Cervical cancer is one of the few types of cancer that can be prevented and detected early through regular screening.
Sleep does more than prevent fatigue.
It is an essential biological process. While you sleep, your body regulates hormones, repairs tissues, consolidates memory, and strengthens your immune system. Sleep is not a luxury or wasted time — it is a pillar of health.
When rest is insufficient or poor in quality, the effects go far beyond feeling sleepy during the day.
We often think oral health is only about preventing cavities or maintaining an attractive smile. However, your mouth is a direct gateway to the rest of your body.
What happens in your gums does not stay in your mouth.
Oral bacteria and inflammation can enter the bloodstream and affect vital organs.
When you go in for a dental checkup, it’s natural to assume the main goal is to find cavities, check fillings, or get a cleaning. However, a dental exam goes far beyond your teeth.
For decades, antibiotics transformed modern medicine. Infections that were once life-threatening became treatable. Surgeries became safer. Cancer treatments became more viable. Complications were reduced.
Today, we face a quieter but serious challenge: antibiotic resistance.
Measles has reappeared in different regions and, as with other vaccine-preventable diseases, it often resurfaces when there are people who are unvaccinated or have incomplete vaccination schedules. This has raised many questions—especially for families who no longer have their vaccination records, and for expats who aren’t sure how vaccination works in Mexico.
The good news is that measles is preventable and that, even during an outbreak, there are clear and effective actions to protect health in both children and adults.
This blog explains, in a practical way, what to do, how measles vaccination works in Mexico, and how to reduce the risk of infection.
Medicine, like many other scientific fields, was not always an open space for women. For centuries, studying medicine, practicing it, and being recognized as physicians meant facing social, legal, and cultural barriers that seemed impossible to overcome.
Yet, some women chose to do it anyway.
With knowledge, determination, and a deep vocation for service, they not only paved the way to practice medicine, but also transformed healthcare systems and expanded opportunities for generations of women who followed.
You wake up with jaw pain, neck stiffness, or a feeling of pressure in your head. You may think you slept in an awkward position, that you’re stressed, or that it was just a bad night. However, when these symptoms happen repeatedly, your body may be sending a clear signal: bruxism.
Most people imagine that a serious illness “shows itself.” That it hurts, gives warnings, or sends clear signals.
High blood pressure completely breaks that idea.
In most cases, it causes no obvious symptoms. It doesn’t hurt. It doesn’t bother you. It doesn’t immediately interfere with daily life. And precisely for that reason, it can progress for years without being detected, causing silent damage to vital organs such as the heart, brain, kidneys, and blood vessels.
This is one of the most common questions in nutrition appointments:
Do I have to eat breakfast? Is intermittent fasting better? What if I’m not hungry in the morning? What if I want to lose weight?
Here’s the simple (and sometimes unpopular) truth: there isn’t a universal answer.
What works great for one person might be unhelpful—or even backfire—for someone else.
