@ElieJarrougeMD Human behaviour can be controlled by the environment. Only if we pave the way for more healthier food to be surrounded with, can this issue be addressed appropriately.

[Dr Sruthi Radhakrishnan @dr_nirvana_]

Postpartum depression — characterized by extreme sadness, anxiety or despair following childbirth — affects up to 1 in 5 women.

It is great to see it being acknowledged, but let us hope that emotional support is not overlooked.

Studies report that working in a garden
- lowers #anxiety and #depression,
- increases confidence and self-esteem and
- spending 30 minutes of gardening lowers levels of the stress hormone #cortisol.

UPF need to be regulated better.

It is difficult to stay away from them or not depend on them. But with consistency and a bit of an effort, we can still stick to a healthier diet.

[Chris Palmer, MD @ChrisPalmerMD]

Everything in moderation, right?

Well…

“Adding just a few ultraprocessed foods to a healthy diet raised risk of cognitive decline and stroke, study says”

Stop running after quick fixes!

New research says that drugs like Ozempic may cause a condition known as gastroparesis, so-called stomach paralysis.

The studies found that patients who take GLP-1 drugs were more likely to develop the condition.

Thanks to years of exposure to #diet culture, we have already read about which #foods have been socially labelled as “bad” and “good.”

But it’s really not that simple. Check out this table for #healthy alternatives for the UPFs you love.

The world does not need more of these #weightloss drugs.

Trojan horses end up destroying lives and a clear path to war.

So many studies have proven over and over again that diet and lifestyle are the only healthy solutions. Why are we still running after more "side effects"?

[Dr Sruthi Radhakrishnan @dr_nirvana_]

While cutting down #salt, are you being mindful of the insane amount in your

french fries, chips,
canned vegetables,
pickles,
sauerkraut,
ham, bacon or salted pork?

Packaged mixes,
frozen hash browns and Tater Tots?

Read-to-make pasta,
tomato sauces, salsa and other dip?

[World Health Organization (WHO) @WHO]

More than 1 teaspoon of salt per day can increase blood pressure, which is a leading risk factor for heart 🫀 disease & stroke.

An estimated 2.5 million deaths could be prevented per year if everyone lowers their salt 🧂 consumption to the recommended limit https://t.co/KEhAa0hy1d

@WHO @ResolveTSL @WHOAFRO @WHOEMRO @WHO_Europe @WHOWPRO @WHOSEARO @pahowho Do not forget the salt in your french fries, dips and sauces!!

[Dr Sruthi Radhakrishnan @dr_nirvana_]

@markiplier Please take care @markiplier . Do not forget to improve your diet to replenish your gut bacteria once your course is over.

[Dr Sruthi Radhakrishnan @dr_nirvana_]

Taking #antibiotics is like going to war with your #guthealth -- which means --

Get ready for a variety of illnesses starting from digestive issues like #indigestion, #acidreflux, and #IBS to #moodswings, #memoryloss, #chronicfatigue and even #skin problems.

[The New York Times @nytimes]

A reader asked: "I was prescribed a yearlong course of antibiotics to prevent recurrent urinary tract infections. Should I be worried about antimicrobial resistance?" https://t.co/aprtIvmOhZ

[Dr Sruthi Radhakrishnan @dr_nirvana_]

@nytimes And that is not all, it also kills the good bacteria we need in our gut which is responsible for more than 90% of our health.

[Dr Sruthi Radhakrishnan @dr_nirvana_]

This result, called #antimicrobialresistance, is responsible for more than 35,000 deaths in the United States annually.

So, the most important question to discuss with your doctor before taking an antibiotic is: Do I really need it?

[Dr Sruthi Radhakrishnan @dr_nirvana_]

#Antibiotics work by killing bacteria in your body.

However, some bacteria will survive and thrive, making future #infections more difficult to treat.

Sure, there are numerous studies on different drugs for diabetes management.

But why isn't anyone talking about prevention?

Why isn't anyone talking about the simplest way to reverse diabetes?

Why aren't we talking about what matters the most? -- Diet!
#diabetes #ozempic

[Dr Sruthi Radhakrishnan @dr_nirvana_]

At the end of the day, everything tapers down to a good home cooked meal and exercising.

But is it as simple as it sounds?

The ads, our surroundings, the people we interact with, everything has a huge role to make it less simple.

Keeping your blood sugar under control is paramount to preventing #Alzheimers.

Do this by dramatically reducing your intake of ultra-processed foods and carbohydrates and moving your body daily 🙌

[Dr Sruthi Radhakrishnan @dr_nirvana_]

@Gracie77777 @ElieJarrougeMD Himalayan salt is a very good alternative to the normal table salt. But everything must have a Limit. Balance is always key.

[Dr Sruthi Radhakrishnan @dr_nirvana_]

@ElieJarrougeMD It is about avoiding foods that are high in salt, sugar or meat. The answer is ultra-processed foods! Our motto must be SAY NO TO UPFs. Theat is the simplest way to put it!

[Dr Sruthi Radhakrishnan @dr_nirvana_]

The most dangerous thing that happened in the healthcare industry in the last 1 year.
