Supplements That Can Mess With Your Hormones

Did you know some popular supplements could actually make menopause symptoms worse? Docs say things like Vitamin D, black cohosh, ginseng, hormone-balancing blends, and even iodine can throw your hormones out of whack if you’re not careful—especially for women over 40. Turns out, more isn’t always better, and those “miracle” blends might just be hype. Always check with your doc before adding new supplements! #Health #BodyHealth #Menopause

Canned Tuna Recall: Check Your Pantry!

Tuna lovers, double-check your shelves! Some Genova Yellowfin Tuna cans that were supposed to be recalled due to a risk of deadly botulism were accidentally shipped to stores in nine states. If you bought Genova Yellowfin Tuna in Olive Oil (5 oz, 4-pack) or in Extra Virgin Olive Oil with Sea Salt, check those best-by dates (Jan 2028) and UPCs. If it looks or smells off, toss it or return for a refund. Don’t risk it! #Health #BodyHealth #TunaRecall

Bowel Cancer Screening Just Got Smarter

Big news: NHS England is making it easier to catch bowel cancer early by lowering the threshold for its home stool test kits. This means more people will get checked, more cancers will be found before symptoms even show up, and hundreds of lives could be saved every year. If you get a kit in the mail, don’t ignore it—doing this simple test could literally be a lifesaver! #Health #BodyHealth #NHS

Cracking Her Neck Led to a Stroke?!

You know that satisfying neck crack after a long day? For KayLynne Felthager, it turned into a total nightmare. She stretched her neck to relieve a headache and ended up having a stroke days later—her vision went out, her body went numb, and she literally couldn’t speak. Turns out, cracking your neck (even without your hands!) can cause an artery dissection and a stroke. She’s fine now, but says she’ll never crack her neck again. Who else is rethinking their habits right now? #Health #BodyHealth #HealthWarning

Nipah Virus Outbreak Hits India—What’s Happening?

Two nurses in West Bengal, India, have been infected with the deadly Nipah virus—one is now in a coma. Health officials believe they caught it from a patient with severe respiratory symptoms. Over 180 people have been tested, and 20 high-risk contacts are in quarantine. Authorities are even testing bats at the local zoo to find the source. There’s no cure or vaccine for Nipah, so everyone’s on high alert, but officials say there’s no need to panic yet. #Health #BodyHealth #NipahVirus

Colon Cancer Is Hitting Young Adults Hard

Colon cancer isn’t just an “older person” thing anymore—it's now the #1 cancer killer for people under 50 in the U.S. Researchers say rates are climbing every year, and lifestyle choices like junk food, less exercise, and obesity might be to blame. The wild part? Experts thought this wouldn’t happen until 2030. If you’re 45 or older (or have symptoms), it’s time to get screened. Don’t wait! #Health #BodyHealth #coloncancer

Arthritis Meds That Actually Work

Anyone else feel like their joints turn into creaky doors when it gets cold? Turns out, the best meds for arthritis aren’t always what you think. Docs say NSAIDs like Advil or Aleve are the go-to for osteoarthritis, but using the lowest dose for the shortest time is key to avoiding nasty side effects. For rheumatoid arthritis, methotrexate is the gold standard, but you’ve gotta watch for immune issues. Always ask your doc about safer options like topical gels! #Health #BodyHealth #ArthritisRelief

Health Care Jobs Are Hitting Pause

Health care hiring isn’t the sure thing it used to be. After a post-pandemic hiring spree, hospitals and clinics are slowing down on new jobs—thanks to federal budget cuts, rising costs, and AI automation. Even roles like nurses and physical therapists aren’t immune. Some hospitals are laying off staff, and new grads might think twice about pricey degrees. With the demand for care still high, will this slowdown make it even harder to get an appointment? #Health #BodyHealth #HealthcareJobs
