Ditch the 'Let Them' Theory for This

You know the 'Let Them' theory—just let people do their thing and protect your peace. But therapist Jeffrey Meltzer says there’s an even better way: swap those “musts” and “shoulds” for strong preferences. Instead of demanding respect or fairness, prefer it, but don’t tie your happiness to it. It’s like 'Let Them,' but with more control over your own vibe. Who knew letting go could feel this empowering? #Health #MentalHealth #TherapyTips

Utah’s homeless community saves missing student

A missing autistic student in Utah survived 24 days on the streets thanks to the compassion of the local homeless community. August Beckwith, who is nonverbal and was in the midst of a severe mental health crisis, was kept warm and fed by people who had little to give but gave everything they could. His mother, Lori, shared her gratitude for the strangers who became family, saying their kindness kept her son alive. This story is a powerful reminder that compassion can come from the most unexpected places. How can we better support both vulnerable individuals and those who quietly help them? #Health #MentalHealth #Utah

Covid Vax Linked to Longer Life?!

Major plot twist: A massive study of 28 million French adults found that people who got at least one Covid shot were 25% less likely to die from any cause over four years compared to the unvaxxed. And get this—vaccinated folks had a 75% lower risk of dying in the hospital from Covid. Researchers think it’s partly because vaxxed people might have better access to healthcare, but the numbers are wild. Would this change your mind about the shot? #Health #BodyHealth #CovidVaccine

Flu Surge Has NHS Docs in Crisis Mode

NHS hospitals are packed and running out of rooms to isolate flu patients. Docs are treating more people in corridors because there just isn’t enough space, and it’s making infection control a nightmare. If you’ve got flu symptoms, the advice is to stay home, rest up, and use NHS 111 before heading to the ER. This winter’s flu wave is hitting hard—especially for the elderly and even some young people. Get your flu shot if you can! #Health #BodyHealth #NHS

Super Flu: Should We Freak Out?

Everyone’s talking about this so-called “super flu” overwhelming the NHS, but here’s the real deal: it’s a rough flu season, but not some new mutant virus. The flu just started early this year, and yes, it’s hitting kids and the elderly hardest. The best move? Get your flu shot (it’s not too late!), stay home if you’re sick, and don’t panic-buy test kits. The NHS is under pressure, but this isn’t the apocalypse—just classic winter drama. #Health #BodyHealth #FluSeason

A healthy child’s flu turned life upside down

A simple case of the flu changed everything for Sienna Dunion’s family. Their energetic four-year-old, who was just playing with her scooter, is now facing years of rehab after being diagnosed with a rare brain disease, ANE, triggered by the flu. She’s lost the ability to walk and talk, and her family is adjusting to a new reality overnight. It’s a powerful reminder that even healthy kids can face life-altering complications from common illnesses. How do we prepare for the unexpected, and what support should families like Sienna’s receive from the community? #Health #BodyHealth #CommunitySupport

Norovirus Is Wreaking Havoc RN

Winter’s not just about sniffles—norovirus is making a comeback and it’s brutal. We’re talking vomiting, diarrhea, and it spreads like wildfire (think: dirty hands, shared towels, even unwashed veggies). Hand sanitizer won’t save you—only good old soap and water will. If you get hit, stay home, hydrate, and watch for dehydration. And yes, you can still spread it even after you feel better. Ugh, just what we needed this season! #Health #BodyHealth #Norovirus
