Professor Pankaj Kapahi, a leading scientist at the Buck Institute for Research on Aging, highlights a crucial insight that could reshape diabetes research. It may not just be glucose, but the resulting Advanced Glycation End Products (AGEs) that cause the most harm. These compounds may accelerate aging and contribute to chronic diseases.

Navigating the Complex World of Autoimmune Diseases 🌿🔬 Autoimmune diseases represent a vast category of illnesses where the body, in confusion, turns against its own tissues. This internal battle leads to inflammation, tissue damage, and varying degrees of dysfunction throughout the body, impacting millions globally. Understanding these diseases is complex due to their diverse symptoms and the unique ways they affect individuals. From genetic predispositions to environmental triggers, the factors contributing to autoimmune conditions are as varied as the diseases themselves. Diagnosis is often challenging, requiring a careful blend of medical history review, laboratory tests, and more. While there's no cure yet, effective management through medication, lifestyle adjustments, and ongoing research offers hope. Take control of your health; learn more about how to manage and thrive despite autoimmune challenges. 🍃💪 #AutoimmuneAwareness #ChronicIllness #HealthManagement #WellnessJourney #HealthyLiving #livewitheasenotwithdisease #gadosustainablewellnes #sustainablehealthyliving

What exactly is health and what is disease? Health is when every cell in our body functions at its maximum, contributing to the optimal performance of tissues, organs, and systems. When heart cells beat efficiently, they ensure proper circulation for the brain, kidneys, and lungs. Disease occurs when cells can't function optimally, disrupting the harmony of our body's systems. Watch this video to understand how cellular health impacts your overall well-being and performance.

Sharing from the International Society of Nephrology: Kidney disease is one of the leading causes of death globally, but public awareness is low. Despite the high prevalence, public awareness of kidney disease is low. It is overlooked, undertreated, and under-resourced in public health policies, making it a dangerous, often silent killer. The WHO has recognized cancer, heart disease, stroke, chronic lung disease and diabetes as leading causes of premature mortality. Yet kidney disease, despite its significant impact, is absent from this list. With your help, we can make kidney disease a policy priority. Let’s urge global leaders to make kidney health a priority now! #kidneyhealthmatters #kidneysupportivecare

🔬 Blood Test Could Predict Lung Health Issues Ahead. 🫁 Scientists have identified 32 unique blood proteins that are associated with an increased risk of developing chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and other serious lung conditions. 🧬 The goal is for this blood test to detect individuals early in the disease process, enabling timely treatment that could reduce their risk of experiencing severe health outcomes. 🏥✨ #LungHealth #COPD #EarlyDetection #PreventiveCare #JohnsonChiropracticNeurology&Nutrition American Journal of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine, September 2024
