Covid Might Be Aging Women’s Arteries

Did you know Covid-19 could make women’s arteries act years older—even months after recovery? A huge international study found women who had Covid showed stiffer arteries, especially if their illness was severe. In some cases, it’s like adding 5-8 years of wear and tear! Men didn’t show the same effect. The good news? Some of this may reverse over time, and getting vaccinated might help. If you’ve had Covid and feel off, maybe ask your doc about a vascular checkup! #Health #BodyHealth #Covid19

Pediatricians vs. RFK Jr. on Kids’ COVID Shots

The AAP insists the youngest are most at risk for severe COVID, but the feds say parents and doctors should decide together. Now there’s a big split on what’s best for our littlest ones—and who should pay for it if insurance won’t cover. #Health #BodyHealth #COVID19
