margaret39+FollowIt’s Not Laziness—It’s What We’re Eating!Turns out, blaming our growing waistlines on being couch potatoes might be off the mark. A huge new study found that people in wealthier countries actually burn about the same (or more!) calories as folks in less developed places. The real culprit? High-calorie diets. So, it’s not just about moving more—what we eat matters way more than we thought. Time to rethink those snack choices! #Fitness #Obesity #HealthNews8094Share
Jeffrey Miller+FollowTurns Out, Diet Beats Exercise for WeightWild new study says we’ve been blaming the wrong thing for weight gain! It’s not just about skipping the gym—overeating, especially ultraprocessed foods, is the real culprit. Even super active people burn about the same calories as desk jockeys (when you adjust for body size). So, if you’re stressing about missing a workout, maybe check what’s on your plate instead. Exercise is still awesome for your heart and mood, but you can’t out-train a junk food habit! #Fitness #Obesity #HealthNews11Share
Mr. Thomas Martin MD+FollowWeight Loss Jab That’s Outperforming Surgery?!Mounjaro is being called the 'King Kong' of weight loss shots after a new study showed people lost up to 25% of their body weight—way more than other meds like Wegovy. It’s a weekly jab, and some folks are dropping 50 pounds in 18 months! But here’s the catch: side effects like nausea are common, and if you stop, the weight can come back. It’s not a magic fix, but it’s a game-changer for some. Would you try it? #WeightLoss #Mounjaro #HealthNews #Obesity #Wellness #Health72Share

WHO’s also pushing for ways to make them more affordable, especially in lower-income countries, and is considering adding them to its essential medicines list.
