The deadliest part of a heatwave often isn't the heat. It's the lack of preparation before it arrives. An older adult living alone. A worker with no shade. A clinic not ready for a surge in patients. Most heat-related deaths are predictable. Many are preventable. That's why heat action plans matter. #ClimateHealth #HeatAction

Not all protein is created equal. 🥩🥚 Many people assume a serving of beans, nuts, eggs, or meat provides the same muscle-building value. But a Purdue University study found that equal “ounce-equivalent” servings of meat and eggs delivered substantially more essential amino acids into the bloodstream than black beans or almonds. The surprise? Foods that look equal on a nutrition chart may behave very differently in the body. Protein quantity matters. Protein quality matters too. #Nutrition #HealthyAging

Surviving breast cancer doesn't end the fear. The new fear is: "What if it comes back?" A new pill just cut that risk by 30%. No IV. No clinic. Just something you take at home. That's not a small update. That's life changing. #BreastCancer #Giredestrant

Most people have never heard of the New World screwworm. Maybe they should. This parasitic fly lays eggs in open wounds. The larvae hatch and begin feeding on living tissue, turning small injuries into painful, foul-smelling wounds that worsen within days. It's a reminder that infectious disease threats aren't always viruses or bacteria. Sometimes they're much more visible. And much harder to forget. Prevention is surprisingly simple: • Cover wounds • Keep flies away • Seek care immediately if you see maggots in a wound Public health works best when people know the risks before they become emergencies. #screwworm

Coconut husks are considered waste. In some SE Asian classrooms, they're now rooftop insulation — dropping indoor temps by up to 6°C. No electricity. No AC. Just smart use of what's already there. The solution to extreme heat isn't always imported tech. Sometimes it's what your farmers already throw away. #LocalInnovation #ClimateAdaptation

"What if it comes back?" Millions of women live with that question every day. This week, the answer got a little better. #cancer x.com/farhadali/status/20643…

The internet is full of arguments about salt. Sea salt vs table salt. Pink salt vs natural salt. Claims that sodium doesn't raise blood pressure. But most of that is noise. What matters isn't the color, origin, or marketing of your salt. What matters is how much sodium you're consuming. Decades of evidence show that reducing excess sodium lowers blood pressure, especially in people with hypertension. Don't get distracted by the salt. Focus on the sodium. #hypertension #Salt

Wish we could do that?
In 1985, the average Korean woman lived to 73. By 2030? Projected 90.8. 17 years gained. One generation. Here's what actually drove it: → Universal healthcare since the 1980s → Low obesity rates across the whole population → Lower blood pressure than most Western peers → Health gains spread equally — not just for the wealthy No miracle drug. No genetic luck. Just a system that decided everyone deserved to be healthy. Now ask yourself — does your country do any of these? If not, why not? #Longivity #Health

Who is paying more and for what?
A farmer's family has worked the same land for generations. Now he drills deeper for water. And still — nothing comes out. 82% of his region is already under serious water stress. Irrigation that cost $0.55 an hour now costs $0.73. Yields are down. Debt is up. His teenage son? Learning computer skills. Because his father quietly knows — farming may not survive. This is what climate collapse looks like before it makes headlines. Not a flood. Not a fire. Just a well. Running dry. This is happening across Asia right now. Is anyone in charge actually watching? #WaterCrisis #ClimateAsia

The difference between a deadly heatwave and a survivable one is often not temperature. It's urban design. Trees. Shade. Parks. Cool roofs. Walkable streets. Some cities are building resilience. Others are building heat traps. The health consequences will be measured in lives. #Heatwaves #Health

If climate change only threatened polar bears, it would be an environmental issue. But when it increases heat deaths, worsens asthma, threatens food security, and pushes hospitals beyond capacity—it becomes a public health emergency. Climate policy is health policy. #ClimateCrisis

This isn't just an animal health story. New World screwworm can infect humans too, particularly through untreated wounds. The bigger lesson is One Health: a parasite affecting livestock can quickly become a public health, food security, and economic issue. Prevention is almost always cheaper than eradication. @OneHealthPlanet @OneHealthUCD

This is what environmental collapse looks like when policy ignores physics. A sea doesn’t “vanish”. Rivers are diverted, systems lose efficiency, extraction outruns replenishment. The Aral Sea wasn’t a natural disaster. It was design. And it can happen again. #ClimateCrisis #ClimateActionFront #ClimateRefugees Source: NASA Scientific Visualization Studio

For most of human history, food was designed by nature. Today, much of what fills supermarket shelves is designed by algorithms, laboratories, and marketing teams. The question isn't why chronic disease is rising. The question is why we expected health outcomes to stay the same. #FoodFreedom #Food
