What Is a Sprain?
A sprain is caused by stretching or tearing a ligament, or the connective tissue between bones. Ligaments help support your 360 joints, enabling you to move your elbows, knees, hips, and other parts of the body.
Sprains can be mild, moderate, or severe, but symptoms of all three types of sprains commonly include:
Bruising
Inflammation
Pain
Swelling
Sprains can be caused by direct or indirect trauma to a joint, such as a fall or a hit. You will typically feel a pop or tear in the joint when a sprain occurs. A severe sprain can immediately cause extreme pain because the ligament tears completely, making the joint nonfunctional. Moderate sprains are partial ligament tears that create unstable joints. A mild sprain stretches the ligament, which does not loosen the joint.
What Is a Strain?
Strains are injuries of your muscles or your tendons, which connect muscles to bone. Typically caused by overuse of muscles and tendons, symptoms of strains can include:
Cramping
Inflammation
Muscle spasm
Muscle weakness
Pain
Swelling
Severe strains can cause your muscle and/or tendon to be partially or completely torn, leading to debilitation. Moderate strains can partially affect muscle function since the muscle or tendon is likely only slightly torn. If you have a mild strain, your muscle or tendon is slightly stretched, not torn.

Chronic bronchitis and emphysema
Technology has taken over people nowdays. The avarege person spends up too 3 hours a day on there phones,which doesnt sound that bad but that adds up to over 35 days a year on there phones. Video games and phones distract from exersise and proper health. Many people when in bed stare at there phones for hours not sleeping. Decresed sleep is not good for your overall health.People spend too much time sedentary on there phones or Tvs. People should get an hour to 75 min a day exersing. It can even be a walk in the park but movment would help. I think tecnology has put a big effect on human health and has made us lazy.
