How To Spot Misinformation on Social Media

Have you been hearing the term ultra-processed foods lately and wondering what it means?

Ultra-processed foods usually contain five or more ingredients, including additives like flavorings, sweeteners and preservatives. These are things you won’t commonly find in your kitchen.

Examples include chips, prepackaged snacks, soda, frozen pizza, sugary cereals and hot dogs.

While they’re convenient and affordable, they’re often designed to be palatable, which can lead to overeating.

The good news is you don’t have to completely cut them out to have a balanced, healthy diet. Not all ultra-processed foods are considered unhealthy.

The key is to focus on balance and moderation by adding more whole foods and cutting back on packaged snacks when you can.

According to the American Cancer Society, colon cancer diagnoses in people younger than 55 have doubled since 1995. It’s now the leading cause of cancer-related death among men ages 20-49 in the U.S.

While there’s no single cause, the National Cancer Institute points to possible risk factors such as:

• High-fat, low-fiber diets
• Overweight and obesity
• Changes in the gut microbiome that lead to inflammation
• Sedentary lifestyles

Many young adults don’t think they’re at risk, but knowing the warning signs matters. Watch for:

• Changes in bowel habits
• Blood in your stool
• Re**al bleeding or abdominal pain
• Unexplained weight loss
• Ongoing weakness or fatigue

If something feels off, don’t ignore it and talk with your healthcare provider.

It’s National Condom Week!

While they can feel like an uncomfortable topic, condoms play a key role in protecting against unplanned pregnancies and s*xually transmitted infections (STIs). Many STIs don’t show signs or symptoms, so testing is the only way to know your status.

Condoms are affordable, easy to use and widely available. Protecting your health, and your partner’s, helps ensure a safer, healthier and more confident s*x life.

Social media is a great way to stay connected and learn new things, but too much time on apps can increase stress and anxiety, disrupt sleep and leave you feeling mentally drained.

These platforms are designed to keep you engaged, so one quick notification can easily turn into far more scrolling than you planned.

Over time, that extra screen time can quietly replace rest, movements and real-world connections.

Taking a break doesn’t mean quitting social media altogether. Small, intentional changes to when and how long you scroll can make a big difference in how you feel.

Thinking about resetting your scroll habits? Monday is a great time to start.

Black History Month is a time to honor resilience, contributions and progress and to acknowledge ongoing health disparities that impact Black individuals and families.

Certain conditions, including high blood pressure, diabetes, kidney disease, asthma, maternal health complications and some cancers, affect Black communities at higher rates or with more severe outcomes.

These differences are largely driven by long-standing inequities in access to care, environmental conditions, chronic stress and delayed diagnosis.

By increasing awareness, supporting early screening and strengthening relationships built on trust, we can work together toward better health outcomes during Black History Month and throughout the year.

Today, while we celebrate Valentine’s Day, we’re also celebrating 𝗡𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗗𝗼𝗻𝗼𝗿 𝗗𝗮𝘆! ❤️

National Donor Day is a time to recognize the life-saving power of organ, eye and tissue donation.

Did you know one donor can save and heal more than 75 lives? Yet more than 100,000 people are currently waiting for a lifesaving transplant, and there aren’t enough registered donors to meet the need.

Becoming a donor is a personal decision, but it has the power to make a life-changing impact for someone else.

Give the gift of life. Register to be a donor today: https://registerme.org/?_gl=1*7ik07w*_ga*ODEzODU0NzA0LjE3NzA4MjczOTQ.*_ga_S387VZ1N1T*czE3NzA4MzQ5ODgkbzMkZzEkdDE3NzA4MzUxMTEkajI2JGwwJGgw

Have you ever had your blood pressure checked and wondered what those numbers mean?

Your blood pressure reading shows how hard your blood is pushing against your artery walls at two key moments — when your heart is pumping out blood and when it’s at rest.

The top/first number (𝘀𝘆𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗹𝗶𝗰) is the pressure when your heart beats and pushes blood out.

The bottom/second number (𝗱𝗶𝗮𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗹𝗶𝗰) is the pressure when your heart rests between beats.

Here’s a quick guide to the ranges:

• 𝗟𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝗻 𝟭𝟮𝟬 / 𝗹𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝗻 𝟴𝟬 = Normal
• 𝟭𝟮𝟬-𝟭𝟮𝟵 / 𝗹𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝗻 𝟴𝟬 = Elevated
• 𝟭𝟯𝟬-𝟭𝟯𝟵 / 𝟴𝟬-𝟴𝟵 = Stage 1 Hypertension
• 𝟭𝟰𝟬+ / 𝟵𝟬+ = Stage 2 Hypertension
• 𝟭𝟴𝟬+ / 𝟭𝟮𝟬+ = Hypertension Urgency or Emergency
