Understanding Cholesterol: Good vs Bad Cholesterol

Cholesterol is a fatty substance essential for building cells, hormones, and Vitamin D, but too much “bad” cholesterol (LDL) can build up in blood vessels and increase the risk of heart disease and stroke. “Good” cholesterol (HDL) helps remove excess cholesterol from the bloodstream.

Treating Sunburn Safely

Too much sun exposure can do more than cause redness — it can damage your skin cells and increase long-term skin cancer risk. Sunburn is your skin’s inflammatory response to harmful UV rays. Common symptoms include redness, pain, swelling, peeling, and in severe cases, fever or dehydration. Cooling the skin, staying hydrated, and using soothing moisturizers like aloe vera can help support recovery. Avoid harsh products, direct ice, and further sun exposure while healing.
