5 Ways The Internet Could Kill You

Published on August 3, 2010 in Fitness, Health, Internet and Technology. 0 Comments Tags: , , , .

You may not have realized that the internet can kill you but it can. To keep yourself and your loved ones safe take a look at these 5 ways that the internet could kill you so that you can guard against them. And remember that the internet is a tool. You have to use it wisely.

Internet Drugs

You can order all kinds of drugs off of the internet. You can order medications for health problems, weight loss medications, and all manner of other vitamins and supplements. If you take the wrong medications then you could very well make yourself sick and even die from these pills. Medications found on the internet may be safe or they may not be. If the pills you order do not come from a trustworthy source or if you do not take them correctly then you could definitely experience adverse health effects up to and including death.

Bad Medical Advice

There is endless medical advice out there on the internet. Some of it is good advice, some of it is bad advice, and some of it just doesn’t pertain to you even if it is based on valid information. If you follow medical advice that you find online then you could die. There are many conditions that require medical professionals and immediate medical treatment and if you are looking to the internet instead of a trained professional then you may find the wrong advice. You may even miss out on the medical care you need and die as a result. The internet is a fine place to learn but sometimes you need a real live doctor.

Web Sites Promoting Eating Disorders

These web sites do actually exist. They attempt to elevate eating disorders to being some sort of a status symbol and this is where this application of the internet gets dangerous. Eating disorders can and do lead to death.

In fact, anorexia is the psychological condition with the highest mortality rate. That means more people die from anorexia and anorexia related complications than from any other psychological condition. And this is just the final medical complication. Many more come before it.

Dating Sites

Anyone who meets someone through a dating web site, or through the internet in general, has to be extremely careful. You never know what the person on the other end of an internet connection is like. There have been many documented cases of individuals who met someone online and then in person only to be killed by their new online buddy.

Social Networking Sites

Social networking sites can be fun. Or the people on them can be cruel. Not everyone is able to cope with online insults. This phenomenon has even been called online bullying and is a serious matter.

It can take people who are already vulnerable and can lead them to commit suicide. If you are the vulnerable one then it could kill you. Of course if you are the one doing the bullying then you know that the person or people you are attacking online could turn their anger into violence and that could kill you too.

Problems with Pull Muscles?

I have noticed that there is an ever increasing and seemingly a trend of people who pulls their muscles in their bodies and end up needing physical therapy.  Statistics showed, not long ago that more people end up in a therapy type helping them nurse their strained back which is pulled during exercises than ever.

The main cause of muscle pulls comes from weightlifting.  Many people are not well informed when they start and try to find way as they move toward stronger self.  The problem with them is that they react and they do not act.  Meaning that they want a healthier body but they don’t take the right time required so they can be more educated before they embark on this physical fitness path.

During weight lifting session, the use of too many weights is the main cause of injuries.  People tend to find their maximum amount and while doing so they inevitably strain their muscles.  You can go to bookstores to get the information you need before starting weight lifting.  Get the ones that provides pictures so that it can be easily understood and followed.

Our body’s tissues needs oxygen to live.  When there is an inadequate supply of oxygen in the body, the condition called “anoxia” occur.  Oxygen shortage may be apparent in blood circulation.  The blood’s red cells may be inadequate in amount or the red coloring that is necessary to carry oxygen.  Anything blocking the circulation also blocks the oxygen supply.  The cells  of the body some times are unable since there is a change taking up the oxygen that reaches them.

Because all our body parts need oxygen, a shortage of oxygen affects all our body parts.  However, there are some body tissues that are much dependent on oxygen that others are.  The nervous system is among the most sensitive in all of them that a sudden lack of oxygen in it may result an impairment judgment, lack of movement co-ordination and in condition that resembles to a drunk person.  After this situation persist, the person becomes drowsy, fatigued, inattentive and unable to respond to even ordinary stimuli.

Taking organics really make sense.  Turning to organics is a great option in this world which we have not taken good care of.  There are always organic options for almost everything including hygiene products and even hair care products.

Organic shampoos have become popular these days.  There are products now that crafted chemical free.  Most shampoos are hosts of chemicals used to clean the hair.  Most of these chemicals used in shampoos are actually not good for the hair for they tend to dry them.  With an organic shampoo, there are no chemicals but all natural products.

Organic products like organic shampoos have some benefits.  The most obvious benefit is that you don’t have to wash your hair with a number of chemicals which are proven to harm the hair in the long run.  Also, there are processes involved when making chemicals used in traditional shampoos and that causes toxic waste and pollution.  Therefore, organic shampoo is not just better for your hair but also for the environment.  Remember that the fewer chemicals are there in your being, the better will your life be.  So if you want to live longer, live healthy.
