C-Section & Mental Health: It’s in the Genes?

Turns out, the link between being born via planned c-section and developing mental health issues like schizophrenia or depression might not be about the surgery at all—it could be genetics! A new study found that people born by planned c-section had higher genetic risk for these conditions, suggesting it’s more about what’s in your DNA than how you were delivered. So, maybe let’s stop blaming the birth method and look at the bigger genetic picture! #Health #MentalHealth #Genetics

Nipah Virus Scare: Airports Bring Back Covid Checks

Remember those airport health checks from the Covid days? They’re back in Asia, but this time it’s because of a deadly Nipah virus outbreak in India. Thailand, Nepal, and Taiwan are screening travelers from West Bengal, with fever checks and quarantine for anyone showing symptoms. Even tourist caves in Thailand are under watch! The virus spreads from animals and person-to-person, and has a super high fatality rate. Would you still travel right now? #Health #BodyHealth #NipahVirus

Eric Dane’s Brave ALS Update

Eric Dane couldn’t make it to the ALS Network’s gala to accept his Advocate of the Year Award because ALS has really taken a toll on him. He’s been super open about his diagnosis and how tough it’s been, but he’s still keeping his spirits up and wants to share his journey to help others. His wife even wrote about how their family is coping. It’s heartbreaking but also inspiring to see how much he’s fighting. #Health #BodyHealth #EricDane

Alzheimer’s Inflammation Breakthrough?

Scientists just found a way to calm brain inflammation linked to Alzheimer’s—without messing up normal brain function. They’ve created new compounds that can sneak past the blood-brain barrier and target a key enzyme (cPLA2) that’s super active in people with the Alzheimer’s risk gene. Early tests in cells and mice look promising! Could this be a game-changer for future treatments? Fingers crossed for what’s next! #Health #BodyHealth #Alzheimers
