@cardioooo Remember what not to do: don't lick toads, buy aphrodisiacs from dudes on the street, or subsist on an all licorice diet.

And more coffee. Don't forget the coffee.

Because #biom4180 is all about life skills.

[Sarthak Kakar @cardioooo]

I hope we all apply some of the things that we tweeted about, not just now, but also in the future. Whether that is drinking hot cocoa, eating more fruits and veggies, getting more consistent sleep, or going for walks. Do whatever you need to do to keep your #heart healthy✌️

[Sarthak Kakar @cardioooo]

I would like to thank the #biom4180 class for sharing their tweets and Dr. @glenpyle for making it all happen. It was fun tweeting and reading interesting (and reputable) articles, and I like to think that I learned a thing or two along the way! Exams are fast approaching and

[SARVESH @SarveshBheekhun]

As #exams approach, it’s only natural to feel a bit #stressed but it’s also very important to know how to control it. Several studies have shown that people with psychological #stress are at an ↑↑ of 🫀#diseases.

@glenpyle @LaurenBIOM4180 I am glad that I set a good example for #biom4180

[Sarthak Kakar @cardioooo]

@glenpyle @LaurenBIOM4180 Oh I heard that all the cool kids are catching up on The Resident these days. We are all astounded by the medical accuracy of the show

Artificial sweeteners may actually do more harm than good. Studies have shown that they do not help with weight loss and may actually cause #hypertension and #CVD https://t.co/HAKZizOVdC #biom4180

An #apple a day keeps the doctor away... right?🍏

Well, it may help keep #heartdisease away.
It truly is the perfect afternoon snack: sweet, associated with decreased blood pressure, & crunchy.

Don't neglect this classic snack! #hearthealth #biom4180

Ever heard of the Atkins diet? Beware! Experts warn that women who follow it have a significantly increased risk for CVD due to low-carb but high-fat foods. There are healthier ways to lose weight without putting your #hearthealth at risk. #biom4180

[Sarthak Kakar @cardioooo]

Intermittent fasting has become extremely popular over the years and the role it plays in limiting risk factors for #CVD is very promising! It has been proven to lower rates of inflammation, as well as improve hypertension. https://t.co/tTyEz7mmoX #biom4180

Sleep 💤 apnea often leads to daytime sleepiness 😴 and reduced concentration. Worse, it also increases the risk of coronary 🫀 disease by 30% and 🫀 failure by 140%! When in doubt, get checked, because most cases of sleep apnea are undiagnosed! #biom4180

Beyond cardiology, I want to put an emphasis on not only spreading awareness, but promoting acceptance for those with #ASD during #AutismAcceptanceMonth and beyond. Lets spread kindness and patience to continue to make the world a better place for those with disabilities.

Our last day of #biom4180 happens to fall on #WorldAutismDay!
On the topic of #cardiology, one study had shown associations between congenital ❤ defects and austism, even when accounting for genetic syndromes. https://t.co/FiWDOKrYXQ

Eating a clean diet may be hard during the pandemic, but this is a friendly reminder to incorporate these items into your diet!

✅ fruits/veggies 🍓🥦
✅ whole grain 🌾
✅ LOTS of water 💧
❌ high processed foods 🍟

These changes can ⬇️ #stroke & #heartdisease🫀! #BIOM4180

[Alyssa Krueger @Alyssa_UoG]

As the semester nears its end, stress eat wisely!!! This article highlighted that those who consumed more than 25% of their daily calories in sugar were 2x as likely to die from #heartdisease! If you have a sweet tooth, reach for 🍎🫐🍓 instead! #biom4180

Blueberries🫐contain #anthocyanins, a subgroup of flavonoids linked to reducing CVD🫀risk factors by improving endothelial function, arterial stiffness and beneficial HDL cholesterol biomarkers.
Just 1 cup a day has these associated benefits!⬇️#biom4180

@hyperpandaxpres @_lyoung05 Oh I totally agree! Not only are they migrating, but the amount of blacklegged ticks actually getting infected with the bacterium is also increasing. People should use repellents, wear protective clothing, and know what to do in case of a bite: https://t.co/LXIaWc0IwQ

[SARVESH @SarveshBheekhun]

I love listening to 🎶 to relax and it seems I’m not the only one! These studies show how music can significantly ↓↓ blood pressure (#BP) and heart rate (#HR) in both young and older people.

#Lymedisease is very debilitating, and Lyme carditis can result if the bacteria reaches the🫀. Shortness of breath & chest pain are symptoms from tissue damage due to the host's immune cells reacting to the bacterium. Antibiotic treatments are effective in many cases💊 #biom4180
