To get to the bottom of what's fact and what's fiction, we asked registered dietitians Maddie Pasquariello and Roxana Ehsani about the coffee myths they come across the most. But despite its popularity, there are plenty of myths about coffee and it can be difficult to know what's true. Two-thirds of Americans drink coffee every single day, according to data collected by the National Coffee Association in 2022. "I would only recommend that people don't forget to drink a glass of water first or along with [coffee] too," Ehsani says. Myth #3: "More than 2 cups of coffee a day is too much"Deepak Chopra told CNBC Make It he drinks two to three cups of coffee before noon.

To sort out my smartwatch health and fitness questions, I spoke with CNN wellness expert Dr. Leana Wen. A smartwatch with a heart rate monitor can help athletes track their heart rates to keep them in a certain range. Wen: What a lot of active people do is to track heart rate during exercise to keep the heart rate in a certain range. This is where the heart rate is under 70% to 75% of your maximal heart rate. Many smartwatches track sleep and can tell you how long you’ve slept and how much time you spent in each sleep stage.

Novo Nordisk's blockbuster Wegovy weight loss drug has received backing from the European Union's medical regulator to expand the medicine's use to include reducing the rise of serious heart events in overweight and obese adults.

Novo Nordisk said it expects to implement the label update within a month. The company's CEO Thomas Schinecker welcomed positive early stage trial results from the firm's two weight loss drug candidates as showing "best in disease potential."

In fact, they're often specifically designed to be irresistible, a scientist who used to work with UPF companies told Business Insider. But over time, Smith said companies became more interested in enhancing food to make it irresistible to the point where people feel they can't stop eating it. That's because sonic branding, or associating a sound with a product, can make us want to consume it, Smith said. How a chocolate bar sounds when it snaps can be engineered. So, similar to sound, companies use our sense of smell to grab our attention and make us crave their products.

Rucking appealed to me because it seemed like a simple way to make my daily lunchtime walks more efficient. That said, it doesn't look like a normal backpack, so I did get a few strange looks as I strolled around the rural village where I live on a weekday lunchtime. It felt very different from carrying a normal backpack, too, likely due to the weight and its positioning. AdvertisementI also learned that the ruck isn't something I will just always throw on when going for my daily walk. It ended up being a great workout, and definitely left me with aching muscles the next day.

Now, a new study has found those who experience more gratitude also have a lower risk of dying. The researchers used data from the Nurses’ Health Study, which included nearly 50,000 women between ages 69 and 96 who completed a six-item gratitude questionnaire in 2016. The researchers controlled for factors such as psychological well-being, health issues and other demographics including social and religious participation. There’s no clear consensus on how often one should practice gratitude, Simon-Thomas said. Having more gratitude has also been linked to being more optimistic in general, and people who express higher levels of gratitude tend to look more for the good in life, Watkins added.

CNN —The care that comes after a cardiac arrest should include supporting mental health — especially for women, new research has found. The team compared the data on patients’ socioeconomic status and mental health with those in the general population, according to the study. The amount of women taking anxiety or depression medications after cardiac arrest was also greater than in women in the general population, said Smits, a postdoctoral researcher at Amsterdam University Medical Center in the Netherlands. “Mental health and stress make cardiac events worse and more frequent, and we know that cardiac events make mental health worse,” he said. If you or someone you know is struggling with mental health, help is available.

These hyper-palatable foods contain the perfect fat-to-carbohydrate ratio, which makes it near impossible for us to stop eating them, Smith said. "I was consciously cutting out ultra-processed food because of the bad things it might do for my health. He felt more energetic, full for longer, and able to stop eating when he felt full. "You're not going to persuade people to move away from ultra-processed food by telling them it's bad for them.

“Diet soft drinks were the key contributor to ultraprocessed food consumption. The NOVA classification system sorts foods from minimally processed — whole foods such as fruits and vegetables — to processed foods such as deli meat and sausage — to ultraprocessed. The study found that people who consumed the most ultraprocessed food were younger and heavier, and had an overall poorer quality of diet than those who ate fewer ultraprocessed foods. “If anything, we are probably underestimating ultraprocessed food consumption in our study because we’re being very conservative,” Loftfield said. “However, all categories of ultraprocessed food were associated with increased risk.”Choosing more minimally processed foods is a one way to limit ultraprocessed foods in one’s diet, Loftfield said.

"Nobody really knows, and that uncertainty is uncomfortable," said Lisa Schilling, director of practice research at the Society of Actuaries Research Institute, the research arm of the Society of Actuaries. Longevity risk measures the likelihood someone may live longer than expected and outlive their savings. The tool asks for basic information on either an individual or a couple: age, sex, retirement age, smoking status and a description of their general health — poor, average or excellent. The results aim to provide a "reasonable" estimate of how long you might live, according to the organizations. Health status affects life expectancy projectionsChronic health conditions such as high blood pressure, cardiovascular disease, cancer, diabetes, high cholesterol, tobacco use, obesity or Parkinson's disease reduce an individual's projected life expectancy.

“I really gravitated towards the sugary ultraprocessed foods — it was like a physical drive, I had to have it,” he said. While many people addicted to food will say that their symptoms began to worsen significantly in adolescence, some recall a childhood focused on ultraprocessed food. The Institute of Food Technologists, an association of food professionals and technologists, does not agree with the research on ultraprocessed food addiction. “Children who eat a lot of ultraprocessed foods could well be malnourished.”According to the International Food and Beverage Alliance, however, there is no clear, objective, reliable or scientifically validated definition for “ultraprocessed” food. “Each time I would pray, ‘Please be it, please make this the answer.’ But I would ultimately start binging on ultraprocessed foods,” Odwazny said.
