Q & A
How does sweating affect urine concentration?
-Sweating results in less fluid in the body, which leads to more concentrated urine. This is because there is less fluid available to be eliminated through urine.
Why is it important to drink water when you sweat a lot?
-Drinking water is crucial after excessive sweating to compensate for the fluid loss. Staying hydrated helps maintain the balance of fluids in the body and prevents dehydration.
What is the medical term for the phenomenon where bones suddenly disappearing would leave a person as a bag-like structure?
-While the scenario is hypothetical and not medically possible, it humorously illustrates the critical role bones play in providing structure to the human body.
Can experiencing a negative reaction to medicine cause a lasting aversion to certain smells?
-Though not classified as PTSD medically, a strong association can form between a particular smell and an unpleasant memory, causing an aversion to that smell in the future.
Is it healthy to eat boogers?
-No, it is not healthy to eat boogers as it can introduce bacteria and germs from your hands into your body, potentially leading to illness.
Can one develop lactose intolerance later in life?
-Yes, it is possible to become lactose intolerant later in life. Changes in digestion and absorption capabilities can occur due to various factors, including age and health conditions.
What are some fun alternatives to traditional exercise?
-Alternative forms of exercise can include activities like boxing, rock climbing, bouldering, and dance classes. Any movement that increases heart rate can be considered exercise.

-The time it takes for water and food to be eliminated varies based on factors like hydration levels, consumption of diuretics, the health of the digestive system, and the presence of fiber in the food.
What causes hiccups and how can they be relieved?
-Hiccups are caused by diaphragmatic spasms, which are often triggered by the interaction of the vagus and phrenic nerves. Relief can be sought through methods like eating a spoonful of sugar, breathing into a paper bag, or taking deep breaths.
What is the proper response to a stuffy nose before bed?
-To address a stuffy nose before bed, one can use nasal saline sprays to clear passageways, maintain hydration to thin out mucus, and consider using a humidifier to moisten the nasal membranes.
Why do adults have a harder time falling asleep than children?
-Adults typically have a higher need for deep sleep than children, and as we age, our need for sleep decreases. Additionally, the number of REM hours of sleep becomes more difficult to maintain, which can affect sleep quality.
