​​What Is the Difference Between Good and Bad Cholesterol?

Cholesterol, a waxy substance that builds in the arteries is not completely harmful, despite its reputation for being bad for you. In fact, some of it can even improve your health when consumed in the right amounts.  There are two types: high-density lipoprotein (HDL) and low-density lipoprotein (LDL). As a general rule, HDL is considered “good” cholesterol, while LDL is considered “bad.” This is because HDL carries cholesterol to your liver, where it can be removed from your bloodstream before it builds up in your arteries. LDL, on the other hand, takes cholesterol directly to your arteries. This can result in atherosclerosis, a plaque buildup that can even cause heart attack and stroke. Triglycerides make up the third component of cholesterol and act as unused calories that are stored as fat in the blood.

These triggers are vast and varied, and include lack of sleep, increase in stress, dietary choices, strong scents, shift in weather, or hormonal changes during a woman’s menstrual cycle. Those abnormally firing neurons cause hyperexcitability in various regions of the brain, leading to symptoms that affect the senses.

​​What is a Seizure and What happens in the Brain during a Seizure?

​​What is a Seizure and What happens in the Brain during a Seizure? A seizure is a sudden surge of electrical activity in the brain. A seizure usually affects how a person appears or acts for a short time. Many different things can occur during a seizure. Whatever the brain and body can do normally can also occur during a seizure. The electrical activity is caused by complex chemical changes that occur in nerve cells. Brain cells either excite or inhibit (stop) other brain cells from sending messages. Usually there is a balance of cells that excite and those that can stop these messages.

Instead, they are a symptom of many different disorders that can affect the brain. Some seizures can hardly be noticed, while others are...
