Chris Lyons+FollowNew Covid Variant Hits with Stomach IssuesA new Covid variant, NB.1.8.1, is making waves—not just with the usual cough and fever, but with some seriously weird stomach problems. Think nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and even heartburn. It’s spreading fast in Ireland and popping up everywhere from the UK to Australia. If you’re feeling bloated or have random tummy troubles, it might not just be something you ate. Health officials say: stay home for 2 days if you feel off! #CovidUpdate #HealthNews #StaySafe #Health373119Share
Ryan Lewis+FollowDementia Risk Map: Where Do You Stand?Turns out, your risk of dementia might have a lot to do with your zip code. A huge study of over a million U.S. veterans found dementia rates are way higher in the Southeast, Northwest, and Rocky Mountain regions compared to the Mid-Atlantic. Even after accounting for age and health, where you live still matters. Researchers think things like education, environment, and access to care could be the reason. Wild, right? #DementiaAwareness #HealthNews #BrainHealth #Health10Share
rachel60+FollowWould You Take a Poo Pill?Freeze-dried 'poo pills' are the latest wild medical breakthrough in the UK! Doctors are testing capsules filled with healthy donor poop to fight off superbugs that antibiotics can’t touch. Early results? The good bacteria from the pills are taking over patients’ guts and kicking out the bad guys. If this keeps working, popping a 'crapsule' could be the future of medicine—maybe even replacing antibiotics one day. Would you try it? #HealthNews #MedicalBreakthrough #GutHealth #Health11Share
Sarah Bennett+FollowMidwife Booted for Wild Vaccine ClaimsA midwife in Northern Ireland just got struck off after spreading wild claims on social media that vaccines 'attack babies in the womb' and telling a pregnant woman not to wear a mask or get a flu shot. The Nursing and Midwifery Council said her posts and advice put people at risk and could seriously damage trust in the profession—especially during the pandemic. She doubled down on her views and didn’t show any remorse, so now she’s officially out. #healthnews #midwifery #covid19 #Health71Share
Kristi Key+FollowWait, Is Your Lunch Raising Cancer Risk?Turns out, some everyday foods hiding in our kitchens could be upping our colon cancer risk—especially for younger folks. Scientists tracked over 1,600 patients and found those eating lots of pro-inflammatory foods (think: white bread, bacon, sugary drinks) had a way higher risk of dying from colon cancer. But swapping in more fruits, veggies, whole grains, and lean proteins can seriously lower that risk. Looks like what’s on your plate really matters! #HealthNews #CancerAwareness #EatSmart #Health20Share
hhill+FollowFasting Fad: What Really Happens?Water-only fasting is all over social media, but a new study says it’s not as magical as it sounds. Sure, people lost weight (about 7.7% in 10 days!), but they also got headaches, insomnia, and low blood pressure. Even wilder: fasting actually increased inflammation, which could be risky for your heart. The takeaway? Fasting isn’t a one-size-fits-all fix, and you should definitely talk to a doctor before trying it. The science is still out, but this trend might not be worth the hype! #FastingFacts #HealthNews #Wellness #Health80Share
Mr. Thomas Martin MD+FollowWeight-Loss Jabs: The Lifelong CatchWeight-loss injections like Wegovy and Mounjaro might sound like a quick fix, but experts say you’ll probably need to stay on them for life to keep the weight off. People who stop often gain it all back—sometimes even faster! Plus, these jabs aren’t a magic bullet; you still need to eat better and move more. And watch out: buying them online can be risky. The real tea? It’s a marathon, not a sprint! #WeightLoss #HealthNews #Wellness #Health00Share
Joseph Bradley+FollowCould This Be a Diabetes Game-Changer?Scientists just found a cellular ‘switch’ that might actually reverse type 2 diabetes! Basically, when your cells get stressed, they mess up insulin production, but researchers discovered a way to stop that stress response in mice—and their blood sugar improved big time. If this works in humans, it could mean less relying on just managing symptoms and more actually fixing the root problem. Imagine a future where diabetes is way easier to handle! #DiabetesBreakthrough #HealthNews #ScienceWin #Health5916Share
Melinda Gutierrez+FollowMidwife Booted for Wild Vaccine ClaimsA midwife in Northern Ireland just got struck off after posting on social media that vaccines 'attack babies' in the womb and telling a pregnant woman not to wear a mask during Covid. The Nursing and Midwifery Council said her posts and unsolicited advice put people at risk and seriously undermined trust in the profession. She doubled down on her views, showed zero remorse, and now she's out of a job. Wild times in healthcare! #healthnews #midwifery #covid19 #Health00Share
kingabigail+FollowTHC:CBD Spray for Alzheimer’s Agitation?A new UK trial just found that a THC:CBD oral spray (yep, cannabis!) could be a safe and doable way to help calm agitation in people with advanced Alzheimer’s. No one dropped out, everyone stuck to the treatment, and there were zero bad reactions. It’s not a cure, but this could be a game-changer for families dealing with tough symptoms. More research is needed, but this is a big step! #Alzheimers #CannabisResearch #HealthNews #Health152Share
