Ever think about your kidneys? Probably not, but theyโ€™re working 24/7 to keep you feeling your best!

Hereโ€™s what your kidneys do for your overall health:
๐Ÿฉธ Filters your blood โ€” removing waste + extra fluid
โš–๏ธ Balances minerals โ€” like sodium & potassium to keep your muscles and nerves working
๐Ÿ’ง Controls hydration โ€” deciding what to keep and what to flush
โค๏ธ Regulates blood pressure โ€” yes, your kidneys help with that too
๐Ÿชซ Boosts energy โ€” by helping make red blood cells
๐Ÿ›ก๏ธ Supports bone health โ€” by activating vitamin D

Help your kidneys by drinking water, staying active, and not overdoing it on salty foods๏ธโ€. Your body and your kidneys will thank you.

If you havenโ€™t considered getting the HPV vaccine, here are some reasons why you should talk to your doctor about getting it.

Human papillomavirus (HPV) is super common. Most people will get it at some point, even if they donโ€™t realize it. The HPV vaccine is an easy way to protect yourself from the strains that can lead to cervical, throat, and other cancers later in life.

โœจ Why students should get it:

โœ”๏ธ It prevents over 90% of HPVโ€‘related cancers
โœ”๏ธ Works best when you get it at a younger age
โœ”๏ธ Safe, effective, and longโ€‘lasting
โœ”๏ธ Helps protect your partners and community too

The Student Health Center offers the HPV vaccine, so book an appointment here!

Youโ€™ve probably heard the old saying that a glass of red wine a day is good for your healthโ€ฆ but current research says otherwise.

โœจ Hereโ€™s the truth:
Recent studies show no clear evidence that red wine protects your heart or reduces cancer risk, despite its antioxidant content.

โค๏ธ Bottom line:
Wine isnโ€™t a health food. If you drink, keep it moderate and know the risks. If you donโ€™t, youโ€™re not missing out on any health perks.
