Powerful superfood that may help combat serious health problems

Known as “the mineral of the moment,” his majesty magnesium delivers health benefits most of us can’t even imagine.

Magnesium is a mineral crucial for normal bone structure in the body. Most people get magnesium from a balanced diet and foods rich in it. In fact, when thinking of foods that are a good source of this mineral, just think of fiber.

According to WebMD, “dietary sources of magnesium include legumes, whole grains, vegetables (especially broccoli, squash, and green leafy vegetables), seeds, and nuts (especially almonds). Other sources include dairy products, meats, chocolate, and coffee.”

This essential mineral is involved in more than 300 enzymatic processes in the body and helps maintain a healthy and functioning immune system, muscles, and nerves.

Among the rest, magnesium helps manage diabetes, help with pain in the bones, lessens anxiety, and helps with constipation.

1. Osteoporosis and Bone Pain

This mineral helps control the levels of calcium in the body and keep the bones healthy. Lack of it causes reduced bone mass and increases the risks of fractures.

How to take it for this condition:

Take glycinate or magnesium citrate for improved absorption.
A recommended daily dosage for an adult is 300–400 mg combined with Vitamin D and calcium.
Consume seeds (sunflower, pumpkin), nuts (almonds, cashews), and leafy greens (spinach, Swiss chard).

2. Blood Sugar Management and Diabetes

A number of studies have linked low magnesium levels with an increased risk of Type 2 diabetes.

How to take it for this condition:

Magnesium taurate or chloride are the recommended forms (taurine also helps regulate insulin).
The suggested daily intake is 250–350 mg, ideally taken after meals to help reduce spikes in blood sugar levels.
Have dark chocolate, beans (black beans, lentils), and whole grains (quinoa, brown rice).

3. Depression and Anxiety

Among the rest, this precious mineral helps regulate neurotransmitters like serotonin and GABA, which play key roles in mood and mental well-being. Deficiency of it increases stress and leads to clinical depression, some researches suggest.

How to take it for this condition:

Opt for magnesium threonate.
The daily dosage to help fight depression and anxiety is 200–400 mg.

4. Digestive problems and constipation

Magnesium helps with constipation by bringing water into the intestines to make stools softer and easier to pass. It also relaxes the muscles in your digestive system to support smoother bowel movements.

How to take it for this condition:

For digestive issues, consider magnesium citrate or oxide.
Take 400–500 mg at night.
Don’t use magnesium laxatives for more than a few days straight unless your doctor says it’s okay.
Drink plenty of water.

Symptoms of magnesium deficiency include:

a loss of appetite
nausea or vomiting
fatigue or weakness
muscle cramps
numbness
seizures
heart rhythm changes or spasms

People who experience kidney issues should avoid taking magnesium.

Dog saying goodbye to dying officer suddenly senses something odd and stops the doctor

By

No matter how hard we try, we’ll never find a friend more loyal and loving than a dog—especially in our toughest times. The saying that dogs are man’s best friend has proven true time and time again, and the following story will only reinforce that truth.

Officer Cory Masterson was involved in a chase of perpetrators along with his dog when he was ambushed and hit in the head in the middle of the woods.

As he fell on the ground, he started losing consciousness.

It was then that his dog partner, Reno, started running towards the woods. When he arrived, one of the criminals, who was holding a knife in his hand, was about to stab Cory who lay motionlessly on the ground.

Reno then grabbed the man’s arm under his elbow and despite getting injured himself, he wouldn’t let go of the man’s arm.

Eventually, the man released himself and ran even further into the woods.

As Reno approached Cory, he heard sirens. It was another police vehicle that was involved in the chase.

The dog led two police officers to the fallen officer.

Soon after, Sergeant Cory was rushed to the hospital while Reno stayed with one of the officers.

The following morning, Reno was waiting next to the officer’s car, eager to get to the hospital and see his buddy.

Unfortunately, Cory suffered a severe skull fracture that led to internal bleeding. Things took a dark turn as he fell into a coma.

Reno wasn’t let into the ICU and he kept waiting in front of the emergency room until an officer took him back home.

Around three months later, Cory, who was still in coma, was transferred home with a nurse who provided him with around the clock care. Reno was also there. He found a safe spot next to his human friend, and never left it.

