Veterans Day, Honoring Our Heroes🎖️

🌎 This day shares its roots with Armistice Day and Remembrance Day, marking the end of World War I, when hostilities ceased at the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month in 1918. Originally called Armistice Day, it became Veterans Day in 1954 to honor all who have served.

❤️🤍💙 At River Valley Primary Care Services, we’re proud to care for the veterans in our communities and thank them for their dedication and sacrifice.

🍓 Did You Know?

More and more fruits are being grown without seeds, from grapes 🍇 to watermelons 🍉, and now even blackberries may be next! But are seedless fruits just as healthy? 🤔

💡 Studies show that fruits with seeds, like seeded grapes, watermelons, and pomegranates, often contain more antioxidants, fiber, and healthy oils from their seeds. These nutrients can help support heart health and reduce inflammation.

🌱 Seedless fruits are still healthy and convenient, but when possible, choosing fruits with seeds gives your body an extra nutritional boost.

💡 Note: While seeds in fruits like grapes, watermelons, and pomegranates are healthy, apple, cherry, and apricot seeds should not be eaten, they contain naturally occurring compounds that can be harmful in large amounts.

🍎 Want personalized tips for getting the most out of your fruits and veggies? Our dietician can help you make the healthiest choices for you and your family! 🥗

💪 Protein…is Everywhere

From shakes and bars to cereals, now even Pop-Tarts, it feels like everything these days has a “protein” in it!

Protein is important for building muscle, supporting recovery, and keeping you full longer 🥩🌱, but according to nutrition experts from the Mayo Clinic and Harvard Health, most people already get enough protein through their regular diet. Too much can even put extra stress on your kidneys and liver over time.

And remember, not all protein is the same!

🥩 Animal-based proteins (like chicken, eggs, and fish) contain all essential amino acids.

🌱 Plant-based proteins (like beans, lentils, and quinoa) can be just as beneficial when mixed for variety, plus they’re full of fiber and nutrients!

⚖️ Balance is key. You probably don’t need a “protein Pop-Tart” to meet your goals, just a healthy mix of whole foods and smart choices.

🍎 Want help figuring out what’s right for you? River Valley Primary Care Services has a registered dietitian who can help you go over your nutrition goals and build a plan that fits your lifestyle!

💁November is National Diabetes Month!

Did you know diabetes happens when your body can’t use or make insulin properly, causing high blood sugar? It can develop at any age, and risk increases with age, family history, weight, or inactivity.

📊 Quick facts:

About 12% of adults in Arkansas have diabetes, higher than the national average.

Lifestyle matters: staying active, eating healthy, and regular check-ups can make a big difference.

Ask your provider about screening if you’re 45+, have risk factors, or haven’t checked your blood sugar recently.

Let’s use this month to raise awareness and take steps toward a healthier life! 💪

🚨 ZYN isn’t “just ni****ne” it’s a trend you need to know about.

First it was smoking, then vaping… now ZYN pouches. What they all have in common?
Addictive.
Bad for your health.
Marketed by the same big to***co companies (yes, the ones behind Marlboro).

We don’t fully know the long-term effects of ZYN, but ni****ne is still addictive and can impact your heart, brain, and gums. Just because it’s “discreet” or “cool” doesn’t mean it’s safe.

💬 Parents: Talk to your teens. Users: Need help quitting? We’re here for you. Your health comes first, don’t let trends put it at risk.

Men Need Twice as Much Exercise as Women to Reduce Heart Disease Risk? ❤️

A new study published in Nature Cardiovascular Research found that men need nearly twice as much exercise as women to achieve the same reduction in heart disease risk.

🏃‍♂️ Here’s what the research found:

Women who got about 250 minutes of moderate-to-vigorous exercise per week lowered their heart disease risk by 30%.

Men needed roughly 530 minutes per week, that’s nearly 9 hours, to see the same benefit.

Even with existing heart disease, women saw greater improvements in longevity from the same amount of exercise compared to men.

🧬 Why the difference?
Doctors believe it comes down to biology:

Women typically have higher estrogen levels, which can boost fat metabolism and cardiovascular efficiency during exercise.

They also tend to have more slow-twitch muscle fibers, allowing their bodies to use oxygen more effectively, a key factor in heart health.

Men, on the other hand, often have more fast-twitch muscles suited for quick bursts of power rather than long, sustained activity.

❤️‍🔥 The takeaway? Whether you’re a man or a woman, consistent movement matters. Aim for:

At least 150 minutes of heart-pumping exercise weekly (brisk walking, biking, swimming, etc.)

Add in strength training twice a week for extra heart and muscle health.
