«He's right in the middle of a really important issue in this country, and it's why he's going to get in,» Siegel predicted.
«We are not healthy here. We are a sick society.»
According to Siegel, 45% of U.S. adults and 20% of children are obese, which can lead to diseases such as high blood pressure, heart disease, cancer and diabetes.
The MAHA agenda focuses on nutrition as a key element of creating a healthier nation.

Water is known to be a great resource for good health, but sparkling water could also offer unique benefits.
A new report, published in BMJ Nutrition, Prevention and Health, suggests that carbonated water may support weight loss by enhancing glucose uptake and metabolism in red blood cells.
The researchers aimed to analyze the physiological effects of carbonated water, as it has been found to induce satiety (feelings of fullness) and gastric motility (movement of food through the body), both of which could reduce hunger.

In analyzing a study from 2004, the team found that carbonated water may support weight loss by converting to HCO3 – a byproduct of metabolism – in red blood cells and increasing energy production.
But the effect of this is «so small,» the researchers concluded, that it is «difficult to expect weight loss effects solely from the CO2 in carbonated water.»
Therefore, the researchers noted that sparkli..

A man who served in World War II as an airman recently turned 100 years old — and celebrated in style with two different birthday parties.

Born and educated in Edinburgh, Fife said he was called up for national service with the Royal Air Force in 1943.
He trained as a wireless operator and air gunner in the RAF, SWNS said.

While red meat is a rich source of protein, iron and other nutrients, a recent study linked it to an increased risk of dementia — but some doctors are casting doubt on the claim.
Researchers from the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health and Mass General Brigham found that daily consumption of certain amounts of processed red meats increased dementia risk by 13%, according to a press release.
It was also tied to a 14% higher risk of developing subjective cognitive decline and faster brain aging.
BRAIN AND MEMORY ARE BOOSTED BY EATING ONE PARTICULAR DIET, STUDY FINDS
«The findings did not really surprise us,» lead study author Yuhan Li, a researcher from Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health in Boston, told Fox News Digital.
«The results are generally in line with our hypothesis, showing that a higher intake of red meat, particularly processed red meat, is associated with an increased risk of developing dementia and worse cognition.»
The increased risk was seen in people who ate..

People who have had COVID-19 are more likely to develop chronic fatigue syndrome, officially known as myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS).
That’s according to a study published in the Journal of General Internal Medicine earlier this month, which found that 4.5% of people infected with SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID, developed chronic fatigue.
In comparison, only 0.6% of study participants who did not have COVID developed the second condition.
ALWAYS FEELING TIRED? EXPERTS SHARE 4 COMMON CAUSES OF DAYTIME FATIGUE
The researchers determined that cases of ME/CFS were 15 times higher than pre-pandemic levels.
«As a researcher dedicated to understanding how viral infections lead to chronic illness, I suspected from the beginning of the pandemic that SARS-CoV2 could trigger ME/CFS, so these results are not surprising,» said lead study author Suzanne D. Vernon, PhD, from the Bateman Horne Center in Salt Lake City.

«This leads to a decrease in our ability to metabolize alcohol at the same rate as when we were younger, leading to smaller amounts causing more impairment.»
Some studies have also found that older drinkers might be more susceptible to alcohol’s effect on coordination, reaction time and memory.
Healthcare experts warned of the following negative effects of alcohol that can worsen as people age.
