Kristi Key+FollowLiving by the Lake? Read This ASAPTurns out, living near lakes or coastlines with those nasty green algal blooms could actually up your risk of dying from ALS (Lou Gehrig’s Disease) sooner. Researchers found a specific toxin from these blooms in ALS patients’ brain and spinal fluid. If you’re swimming, boating, or even using well water near these blooms, you might be more at risk. Midwest folks, especially around Lake Erie, should really pay attention. Climate change and pollution are making these blooms worse every year! #ALS #HealthNews #LakeLife #Health #BodyHealth00Share
Jacqueline Howard DDS+FollowEar Wax Could Reveal Parkinson’s?Wild science alert: Researchers just found that your ear wax might help spot Parkinson’s disease early! Turns out, people with Parkinson’s have a unique, musky-smelling sebum (that’s the main ear wax ingredient). Scientists trained an AI “nose” to sniff out these differences and it nailed the diagnosis with 94% accuracy. This could mean cheaper, faster screening in the future. Who knew ear wax could be this important? #Parkinsons #HealthNews #ScienceFacts #Health #BodyHealth10Share
David Hernandez+FollowThat Extra Drink? It Might Cost More Than You ThinkJust saw a massive study linking alcohol—especially beer and spirits—to a higher risk of pancreatic cancer. Even a couple drinks a day can bump up your risk, and it doesn’t matter if you smoke or not. Women who have 1-2 drinks daily had a 12% higher risk, and for men, it jumps even more with heavier drinking. Pancreatic cancer is already super deadly, so this is definitely something to think about before that next round. #HealthNews #CancerAwareness #AlcoholFacts #Health #BodyHealth3329Share
Kristi Key+FollowWinter Viruses: The Heart Attack Trigger?Did you know catching the flu or COVID can actually spike your risk of a heart attack or stroke—like, by a lot? Researchers found that your risk can jump over 5x right after getting sick. It’s not just about sniffles; those viruses can act like a match on a pile of risk factors. If you’re older or have health issues, getting your flu or COVID shot could literally save your heart. Wild, right? #HealthNews #WinterWellness #HeartHealth #Health #BodyHealth104Share
David Hernandez+FollowBusy Social Life = Early Alzheimer’s Sign?Turns out, having an active social life in your 50s might not always be a good thing—at least according to a new study. Scientists found people with a higher genetic risk for Alzheimer’s were actually more social, not less! It could be their way of coping, or maybe friends and family are stepping in more. Either way, it’s a twist on what we thought about Alzheimer’s warning signs. Early diagnosis is still key, so keep an eye out for changes! #AlzheimersAwareness #BrainHealth #HealthNews #Health #BodyHealth160Share
Aaron Rodriguez+FollowIs Plastic Pollution Messing With Our Health?Wild new study alert: Coastal spots with tons of microplastics in the water also have higher rates of diabetes, heart disease, and stroke. Researchers think all those tiny plastic bits—yep, the ones from bottles, bags, and even our clothes—might be sneaking into our bodies through seafood, water, and even the air. The scary part? This link held up even after accounting for things like income and healthcare access. Time to rethink our plastic habits? #Microplastics #HealthNews #OceanPollution #Health #BodyHealth40Share
Lisa Ramirez+FollowMicroplastics Might Mess With Babies?!Wild new study alert: scientists found that microplastics can sneak into babies before they’re even born—and may mess with their gut, raising their risk for asthma. Yep, those tiny plastics are everywhere: in our food, water, even breast milk. Babies actually swallow 10x more than adults (thanks, plastic bottles). Researchers are scrambling for fixes, like egg whites that filter microplastics from water and new biodegradable plastics. Meanwhile, swapping single-use plastics for reusables is looking smarter than ever. Anyone else freaked out? #Microplastics #HealthNews #Parenting #Health #BodyHealth30Share
Ryan Lewis+FollowBlood Test Could Spot Cancer Years Early!Imagine finding out you have cancer up to three years before any symptoms show up—all from a simple blood test. Researchers just discovered that tiny DNA fragments from tumors can be detected way before a diagnosis, giving doctors a massive head start. While the tech isn’t perfect yet, it’s a huge leap toward catching cancer early and boosting survival rates. Fingers crossed for even more sensitive tests soon! #CancerResearch #EarlyDetection #HealthNews #Health #BodyHealth210Share
Annette Young+FollowWeight Loss Jabs: Real Life vs. HypeTurns out those viral weight-loss injections aren’t quite the miracle they seemed in clinical trials. A new study found people lost way less weight with semaglutide and tirzepatide in real life—mostly because many quit early (thanks to high costs, side effects, and insurance drama). Sticking with the meds and keeping a high dose helped, and women saw better results. Plus, tirzepatide users dropped more pounds than those on semaglutide. Real talk: these jabs work best if you can actually stick with them! #WeightLoss #HealthNews #Semaglutide #Fitness01Share
