Sleep isn’t just rest. It’s metabolic, neurological, and cardiovascular maintenance. Share this with your 'last seen at 2.00 AM' friend.
- Waking up to an alarm often means your body hasn’t fully recovered.
- Sleep debt doesn’t magically reset on weekends—it accumulates.
- Consistently getting under 7 hours raises long-term health and mortality risk.
- A regular sleep–wake cycle is one of the strongest foundations of longevity.

Constipation is one of those topics most people feel shy to talk about, but it’s one of the clearest signals from the body that your health needs attention. This December is - an opportunity to normalize speaking about it, to understand the signs, and take charge of our gut health.

The study, which examined how diet affected long-term digestive health, found that people who ate a Mediterranean or mostly plant-based diet were significantly less likely to develop chronic constipation. This benefit remained even when fibre intake was the same. Researchers suggest these diets support better gut function because they contain more whole foods, healthy fats, and nutrients that help digestion run smoothly. If you want to understand how your own gut is functioning, a gut test is a good place to start.

As we age, mitochondria can lose efficiency, raising stress and inflammation over time. Heart disease remains the world’s leading killer, yet much of the risk lies in our daily choices. 🫀

Walking is the simplest lever and is linked to better cardiovascular health. Start small by looping the block after coffee, taking your next call on foot, or parking a little farther. Let momentum do the heavy lifting. 

Share this with your walking buddy and step outside today. ☀️

Normal BP… but not a “normal” heart? 🫀 
As we age, arteries can lose their spring (arterial stiffness) even when the BP reading says ‘all good.’ That hidden strain raises cardiovascular risk—quietly. 
  
What people miss: 
 
✖ “Good numbers” can mask vascular ageing (stiff aorta, higher pulse pressure) 
✖ Midlife stress, sleep debt, high LDL, and glucose nudge stiffness along 
✖ Masked hypertension: okay in clinic, high at home/night 
 
So act like your arteries matter:  
 
✅ Make walking non-negotiable (20–30 min most days) 
✅ Put plants on every plate (fiber helps BP and lipids) 
✅ Guard your sleep window (same bedtime, treat snoring/sleep apnea) 
✅ Build a tiny stress ritual (5 calm breaths before meals or meetings) 
 
A normal BP is good — but it’s not the full story. Ageing arteries need care beyond the numbers.

You climb into the wooden toaster and wait to pop out younger. 😅 
Reality check: Finnish cohort studies (JAMA Network) link frequent sauna use to lower cardiovascular and all-cause mortality—correlation, not proof.
 
What likely helps: heat nudges your heart rate like light cardio, vessels relax, stress systems chill. Great habit, not a cure-all.
 
Share with your sauna buddy and save this for later.

Dementia & Alzheimer’s myths—can you spot them? 🧠 
Play the carousel, then check the answers + small steps you can consider today. 
 
 2) Hearing & Your Brain — Myth: C 
Even mild hearing loss increases listening effort and can shrink social connection. Consider scheduling a hearing evaluation. If you use hearing aids, aim for regular, all-day wear as advised by your audiologist.  
 
3) Sleep & Your Brain — Myth: B 
Regular timing supports memory; “catch-up” can’t fully reset body/brain clocks. Consider fixing a wake time and getting morning light. 
 
4) Vision & Your Brain — Myth: C 
Reading glasses help near focus; they don’t fix glare/contrast/depth. Consider an annual eye exam, update lenses, and add task lighting/contrast.  
 
5) Food & Your Brain — Myth: C 
Shift toward a mostly unprocessed, plant-forward pattern and fewer ultra-processed foods. Supplements, if needed to fill gaps—not replace food. 
  
Educational content, use this to guide conversations with your healthcare professional.
