Why smokers are proud that they are smoking? Showing off the smoke everywhere

The Day Your Nose Decides to Take a Holiday
Have you ever noticed that your nose is the most underappreciated employee you will ever have?
It shows up every second.
Works every shift.
Never asks for a raise.
Then one tiny cold arrives.
And suddenly you would trade almost anything for the luxury of breathing through both nostrils.
Is not that how we treat good health?
We rarely celebrate it.
We simply expect it.
Until a headache teaches us the value of a clear mind.
Until a sore throat reminds us how beautiful swallowing is.
Until a single aching tooth turns a favourite meal into a negotiation.
How quickly the ordinary becomes extraordinary when it disappears.
Perhaps gratitude was never supposed to wait for loss.
Perhaps the greatest blessing is not extraordinary health, but ordinary health. The kind that lets you laugh without pain, walk without thinking, sleep without discomfort, and wake up ready for another day.
The quiet things rarely ask to be noticed.
But they deserve to be.
Maybe today, before asking Allah for more, we could thank Him for everything that is already working so faithfully that we have forgotten it exists.

Salam everyone - what is everyone’s best methods for recovery after whether it’s weights, calisthenics, cardio, endurance etc? I do tend to love going to the sauna and doing 3-4 sets of 7-10 mins each and having an intensive cold shower after.

Also considering to try do Hyperbaric chamber, Cryro ice chamber and red light therapy. Anyone done those before, let me know your thoughts on them too!

🙏🏼❤️.

Hello peeps! Salam :D

So this would be my first time hahaha, any suggestions for the first timer in gym? 😁

Urine and Feces in Public Pools
 
It's Not Chlorine That Turns Your Eyes Red in the Pool: IT'S PEE, And unfortunately, the ickiness doesn’t end there. 
 
The CDC has teamed up with the Water Quality and Health Council and the National Swimming Pool Foundation for their annual Healthy Swimming Program. They’re seeking to educate Americans about the many possible dangers of pools and what you can do to keep your swim as clean and healthy as possible. “We think that swimming is a really fantastic activity,” says Michael J. Beach, Ph.D., associate director of the CDC’s Healthy Water program. “We want to keep it that way.”
 
So what horrifying info would the CDC like to share with you? For starters, it turns out that your red eyes after swimming aren’t coming from an irritation to the chlorine. “It’s quite the opposite,” says Beach. “Chlorine binds with all the things it’s trying to kill from your bodies, and it forms these chemical irritants. That’s what’s stinging your eyes. It’s the chlorine binding to the urine and the sweat.” He gives another example of what can happen to you when chlorine binds to urine and sweat in a pool: that cough you get from an indoor pool. The trapped chemical reaction is what irritates your lungs.
 
And if you think that there are safeguards in pools to shame those sneaky urinators (like dye that's supposed to make pool water change color if someone pees), not so much. “That dye is a complete myth,” says Beach. “It’s about scaring people into not urinating in the pool.”
 
But that’s not all. Beach explains that there’s been an increase in the number of disease outbreaks at public swimming pools, thanks to adults, children, or babies swimming while they have diarrhea. And yes, it’s much more pervasive than it used to be. “We have a new parasitic germ that has emerged that’s immune to chlorine,” says Beach. “We’ve got to keep it out of the pool in the first place. We need additional barriers.”
 
You can’t just blame those diapered toddlers in the shallow end, though. A person doesn’t have to literally defecate in a pool to spread illness—they could just have the germs on their bodies, which is why you’re always encouraged to shower off before you get into a pool. One ailing person might not be enough to do it, but “if you’re talking about thousands of people using the same pool, those germs can really add up,” says Beach.
 
Blessedly, there are ways to help avoid any of this nastiness. Don't go in pools when you’re sick (to protect others) or have open wounds (to protect yourself). Never ever ever pee in a pool. And don’t think that lakes or oceans are any safer. Yes, they can be vast, giving you the impression that your tiny germs will just be washed away. But: “If you’re swimming next to someone who has diarrhea, there’s no protection,” says Beach. In fact, there was recently a large norovirus outbreak at a lake in Oregon, says Beach—and according to a CDC investigation, health experts suspect that the outbreak began when someone infected with the norovirus swam in (and had diarrhea or vomited in) the lake.
 
Keep it clean, and enjoy yourself out there—assuming you are capable of going to a pool ever again after reading this.

Note:
One other thing to note is that the non-Muslims don't wash after using the toilet, they wipe, so their urine and feces (left behind after the wiping) is still on their body and when they go into the pool then it is mixed into the water.

An important reason not to use public pools.