But then, on a Thursday, something extraordinary happened. Reno could sense something about Cory was different so he rushed towards the room where the caregiver slept and started scratching the door in the middle of the night.

Aware that the dog was trying to tell her something, the nurse followed Reno.

She then noticed movement in Cory’s fingers.

Over time, he started getting better. He started speaking and learned how to walk again, although his health was still very fragile.

One night, Cory woke up and tried to get to the bathroom, and as always, Reno followed after him. But then, the dog could sense something wasn’t right.

Cory’s jaw clenched and his eyes bulged. The next moment, he fell on the floor, unable to move.

Reno scratched the caregiver’s door and barked as loudly as he could. The moment he heard movements and sounds, he knew the caregiver was awake and he rushed back to Cory whose mouth was covered in a thin layer of foam.

The caregiver checked his pulse and turned him on the side, placing a pillow under his head. She then called the emergency services and medics arrived at Cory’s home in no time.

They gave Cory CPR but it looked like they lost him. However, Reno wouldn’t accept that his friend was dead. Instead, he started barking and growling, not letting the doctors come near Cory’s body.

The police was alerted of Reno’s behavior and the doctor asked the dog to be taken out of the house.

However, after a couple of minutes, they heard coughing.

After all, Cory wasn’t dead.

The following day, a press release from Cory’s department stated that doctors were stunned to witness the Lazarus effect in Cory — an inexplicable and extremely rare phenomenon in which a person’s heart starts beating again after CPR has been stopped

When everyone else had given up hope, Reno hadn’t. This dog refused to believe the officer was gone. Somehow, he sensed what even the doctors couldn’t—a spark of life.

Only two places are safe in a nuclear war, expert says

By

Monica Pop

-

Lately, international headlines have been focused on potential armed conflicts in parts of the word, raising the question: is there truly any place left that’s safe?

According to experts, the answer is yes. But these safe places aren’t bunkers or shelters as many may assume.

Annie Jacobsen, an investigative journalist and author, argues that if things go south and nuclear war breaks out, there are two places considered safe — New Zealand and Australia.

In case you wonder why, Jacobsen explains that in case of a nuclear war, the countries in the Southern Hemisphere would remain the only places capable of supporting agricultural life.

“Places like Iowa and Ukraine would be just snow for 10 years. So agriculture would fail and when agriculture fails, people just die,” she said an interview with Steven Bartlett for The Diary of a CEO podcast.

“On top of that, you have the radiation poisoning because the ozone layer will be so damaged and destroyed that you can’t be outside in the sunlight.

“People will be forced to live underground. So you have to imagine people living underground, fighting for food everywhere except for in New Zealand and Australia.”

Annie Jacobsen, an investigative journalist and author, argues that if things go south and nuclear war breaks out, there are two places considered to be safe — New Zealand and Australia. — YouTube

Further, Jacobsen cited a research from Professor Owen Toon in Nature Food. She stated, “Professor Toon and his team[…] sort of updated [the] nuclear winter idea based around food, and the number that they have is five billion people would be dead.”

According to experts, nuclear winter refers to the prolonged cooling after nuclear explosions ignite massive fires. This would lead to serious food shortages and hunger for people and animals alike.

Bartlett asked, “The population of the planet currently is what, eight billion?” and added: “So there’d be three billion people still alive. Where shall I go to be one of the three billion? I was just in New Zealand and Australia.”

Jacobsen replied: “That’s exactly where you’d go. According to Toon, those are the only places that could actually sustain agriculture.”

Also, Australia and New Zealand are geographically distant from the world’s major nuclear powers like US and Russia.

Woman shares four symptoms ‘ignored’ by doctors before being diagnosed with stage 4 cancer

By

Monica Pop

-

Despite experiencing awful symptoms for nearly a year, a woman named Hannah was “ignored” by her GP which eventually led to a diagnosis of stage 4 cancer that could have been caught early had her concerns not been dismissed for so long.

Jokingly, this young TikToker says she and her GP are “not the best of friends.”

Hannah uses her social media platform that she runs together with husband Charlie in order to raise awareness about the importance of seeking second opinion when experiencing symptoms that feel out of the ordinary.

