Diagnosis..

 

Certain foods can help manage health conditions such as diabetes, and others can help support the healthy functioning of internal systems such as our digestive tract. Even more so, food can also boost our energy levels, improve our mood and lower blood pressure, which is especially important for those managing hypertension.

On average, American adults consume a whopping 3,400 mg of sodium daily, most of which actually doesn’t come from the salt shaker. Pankaj Lal, MD, FACC, a board-certified cardiologist and owner of Capital Cardiac Care in Maryland, says, “The American Heart Association recommends anyone with hypertension to limit their sodium intake to 1,500 mg a day.” 

“Whole Grains may improve heart health because they are rich in fiber and can help lower blood pressure and cholesterol levels.” She says the first ingredients listed on a bread product should be ‘whole grains’ 

The best cure for high blood pressure is being active. Try at least 30 minutes of moderate exercise five days a week or vigorous activity for 75 minutes per week,” says Lal. Find a form of movement you like.

Trick..

 
China's leader, Xi Jinping, accused the US of trying to trick China into invading Taiwan but said his country wouldn't take the bait, the Financial Times reported , citing people familiar with the matter.

The FT said Xi made the accusation in April last year during a meeting with European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen.

Xi has issued the same warning to officials in his own country, one person told the FT, but this is first known case of him making the claim to a foreign leader, the outlet said. 

During the meeting, according to a press statement released at the time, Xi said Taiwan was at the "core" of China's interests, adding: "If anyone expects China to compromise and concede on the Taiwan question, they are having a pipe dream and would shoot themselves in the foot."

Comment:

The USA spend 850 billion of Dollars on Military spending annually, with minimum return on our investment. The USA has military everywhere in the world, support war anywhere that we may think differently about it.    Syria, Iraq, Libya, Ukraine, activities around the Red Sea and the Taiwan issues. On the other hand, China, soon to become the Number One Economy in the world is reserved.   Just a thought.

Offensive..

 
Former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D) suggested Friday that the New York hush money case against former President Trump was only brought forward because of his name and White House bid.  

Cuomo, in an interview Friday on HBO’s “Real Time with Bill Maher,” argued that the case should have “never” been brought forward.  

“If his name was not Donald Trump and if he wasn’t running for president… I’m the former AG of in New York [and] I’m telling you that case would’ve never been brought.” 

“That’s what is offensive to people, and it should be because if there’s anything left, it’s belief in the justice system,” he added.

Judy..

 
Judge Judy” Sheindlin is calling Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s (D) hush money case against former President Trump “nonsense.”

“You gotta twist yourself into a pretzel to figure out what the crime was. [Bragg] doesn’t like him — New York City didn’t like him for a while,” Sheindlin said of Trump in a “Who’s Talking to Chris Wallace?” interview streaming Friday on Max.

would be happier, as someone who owns property in Manhattan, if the district attorney of New York County would take care of criminals who were making it impossible for citizens to walk in the streets and use the subway, to use his efforts to keep those people off the street, than to spend $5 million or $10 million of taxpayers’ money trying Donald Trump on this nonsense,” the longtime TV judge told Wallace

Horror..

 

Israeli Air Force (IAF) has grounded an F-16 squadron stationed at Ramon Air Base for three weeks following two serious incidents of incorrect target attacks in Gaza. 
The first incident involved the entry of incorrect coordinates on the ground, leading to an unintended target being struck.

Despite procedural changes implemented after this initial mistake, a similar error occurred just days later during an overnight mission aimed at five targets in the Gaza Strip. In this second incident, a digit in one of the target coordinates was mistyped, resulting in another incorrect target being attacked.

“There was no compliance with procedures for verifying targets on the ground,” an IAF spokesperson stated, attributing the mishaps to “negligence in entering the waypoints, failure to comply with procedures in performing additional controls by the crew, [and] failure to change habits — even though the procedures were changed after the first mistake.”

Economy..

 

The “World in 2050” report by PwC projects China to become the world’s largest economy, contributing around 20% of the global GDP.

China has already surpassed the United States in purchasing power parity (PPP) and is poised to become the world’s largest economy before 2030. By 2050, India is expected to hold the third-largest economy spot.

In another report from the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), the global population is expected to exceed 9 billion by 2050. This surge will place unprecedented pressure on natural resources crucial for energy and food production.

Despite the recent global recession, the world GDP is anticipated to nearly quadruple by 2050. However, the economic trajectories of various regions will diverge significantly.

Ditch..

 A nine-member bipartisan group of New York City Council members is pushing for the city to ditch its "sanctuary city" label in light of increased migrant flows and violence, with a leading official. 

We have enough criminals in this city; we don't need to import more and protect them as well," Holden told Newsweek. "Repealing the laws that have created a sanctuary city status is common sense.

"Those who are wanted for heinous crimes back home or commit crimes in our country should be deported without hesitation. We aim to end this reckless social experiment once and for all."
