One of the most common, self-cautious, and sometimes embarrassing things in life could also be one of the most beneficial things for your immune system. Booger picking. Just hearing those two words is disgusting to me. But reading over this article actually seems very interesting and something everyone should look into. Especially for the younger generations. It was stated in the article that picking your nose and eating it is one of the best ways to stay healthy, according to a top Austrian doctor. Innsbruck-based lung specialist Prof Dr. Friedrich Bischinger said people who pick their noses with their fingers were healthy, happier and probably better in tune with their bodies. This is so crazy that something society looks down upon in disgust, when you catch someone picking their nose in the car or in a grocery store line, you look at them in disgust and shame. But from this article it gives you a whole new outlook on it and possibly a healthier lifestyle. If this is true in helping your immune system and overall make a person happier in life. In the article the Dr. states that man...

Alcohol causes a lot of trouble in a lot of peoples lives not just in the drinkers life. . Some ways it effects peoples lives include alcohol poisoning and alcohol-related traffic fatalities by individuals who are problem drinkers but who are not alcohol dependent. Because alcohol has so many negative effects on a person's mental and physical health, people should avoid the consumption of it altogether.
Research on taste aversion in rats led to the discovery that suppression of the immune system can be influenced by:
“The Sneetches” is about two types of creatures, divided by having or not having stars on their bellies. Symbolic interaction theory examines society by approaching the subjective meanings that people set on things, events, and conduct. A few important features of our social knowledge and character, is race that was brought out in the video. By showing injustice, the star belly sneetches wouldn’t allow their children to play ball with the plain belly sneetches children. While the star belly sneetches had picnics and parties, they never invited the plain belly sneetches, and would always keep them away year after year. The sneetches with stars are not considered bourgeoisie because, they didn’t own any means of production such as machinery.

There is a reason that meticulous hand hygiene is a standard of care for all patients-it saves lives. Hand hygiene is basic task that has many benefits. It is common knowledge that hand hygiene is a “good” habit. Knowing that information, we must now explore how well nurses and other health care professionals are adhering to the standards of appropriate and effective hand hygiene practices.
What is deviance? The fact or state of departing from usual or acceptable standards, especially in social or sexual behavior. Based off the readings in regards to deviant behavior, the stories tend to show how the social environment can cause a forceful reminder of the situational grounding of morality. In the story “Eating Your Friends Is the Hardest,” the people that survived the plane crash in the Andes had to make a decision on whether they were going to survive based on environmental necessities that were available or whether they were going to die due to lack of nourishment. The individuals had to put aside their moral ways of thinking eating human remains of friends/family members is deviant behavior and to consider that as temporary
Hats off to bacteria! This article summarizes that bacteria are good for our body and help us function a lot better. Bacteria live in our guts, in our mouths, and on our skin. Overuse of antibiotics has disturbed the bacterial ecosystem, possibly so much that it is irreversible. In 1999 Lawrence Brandt a professor of medicine and surgery at the Albert Einstein College of medicine had success when trying to help a patient combat diarrhea induced by clostridium difficile. A patient developed diarrhea after taking a course of antibiotics for sinusitis; nothing could shake her C.difficile infection. Brandt reasoned the initial antibiotic treatment had killed gut bacteria that promote digestive health; not knowing which strain to replace, he transplanted stool form her husband. That night she reported marked improvement- for the first time in six months. This procedure has helped patients, but hopefully in the future doctors will be able to administer the particular strain of bacteria that is needed. 99% of the bacteria we harbor are resistant to culture in the lab. It was this impossible to study bacteria until the last decade or so, when DNA sequencing techniques allowed researchers to obtain gene sequences from as little as one bacterial cell. With this researchers found that bacteria cells in our bodies outnumber our human cells. Bacterial exposure throughout our lifetime is needed for our wellbeing, thinking, and functioning, contributing to conditions such as diabetes, obesity, allergies, asthma, and atherosclerosis, as well as to anxiety and mood and cognition disorders. These conditions have become more prominent because of our obsession with sanitation has eliminated the exposure to bacteria humans used to routinely get throu...

Research examiners of the FASEB Journal (1996), a scientific journal promoting scientific progress and education, performed a study consisting of 120 individuals. The participants were only permitted to obtain 4 hours of sleep, making them sleep deprived. The effects of the loss of sleep in the participants were clear. The sleep deprivation caused a decrease in the number of natural killer (NK) cells, which are cells that play a critical role in bacteria-rejection of the immune system. By impacting the overall effectiveness of the immune system, the body had become weaker and was not able to fight off viruses such as the common cold or a sore throat. Due to the inadequate amount of sleep acquired, the normal processes of the immune system had been
Micro-organisms play a huge part in a human’s life. Microbes are given a bad reputation because they are often known for causing disease, but that is not always the case. Microbes are found on the surface of our skin, in our intestines, and everywhere else. In fact, humans need microbes to survive. Microbes make up more than 60% of the living matter in the world. To put that into perspective, a million microbes could be found in only a teaspoon of soil (“About Microbiology” n.d.).
