Well-being, wellness, and health are related concepts, but they each have distinct meanings and implications for an individual's overall state of being. Understanding the differences between these relations can help individuals make informed choices about their physical, mental, and emotional well-being. Health: Health is a multifaceted concept that primarily refers to an individual's physical condition. It encompasses the absence of diseases and the proper functioning of bodily systems. Health can be categorized into different dimensions, including: Physical Health: This dimension focuses on the well-functioning of the body's organs and systems.

Mental Health: Mental health refers to an individual's psychological well-being. It encompasses emotional stability, the ability to manage stress, and the absence of mental disorders. It's cruc...
Some 6-12 million people are afflicted with head lice each
year, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Many end up
struggling with head lice for weeks, months, or even years. Why are head lice
so challenging to get out of your life? Here are some of the most common
reasons your head lice won't go away and what to do about it:1. Over-the-counter treatments don't work. The resistance of head lice to the most popular drugstore products is well-researched and well-documented. The most recent report, issued in 2016, found that most lice in 48 states are now resistant to pyrethroids. These pesticide-resistant lice are called Super Lice. read more. gravtechnology
2. Nitpicking is subject to human error. The most effective
alternative to drugstore lice products has traditionally been nitpicking. This
is the process of combing out live lice and then playing a daunting
cat-and-mouse game with the lice eggs (nits). They are tiny—about the size of a
sesame seed—and are attached with the insect equivalent of superglue to hair
shafts. The problem is, if you miss even two tiny nits, they will hatch, then
live lice will multiply again, and you'll have a fresh infestation.
3. Failing to get every member of the household checked. Too often, parents assume that the child found to have lice at school or daycare is the only one with lice. That's unlikely. Because lice are most likely to spread by direct head-to-head contact, it's common for the entire family to contract head lice, including parents! If only one person in the family is checked and treated, the lice will likely come back to that person from another family member.
4. Home lice remedies are unproven at best and dangerous at worst. You can search the Internet for lice solutions and find mommy bloggers and others that swear by home treatments like mayonnaise, petroleum jelly, olive oil, vodka, and even kerosene and hot bacon grease. The methods vary, but in general, this involves covering a child's head with one of these substances overnight, which also means covering their head with some plastic wrap. First, a child sleeping with plastic on their head risks suffocation. Second, substances like kerosene are highly flammable and should not be used.
5. Failing to tell your friends and family. Let's face it –
we are social creatures. If you have lice, you got it from SOMEONE. This means
someone you know already has it and may not even realise it (yep, half the
time, people with lice are asymptomatic). That means there is a chance, depending
on how long you've had lice, that YOU'VE passed those bugs to someone else too.
So the best thing to do once you have identified and gotten rid of your lice is
to tell your circle of friends and family about it. By being open with them
about lice, they can get screened and treated as well, if necessary.