In 2021, Hannah was told she had a 12cm tumor that was pushing on her spine.

“So I was medically gas-lit for over eight months which led to a late diagnosis of stage four cancer so no, me and my GP are not the best of friends,” she said and added that it should ‘never have got that far.’

Her symptoms started with a cough, a fully body rash, extreme fatigue, and weight loss which she taught was “a total slay at the time.”

“I was told to take antibiotics and come back if it doesn’t help – spoiler alert, it didn’t. I was refused an in-person appointment – pretty sure if there was a ‘hypochondriac button’ on their computer, they clicked it.”

As her symptoms worsened, she called her GP repeatedly but was only told to get some over the counter medicine.

During the winter, she developed pneumonia, as the tumor was ‘pushing on [her] chest.’ However, since she was ignored for so long, she just learned how to live with the pain until she ended up in the hospital with suspected heart attack.

Sadly, even more mistakes were made by medics who handled her situation.

The receptionist there “put [her] down as having period pains.”

Hannah shared on TikTok, “If that doesn’t just scream ‘misogyny’, I don’t know what does.”

At one point, a nurse spotted her and asked from the doctors there to see her. Eventually, they requested an X-ray that showed a massive shadow.

When they did a CT scan, it was revealed Hannah had stage 4 cancer.

From that moment on, Hannah has been receiving chemo and radiation treatments and is part of a clinical trial.

@thattravelcouple I was medically gaslit for 8 months… and it nearly cost me my life 👀🩺 I was dismissed with antibiotics, told I was dramatic, and refused scans, while a 12cm tumour was crushing my lungs and heart.

Influencer, 30, shares video announcing death weeks after birth of first child

By

-

Weeks after becoming a dad, influencer Tanner Martin shared an emotional farewell video announcing his death.

Tanner and wife Shay Martin became beloved social media stars after they started sharing Tanner’s journey following his terminal cancer diagnosis in 2020. They shared their bucket list of adventures and things to do while Tanner could still travel and do things.

The couple visited Disney World, renewed their vows, and vacationed in Mexico and Italy. They also met actor Mark Hamil who is playing the character of Luke Skywalker in Star Wars, Tanner’s favorite series.

Even in Tanner’s final video, a Star Wars quote makes its way into the caption that read: “May the force be with you from our angel force ghost.”

View this post on Instagram

A post shared by Shay Martin (@tannerandshay)

In the video he shared on Instagram with his 455,000 followers, Tanner said, “Hey, it’s me, Tanner. If you are watching this, I am dead,” adding that his final message will be ‘lighthearted.’

He explained that he decided to make a goodbye video a year ago, sharing that he had a ‘heck of a life.’

“Life was awesome. I really enjoyed it while I was here,” he shared.

“Hopefully, I believe there’s something after this. I’m excited to meet those people, and hopefully we’re hanging out now and making fun of all you nerds.”

Tanner received the devastating diagnosis of having colon cancer aged 25. He was given between two and five years left to live since his cancer was uncurable.

Over the course of four something years, Tanner had undergone several major surgeries and over 50 rounds of chemotherapy and radiation.

“I think it’s important to talk about death, especially for other people in my situation,” Tanner told People in October last year. “This is something you want to prep for. You don’t want your spouse to have to plan your funeral and maybe not even have enough money to do so.”

The couple welcomed daughter AmyLou on May 15, 2025 and explained their decision to embrace parenthood in a TikTok video.

@tannerandshay You’ll want to watch until the end…surprise!😭😭 #cancersucks #ivf #momsoftiktok #momtok #dadtok #viralvideo #fyp @@Michael Bublé ♬ I Get to Love You – Acoustic – Mysha Didi

“Cancer has taken so much from us. I know you wanted to be a dad so badly, but I got to see you be the best dog dad. We tried IVF and planned to have a baby, but sepsis and your cancer progressing prevented us. Until now.”

A number of followers left their tributes under his final video.

“The most special human. Rest in peace sweet Tanner. Sending love and prayers to everyone left behind, especially Shay and your beautiful baby girl,” one person wrote.

“Sending prayers to you and your little girl. Heaven just gained the best angel. Love you,” another added.

Americans weigh in on Trump’s deployment of National Guard in L.A.

