Dr. Joseph Papotto discusses the holiday health hazards on his radio chat, including “I Got the Gout (Grout).” He talks about how holiday heart is a frequent occurrence around the holidays due to people drinking too much alcohol. This can lead to palpitations and even Atrial Fibrillation. He also mentions how colds, flu, and stomach bugs are common around the holidays due to families sharing gifts and food with each other. Accidental injuries also tend to increase during festive times such as sprains, strains, lacerations, falls, and burns. To prevent these mishaps, Dr. Papotto advises eating and drinking in moderation, taking decent contagious precautions while visiting, and slowing down and thinking before doing something that could put you in the ER.

Dr. Papotto also talks about gout, a kind of arthritis that can cause an attack of sudden burning pain, stiffness, and swelling in a joint, usually the big toe. Gout is caused by too much uric acid in the blood, and it is most common in men. He also mentions that gout can be caused by being overweight, drinking too much alcohol, eating too much meat and fish that are high in purines, and by taking certain medicines for blood pressure.

Lastly, Dr. Papotto talks about the myth that the human body is 80% water and states that the actual percentage of water in the human body is around 72%, with 8% chemical compounds and 20% bone and solid tissue. He also mentions the importance of water for maintaining all of the body’s systems and for repairing any damage.
