✨ 5 Easy Health Habits to Adopt ✨

Want to feel healthier, more energetic, and just overall better without complicated diets? Start with these simple habits:

1️⃣ Walk for 10 minutes daily
A short walk boosts circulation, lifts your mood, and keeps your body moving. Even 10 minutes counts! 🚶‍♂️💨

2️⃣ Skip one meal once a week
Give your digestive system a break. It can help regulate blood sugar, improve metabolism, and sharpen focus. 🥗✨

3️⃣ Avoid eating past 10 PM & before 10 AM
Stick to a consistent eating window to support digestion, sleep, and prevent late-night cravings. ⏰🥘

4️⃣ Reduce sugar & added sugar
Too much sugar causes energy spikes, crashes, and cravings. Swap processed sweets for natural sources like fruit. 🍓🍎

5️⃣ Leave out margarine
Margarine contains unhealthy trans fats. Use healthier alternatives like olive oil, avocado, or nut butters. 🥑💛

Start small, stay consistent, and watch your body thank you! 💪

3 Common Misconceptions About Peptic Ulcers
Ulcers are misunderstood by many. From misdiagnosed pain to outdated testing methods, here are 3 common misconceptions about peptic ulcers (aka “ulcers”) you should know. 👇🧵

1. Not Every Stomach Pain Means You Have Ulcers
Many people assume that any stomach or abdominal pain is due to ulcers, but this isn’t true. Causes like hunger pangs, ovulation (in women), indigestion, or infections like viral gastritis can also lead to similar discomfort. Always consult a medical professional instead of self-diagnosing.

2. Blood Tests Are Not the Most Reliable for Diagnosing H. Pylori
While Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) is the main bacteria linked to peptic ulcers, using a blood test to confirm infection is not ideal. Blood tests may detect antibodies from a past infection, even if the bacteria is no longer present. Stool antigen tests, breath tests, or endoscopy are more accurate for diagnosis.

3. Ulcers Are Not Caused by Skipping Meals or Eating Too Often
There's a common myth that ulcers are caused by missing meals or eating too frequently. However, the stomach has protective mechanisms that regulate acidity and maintain balance during both feeding and fasting. Persistent pain related to meals should be evaluated by a doctor—it may signal an ulcer, but not because of eating habits alone

5 Things You May Not Know About Your Period

1. You can get pregnant during your period
It’s a common myth that having s*x during your period means you’re safe from pregnancy. But here’s the truth: ovulation timing varies, and some people ovulate early — even before their period ends. Since s***m can live in the body for up to three days, you could still conceive if you ovulate shortly after your period. Also, some women experience ovulation bleeding and mistake it for their period. The bottom line? Don’t rely on your cycle as birth control.

2. The bleeding you get on the pill isn’t a “real” period
If you’re on birth control pills, that monthly bleeding isn’t actually a natural period. It’s called withdrawal bleeding — your body’s response to the lack of hormones during the pill’s inactive week. While your body still builds up a uterine lining, no egg is released, and the bleeding is lighter and more regulated than a true menstrual cycle.

3. Your period changes over time
Just when you think you’ve figured out your cycle, it shifts. Hormones change throughout your life — from puberty to pregnancy, postpartum, and perimenopause — and your period adjusts along with them. While gradual changes are expected, sudden issues like heavy bleeding or skipped periods may be a sign something’s off. If you notice unusual changes, check in with your doctor.

5. PMS is still a mystery
Despite how common it is, doctors still don’t fully understand why premenstrual syndrome (PMS) affects some people more than others. It’s thought to be caused by a mix of hormone fluctuations, brain chemistry changes, and mental health factors like stress or depression. The good news? Lifestyle changes can make a big difference. Regular exercise, quality sleep, and a balanced diet can help ease PMS symptoms — and so can cutting back on sugar, alcohol, and caffeine.

Final Thoughts
Your period is personal — and powerful. Understanding it better helps you take control of your health, spot signs when something’s wrong, and feel more in tune with your body. If anything ever feels off, Eben Health is here to help.

💩 Let’s Talk Baby P**p: What’s Normal & When to Worry

Newborn p**p can be... confusing. So here’s a quick guide for new parents:

👶 First p**p? That greenish-black, sticky stuff is called meconium. Totally normal! It’s how your baby clears out what built up in the womb.

➡️ After meconium comes transitional stools — greenish-yellow, loose, and sometimes “seedy” (especially for breastfed babies). You might see a bit of mucus or even blood — usually from delivery. If unsure, save the diaper and ask your doctor.

🟡🟢🟤 Normal p**p colors include yellow, green, or brown. White, red, or black (after the first few days)? Get it checked.

💡How often should baby p**p?
Day 1 = 1 p**p
Day 2 = 2 p**ps... and so on.
By day 5: ~5 p**ps/day.
After 6 weeks: some babies p**p daily, others may skip a few days — both are normal!

🚨 See a doctor if:
• No p**p in the first 48 hours
• P**p is white, red, or black (after meconium)
• Baby is in pain, has a hard belly, or shows signs of dehydration
• Ongoing diarrhea

Every baby’s pattern is different — the key is knowing what’s within the normal range. 💛

Save this for later & share with a fellow parent!

5 Things to Know About Cesarean Sections

Cesarean sections (C-sections) are common and life-saving, but myths and misunderstandings persist. Here are five key facts:

1. Scars Are Minimal
Modern C-sections use a bikini line incision that heals discreetly and is barely noticeable, thanks to advanced techniques.

2. Vaginal Birth is Still Possible
After a C-section, many women can have a Vaginal Birth After Cesarean (VBAC), depending on their health and medical history.

3. Quick Recovery Times
Most women are discharged within 2–3 days, with some going home as early as 24 hours if in good health.

4. Walking Aids Recovery
Getting out of bed and walking within 24 hours helps ease gas, prevent clots, and speed up healing.

5. How Many C-Sections Are Safe?
Experts generally recommend a limit of three planned C-sections, but this varies by case.

Understanding these facts can reduce fear and stigma. Share to educate others!
