š§ What we covered:
The past week we looked at how your body whispers warnings long before a crisis occurs. From aneurysm symptoms and rabies incubation to the colour of your fingers and the headaches from ice cream, we unravelled surprising signals. We also explored why some habits we assume are safe such as extreme hydration and hookah sessions carry hidden risks, and celebrated exercise as a daily prescription that can rival medication.
š¹ Videos uploaded:
1ļøā£ Brain aneurysm warning signs most people ignore daily
Learn how high blood pressure, smoking and genetics contribute to aneurysm risk and why a sudden thunderclap headache is an emergency.
2ļøā£ Rabies symptoms appear when it is already too late
Understand how the rabies virus travels up nerves silently, why early wound cleaning and vaccination after an animal bite are lifesaving.
3ļøā£ Finger colour changing is a warning sign
Discover what Raynaud's phenomenon is, how cold or stress turns your fingers white or blue, and when it might signal an underlying autoimmune condition.
4ļøā£ Drinking too much water can kill you (hyponatremia)
Explore how overhydration dilutes sodium, causes brain swelling and seizures, and why you should drink according to thirst.
5ļøā£ Why hookah is more dangerous than cigarettes
One hour of hookah can expose you to 100 to 200 times more smoke than one cigarette; water does not filter the toxins, and the charcoal adds extra carbon monoxide.
6ļøā£ Why ice cream causes brain freeze (explained)
Find out how cold triggers a pain response via the trigeminal nerve and why brain freeze is harmless but uncomfortable.
7ļøā£ Why daily exercise beats medicationĀ

š¬ Key takeaway:
Listening to your bodyās small signals and staying curious about everyday habits can make a huge difference. Whether it is recognising a thunderclap headache, taking rabies precautions or skipping the hookah lounge, your choices matter. Most powerful of all? Moving your body every day as an act of self care and prevention.
