Doctor settles debate on how much water you need to drink each day - not 2 litres
The recent heatwave has left many of us Brits feeling dizzy, faint and tired. During these extreme temperatures, it is important to keep hydrated. For years, the advice to drink two litres of water a day has been widely accepted as the key to healthy living. The NHS recommends drinking six to eight cups or glasses of fluid each day to help keep your body healthy. "Water, lower-fat milk and sugar-free drinks, including tea and coffee, all count as part of your daily intake," shared the national health expert. However, one world-famous expert in nutrition has recently taken to social media to debunk the claim that everyone needs two litres of water a day.
'Lower cholesterol' and 'protect the heart' with beans on toast - but there's a catch
Nutritional Benefits: Baked beans are high in fibre and plant protein, rich in iron, zinc, B vitamins, and the tomato sauce provides lycopene, an antioxidant linked to heart health.
Caution: A typical half-can (207g) contains 1.3g salt (21% of daily limit) and 9g sugar (10% of daily limit), mostly from added sugar in the sauce.
Healthier Tips: Choose reduced sugar/salt beans, use wholegrain bread, skip butter, and add extra vegetables for a nutrient boost.
Global power is shifting
away from ' how it has been ' to something new - and the world is moving away from the United States of America as it sinks - not very slowly in global respect and value under Trump.
No one trusts the USA - and will not trust it ever again.
Someone might just return the USA to how it was before Trump ( unlikely ) and the world may see a return to ' the old ways' but the damage has been done and if the USA can vote for this global destroyer twice, then they can and will do it again and the world WILL NOT sit by and watch the chaos ever again. America is NOT the worlds great leader - and Trump and MAGA need to realise the world does not rely on the USA any more and the $ will soon be replaced and the power structure is shifting away from the USA.
Cholesterol builds up quietly, but your legs may notice first.
Cholesterol doesn't come out and tell you that you have it. Gradually hardens in the walls of arteries in a process called atherosclerosis, with waxy build-up that slowly narrows blood vessels over many months and years. People often don't know about this narrowing until blood flow slows down or problems arise. Your legs are one of the furthest parts of your body from your heart, so any issues with blood flow can manifest there first, making them a first sign of problems in your cardiovascular system as a whole.

Porridge is good for high cholesterol - but a nutrition specialist says these foods work better
Porridge has long been the go-to recommendation because it meets both criteria neatly. But according to a performance nutrition specialist at Prep Kitchen, Dan Osman, it may not be the most effective. “One thing that often surprises me is that porridge gets most of the attention when we talk about cholesterol, but it isn’t necessarily the most effective dietary choice,” he told GB News. “Porridge oats contain beta-glucan, a soluble fibre that helps remove cholesterol from the body. That’s one reason porridge oats are consistently recommended."specialist says these foods work better

Fury as Donald Trump posts AI-generated image of himself as Elvis Presley
Donald Trump has angered Elvis Presley fans after posting an AI-generated image of himself as the King of Rock n' Roll. Scores of posts appeared on the President of the United States' Truth Social account at the weekend.
Many of the posts were images made using artificial intelligence, but one in which Mr Trump presented himself in the guise of Elvis sparked criticism. The President can be seen wearing a white, rhinestone-studded jumpsuit with a raised collar standing on stage in front of a microphone. His post sparked angry responses on social media, including from an X-user who wrote on the platform that the post "may be offensive to millions of Elvis fans". The same X-user said the post was also "highly embarrassing".
This really is the most pathetic and immature thing - and this is not the first - how about when he posed looking like The Pope. From a child, this would be accaptable, from an adult - and esecially POTUS - this is a disgrace. It's not even funny. It really is pathetic.
Trump declares any country with wind turbines is a 'loser'
Donald Trump declared any country that uses wind turbines a “loser” in his latest attack against wind power. Speaking from the Oval Office on Monday (3 August), the US president said: “Any country with windmills is a loser... because you lose money on windmills.” The US accounts for 14% of the world's wind energy capacity, second only to China, which has 70%. The US president has previously labelled wind turbines as “monstrosities” and complained about their impact on tourism. In 2012, he lost a legal battle over 11 turbines that were to be constructed alongside his Aberdeenshire golf course.
The Gordie Howe bridge is opening July 27th.
Canada paid 100% of the $6.4B cost to build the bridge and the deal between Canada was Michigan was Canada would recover half the cost of the bridge with 100% of the tolls and then split the tolls 50/50 with the state of Michigan going forward.
Trump has been shooting his mouth off that he pressured Canada into to splitting the tolls 50/50 DAY ONE meaning Canada would never recover any of its costs to build the bridge… Trump claimed it as a victory!
The Orange Pile of Poop "forgot" to mention the new details of the new contract says Canada and Michigan will split "THE PROFITS 50/50" not the tolls! It will take about fifty years before Michigan starts getting 50% of the tolls. Canada will start recovering its cost to build the bridge DAY ONE, profits will only be declared after Canada has gotten paid back! The Devil is in the details.
Trump got nothing but he's spinning it like he won!
