Acha, so our ethnicity even affects the way our heart pumps less well. Ethnicity is important. Without research into how disease affects us differently, we can’t treat with nuance! More awareness -> more research -> more understanding -> less disparities

Acha, so chocolate could actually be good for us?? Well, research shows that dark chocolate is associated with a lower risk of developing T2DM. Is this because people who eat dark chocolate are healthier anyway? Good FOOD for thought 👀

Acha so our friends could actually be good for us?
The MASALA study looked into why South Asians have and eventually die from heart disease. A positive to take from it is the protective factor a strong community has, remembering to be mindful of what is done and ate with them 👀

🫁 Acha, so cardiologists should probably learn a bit about inhalers and respiratory doctors should start primary prevention. A reminder to have a holistic approach to health! Body systems interact so look after your lungs to look after your heart!! 🫁