By

After Trump vowed mass deportations, ICE carried out raids across the country, triggering protests in L.A and surrounding areas — While most protesters remained peaceful, certain incidents of violence prompted President Trump to deploy the National Guard to contain the unrest.

While Governor Gavin Newsom, a Democrat, and other local officials criticized Trump’s decision, claiming the deployment of the National Guard and the Marines could only made the situation worse, Trump defended his actions.

Taking to Truth Social, he wrote, “If I didn’t ‘SEND IN THE TROOPS‘ to Los Angeles the last three nights, that once beautiful and great City would be burning to the ground right now,” dubbing the protesters “insurrectionists.”

The Daily Signal reported that a poll conducted on June 9 showed that of those who responded — a sample of 1,000 registered voters — 58% expressed support for the administration’s actions, including 34% who said they “strongly favor” them. Meanwhile, 37% opposed the policies, and 15% remained undecided.

Regarding deportation, the public’s opinion is divided. 36% believe the administration has gone too far with deportations, 25% say it’s about right, and 30% think it hasn’t gone far enough.

Support splits along party lines: 86% of Republicans, 26% of Democrats, and 45% of independents approve.

— Tony Kinnett (@TheTonus) June 10, 2025

A federal judge ruled Trump’s actions illegal and ordered control of the National Guard returned to Newsom.

However, an appeals court temporarily halted that order.

U.S. District Judge Charles R. Breyer stated that Trump’s actions “were illegal—both exceeding the scope of his statutory authority and violating the Tenth Amendment to the United States Constitution.

“He must therefore return control of the California National Guard to the Governor of the State of California forthwith.”

Leaving the hospital should’ve brought relief—But it didn’t

By

Monica Pop

-

Leaving the hospital after weeks spent there should’ve brought a feeling of relief, but it didn’t. Instead, I feared for the future and for what awaited me and my sweet girl who grinned behind her mask and waved goodbye to the nurses who became our second family.

The truth was that we had nowhere to go. During the long hospital stay, I wasn’t able to work because Callie needed constant care during her chemo treatments, and while my boss said they understood my situation, they stopped calling.

With Callie’s dad long out of the picture and no family member by our side, I hadn’t been able to pay rent for months.

And now, when my girl was finally cancer-free, I couldn’t tell her we had no home to go to.

Seeing Callie smile, I smiled back and let her believe that everything was fine.

Before leaving the hospital, she chose a balloon she liked, and although I barely had any money, I bought it for her—yet the feeling of relief was still completely absent.

And then, as we walked through the lobby, two police officers approach us.

I panicked, but then one of the nurses tried to calm me down, saying, “Don’t worry. They are here to help.”

I wasn’t sure what was going on, but something deep down told me things could get better for me and my girl.

The officers told us they were taking us to a “temporary placement,” and before long, we found ourselves standing in front of a house where a woman, Mrs. Harper, greeted us.

The officers said they were leaving us in safe hands and handed me an envelope before they left.

When I opened it, there was a key inside and a note that read, “This isn’t charity. It is my way to mend things with you and my niece.”

It was from my brother, Dereck, whom I hadn’t seen in more than 14 years. Somehow, he learned of my financial struggles and Callie’s health condition and wanted to be there for us—no strings attached.

I started crying tears of joy. After all those years, Dereck hadn’t forgotten about me.

Mr. Harper turned to me and said, “He’s a good man. He asked me to look after you both.”

Over time, my brother reached out more. He and his family became part of Callie’s life.

This experience taught me that no matter how hard things get, family always sticks together despite all the feuds and misunderstandings.

The White House Rose Garden is almost unrecognizable now

By

Monica Pop

-

Amid renovations on the grounds of the White House under Trump’s second presidency, the Rose Garden — considered by many a sacred ground — looks almost unrecognizable.

Donald Trump and First Lady Melania Trump began the alterations on June 9, with the president saying, “You know, we use [the Rose Garden] for press conferences, and it doesn’t work because the people fall.”

He added: “The terrain can be wet, and the soft ground can be an issue for some. Women, with the high heels, it just didn’t work.”

Recent photos from the area shared online show the grass center square of the Rose Garden completely gone.

Instead, there are now layers of gravel and a bunch of construction equipment nearby.

