Description

Weight Loss Meds Often Abandoned EarlyPopular weight-loss drugs like Wegovy, Ozempic, and Mounjaro have surged in use, but a new study reveals that nearly half of users stop taking them within a year. Researchers from the European Association for the Study of Diabetes warn that this is a serious concern. These GLP-1 medications are designed for long-term use, and stopping early can limit their effectiveness and undermine health outcomes. Your Phone Might Be Stressing You OutIf your phone is filled with old photos, unused apps, and unread messages, it might be time for a digital detox. Psychologists say cluttered smartphones can contribute to increased stress and anxiety. Clearing out digital junk—even just deleting a few apps or old texts—can bring surprising mental health benefits. Don’t Forget to Wash Your Water BottleReusable water bottles are everywhere—at the gym, in the office, in your car—but when was the last time you cleaned yours? Health experts say if it’s been more than a day, bacteria and mold could be growing in the straws, lids, and corners. To stay safe, make daily cleaning part of your routine.
