1. Children & Viruses

In a recent study, researchers found that when babies get COVID-19, their bodies respond differently than adults. While adults’ immunity tends to decrease over time after infection, babies’ immunity remains strong, especially in their noses. This discovery could lead to new ways of protecting adults from the virus, such as using a nasal spray to boost their immune response.

2. Heavy Metals & Kids

Two recent studies highlight the connection between exposure to heavy metals in food and the increased risk of cancers and other serious health issues, adding urgency to the problem of foodborne metal contamination. The research emphasizes the presence of lead, arsenic, and cadmium in common foods, specifically baby foods, underlining the need for a better understanding of the health risks associated with heavy metal exposure.

3. TMJ

Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) refers to the jaw joint connecting the jawbone to the skull. TMJ disorders involve pain, discomfort, or dysfunction in this joint and the surrounding muscles, often causing symptoms like jaw pain, clicking, and limited jaw movement. Using a teeth guard can be a temporary solution to pain while you search for the underlying root cause.
