Have you ever noticed sock marks on your ankles or feet ?
Do you have any tips on how to prevent them ?

You’ve probably noticed that sometimes your socks may leave a reddish imprint on your ankles. If it happens just once or twice, it can be a sign that the elastic that keeps the socks from slipping down is too strong. But if your sock marks are common, it’s a signal your body is using to tell you something might be wrong.
We at Bright Side have done some research to find out what health issues sock marks can alert you to. And don’t forget to check out the additional tips on how to prevent sock imprints at the end of the article.
1. High blood pressure
If you’re experiencing a disturbing feeling of swollen legs, the reason may be excess fluid that’s building up in your lower legs. Usually, it’s not painful by itself, but wearing socks may feel uncomfortable. High blood pressure is caused by fluid retention and makes it hard for the heart to transport blood throughout the body. The body responds by holding onto fluid that usually settles in the legs and feet.
2. Varicose veins
When the veins in your legs become weakened, they can’t return blood to your heart quickly enough. Blood then backs up in your leg veins and leads to painful swelling. This condition is one of the contributing factors to varicose veins. If you’re getting sock marks regularly, your body might be trying to send you a signal that your veins don’t let blood flow back up to your heart.
3. Dehydration
If your body doesn’t get enough water, it may damage your blood vessels. Damaged veins may begin to create small leaks that allow fluid to build up in the surrounding tissue. Common places for this fluid to be collected are around the ankles and feet. Sock marks that appear around your ankles may indicate that your body is dehydrated.
4. Side effects from medication
Certain medications can also cause lower leg swelling. Some kinds of antidepressants and blood pressure medications may lead to the unpleasant feeling of swollen feet. Certain types of contraception (especially birth control pills that contain estrogen) can change hormone levels in a woman’s body and cause water retention and leg swelling.
Bonus: what to do if you get sock marks regularly
If sock marks appear on your legs regularly, it’s best to consult a doctor. But you can improve the condition by following some simple recommendations that can ease the unpleasant feeling of swollen legs. Reduce salt in your diet.
Maintain a healthy weight.
Wear compression socks and stockings.
Change positions frequently and avoid sitting and standing for long periods of time.
Wear comfortable shoes with low heels.

There are films that continue to be broadcast on television with plots that still manage to provoke laughter despite their age.

If you want to radically change your appearance, sometimes getting a haircut is enough. This applies not only to people but also to our 4-legged friends. After visiting the groomer, some pets are transformed so drastically that even their owners can’t recognize them.
We at Bright Side have looked through hundreds of photos of animals that have visited the groomer, but we couldn’t decide which pictures, before or after the haircut, the dogs looked prettier in. We’ll let you be the judge.
“My 13-year-old dog, Archie, before and after having visited the groomer — he’s practically a new dog!”
— “My dog got a haircut!” — “I hate to tell you this, but the groomer gave you back the wrong dog...”
“Sirius got a haircut. This was an extreme makeover!”
New groomer — new summer haircut
— “Finally, we got to the hairdresser!” — “OMG, are you sure that’s the same dog?!”
Grooming can transform you.
“I don’t know how it happened, but the groomer gave me back a shrimp instead of my fluffy puppy.”
“Mom said we’d be lucky if the dog let us give her a bath or a haircut. I think this a success.”
Dog 1: “I’m fabulous now!” Dog 2: “Really Jake? I thought you were prettier before.”
“Billy came home from the groomer as a completely different doggy!”
“She’s my Claire Bear before and after getting a haircut. She’s 13 years old, but is still enjoying life.”
“My big guy has maintained a healthy weight for a year and a half. He went to the groomer today and is looking extra handsome now!”
“Fergus is beardless after getting a haircut.”
“Before and after a haircut — she looks like a totally different dog!”
Now they’re ready for a hot summer.
“Our dog Jojo before and after a much-needed haircut”
“I’m pretty sure the groomer gave me back the wrong dog.”
“My dog got a haircut after 4 months.”
“Sundance almost looks like a new dog after his haircut.”
“I asked the groomer to trim my dogs. There was a slight miscommunication. Now they won’t be able to go outside for a while.”

Generation Z, aka Zoomers, are people born after the year 1997 and who grew up in the epoch of the internet. The teenage issues of these kids are the same but their values are totally different. For example, they take their social media accounts very seriously and perceive blogs and computer games as a serious business and not as entertainment.
We at Bright Side decided to figure out which features characterize modern teenagers and what their main differences from other generations are.
They feel nostalgic for a past that they didn’t live in.
Generation Z is prone to feeling nostalgic about past times, even if they didn’t live in them — they idealize past values and emulate the aesthetics of the 1980s and 1990s. This tendency relates to music as well. The popularity of some bands that were famous in the 1990s hasn’t decreased, even now. Sergey Zhukov (you can see his picture above), the front man of a famous Russian band Ruki Vverh! (“Hands Up!”), which was famous 2 decades ago, confessed that he feels quite surprised when seeing so many young people at his concerts. Moreover, many younger singers like to make covers of old hits.
They don’t put themselves in frames.
According to psychologists, the amount of things that are considered trendy has increased recently. Modern teenagers have many more options for realizing their creative potential, and they are not used to being constrained by a certain “box.” It’s obvious that the urge to follow trends was always there — it’s just that today there are more options for fulfilling them in real life. For example, in the 2000s the most beautiful girl in school was a glamorous coquettish girl, who was almost definitely dressed in pink. Whereas today anyone can be considered a beauty — a freak with bright hair, a tomboy, or a high school student who prefers comfortable clothes and never wears makeup. In this way, Generation Z is gradually erasing the existing roles like “bombshell,” “geek,” and “hooligan” that used to be so loved by the scriptwriters of teenage movies.

