People on a #plantbased #vegan #diet often take in fewer calories and more fiber than those on a standard diet. That leads to a #healthier system in the long-term.

HealthLabs has developed a range of full lab blood tests to help vegans monitor their nutritional levels. HealthLabs #veganhealth #vegan #plantbased totallyveganbuzz.com/news/lab-tests…

We're starting off positive with this week's topic—#cholesterol. It's one of the leading factors in one of America's most dangerous killers, heart disease. But good news—Americans are getting better at controlling it, and testing is a big part of that. bit.ly/368kBtA

With all the talk about #COVID19 and #comorbidities, here's a fact—there are 30.3 million people in the United States with #diabetes. That's almost 10% of the American population battling the #disease on two fronts.

Could it be that laughter is the best medicine? (No, the best medicine is medicine, but it looks like it helps!) bit.ly/3cKc2Yy

What's the difference between Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes? People with Type 1 #Diabetes don’t produce #insulin at all; those with Type 2 don’t respond to insulin as well as they should.

"As #data on #COVID19 continues to pour in, one thing has become incredibly clear: As a whole, #AfricanAmericans are impacted more by the #coronavirus." That data is telling us the most likely culprit is #diabetes. yhoo.it/2X9xBLu

Both #Type1 and #Type2 of #diabetes can lead to chronically high #bloodsugar levels. That increases the risk of diabetic complications like seizures, loss of consciousness or death.

#Diabetes changes the way your body uses #glucose, an important source of #energy for the #cells that make up your #muscles and tissue,. It's also the brain's main source of #fuel.

We're ending our diabetes week with a positive story of perseverance. It's not all over when you get sick, it's just a new chapter in your story. Have a great Memorial Day weekend, y'all. cnn.it/2AH8d8g

Sometimes, even #healthy people have high #cholesterol. Scientists have found the reason why -- a specific #gene that helps regulate it. #hearthealth bit.ly/2XveY4R

#Cholesterol is a waxy substance found in your blood. Your body needs cholesterol to build #healthy cells, but high levels can increase your risk of #heartdisease. #cholesterolfree #cholesteroldetox

With high #cholesterol, you can develop fatty deposits in your #blood vessels. Those deposits can break suddenly and form a #clot that causes a #heartattack or #stroke. #Health

There are two types of #cholesterol—#LDL and #HDL. High levels if LDL are dangerous because it narrows #blood vessels, while HDL helps in preventing that narrowing. #health #cardiovascular

Are these signals of high #cholesterol that form around the eyes a warning that you're about to have a #heartattack? #stroke #health bit.ly/3gwChnt

High #cholesterol has no symptoms. A #bloodtest is the only way to detect if you have it, so make sure and visit HealthLabs.com to schedule your cholesterol or any of the other 600+ tests we offer. No doctor's note needed!

A healthy #HDL (or high-density lipoproteins) #cholesterol level may protect against #heartattack and #stroke because it carries cholesterol from other parts of your body back to your #liver, which then removes the cholesterol from your body.
