Many mentioned the skin as 1 of their 5 organs
Some mentioned the gut (intestine/bowel)
There’s another organ that bridges the skin and gut, which nobody has mentioned …

Each #SARSCoV2 infection increases your long term health risks #COVID
Reinfections increase your risk of #LongCovid and moving forward the Tories are no longer offering vaccines to most of the population, including a lot of clinically vulnerable.

Cardiovascular disease is one of the most prevalent diseases in the developed world.
One of the scariest things about #heartdisease is that it is often a silent killer, with few to no outward symptoms.

As one of my medical school professors liked to point out, the most common "presentation" of the disease is a sudden, fatal heart attack. You know the patient has heart disease because he has just died from it.

And while mortality rates from those first, surprise heart attacks have dropped significantly thanks to improvements in basic cardiac life support and time-sensitive interventions, such attacks are still fatal roughly 1/3 of the time.

1| "Innovation is everywhere. No matter where you look, every industry is looking at ways to do things more efficiently and be more sustainable...however, innovation is not just about the latest new digital technology.
2| We all know that food is integrally involved with health—thus the phrase ‘we are what we eat.’ Diet is a leading contributor to major cardiovascular disease risk factors like obesity, high cholesterol, diabetes, and hypertension, as well as cardiovascular disease itself.
3| The Global Burden of Diseases, Injuries, and Risk Factors Study 2019 estimates that 8 million deaths were attributable to dietary risk factor.
A new research study in @bmj_latest doi.org/10.1136/bmj.m3… finds the risk to die early (<70yrs) increases with irregularity & length of women’s #menstrualcycle irregularity, with premature mortality mostly due to #cardiovasculardisease. What's it mean for women with #PCOS? 1/13
PCOS affects 10% of women worldwide & irregular menstrual cycles are a common symptom. Many of the women in this study likely have PCOS. Understandably, the higher rates of premature mortality reported will be worrying to women with PCOS. But what causes period irregularity? 2/13
Increased levels of male hormones #androgens are a cause of irregular periods (see: doi.org/10.1177/204201…; doi.org/10.1210/en.201…) and also impact on pancreatic beta cell function (doi.org/10.2337/db20-0…) causing #insulinresistance 3/13