Instead, they look for products and messages that reflect the real world, not a perfect picture. This is why Generation Z avoids the traditional ideals of beauty and ways to live a carefree life, as opposed to past generations.
They are sensitive about their health.
The representatives of Gen Z pay more attention to their health and are less prone to consuming hot drinks than for example, millennials at the same age. Moreover, sports play a big role in their lives as well. Nearly two-thirds of teens and young adults regularly use healthy lifestyle apps, according to a study by the nonprofit organization Hope Lab and the Well Being Trust.
They are more prone to mental issues, for obvious reasons.
They suffer from anxiety and depression more often and it’s mostly caused by spending a lot of time on social networks. Psychologist Jean M. Twenge has proven the relationship between smartphone use and mood. According to her, most post-millennials feel more comfortable spending time on the Internet than they do with friends.

Generation Z is not afraid to copy each other because they have a ready-made set of functions and solutions for doing so (for example, successful blogs on social networks). According to a study, teens watch about 68 videos per day on average, and that’s only on the YouTube platform. Teenagers understand that anyone can become a content-maker and that they don’t need to have super special talents for that. Z people live in constant change, in constant search, and in finding new meanings for seemingly ordinary things.
They can communicate with the help of a hyper language.
Zoomers are actively using a so-called hyper language in communication. It’s the first generation that can fully speak with the help of memes, stickers, gifs, and emojis, instead of texts. Gamification has impacted the language culture significantly: you can often see gamer language in the slang of today’s teenagers. These aspects are connected with sociopathy, internet addiction, and multitasking, which are things that exist as a part of Gen Z.

But the truth was discovered when Liv noticed she took more after her actual father, the frontman of Aerosmith, Steven Tyler. That’s when Liv took the name of her father and kept Rundgren as her second name.
Bruno Mars — Peter Hernandez
Peter Hernandez is actually famous under the name Bruno Mars. At the age of 2, he had the nickname, Bruno, because he looked like wrestler Bruno Sammartino.
Alicia Keys — Alicia Augello Cook
Alicia Keys, who has 15 Grammy Awards, is actually Alicia Augello Cook.
Michael Kors — Karl Anderson
The famous American designer, Michael Kors, is actually Karl Anderson. Michael started designing clothes at the age of 19 and later, his collections were very successful and made him famous.
Bonnie Tyler — Gaynor Hopkins
Gaynor Hopkins first changed her name to Sherene Davis to avoid people confusing her with a Welsh folk singer named Mary Hopkin. Later, when she was signing a contract with RCA Records, she was suggested to change her name again. She made a list of first and last names from a newspaper and found a new name — Bonnie Tyler.
Joaquin Phoenix — Joaquin Bottom
The real last name of Joaquin Phoenix is Bottom. But his parents decided to change his last name to Phoenix — the bird that’s reborn from ashes.
The adoption of Maddox from Cambodia marked a significant turn in Angelina Jolie’s life. Initially not keen on motherhood, her trip to Cambodia and the connection she felt with Maddox changed her perspective. Despite challenges in the adoption process, Maddox’s Cambodian heritage remains an integral part of his identity, further strengthened by Jolie’s humanitarian efforts in the country.

Turns out, some lizards are capable of walking on water and some owls keep tiny snakes as pets in their nests. With 8.7 million species sharing the world with us, it is pretty much impossible to know everything about each of them in detail.
Bright Side has put together 10 nerdy facts about animals which will surely help you break the ice when you don’t know what else to talk about.
1. Some lizards can walk on water.
The common basilisk is a species of lizard that can easily walk, and even run, on water. It is found in rainforests and often uses this ability to run away from predators.
2. Zebra stripes are a natural repellent.
The black and white on a zebra’s body helps them keep pesky flies and mosquitoes away. This happens because the pattern “confuses” the insects. According to experts, this could work for humans too.
3. A donkey can defeat a pack of coyotes.
As bizarre as it sounds, farmers keep donkeys around to protect their herds from coyotes, like watchmen. When confronted with a pack of coyotes, donkeys make loud sounds to scare them away. If necessary, they attack the coyotes with their legs and teeth, sometimes even killing them.
4. Newborn ducks can act like other animals.
Ducklings adopt the mannerisms of the first animal they see. This is known as “imprinting.” They are unaware of themselves as a species and mistake the first thing they see as their parent. They can imprint on humans too.
5. Cats are responsible for driving at least 33 endemic species to extinction.
In the US alone, cats kill billions of animals over the span of a year. They are responsible for the deaths of 1.4 −3.7 billion birds and 6.9-20.7 billion mammals annually. It’s not just that, so far they’ve completely wiped out a total of 33 species from the world.
6. The heartbeat of a blue whale can be 2 beats per minute.
The heartrate of a blue whale was measured for the first time last year and it was found that it could be as low as 2 beats per minute. The maximum was found to be 37.
7. Pooping is life-threatening for sloths.
Sloths only defecate once a week and whenever they do, they lose 1/3 of their total body weight.
8. The African penguin can mimic a donkey.
Looking like the exact opposite of how you’d picture a penguin, the African penguin makes a donkey’s bray-like sound to communicate.
9. Owls keep snakes as pets.
Eastern screech owls catch tiny snakes and bring them back to their nests alive. The reason — the snakes eat bugs and keep their owl babies safe. A study found that parent owls knowingly do this to increase the chance of their babies’ survival.
10. Elephants have over 300 billion neurons in their brain.
Elephant brains are very similar to human brains. They have over 300 billion neurons and can carry out a number of human-like emotions, like feeling grief and compassion, learning new things, using tools, etc.
