wilsonjames+FollowTyphoid Is Outsmarting Our MedsTyphoid fever is making a scary comeback—it's now resistant to almost every antibiotic we have. The last reliable pill, azithromycin, is starting to fail in some places, and when that happens, only expensive hospital treatments will work. Vaccines are helping, but the real fix is clean water and better sanitation. Wild to think a disease we thought was beat is now running circles around modern medicine! #TyphoidFever #AntibioticResistance #HealthNews #Health #BodyHealth50Share
wilsonjames+FollowHeart Attacks Down, But These Risks Are Up!Wild stat: heart attack deaths have dropped by almost 90% in the last 50 years!

Docs say it’s linked to more obesity, diabetes, and high blood pressure. Basically, we’re surviving heart attacks, but new heart problems are taking over. Prevention is the new game—think healthy eating, moving more, and keeping those numbers in check! #HeartHealth #Wellness #HealthNews #Health #BodyHealth50Share

It’s still early days, but this could mean a super simple, non-invasive test for early detection. Wild, right? #Parkinsons #HealthNews #MedicalBreakthrough #Health #BodyHealth6918Share
xwest+FollowDiet Coke’s Dark Side? Shocking New RisksJust when you thought Diet Coke was the ‘healthier’ soda, new research says otherwise.

One study even links a single diet soda to irregular heartbeat! Experts say ditching Diet Coke for kombucha or sparkling water with lemon is way better for your health—and the planet.
