How Often You Should Shower And Wash Hair | Responding To Comments Ep. 22

you have questions I sometimes have answers Bears ready I'm ready are you ready Robin Discord why do people Twitch in the middle of their sleep and scare the baby whoop out of me you go through different stages of sleep and when you're in your deepest stage of sleep you actually turn off uh your musculoskeletal movements that neurological system shuts down but sometimes when you're going in between stages it doesn't fully shut down and you're still in sleep and you're dreaming so some of those movements that actually do get through bear once did that too and you kicked me I was upset with him what actually causes the sensation of an itch well this is a complex process that's primarily histamine driven there is a specific type of nerve cell fiber known as a c fiber these are sort of The receptors that actually initiate the sensation of an itch usually a response to like a mechanical or chemical process it's an inflammatory response it's a form of an inflammatory response this chord Naomi multifandom why are vaccines usually administered in the shoulder well it's a great muscle deltoid muscle a lot of circulation it's quick it's easy you don't have to get really fully undressed in order to make that injection happen back in the day we used to use the gluteus maximus or the buttock now it's a little bit invasive and it's easier to just go in the shoulder and do the same thing YouTube the house office why are you a fluffy cinnamon roll I must protect first of all I ain't no cinnamon roll Okay the reason I eat no cinnamon roll is because while I am delicious I am healthy I'm like a doctor since it's coming yeah but you don't know what direction it's coming no preparing you don't know what the word is gonna get ready for something like that what can cause a constant ringing in someone's ears other than loud music noise what can get rid of it this is really interesting because tinnitus is a constant ringing in the ears and it can be a ringing could be a buzzing it's all sorts of sounds that can happen and a lot of times the reason why my patients come in is as a result of serum and impaction or earwax blockages another thing that causes it is sensor neural hearing loss you actually develop hearing loss for one of many different reasons and as a result of losing actual hearing you start hearing ringing in your ears which is manufactured by the actual nerve that transmits the sound a lot of people think it means you're hearing something it actually could be a form of hearing loss that's why it's very important to always get it checked out Discord Ariel a lot of medical shows movies you see Med students shocked at being exposed to cadavers for the first time does this ever happen in real life where seeing a dead person for the first time a med student will get sick or faint yeah it happens also the fumes of the formaldehyde are pretty stenchy I don't know if that's a word but I was kind of in awe the first time that I saw them but the scary part was when I was studying for for an exam late Friday night that was for an exam on Monday being alone in a cadaver lab in the dark hearing noises thunderstorm outside no better Discord Jess Michio I always get a runny nose because of spicy food what is that about that is about capsaicin it is a nutrient that is found in spicy foods that actually bind to specific receptors in your body giving you the sensation of burning there's no actual burning happening it's tricking your body to think it's on fire and as a result your body protects Itself by trying to lubricate the area releasing mucus Etc it's a great way to clear your sinuses by the way I'm considering buying a posture corrector do they really work generally speaking here I would say no I want you when you come in with a poor posture is to figure out a what's causing it and B to actually allow your body to fix it or if it's bad enough posture for an anatomical concern refer you to an orthopedic specialist to figure out why that's happening posture corrector is almost end up doing more harm than good in many cases where they weaken your core muscles your stability muscles and as a result making you more likely to get injured there are certain ones on the market for specific conditions that may work but I would generally try and stay away unless your doctor absolutely recommends them Discord Kristen G what up Discord for those who don't know we have a private Discord where we chat patreon members only signed up down below what's the best way to get electrolytes after a hard workout without adding sugar electrolytes are not added through sugar electrolytes are essentially salts that your body needs to function and the way that you get these is by eating Foods or beverages that contain those electrolytes sodium doesn't taste great after a workout but after a grueling one it really does help you absorb the water and stay more hydrated back in the day they used to use pickle juice sure tastes good too not bad I like it I like pickles is there a way for a civilian to test and see what kind of nutrients their body has a lot or a little of I'm always confused about what to eat and would be great to know if I'm eating too much or too little of something currently there's no such thing on the market yes we can do specific blood tests to see if you're low on certain vitamins or if you're anemic and things like that but generally we don't screen for these things if you feel great and you have no symptoms