It can be a challenge to try and meet your daily protein goals, but getting enough of this nutrient is crucial because it can increase muscle strength, boost your metabolism, help you maintain strong bones, aid in weight loss, and help to reduce your appetite. This is especially challenging for those who are always on the go, which is why protein powder can be a great option for those who need a quick protein boost. Unfortunately, not all of these products are created equal when it comes to nutrition, and some of the worst protein powders on the market can contain hidden health risks in the form of artificial flavors, thickeners, added sugars, and other shady ingredients. What's worse, a 2018 Clean Label Project investigation found that s...

Since the start of 2024, there have been 128 cases of measles in 19 states and seven outbreaks, concerning public health officials. As the highly contagious virus continues to spread, being familiar with measles rash images and other symptoms, and knowing your vaccination status can help keep you safe, too. Measles has been considered eliminated in the U.S. for over 20 years, meaning it is no longer constantly present, though there have been small outbreaks. However, the growing number of cases in 2024 is threatening to overturn this status, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said in an April 11 report. Childhood vaccination rates are falling, and cases have been rising for several yers. Now, the CDC is urging people to get immunized against the measles, as the vaccine is highly effective. Over 80% of people who've gotten measles this year were either unvaccinated or their vaccination status was unknown, NBC News reported. In order to prevent measles outbreaks, at ...

JACKSON, Mich. (WILX) - The Jackson County Health Department is warning residents of a possible measles exposure. The possible exposure is related to a case of measles in Washtenaw County, the Jackson County Health Department said Friday afternoon. The measles virus can stay in the air for around two hours after an infected person leaves. Anyone who was at the Henry Ford Jackson Hospital Emergency Department on March 10 may have been exposed. However, since 72 hours have passed, it's too late for vaccine prevention. "Maintaining the health and wellbeing of our patients, team members and community is our top priority. We're working alongside health officials to ensure anyone who might've encountered this person in our facility has the proper guidance and support. Vaccinations are the absolute best line of defense against diseases like measles, and we strongly encourage anyone who's not been vaccinated to do so as soon as possible," Henry Ford Health said in res...

These little critters are fuzzy, colorful and all over Florida – but don't touch the caterpillars or you'll be in for a bad time. It's practically raining tussock moth caterpillars all over north and central Florida. They're falling out of the sky and onto everything else. Whether they're covering someone's tire or crowding a backyard, the caterpillars are taking over this year. But be warned, the fuzzy little guys can leave behind an irritating mark if they're touched, so it's best to stay away. The spiky hairs on their back can leave the spot feeling really itchy and cause it to break out into a rash. Here's everything know about the caterpillars. What is a tussock moth caterpillar? There are three species of tussock moth caterpillars found in Florida. The fir tussock moth: orange-colored spots along the back and sides The white-marked tussock moth: lighter body color and yellow spots The definite tussock moth: yellow or tan head with a pale bod...

CNN  —  Health officials are alerting doctors to be on the lookout for certain types of rare, serious meningococcal infections that are on the rise in the United States. The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said in a new health alert that these infections, which are caused by a certain strain of Neisseria meningitidis bacteria, may present with unusual symptoms. In the cases identified so far this year, about 1 in 6 people have died, a higher fatality rate than they typically see with meningococcal infections. These cases are also unusual because they are striking middle-aged adults. Typically, meningitis infections strike babies or adolescents and young adults. The CDC's alert comes after the Virginia Department of Health w...

Vitamin D deficiency occurs when your body doesn't get or process adequate amounts of vitamin D. Vitamin D helps your body absorb calcium, so a deficiency can lead to osteoporosis (low bone density) and fractures (broken bones). Other low vitamin D symptoms include muscle weakness and cramps, hair loss, and tiredness or fatigue. Most people have the vitamin D that their body needs, but as many as one in four adults in the United States are deficient. This is partly because vitamin D isn't quite as easy to get naturally as some other nutrients. Your body makes some vitamin D when you are in the sun, and you can also find it in foods like fish, egg yolks, and fortified foods—as well as in supplement form. Vitamin D deficiency can be hard to diagnose because it either produces no symptoms or its symptoms overlap with many health conditions. The good news: a vitamin D deficiency is relatively easy to treat with supplements once...
