Helen Mirren, 80, remains a glowing testament to the power of consistency — and not just in her acting.
The celebrated Oscar-winning actress recently revealed that she still engages in a 12‑minute daily military workout that she claims to have followed faithfully for over 60 years.
Developed in the late 1950s by Dr. Bill Orban for the Royal Canadian Air Force, the XBX (Ten Basic Exercises) plan was originally created to help female air force personnel boost their overall fitness without gyms or fancy equipment.
TIKTOK'S VIRAL '6-6-6' WALKING ROUTINE BURNS FAT WITHOUT GRUELING WORKOUTS
Mirren recently told Women’s Health she is a «big believer» in the system and praised its accessibility.
The XBX regimen consists of four progressive charts, each containing 10 exercises, according to multiple health experts.
Users advance through 48 levels in total (12 levels per chart). While the time it takes to complete each exercise stays the same as you move upward, the number of rep..

Specific eating behaviors have been linked to a surprising medical condition.
In addition to conventional risk factors, like lower body mass index and older age, skipping breakfast and eating dinner late are independently associated with osteoporosis, according to a new study.

Participants included adults 20 years or older (55% female and 45% male) who had a health checkup between April 1, 2014, and February 28, 2022.

Osteoporosis is a silent disease that occurs when bone mineral density and bone mass decreases, according to the National Institutes of Health.

There are three active cases of tuberculosis in Maine as of this week as TB continues to increase across the country, the Maine Center for Disease Control and Prevention reported, according to the Portland Press Herald.
Lindsay Hammes, spokesperson for the agency, said it is «aware of three active TB cases with links to the Greater Portland area and is in the midst of conducting our typical response.»
She said the Maine CDC was working to reach anyone who might have come into contact with any of the infected patients so they can be tested.
Hammes added that each case appears to be contracted from a separate source.

Your favorite diet soda could have a detrimental effect on your cognitive health, a new study suggests.
In a Brazilian study published in the journal Neurology, participants who consumed the highest amount of artificial sweeteners were found to have «significantly faster declines» in thinking and memory skills.
Researchers determined that the highest-consuming group lost about 1.6 years in extra brain aging, with a 62% faster decline.
SUGAR IN DRINKS LINKED TO HIGHER DIABETES RISK THAN THAT IN FOOD, NEW RESEARCH FINDS
The groups at highest risk were younger adults under 60 and people with diabetes. Those older than 60 did not appear to be affected.
In the study, researchers tracked 12,772 adults averaging 52 years old for an eight-year period. The participants filled out questionnaires about what they ate and drank.
The researchers focused on the consumption of seven artificial sweeteners found in soda, energy drinks, flavored water, yogurt and low-calorie desserts.

Cannabis is getting stronger, research has shown — and so are its health risks.
Two new studies raise red flags about how marijuana use may increase paranoia and mental health struggles, especially for people who start using it to cope with anxiety, depression or past trauma.
The first study, published in BMJ Mental Health, looked at more than 3,000 adults who currently or previously used cannabis.
CANNABIS GUMMY POISONINGS SURGE AMONG VULNERABLE GROUP, EXPERTS WARN
Researchers found that people who first tried marijuana to deal with pain, stress or depression were far more likely to struggle with paranoia later.
Those who only used it out of curiosity or for fun had the lowest levels of paranoia and anxiety.
They also measured how much people were consuming. On average, participants reported using the equivalent of 10 to 17 joints per week — with today's strains widely reported to be much stronger than in past decades.
According to the American Psychological Association, in the..

A new study has discovered another way to potentially prevent COVID-19.
Researchers at Saarland University in Germany headed a clinical trial that found a nasal spray could reduce the risk of coronavirus infection by two-thirds.
The phase 2 study, published in JAMA Internal Medicine, ran from March 2023 to July 2024 at Saarland University Hospital.
NEW COVID VARIANT MAY CAUSE 'RAZOR BLADE THROAT' — HERE'S WHAT TO KNOW
The 450 healthy adult participants were randomly assigned to receive either the azelastine nasal spray or a placebo, three times per day for 56 days.
The researchers conducted SARS-CoV-2 rapid antigen testing twice a week to diagnose infection. People who had symptoms but received negative antigen test results underwent multiple PCR tests for respiratory viruses.
Among the 227 individuals who received the azelastine nasal spray, rates of confirmed COVID infection were «significantly lower» at 2.2%, compared with 6.7% for the placebo group.

The first artificial intelligence (AI) stethoscope has gone beyond listening to a heartbeat.
Researchers at Imperial College London and Imperial College Healthcare NHS Trust discovered that an AI stethoscope can detect heart failure at an early stage.
The TRICORDER study results, published in BMJ Journals, found that the AI-enabled stethoscope can help doctors identify three heart conditions in just 15 seconds.
AI TOOLS COULD WEAKEN DOCTORS' SKILLS IN DETECTING COLON CANCER, STUDY SUGGESTS
According to the British Heart Foundation (BHF), which partially funded the study, the researchers analyzed data from more than 1.5 million patients, focusing on people with heart failure symptoms like breathlessness, swelling and fatigue.
A total of 12,725 patients were examined with the new AI stethoscope technology. The patients were found to be twice as likely to be diagnosed with heart failure compared to similar patients not examined with the tool.
Patients examined with the stethoscope we..

A little-known disease is spreading in the U.S., primarily in the state of California, health officials warn.
In a new study published in the CDC journal Emerging Infectious Diseases, researchers state that human cases of Chagas disease have been confirmed in eight states, leading them to recommend that the disease is classified as «endemic.»
«Acknowledging the endemicity of Chagas disease in the United States is crucial for achieving global health goals,» the authors wrote.
VALLEY FEVER CASES SPIKE TO RECORD LEVELS IN WEST COAST STATE, HEALTH OFFICIALS WARN
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention defines a disease as «endemic» when there is a «constant presence and/or usual prevalence» in a population within a specific geographic area — in other words, the «baseline» level of disease within a community.
«Chagas disease (or American trypanosomiasis) is already endemic in South America and Central America, but it has now spread to the Southern U.S., where it is taking hold among ..

Florida’s Surgeon General Dr. Joseph Ladapo has announced the Sunshine State is working to end all vaccine mandates.
In a joint press conference on Wednesday with Gov. Ron DeSantis, Ladapo said the Florida Department of Health (FDH), in conjunction with the governor’s office, will end «every last one» of the vaccine mandates for schoolchildren under Florida law.
«Every last one of them is wrong and drips with disdain and slavery,» said Ladapo. «Who am I, as a government or anyone else, to tell you what you should put in your body? I don’t have that right. Your body is a gift from God.»