The only greenery that is still intact are the original hedges along the borders.

A White House official commented on the ongoing renovations, dubbing the process a “restoration” aimed at improving functionality and honoring tradition.

However, that’s not what the public believes the project to be. Instead, a number of people took to the social media to blast Trump and Melania.

The Rose Garden in 1988 / The U.S. National Archives

“To remove Kennedy’s Rose Garden is removing a piece of our White House history. And for a patio,” one person posted on X.

“White House Rose Garden gone. Absolutely crazy,” another user posted.

This isn’t the first time such outrage has surfaced. Back in 2020, during Trump’s first presidency, Melania made changes to the Rose Garden.

She was forced to break her usual silence and defend her decision.

“The Rose Garden is graced with a healthy & colorful blossoming of roses,” her public statement read. “Decades of use and necessary changes made to support the modern presidency have taken a toll on the garden and have made it more difficult to appreciate the elegant symmetry of the Mellon plan,” it added.

New York Times columnist Charles M. Blow was among the critics of Melania’s changes, dubbing her vision “grim.”

According to the Associated Press, there will be other changes to the White House as well. They reported that plans are underway for a new ballroom and two giant flagpoles—one each for the North and South Lawns.

Trump bragged about covering the expenses of the renovations himself.

“They’ve needed flagpoles for 200 years,” he told reporters in April.

On June 18, Trump was spotted steps from the Rose Garden, supervising the work and talking to the construction workers.

Young man saves child locked inside a car – faces unexpected reaction

By

Monica Pop

-

The day was as hot as it gets during the peak of summer. There were barely any people on the streets when Oliver finished work and headed home. The 30 degrees Celsius heat made it unbearable for anyone to function properly.

The air shimmered, the asphalt radiated heat into his feet.

As he was trying to get home as soon as possible, a sudden crying made him stop.

Near the supermarket, in the middle of the empty parking lot, there was a parked car with a small child locked inside.

The car’s windows were dark and tinted, and as he approached and took a closer look, he realized the child, who was obviously extremely hot and struggling because of the high temperatures, was no older than a year.

His face was red and his eyes were barely opened. The boy’d lips were cracked from thirst.

Oliver didn’t hesitate when he tried opening the car’s door. But it was locked, just like the rest of them. He screamed for help, but the parking lot was empty and no one heard his cries.

Scared for the boy’s well-being, he decided to act.

Nearby, there was a stone he could use to break the car’s window, and although an inner voice told him to call emergency service and wait for them to arrive, he was afraid it could be too late, so he did what he believed was for the best and broke the window, taking the child out.

Oliver rushed the little one to the nearest hospital. He was running so fast with the child in his arms that when he finally arrived, he didn’t feel his legs.

“HELP!” he shouted, and a nurse ran over.

“The child… in the car… heat… he…” Oliver barely managed to say.

When they looked at the boy, the doctors said he took him out of the hot vehicle just in time. Had the little one stayed inside even minutes longer, the consequences could be fatal.

But around fifteen minutes later, the boy’s mother arrived. When she learned it was Oliver who took the baby out of her fancy car, instead of thanking him for acting quickly, she was outraged over the broken glass.

“I was away for a few minutes only and you broke my car’s window. I demand you to pay for the damage, otherwise, I’m calling the police,” she threatened.

Oliver couldn’t believe — even minutes were a lot of time for a child to be locked inside a car during the unbearable heat.

When the police arrived, she pointed towards Oliver and said, “This man is crazy. He broke into my car.”

The officers questioned Oliver and spoke to the doctors who confirmed that the boy was severely dehydrated and on the verge of suffering from heatstroke.

Then they turned to the mother and said, “Madam, you are looking at potential loss of parental rights and criminal charges for endangering this child’s life.”

As of Oliver, they praised his action and dubbed it heroic.

But Oliver didn’t want praise. He also didn’t want the mother to be punished. He only did what he believed to be the right thing at the time.

Three major US regions could face mega tsunami, experts warn

By

Monica Pop

-

Experts issued a warning about a massive 8.0-magnitude earthquake that could strike parts of the US in the next 50 years — the first in over 300 years. The possible waves created could reach 1,000-foot, threatening to wash away entire communities.

