Nearly one in three Canadians is living with pre-diabetes and some of them aren’t even aware of it! Pre-diabetes is characterized by blood sugar levels that are higher than normal, but not high enough to be diagnosed as diabetes.

𝗧𝗿𝘂𝗲 𝗼𝗿 𝗳𝗮𝗹𝘀𝗲 🧠 Alzheimer's disease affects only people aged 60 and over?

Alzheimer's disease is the most common type of dementia. It is a fatal, degenerative disorder characterized by changes in the structure and chemistry of the brain.

Although our understanding of Alzheimer's has increased in leaps and bounds recently, we still don't know what causes this disease or how to stop its progression.

🌼 Each person is affected differently. While it's difficult to predict symptoms, the order in which they will appear or the speed of their progression, there are some warning signs you can look out for.

🚭 Smoking and va**ng ni****ne both have negative health effects, but va**ng is often seen as a safer alternative, especially when you want to kick the cigarette habit. But what are the differences? 🤔

🚬 𝗖𝗶𝗴𝗮𝗿𝗲𝘁𝘁𝗲𝘀: When you lit a cigarette, the combustion of the to***co creates smoke that contains ni****ne along with many toxic and cancer-causing chemicals which are harmful to your lungs when inhaled.

💧 𝗩𝗮𝗽𝗲𝘀: The liquid used in an electronic cigarette contains flavours with or without ni****ne. When you v**e, this liquid is heated to produce a vapour. The temperature required to create this vapour is lower than that reached by burning to***co in a cigarette, but it is still enough to create toxic chemicals.
