Did you know some health conditions can affect your personality and make you act in ways that are out of character for you?

Here are a few...
#MentalHealthMatters
1. Schizophrenia

This can make you hear voices and see things that aren't there or believe things that aren't real. At first, you just might not be as social as normal. As it gets worse, it can be tough to keep your thoughts on track, making it hard to even talk to people.
2. Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder

This condition (OCD) makes you feel anxious and have thoughts and urges you just can't stop. For example, you might wash your hands over and over again. You might doubt yourself a lot and take a long time to finish simple tasks.
3. Parkinson's Disease

While it might start as a little shakiness in the hand, Parkinson's can eventually affect how you walk, talk, sleep, and think. Even early on, it can lead to things like obsessing over small details or a sudden carelessness.
4. Bipolar Disorder

This causes mood changes that go way beyond the normal ups and downs of life. When you're up, you might feel jumpy, talk really fast & take big risks. When you're down, you might be worried, have low energy & feel worthless. Sometimes, it might be a mix.
5. Thyroid Disease

The thyroid makes hormones that tell your body how fast or slow to work. If it makes too much of those, it can feel like someone stomped on the gas pedal. You might be irritable, anxious, and have big mood swings.
6. Depression

As it comes on, this reaches into every part of your life. It not only affects your mood, but also the kinds of things you think about, your memory, and how you make decisions. It changes how you think about the world around you.
7. Traumatic Brain Injury

After a serious blow to the head, changes in personality can be a hidden symptom that happens over time. In more serious cases, you may seem like a different person, saying or doing things you never would have in the past.
8. Dementia With Lewy Bodies

After Alzheimer's, this is the next most common type of dementia. Clumps of unusual proteins called Lewy bodies, form in the areas of your brain that control memory, movement, and thinking. So it affects you both mentally and physically.
9. Multiple Sclerosis (MS)

This causes the immune system to attack nerves in the brain & spine. It can cause problems ranging from bladder issues to immobility. In some cases, it can lead to a feeling of euphoria, where happiness is beyond normal and out of touch with reality.
10. Alzheimer's Disease

This illness affects thinking, judgment, memory, and decision-making. It can make people feel confused and change how they act. Early on, you may be anxious or more easily annoyed. Over time, it can have more serious effects.

1. It is neither 'Brazilian' nor is it a butt lift.

The BBL is an augmentation of the buttock region using a patient's fat tissue.
#AvonsPracticalTips #HealthyLiving Image
The BBL procedure starts with liposuction of a different area, often the abdomen, flanks, thighs or back.

The fat removed from these areas is then injected into the hips and buttocks to improve shape and projection.
#AvonsPracticalTips #HealthyLiving
2. BBL can be dangerous

The keyword is 'can'.

Although it is generally safe, there is a risk of fat getting into major blood vessels and clogging them when being injected.

5 things you should never say to a suicidal person

#Thread #WorldSuicidePreventionDay #AvonsPracticalTips #HealthyLiving
1. “Suicide is selfish and Cowardly.”

This guilt trip is quite common but many people who consider suicide think their existence is a burden to the people they love. 'Self' is the last thing they care about.
#WorldSuicidePreventionDay #AvonsPracticalTips
Also, it's counterproductive to help someone by shaming them? Naturally, people would do everything possible to avoid death. We won't say suicide is brave but overcoming the fear of death isn't cowardly.

We often talk about what foods to avoid to prevent chronic diseases but what about foods we should eat more of?

#Thread #AvonsPracticalTips #HealthyLiving
When examining what risk factor is responsible for more deaths around the world than any other, the culprit isn't smoking or even high blood pressure.

It's a poor diet.
#Thread #AvonsPracticalTips #HealthyLiving
According to Ashkan Afshin, lead author of a 27-year global diet analysis recently published in the Lancet, this issue is not just about unhealthy food options; but a lack of healthy foods in our diets and high levels of salt.

Exercising, quitting smoking, etc. Those are the 'regular' things your doctor will suggest to keep your heart healthy.

But there's more.

Here are 10 out-of-the-box things you can also do to ensure that your heart keeps going strong.

#AvonsPracticalTips #HealthyLiving
1. Play between the sheets

Sex may add more than just pleasure to your life. It may also help lower your blood pressure and risk of heart disease. Research shows that reduced sexual activity is associated with higher rates of cardiovascular disease.

2. Brush your teeth regularly

Good oral hygiene does more than keep your teeth white and glistening. Some research suggests that the bacteria that cause gum disease can also raise your risk of heart disease.
