Snoring is the hoarse or harsh sound produced when air flows past relaxed tissues in your throat, causing the tissues to vibrate as you breathe. During sleep, muscles tend to relax, narrowing the airway, and additional factors like alcohol consumption, smoking, nasal issues, and weight gain can increase the chances of snoring.
Apart from impacting your partner's sleep quality in the bedroom, snoring can affect our sleep quality in the long term and may further progress into sleep apnea if left unaddressed.

Knee pain is a common complaint among adults and is most often associated with general wear and tear from daily activities like walking, bending, standing and lifting.
One of the primary causes is osteoarthritis (OA) of the knee, otherwise known as “wear and tear” knee pain. People with knee OA typically experience pain when moving the knee or after periods of rest or inactivity and temporary stiffness of the knee.
For some people, OA of the knee is relatively mild and does not affect day-to-day activities but for others, it causes substantial pain and disability.
Onychomycosis is a fungal infection of the toenails or fingernails. It begins as a white or yellow-brown spot beneath the tip of the nail.
As the fungal infection goes deeper, the nail may discolor, thicken and crumble at the edge. Nail fungus can impact multiple nails and over time, cross infection to the nails of other hands, feet or both.
