A Japanese study found cooking at home weekly can cut dementia risk by 30%, rising to 70% for beginners. Early dinner aids brain, heart, and metabolism. Semaglutide drug shows promise for post-bariatric surgery patients.
Food and agriculture expert Wayne highlights eggs as a "complete nutritional food," rich in essential amino acids and a rare natural source of Vitamin D.
