Understanding Nighttime Teeth Grinding: Causes and Solutions Bruxism, commonly known as teeth grinding, often occurs during sleep and can lead to significant dental and health issues. Stress and anxiety are primary contributors to this condition. The American Dental Association reports a notable increase in bruxism cases, with over 70% of dentists observing a rise in patients exhibiting signs of teeth grinding and clenching. Key Points: Prevalence: Affects both adults and children, with a higher occurrence in younger individuals. Causes: Linked to stress, anxiety, sleep disorders, and certain medications. Symptoms: Jaw pain, headaches, worn tooth enamel, and increased tooth sensitivity. Early diagnosis and intervention are crucial. Consulting with dental professionals can provide personalized treatment plans, including stress management techniques and the use of custom mouthguards. #Bruxism #DentalHealth #StressManagement #GHMMedia

?? Think You’re Too Young for Heart Problems? Think Again. As we end this month, we want to remind everyone that Cardiovascular disease is no longer just a concern for older adults—heart issues are rising in young adults due to lifestyle factors like stress, poor diet, and sedentary habits. ?? Did You Know? ?? 1 in 5 heart attacks occur in people under 40. ?? High blood pressure is increasingly common in adults under 35. ?? Early arterial plaque buildup starts in the teens and 20s. ?? What Can Healthcare Professionals Do? - Educate younger patients on modifiable risk factors. - Advocate for early screenings and lifestyle interventions. - Promote mental health & stress management—a silent contributor to heart disease. Let’s shift the narrative: Heart health is a lifelong priority, not just a midlife concern. #GHMMedia #HeartHealthMonth #CardiovascularCare #PreventiveMedicine #HeartToHeart

???? What is a Cardiologist? A Vital Role in Heart Health ?? Cardiologists are specialized physicians who diagnose, treat, and prevent heart and blood vessel diseases. Their expertise ranges from managing high blood pressure to performing life-saving interventions like angioplasty and pacemaker placements. ?? Types of Cardiologists & Their Specialties: ?? General Cardiologists – Focus on heart disease prevention and treatment. ?? Interventional Cardiologists – Perform minimally invasive procedures to open blocked arteries. ?? Electrophysiologists – Specialize in heart rhythm disorders and treatments like ablation. ?? Heart Failure Specialists – Manage conditions like cardiomyopathy and advanced heart failure. ?? Why Does This Matter? Cardiovascular disease remains the leading cause of death globally. As healthcare professionals, we play a critical role in educating communities, encouraging heart-healthy habits, and advocating for early screenings. ?? As we end #HeartHealthMonth, let’s amplify awareness and collaboration to combat heart disease together! #GHMMedia #Cardiology #HeartHealthMonth #PreventiveMedicine #HealthcareProfessionals #HeartToHeart

?? The Key to Longevity Lies in Vascular Flexibility Vascular stiffness is a key predictor of cardiovascular disease, cognitive decline, and overall aging. Dr. Gundry’s quote, "You are only as young as your blood vessels are flexible," highlights an essential concept in cardiovascular health. ?? Why Does Vascular Flexibility Matter? - Endothelial function: A decline in nitric oxide production leads to arterial stiffening. - Inflammation & oxidative stress: Chronic inflammation accelerates atherosclerosis. - Lifestyle & prevention: Diet, physical activity, and stress management directly impact arterial health. ?? How Can We Guide Patients Toward Better Vascular Health? ?? Encourage a Mediterranean or DASH diet—rich in polyphenols, omega-3s, and nitrates. ?? Promote regular aerobic exercise, which enhances endothelial function. ?? Address stress management—chronic cortisol spikes contribute to arterial rigidity. ?? Advocate for routine screenings—early detection of hypertension and metabolic syndrome is key. This #HeartHealthMonth, let’s continue educating, advocating, and implementing preventive strategies to help others—and ourselves—maintain cardiovascular resilience.

Save the date! We are proud to support the American Heart Association in their mission to combat heart disease. ?? If you’re in the area, consider participating in one of the Heart Walks taking place in Washington DC, Maryland, and Virginia. Together, we can make a difference! #HeartToHeart #HeartMonth #HeartHealth

?? The 30-Second Health Check You Should Be Doing Every Morning Your Resting Heart Rate (RHR) is a simple but powerful indicator of your overall health. Taking just 30 seconds each morning to check your RHR can help you monitor heart health trends and detect potential issues early. Here’s how to do it: ? Step 1: Before getting out of bed, place two fingers (not your thumb) on your wrist or the side of your neck. ? Step 2: Count the beats for 15 seconds, then multiply by four to get your beats per minute. ? Step 3: Use a smartwatch or fitness tracker for ongoing monitoring. ?? A normal RHR is 60-100 bpm for most adults. If yours is consistently above 100 or below 60 (and you’re not an athlete), it may be time to consult a healthcare professional. Small daily habits lead to better long-term health. Are you tracking your RHR? Let’s talk about it in the comments! ?? #HeartHealth #KnowYourNumbers #PreventativeCar #HeartToHeart