The warnings of a “mega tsunami” striking US regions have been made by Virginia Tech and published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.

The earthquake could occur along the Cascadia subduction zone — a 600-mile convergent plate boundary that extends from northern California to southern British Columbia.

Alaska, Hawaii, and the West Coast all said to be at risk due to their proximity to unstable volcanoes, landslide-prone areas, and earthquake zones, Mail Online reports.

Further, the study suggests that it could cause coastal land to sink up to 6.5 feet.

“The expansion of the coastal floodplain following a Cascadia subduction zone earthquake has not been previously quantified, and the impacts to land use could significantly increase the timeline to recovery,” Tina Dura, lead author of the study and assistant professor in Virginia Tech’s Department of Geosciences, said in a statement.

During the last mega-wave event that affected these areas in 1700, the land sank, and dead trees that form “ghost forests” along the Pacific Northwest coast stand as silent witnesses to the catastrophe.

According to the US Geological Survey, one of the biggest earthquakes they have a record of is the Great Alaska Earthquake that occurred in 1964. It was with a magnitude of 9.2.

If such a destructive quake hit today, the prognosis are that “14,350 residents, 22,500 structures, and 777 miles of roadway would fall within the post-earthquake floodplain,” according to Dura.

“Preparing for these compound hazards can minimise long-term damage, ensure resilient communities, and protect critical coastal ecosystems from permanent degradation. Our findings aim to support decision-makers and coastal residents in the Cascadia Subduction Zone—and globally—as they brace for the combined challenges of seismic activity and climate-driven changes,” the research continued.

The predictions are that by the year 2100, sea levels will rise by another three feet, which will further increase the risk of tsunami damage to US regions.

Barron Trump has a new girlfriend, source claims

By

Monica Pop

-

With Donald Trump taking the Oval Office, his son, Barron Trump, would again be moving to Washington D.C.

The youngest of the mogul’s offspring continued his studies at Stern Business School at New York University, and that’s more or less what the public knows about him. Barron, just like his mother, has kept his private life out of the public eye despite the media’s attempts to learn more about him.

During his stay at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, Barron was barely seen, except for the handful occasions when he was pictured entering or exiting a helicopter on the White House lawn. When the family left the presidential palace and moved to their Mar-A-Lago residence in Florida, Barron was shielded from the public even more.

But now, details of his days at Oxbridge Academy emerged. Allegedly, the Secret Service followed him at all times. They even stayed in front of the classroom while he attended lessons and escorted him to the bathroom.

Barron was said to have been registered at the school under the name Jack.

This was due to the risks of hackers accessing records of his data and grades.

A former student spoke to the Daily Mail about Barron, saying that the young Trump had his meals separately from the other students and wasn’t involved in any sports. They added that it was a pity he didn’t get to enjoy student life to the fullest, unlike the rest of his classmates.

“Barron was very funny and sociable. He would start the most random conversations and could be very entertaining,” the friend told the Mail.

“He was also very mysterious, he never attended football games or dances. I don’t think he met up with anyone outside of school or went on dates. If he had a girlfriend, it was top secret we never knew about it.”

The friend concluded: “I’m sure he had fun in his own way but it was a bit of a shame that he didn’t get to have a normal high school life like everyone else.”

The friend spoke of Barron’s first shots at finding love.

Rumors are that the president’s son has been dating a model.

His father, Donald Trump, however, appeared on the PBD Podcast, where he stated that Barron has never had a girlfriend to his knowledge. He added that his son is a social guy who “doesn’t mind being alone, but he gets along with people,”

“I’m not sure he’s there yet,” Trump said. “I don’t think he’s had a girlfriend yet.”

However, when Barron was still attending school in New York, he was allegedly dating a girl named Maddie, who took to TikTok to share why the two broke up.

The TikToker posted a photo of herself at the Oval Office, taken during a tour all of Barron classmates took when Trump became a president for the first time, and posed alongside the Trumps. She captioned the photo, “For those asking, I went to school with Barron Trump, and he was my first BF. When Trump was elected he brought the entire class to the White House. We gotta save my bae!”

According to a video she posted on her social media, this alleged girlfriend and Barron Trump broke up when he transferred to another school, calling him “the best” and “the nicest.”

