Nausea

Sweating can be very annoying — bacteria can stick to it and make you smell bad, and if you don’t clean your face after sweating, you might get pimples. You also need to wash your hair often if you sweat a lot, even though frequent hair washing isn’t necessarily good for you. So it’s easy to assume that all of these troubles would go away if you just didn’t sweat anymore. But there are pros and cons to your body stopping this important process.

Vegan, no gluten, low-fat, and even superfood labels are constantly promoted as “healthy” and “guilt-free” options to help you achieve perfect well-being.

In the end, we might end up damaging our health and unexpectedly putting on extra pounds.

Most of us have seen or heard of people who’ve gotten their earlobes pierced with a piercing gun. We don’t question it and think it’s normal, because so many people do it that way.

It seems like many people have started to carry a bottle of water wherever they go and this is a good way to stay hydrated.

We often fail to recognize symptoms of a carb intolerance and can even misdiagnose them as signs of other problems. This condition appears when your body can’t effectively digest foods that contain starch or that are high in sugar, like processed treats, some fruit, and milk. And as it turns out, this is relatively common, especially in children, and can cause a lot of discomfort.

Instant Noodles are not as harmless as some of us might have previously thought. They often cause health problems that we would never attribute to Instant Noodles.

We at Bright Side have done research that will show you the effects and harm that Instant Noodles can have on your body after you ingest them.

Burning, dull, sharp pain or cramping in different areas of your belly can tell a lot about how your body currently feels.
