Alicia Williams+FollowFatty Foods & Kids’ Asthma? Who Knew!Turns out, it’s not just obesity—certain fatty foods might actually trigger a tough-to-treat type of asthma in kids. Researchers found that stearic acid (think animal fat and processed snacks) can set off a chain reaction in the lungs, causing inflammation even in non-obese children. The wild part? Swapping out some fats and maybe tweaking diets could help prevent this asthma type. Science is wild! #Health #Diet #AsthmaAwareness11Share
Lori Elliott+FollowWhy You Should Keep Windows Shut This SummerIf you or someone you know has asthma or COPD, leaving your windows open at night during summer could actually make things worse! Experts say pollen sneaks in and can trigger breathing problems, especially when it peaks from May to September. Instead, use extractor fans and keep them clean, hang laundry outside, and check pollen levels on your weather app. Keep those inhalers handy and maybe swap antihistamines for the drowsy-free kind. Who knew fresh air could be so risky? #AsthmaAwareness #PollenSeason #HealthTips #Health8212Share

Mr. Roy Ewing II+FollowBirth Control Pill Linked to Asthma Flares?Did you know the progestogen-only pill (POP) might up the risk of asthma attacks for some women? A new study found that women under 35, those with certain asthma types, or those using less corticosteroid had a higher chance of flare-ups on POP. The combined pill didn’t show this link. If you’ve got asthma and are choosing birth control, this could be a game-changer! #AsthmaAwareness #WomensHealth #BirthControl #HealthNews #WatercoolerMoment #Health10Share
Benjamin Jackson+FollowMini Pill & Asthma: What’s the Deal?Just read that the mini pill (progesterone-only birth control) might be linked to a higher risk of asthma attacks in women under 35 with asthma. The combined pill (with estrogen) didn’t show the same risk. The study’s not saying to ditch your pill yet, but it’s definitely something to keep in mind if you have asthma. More research is needed, but wow—did you know your birth control could affect your breathing? #AsthmaAwareness #BirthControl #HealthNews #MiniPill #WomensHealth #Health10Share
