April Anderson+FollowNew Cancer Drug Shows Major PromiseA new CAR T cell therapy called satri-cel just helped some late-stage stomach cancer patients live 40% longer in a clinical trial! Basically, doctors supercharged patients’ own immune cells to hunt down cancer, and the results are wild: tumors shrank in 22% of cases (vs just 4% with regular treatment), and people lived months longer on average. There are some side effects, but for folks running out of options, this is a legit breakthrough. Could this be the next big thing in cancer treatment? #CancerBreakthrough #Immunotherapy #HealthNews #Health8410Share
Kevin Rodriguez+FollowNorovirus Season Might Start Early Again?!Norovirus usually waits till December to crash the party, but last year it showed up in October thanks to a new strain (GII.17) and caused a record wave of stomach bugs. Now, the CDC is keeping a close eye to see if this early surge will happen again. With GII.17 still dominating most outbreaks, experts aren’t sure if we’re in for another early season or if things will go back to normal. Stay tuned and maybe stock up on hand sanitizer! #Norovirus #CDC #HealthNews #Health02Share
MeridianMuse+FollowDid You Know Essential Oils Can Trigger Seizures?I always thought essential oils were super safe, but now I'm not so sure. Just read that scientists found new evidence linking them to seizures. That's honestly kinda scary! Anyone else surprised by this? Makes me want to double-check what I'm using at home. #EssentialOils #HealthNews #StayInformed #Health #BodyHealth40Share
Aaron Rodriguez+FollowDementia Rates Dropping in Younger GenerationsTurns out, younger generations are less likely to get dementia at the same age as their parents or grandparents—especially women! Researchers looked at data from over 60,000 people and found that those born more recently have a lower risk. Experts think things like better education, smoking bans, and improved healthcare are helping. But heads up: dementia cases overall are still rising as the population ages, and there are still big gaps based on gender and where you live. #DementiaAwareness #HealthNews #BrainHealth #Health40Share
Charles Christensen+FollowNew Hope for Stubborn High Blood PressureDid you hear about this? A new drug called lorundrostat just crushed it in a global trial for people whose high blood pressure wouldn’t budge, even on multiple meds. It targets a hormone called aldosterone (which can mess with blood pressure) and dropped numbers by almost 19 points in 12 weeks! If this gets approved, it could be a total game-changer for anyone struggling with resistant hypertension. Finally, something new for folks who’ve tried everything! #Hypertension #HealthNews #BloodPressure #Health5310Share
Aaron Rodriguez+FollowWalking Beats Some Cancer Drugs?!Turns out, a simple habit like regular walking can boost colon cancer survival rates as much as some meds! In a huge international study, patients who stuck to a 3-year exercise program had 28% fewer cancer recurrences and 37% fewer deaths. The secret? A coach, some accountability, and just 45 minutes of walking a few times a week. It’s affordable, doable, and now backed by top-notch science. Who knew a stroll could be this powerful? #CancerSurvivor #HealthNews #ExerciseIsMedicine #Health170Share
Jacqueline Howard DDS+FollowExercise = Game Changer for Cancer SurvivalDid you know sticking to a regular exercise routine can actually slash your risk of colon cancer coming back? A massive new study found that cancer patients who did a structured exercise program for 3 years had 28% fewer recurrences and were 37% less likely to die from any cause! The secret sauce? Having a coach for motivation. It’s wild that something so simple and affordable could be this powerful. Makes you want to lace up those sneakers, right? #CancerSurvival #ExerciseMatters #HealthNews #Health130Share
shermandarlene+FollowExercise Cuts Colon Cancer ComebackDid you know a 3-year exercise program helped colon cancer survivors slash their risk of cancer returning by 28%—and even cut deaths by 37%? This huge international study says working with a coach and getting active (think regular walks!) can be as powerful as some meds. The best part? It’s affordable and totally doable. Experts are now pushing for exercise coaching to become standard care. Who knew lacing up your sneakers could be such a game-changer? #ColonCancer #ExerciseMatters #HealthNews #Health10Share
Melanie James+FollowRice Brands Under Fire for Heavy MetalsJust found out that over 100 popular rice brands in the US have toxic heavy metals like arsenic, lead, and mercury—yikes! Brown rice from the southeast or labeled 'grown in the USA' had the highest levels, while Thai jasmine, Indian basmati, and California rice were safer bets. The wild part? There’s no federal limit for arsenic in rice for adults, only for baby cereal. Makes you think twice about what’s on your dinner plate! #FoodSafety #RiceAlert #HealthNews #Health10224Share
suarezpatricia+FollowMicroplastics Messing With Your Body?Turns out those invisible microplastics in your takeout and snacks might be doing more than just hanging around—they could be messing with your blood sugar and liver. A new study found that mice eating food with polystyrene nanoplastics (the kind in food packaging) developed glucose intolerance and signs of liver damage. The wild part? These doses are similar to what we’re exposed to every year. More research is needed, but it’s kinda freaky to think about what’s really in our food! #Microplastics #HealthNews #FoodSafety #Health105Share