there's no point looking for them because a lot of times if you feel good and your lab value is a little bit off we still decide not to treat the value because the reality is we treat the patient not the lab values why do our stomachs growl usually because they're angry no I'm kidding the reason they growl is because of peristalsis the muscles in the stomach actually try and churn the food in order to be act as a form of mechanical digestion because remember there's multiple types of digestion there's chemical mechanical mechanical being chewing peristalsis the stomach churning and that makes a growling noise also remember when you're dealing with foods and there's bacteria inside our gut there's also gases release that gas as it makes its way through the the digestive system can make those noises and then at the end of the day we fart Lance McPhee YouTube how often should you shower and wash your hair I have this argument so often because there are people who say you have to shower every single day and she wash your hair every single day and that is in fact not reality the decision to wash your hair should really be individualized one a holistic one meaning that yes if your hair is very greasy or your scalp is itchy or there's a lot of dandruff may be a good reason to wash your hair yes if you come home and you're smelly from the gym please shower but otherwise like if you just had a normal day it's not absolutely mandatory that you shout and it's not absolutely mandatory that you need to use shampoo and depending on your hair type also decides how often you should be washing your hair goes with very fine hair maybe every day every other day those with more textured hair can go several days without washing their hair but know that the more often you wash your hair the more that you actually take off some of those important oils off of your scalp you can actually cause damage more irritation dry out your hair etc etc when it comes to showering same thing your skin doesn't like hot water your skin doesn't like having soap all over it all the time in fact your shower should be really ideally short like three or four minutes just focusing on like you're growing your armpits that's about it why do so many people set a step gold count of 10K days there any scientific reason for this yeah the 10K thing doesn't really mean much look however whatever way you choose to get active it will be healthy for you if you're increasing from 5K steps to 7K steps amazing if you've been working out one day a week and you've gone to three days a week amazing I will never be that rigid doctor that's like see by your watch here you've averaged 999.9 steps disappointed it's time for me to cut you as a patient is eating burn food bad for you actually it is Neko muser you actually create all these cancer-causing chemicals when you eat burnt Foods so ideally you want to stay away from chard as much as possible in fact marinate marinating your Meats help prevent some of those hydrocarbons and other toxic nutrients from forming they're not even nutrients chemicals from forming actually eating greens with your Meats helps decrease some of the cancer-causing minerals as well keep calling them different things nutrients minerals they're chemicals seaweed ties does banging one's head from the side actually Shake water out from your ears or is that something they do in cartoons don't bang your head that's how concussions happen just jump and the gravity will do the trick if someone gets stabbed in the stomach will the stomach acid seep out into their body and start dissolving their organs uh yeah it's very problematic when someone has a stomach injury like it won't completely dissolve their organs but it'll cause damage it'll cause a peritonitis Hyper Shadow sniper 76 when you're performing chest compressions you break the Ribs Right couldn't that broken rib puncture an organ below because you're putting so much pressure on it you can but guess what if you're performing chest compressions that person's already dead and you're trying to bring them back to life so anything you can do to continue their time by circulating the blood that's already in the circulatory system that has some oxygen left you're buying them some extra added survival time that's why you don't do chest compressions on people who are alive Tara Discord is there a way to suppress my gag reflex I literally gag every time I brush my teeth I had to Patient tell me the exact same thing what I told them is this is kind of a weird trick put his thumb tuck his thumb underneath his fist when he's brushing his teeth and for some reason this worked very well for him easy enough to try but if it's happening quite often seeing your doctor and figuring out if everything's okay in your oral cavity is probably a smart move Sam hours from three feet away you said there's a much higher fiber content eating a fruit itself as opposed to just drinking the juice do I also lose a lot of fiber in homemade smoothie because the fruit is getting broken down by a blender does the blender not break it down enough to alter the fiber volume good question you Sam and the answer is yes the the beginning of that mechanical digestion by your smoothie actually does decrease some of that fiber content because your body has to do less work now thanks Dr Mike I watch the office medical scenes and reacted to them right here I bet you didn't know that they did chest compressions on the office CPR c-p-r as always stay happy and healthy foreign [Music]
