shermandarlene+FollowNighttime Heart Attacks Are Weirdly SaferWild science update: heart attacks at night actually do less damage than ones during the day! Turns out, our immune cells (neutrophils) are way more chill at night, so they don’t go overboard and hurt the heart more. Researchers even found a way to put these cells in 'night mode' with a drug, reducing heart damage in mice. Imagine if this could work for people—game changer for heart attack treatment! #Health #BodyHealth #HeartHealth00Share

New research found that even two days before their heart attack, 45% of patients would’ve been labeled low or borderline risk. Kinda wild, right? Docs say we need more personalized ways to spot heart disease early—because not having symptoms or a high score doesn’t mean you’re in the clear. #Health #BodyHealth #HeartHealth10Share

Better safe than sorry! #Health #BodyHealth #HeartHealth10Share
Jacqueline Howard DDS+FollowSnow Shoveling: Hidden Heart Dangers?Shoveling snow isn’t just a winter chore—it could be a heart hazard, especially if you’re over 45 or have health risks like high blood pressure or a sedentary lifestyle. Experts say just 10 minutes of heavy shoveling can push your heart to its max, and cold air makes it even riskier. If you’re not super active, maybe let someone else handle the snow, or at least take it slow and watch for warning signs like chest pain or shortness of breath. Better safe than sorry! #Health #BodyHealth #HeartHealth00Share
Lisa Ramirez+FollowAre You Missing This Heart-Healthy Nutrient?Turns out, 76% of us aren’t getting enough omega-3s, and it could be putting our hearts (and brains!) at risk. The best sources?
