Indiana Governor Mike Braun, R-Ind., became the latest leader to enact health-related policies. On Tuesday, Braun signed a package of nine executive orders to «Make Indiana Healthy Again.»
Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) administrator Dr. Mehmet Oz joined Braun at an event on Tuesday where all three spoke about the importance of healthy eating.
«This isn’t the usual top-down, one-size-fits-all public health agenda: We’re focused on root causes, giving Hoosiers the transparent information to make decisions affecting their health, making it easier to access fresh local food from Indiana’s incredible farms, and taking on the problems in government programs that are contributing to making our communities less healthy,» Braun said in a statement about the orders.

Engaging in a long-term meditation practice could significantly alleviate stress and slow down aging, suggests a new study published in the journal Biomolecules.
Researchers from Maharishi International University (MIU), the University of Siegen, and the Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences studied the effectiveness of transcendental meditation, which is a program where people silently repeat a mantra in their head to achieve deep relaxation.
«These results support other studies indicating that the transcendental meditation technique can reverse or remove long-lasting effects of stress,» co-author Kenneth Walton, a senior researcher at MIU, told Fox News Digital.

Fluoride has long been used as a dental health tool as a means of preventing cavities and fighting tooth decay — but now a new meta-analysis suggests it could have «detrimental effects» on the health of pregnant women and infants.
Researchers analyzed various studies, concluding that exposure to fluoride «offers little benefit to the fetus and young infant.»
Systemic fluoride exposure can have a harmful impact on bone strength, thyroid function and cognitive development, according to the findings, which were published in the Annual Review of Public Health.

Thirteen years after her Alzheimer’s diagnosis, a California woman is more vibrant than ever — and she has just embarked on a walk across America to showcase the power of action in healthy aging.
Judy Benjamin, PhD, now 80 years old, set off on Saturday, April 5, on a 3,000-mile journey across the country.
Over five months, she will walk from San Diego, California, to St. Augustine, Florida.

It wasn’t a surprise, as she comes from a long line of relatives who were ..

Artificial intelligence is quietly transforming how doctors interact with patients — and it might already be in use during your next visit to the doctor’s office.
Thousands of physicians across the country are using a form of AI called ambient listening, surveys show. This technology listens to conversations between doctors and patients, creates real-time transcriptions, and then compiles detailed clinical notes — all without disrupting the flow of the appointment.
Dr. Daniel Kortsch, associate chief of artificial intelligence and digital health at Denver Health, said that ambient listening technology has made a big difference since his practice began using it in fall 2024.
WHAT IS AI?
«It really shifts the doctor-patient interaction, so they can actually just talk and be humans,» Kortsch told Fox News.
At Denver Health, the physicians used an AI tool called Nabla. With just one click, it begins transcribing the doctor’s conversation with a patient — even supporting multiple languages,..

Creatine is a popular supplement used to help build muscle, but researchers in Australia are questioning its effectiveness.
Investigators from the University of New South Wales (UNSW) in Sydney found that individuals who took creatine while performing a three-month weightlifting regimen put on the same amount of muscle as those who did not take the supplement while lifting.
That’s according to their recent study, which was published in the journal Nutrients.
COMMON SUPPLEMENT COULD HELP YOU LIVE LONGER, RESEARCH SUGGESTS
«We’ve shown that taking 5 grams of creatine supplement per day does not make any difference to the amount of lean muscle mass people put on while resistance training,» senior author Mandy Hagstrom, PhD, an exercise scientist from UNSW’s School of Health Sciences, said in a news release about the study.
The clinical trial looked at 54 relatively healthy participants ranging from 18 to 50 years old who were divided into two groups.
Both groups completed the same 12-wee..
