The key to a good workout could be sitting in your kitchen cabinet.
A viral social media trend claims that taking a spoonful of honey and salt before hitting the gym provides an energy boost.
Some say this combination mimics the effects of pre-workout supplements, which are meant to enhance physical performance and energy levels when exercising.
EATING FOODS IN THIS ORDER COULD HELP WITH WEIGHT LOSS AND BLOOD SUGAR, EXPERTS SAY
TikTok creators and influencers have been filming themselves pouring honey onto a spoon, or even on the back of their hand, and sprinkling it with salt — many opting for natural options of both — and taking a dose before heading to the gym.
In an interview with Fox News Digital, certified holistic nutritionist Robin DeCicco confirmed that this strategy «does make sense» as a pre-workout boost.
The combination mixes a «rapidly digesting carbohydrate» with sodium, both of which are thought to be «beneficial for an effective workout,» the New Jersey-based nutrition..

The potential benefits of GLP-1 medications continue to expand.
New research has found that the weight loss and diabetes drugs — officially known as glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor agonists —are associated with a reduced risk of some cancers, especially in women.
Researchers at Indiana University and the University of Florida analyzed the incidence of 14 cancers in adults with obesity who were prescribed GLP-1s, comparing them to cancer rates in non-users.
WEIGHT-LOSS DOCTOR SHARES HOW GLP-1S COULD REWIRE BODY AGAINST DISEASE
The study, published in JAMA Oncology, examined health record data from 2014 to 2024 for adults over 18 who were eligible for anti-obesity medications and did not have a prior cancer history.
Of the 86,632 individuals sampled, 68.2% of whom were female, the results indicated a «significantly lower overall cancer risk» among those taking GLP-1s.
Taking GLP-1s was particularly associated with a reduced risk of endometrial, ovarian and meningioma cancers.

A new wellness hack is bouncing across TikTok, quite literally. The trend, popularized by creator Kathryn Smith in a viral video, encourages viewers to start their day by hopping out of bed and jumping 50 times.
While it might sound simple or even silly, the practice has resonated with millions, sparking conversation about how small bursts of movement can jumpstart energy and mood.
HOLLYWOOD ICON HAS USED THE SAME 12-MINUTE WORKOUT ROUTINE SINCE THE 1960S
«I am a lazy person by nature. I always have been. I'm never gonna do something that I don't want to do,» Smith says at the start of her viral clip.
«How I've gotten to the point I am right now has been very, very, very baby steps. So, the first thing is morning jumping…. What I do when I get out of bed, my feet touch the ground, I jump 50 times.»
Smith explains that she believes the practice is effective because of how quickly it gets oxygen to your brain.
«How do you get oxygen to your brain?» she asks. «Increase y..

Magnesium is an essential mineral that supports many basic bodily functions.
It is important for a healthy heart, nerves, muscles and bones, and also helps to regulate calcium and blood sugar levels. The mineral is also vital for protein production, according to Harvard Health.
And now, a new trend on social media claims that magnesium can also promote better sleep, although experts warn that there is limited scientific evidence.
HIDDEN SLEEP DANGER COULD INCREASE RISK OF 172 DISEASES, MAJOR STUDY REVEALS
In particular, TikTokers have posted about the effects of magnesium lotion, oils and sprays to induce sleepiness when used on the bottoms of the feet.
One user (@gandyscraftcorner) posted a video that received nearly 20,000 likes with the caption, «POV: you start putting magnesium lotion on your feet every night before bed and suddenly your insulin and cortisol levels are balancing out … Sleep quality is better than ever and restless leg symptoms have disappeared.»

Experts agree that exercise is vital to longevity and helps to preserve muscle mass, bone density and joint health as we age. But it’s important to approach workouts in the right way to ensure safe, optimal results.
The general guideline is for healthy adults to get 150 minutes of moderate or 75 minutes of vigorous aerobic activity per week, along with at least two days of strength training and activities to improve balance.
However, these recommendations should be modified to meet each individual’s physical abilities and conditions, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

A common vitamin could help prevent the development of skin cancer, new research suggests.
The study, published in JAMA Dermatology, found a decreased risk of three types of skin cancer associated with the use of nicotinamide, which is a form of vitamin B3.
The research examined the health data of more than 33,000 veterans from 1999 to 2024, pulled from Veterans Affairs (VA) records.
COMMON DAILY VITAMIN SHOWN TO SLOW AGING PROCESS OVER FOUR-YEAR PERIOD
Patients who took nicotinamide were matched with similar patients who did not, based on characteristics like age, sex, race, skin cancer history and exposure to other treatments.
The researchers also considered whether patients had health conditions like an organ transplant history or chronic lymphocytic leukemia.
Among the study group, 12,287 patients were exposed to oral vitamin B3 at 500 mg twice daily for more than 30 days and were compared to 21,479 patients who did not take it.
The researchers found that patients who took vitamin ..

With flu season right around the corner, when is the right time to get the influenza vaccine?
For most people who only need one dose of the flu shot, September and October are generally the best times to get vaccinated, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)'s website.
The agency noted that «ideally, everyone should be vaccinated by the end of October.»
FLU SHOT RECOMMENDATIONS FROM THE CDC: ‘VACCINATION SHOULD CONTINUE THROUGHOUT THE SEASON’
Other groups, including those over 65 years old and pregnant women, should not get vaccinated earlier than September, as protection may decrease over time, the agency said.
«However, early vaccination can be considered for any person who is unable to return at a later time to be vaccinated,» the CDC stated.
Among children, some will need two doses of the vaccine, the agency said.
Those include children 6 months to 8 years old who are getting the shot for the first time, those who have not received a total of t..

Jeffrey Mittman knows how to turn life’s toughest battles into opportunities for others.
The Indianapolis-based veteran has worn many hats — Army service member, survivor, leader, and now, a freshly appointed member of the U.S. AbilityOne Commission.
The Virginia-based commission is an independent federal agency that oversees the AbilityOne Program, which creates meaningful employment opportunities for people who are blind or have significant disabilities.
MILITARY HEROES TRANSITION TO CIVILIAN LIFE WITH HELP OF UNIQUE 'COFFEE MEETINGS'
Mittman served in the Army for over 20 years before a tragic incident left him blind and changed the trajectory of his life.
As an infantry soldier starting in 1989, Mittman traveled throughout the U.S., U.K., Germany and Korea, and completed four combat tours.
The father of two daughters recently told Fox News Digital that during his last tour, he served as an advisor to an Iraqi unit.

As people age, many develop presbyopia — age-related farsightedness that makes it hard to read things at close range — and may turn to reading glasses. But new research suggests another option may be on the horizon.
Scientists have found that specially formulated eye drops could restore close-up vision for many patients, offering a non-surgical, non-glasses approach to age-related vision loss.
The study, presented on Sept. 14 at the 43rd Congress of the European Society of Cataract and Refractive Surgeons in Denmark, followed 766 patients, most in their mid-50s, who were experiencing the classic symptoms of presbyopia.
POPULAR WEIGHT-LOSS DRUGS LINKED TO SUDDEN VISION LOSS, RESEARCH SUGGESTS
Instead of glasses, researchers prescribed drops containing pilocarpine, a drug that helps the eye adjust its focus, along with diclofenac, a mild anti-inflammatory designed to make the treatment more comfortable.
