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.

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.
