🚨 Do You Know What’s Really in a V**e?

Many people assume va**ng is harmless — but lab testing tells a different story. When vapes are analyzed, they can contain high levels of ni****ne, toxic chemicals, heavy metals, and other substances that can irritate the lungs and impact heart and brain health.

Va**ng has been linked to:
• Lung irritation and breathing problems
• Increased heart rate and blood pressure
• Ni****ne addiction, especially in teens
• Unknown long-term health effects

What you don’t see on the label can still affect your body. Staying informed is the first step toward protecting your health.

Did you know not all chest pain feels the same — and some signs should never be ignored?

Chest discomfort that feels heavy, tight, crushing, or pressure-like is a major red flag. Pain that spreads to the arm, jaw, neck, back, or shoulder can signal something serious.

Be especially cautious if chest pain comes with shortness of breath, dizziness, nausea, sweating, or a sudden sense of anxiety or doom. These symptoms can appear suddenly or build gradually.

Chest pain that worsens with activity, doesn’t improve with rest, or wakes you from sleep should always be evaluated.

When it comes to chest pain, it’s better to be safe than sorry. Listening to your body and acting early can save lives.

🦠 Nipah Virus: What You Need to Know

Indian officials report that a recent Nipah virus outbreak has been contained after two confirmed cases in West Bengal. In response, several Asian countries have increased airport health screenings for travelers from India.

What is Nipah virus?
Nipah is a rare but serious viral illness that can cause fever, headache, breathing difficulties, and in severe cases, brain swelling (encephalitis). It spreads through contact with infected animals, contaminated food, or close contact with an infected person.

What you can do:
✔ Stay informed from trusted health sources
✔ Practice good hand hygiene
✔ Avoid contact with sick individuals if traveling
✔ Seek medical care if you develop symptoms after travel

Public health monitoring and early detection are key to preventing spread. 🩺

😂 What Each Generation Thinks About During CPR 💓

🧓 Boomers: “Steady pace. Do it right.”
🧑 Gen X: “Okay… focus. Don’t mess this up.”
🧑‍🦱 Millennials: “Why do I know the rhythm but not why I know it?”
🧒 Gen Z: “Is this the correct tempo… and why am I oddly confident?”

Funny moment aside — CPR needs a steady rhythm (100–120 compressions per minute), and knowing how to do it properly can save a life.

Laugh, learn, and be prepared. 🩺

⚠️ Did you know sudden weight gain can be a sign your body needs attention?

Rapid weight gain isn’t always about food or exercise. Sometimes your body is trying to signal something deeper.

Common causes include:
• Hormonal changes (like thyroid issues or menopause)
• Fluid retention from medications or certain conditions
• High stress levels affecting cortisol
• Shifts in metabolism or sleep patterns

If your weight increases quickly or without a clear reason, don’t brush it off. Early evaluation helps you understand why it’s happening and prevents bigger health concerns down the road.

✨ Listen to your body — small check-ins today can make a big difference tomorrow.

🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 Patient Review Spotlight

“Dr. Anari is probably the best doctor I have ever met. He took his time in talking to me about my issues. I live on the mountain and work in downtown LA so seeing a good doctor is important to me. I have designated Dr. Anari as my primary care physician and will have all of my information sent to him for proper care. What sets Dr. Anari aside from other doctor’s is his ability to be down to earth. I feel so grateful to have Dr. Anari agree to becoming my primary care doctor. It’s not easy have doctor’s in LA while living on the mountain. Thank you Dr. Anari for being human!” 💙

Thank you for trusting us with your care!

📱 Did you know too much screen time can quietly affect your health?

Long hours on phones, computers, and tablets can cause eye strain, headaches, poor posture, disrupted sleep, and ongoing fatigue. Blue light exposure—especially in the evening—can interfere with your natural sleep cycle, making it harder to rest.

Excessive screen time may also increase stress and reduce physical activity, which impacts overall health.

💡 Tips for healthy screen habits:
•⁠ ⁠Take regular breaks
•⁠ ⁠Limit screen use before bed
•⁠ ⁠Move your body throughout the day
•⁠ ⁠Set boundaries with devices

Balance is key — protecting your health starts with mindful screen use. 🩺