At the time Donald and his family moved to the White House, Barron was excited to invite his friends to a sleepover, as per the NY Daily News.

“Barron has been asking some of his school friends to come visit him in the White House,” the report stated. “He has said to his parents, ‘I hope there are bedrooms for my friends to come visit.’”

“Kids at his school are already planning sleepovers,” a source told the NY Daily News, referring to the Upper West Side’s Columbia Grammar and Preparatory School.

Around 80 of Barron’s school friends attended the tour. They were accompanied by their teachers and members of the Secret Service. The friends also toured DC and stayed at a hotel overnight before returning to New York. Of course, they also met the president himself.

“They had a buffet lunch and a tour of the White House and met the president and the first lady, Melania Trump. President Trump gave them all a rousing speech about living up to your potential and being the best you could be for your country. Barron was really sweet. He was so excited to show his classmates around the White House,” the source continued.

Most recently, it has been reported by some media outlets that Barron was seen in the company of model Klara Jones, two years his senior. The two have been seen together at events during the last couple of months, Elle reported.

As of now, the news hasn’t been confirmed.

When I met Zoe, she was scared and confused. It turned out she had lost her memory and had no recollections from her past life, but she had started over and learned how to live her life again.

She only knew she’d survived a car crash eight years ago and that many doctors tried to help her regain her lost memory but they all failed over and over again.

Over time, we became close and started a relationship, tying the knot eventually.

Zoe became a published author and some of her books became bestsellers.

Our life seemed picture perfect, until the truth about her past was revealed.

When the manager of the company I worked for got fired, a new boss—Michael—from out of state joined the company.

He was nice enough to organize a get-to-know party for the employees where a plus-one was welcomed to attend. Of course, I brought Zoe with me not knowing the event would change our lives forever.

When I introduced Zoe to Michael, he stared at her as though he had seen a ghost. After a couple of seconds, he managed to utter, “Stella?”

Zoe seemed confused. She stared back at him without saying a word as Michael proceeded. “Stella, we’ve been looking for you for eight years. You’ve been here this entire time?”

I stood there frozen. My wife’s past cracked open right in front of us.

However, Zoe didn’t recognize Michael, or at least that’s what she claimed.

Before I was able to ask more questions, other people joined in, and moments later, I spotted Zoe talking to Michael. I approached them, making sure they don’t see I was there when I heard her say, “Please Michael, don’t tell anyone you’ve found me. I have started my life over, please don’t ruin this for me.”

And that’s when I realized that Zoe knew exactly who she was.

I couldn’t keep quiet and confronted her. She started crying and explained that her lost memory returned some two years ago, and she was too scared to share that with me, not wanting her past life to affect our present.

It turned out that when she got involved in the crash, she was together with her ex-boyfriend who was abusive. In fact, when the police found her, he wasn’t by her side but left her there to die.

Michael confirmed her story.

At that moment, my wife, the person I loved and trusted unconditionally, felt like a perfect stranger.

But I loved her for who she was, and I was willing to protect her from her past no matter what. I promised to never let anyone hurt her ever again.

This felt like a yet new beginning for the both of us.

Trump shows off ‘wrinkled and bruised hands’ amid health fear

By

Monica Pop

-

Despite being 79, President Donald Trump is said to be in great shape—at least according to Dr. Sean Barbabella, who performed Trump’s first physical examination, which also included a cognitive assessment, since his return to the White House.

“President Trump exhibits excellent cognitive and physical health and is fully fit to execute the duties of the Commander-in-Chief and Head of State,” Barbabella wrote in his report regarding the test results. “He remains in excellent health, exhibiting robust cardiac, pulmonary, neurological, and general physical function.

“His active lifestyle continues to contribute significantly to his well-being.”

Dr. Barbabella also shared that the president had underwent a colonoscopy in 2024 after discovering he had diverticulitis and a benign polyp. Trump was also reported to be taking medications for cholesterol and cardiac protection, in addition to a cream for a “skin condition.”

According to Barbabella, Trump had bilateral cataract surgery at some point.

Despite this, fears over Trump and his health emerged when the public spotted his hands being bruised during several occasions.

These fears were, however, dismissed by the White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt who claimed the bruises were a result of a lot of handshakes.

