margaret39+FollowMediterranean Diet = RA Risk Buster?Did you know eating like you’re on a Greek island could actually help protect your joints? A huge new study found that people who stick to the Mediterranean diet—think lots of veggies, legumes, and olive oil—had up to a 29% lower risk of developing rheumatoid arthritis. Legumes and olive oil were the real MVPs. There’s no cure for RA, but this anti-inflammatory eating style might just be your secret weapon for keeping those aches at bay! #MediterraneanDiet #RheumatoidArthritis #AntiInflammatory #HealthNews #Wellness20Share
lindsay35+FollowVitamin D Might Be the Real Age-DefierTurns out, popping a daily vitamin D could actually slow down ageing! A new study found that people who took vitamin D for four years basically dodged three years’ worth of ageing, thanks to less telomere shortening (those are like the plastic tips on your DNA shoelaces). That means fewer 'angry old' cells causing chaos in your body. Who knew your morning supplement could be a secret weapon against getting old? #VitaminD #AntiAging #HealthNews #ScienceFacts #Health10713Share
mfigueroa+FollowSSRIs: Miracle Meds or Overhyped Mystery?Antidepressants like SSRIs have been hailed as lifesavers, but a major study that shaped how we see them may have doubled their success rates. Turns out, the science behind these meds is way messier than we thought—no one even agrees on how they really work! Some say they’re overprescribed, others swear by them, and now the debate is heating up again. Bottom line: If you’re on these meds, ask questions and know the risks AND benefits. Wild, right? #MentalHealth #Antidepressants #SSRIs #ScienceDebate #HealthNews #Health10Share
Barry Miller+FollowFDA’s COVID Vax Shake-Up: Only for High-Risk?Big news: The FDA just changed the COVID vaccine game! Now, only folks 65+ or those at high risk are getting the official vax recommendation. No more annual shots for everyone—healthy kids and adults under 65 are off the list unless new trials prove it’s worth it. The move follows super low booster rates and puts the US in line with other countries. Some are worried this could fuel more vaccine hesitancy. What do you think about this switch? #COVID19 #FDA #VaccineUpdate #HealthNews #PublicHealth #Health30Share
Spencer Brewer+FollowCOVID Vax Rules Are Getting a Shake-UpBig changes are coming for COVID-19 vaccines! The FDA wants annual boosters for healthy people under 65 to go through clinical trials first, which means most folks might not get a shot this fall unless they’re older or at higher risk. Plus, Pfizer and Moderna are being told to add warning labels about rare heart inflammation in young men. The science is still evolving, so stay tuned if you’re wondering about your next dose! #COVID19 #VaccineUpdate #FDA #HealthNews #Health141Share
Alicia Williams+FollowVitamin D3: The Anti-Ageing Secret?Apparently, popping a daily vitamin D3 could actually slow down your biological ageing—like, by three years! A new study tracked people over five years and found that vitamin D3 supplements helped protect those tiny DNA caps (telomeres) that keep our cells young. Omega 3s didn’t do much, but vitamin D3 really stood out. It’s not a magic pill, but it might be the closest thing we’ve got to hitting pause on ageing. Who knew your daily supplement could be this powerful? #VitaminD3 #AntiAging #Longevity #HealthNews #Wellness #Health30Share
Lisa Thompson+FollowIce Cream That Won’t Melt? How horrible!Ever noticed your ice cream barely melts these days? Turns out, it’s not magic—it’s emulsifiers like polysorbate 80 keeping those scoops solid. But here’s the wild part: new research says these chemicals might mess with your gut and even trigger inflammation. Some people with gut issues swear ditching emulsifiers changed their lives, but the science is still murky. Next time you grab a pint, check the label—your stomach might thank you! #FoodScience #GutHealth #IceCream #FoodAdditives #HealthNews #Health00Share

Ryan Lewis+FollowHIV Meds Linked to Lower Alzheimer’s Risk?!Wild science update: People taking certain HIV meds (NRTIs) were way less likely to get Alzheimer’s, according to a huge study. These drugs seem to block brain inflammation that’s tied to Alzheimer’s. Not all HIV meds had this effect—just the NRTIs. Imagine if a treatment for one disease could help protect your brain from another! Researchers are buzzing about what this could mean for future Alzheimer’s prevention. #Alzheimers #HIVResearch #HealthNews #BrainHealth #MedicalBreakthrough #Health20Share
john24+FollowOTC UTI Med Linked to Cancer?Did you know that phenazopyridine, the pain reliever in popular UTI meds like Azo and Uristat, is now being linked to cancer? It’s been around forever and you can grab it off the shelf, but reports say it might mask serious infections and, in high doses, could even be dangerous. Plus, animal studies suggest it could cause tumors. Wild that something so common isn’t even available OTC in Canada or Europe! #HealthNews #OTCdrugs #CancerRisk #UTIawareness #DidYouKnow #Health3920Share
