Scabies is a skin condition caused by mites that dig under the skin. Mites are eight-legged animals related to spiders, scorpions, and ticks. They are so tiny that they require a microscope to be seen. The scientific name for the scabies mite, or âitch mite,â is Sarcoptes scabiei.
The South Beach Diet is a commercial diet plan designed by cardiologist Dr. Arthur Agatston and dietitian Marie Almon in the mid-1990s. It became popular after 2003, with the launch of a best-selling book.
The South Beach Diet claims not to be a traditional low-carb diet. The focus is more on selecting the right carbohydrates, including whole grains, specific fruits and vegetables, appropriate fats, such as canola oil and olive oil, as well as lean protein sources. 1.