“President Trump has bruises on his hand because he’s constantly working and shaking hands all day every day.”

The president himself confirmed this in his interview with Time Magazine.

However, since recent photos of Trump’s hands showed visible bruises and wrinkles yet again, speculations arose.

According to Dr. Ola Otulana, a general practitioner and doctor at the Cassiobury Court rehabilitation facility in Watford, the bruise on the president’s right hand seems “consistent with a superficial contusion.” This means it can be a result of “minor trauma” like bumping into something, or possibly from having blood drawn.

“This could happen from something as commonplace as bumping the hand against a hard surface, repeated pressure like leaning on a cane or gripping something firmly, or even medical procedures like venepuncture or blood draw,” Dr. Otulana said, per Economic Times.

The doctor does not rule out the possibility that Trump’s bruises could be due to medications such as blood thinners, aspirin, and other anti-inflammatory drugs.

These medications could “make bruises appear more easily and linger longer, which could be the case here.” He, however, states that the condition with the president’s hands shouldn’t raise red flags.

Trump’s bruised hands aren’t the only fear the public has regarding his health. Recently, during the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) that he attended, people claimed he was wearing a catheter under his suit.

Avoid these common mistakes when drinking water

By

Monica Pop

-

The human’s body is made up of about 60% water on average. This percentage wary based on age, sex, and body composition.

In order for your body to function properly and efficiently, you need to keep it hydrated.

Water is crucial for most bodily functions, including controlling body temperature, aiding digestion, and facilitating the movement of nutrients and waste in and out of cells.

Throughout the day, the body loses water through sweat, urine, breath, and body movements. So, it is essential to take enough water in order to make up for these loses.

Otherwise, it can lead to dehydration.

But what if your water drinking habits are poor, insufficient, or simply wrong?

Experts advise drinking at least eight to ten glasses of water per day. However, the quantity you consume isn’t the sole factor to consider. In fact, knowing the right way to drink water is essential for achieving the best health benefits.

1. Drinking water while standing

According to Ayurveda, considered by many scholars the oldest healing science, you should avoid drinking water while standing because that way it goes to your lower belly, not reaching the organs.

“One’s nerves get tensed while drinking water when standing. It can disturb the fluid balance, and cause indigestion,” says Dr Pritam Moon, a consultant physician.

2. Drinking too much water

If you believed there is no such a thing like too much water, you are wrong. In fact, consuming too much water can lead to hyponatremia, a condition when the sodium level in your blood drops too low. Symptoms include dizziness, nausea, vomiting, headache and confusion.

Also, drinking too much water can cause swelling of the heart and the brain, as well as seizures and coma.

3. Consuming water too quickly

Since the body needs time to adjust to the temperature of the water, drinking it too quickly will prevent the body to do so which can lead to stomach cramps and nausea.

4. Drinking water during meals

While water is essential for your body, consuming it during meals can sometimes cause bloating and indigestion. This is because the stomach may struggle to digest both solids and liquids at the same time.

5. Having ice-cold water

Ice-cold water may interfere with proper digestion. Although a glass of cold water sounds refreshing, especially during the hot summer days, it may shock the digestive system, tighten the blood vessels, and even slow down the heart rate.

In addition, it forces your body to work harder in order to regain balance.

It would be for the best to choose room temperature water instead.

Stage 4 cancer patient warns overlooked minor signs can mask a fatal disease

By

Monica Pop

-

Susan Schmidt, a mother of two from Australia, was dealt a huge blow when diagnosed with stage 4 bowel cancer after she overlooked the mild symptoms. She’s now sharing her story in hopes of helping others catch the disease that turned her world upside down early.

When she received the devastating diagnosis in September 2023, Susan was 45.

“The diagnosis is incurable,” she shared with The Daily Mail. “The goal now is to stay well for as long as I can. I’ll probably resume chemotherapy after my next overseas trip.”

According to Susan, people don’t tend to speak openly about their bowel habits since the topic is still considered taboo, but she believes that needs to change in order to help raise awareness.

“I didn’t talk about my bowel habits, who does?” she said. “That’s part of the problem with bowel cancer. People don’t raise the alarm early enough.”

Recalling the symptoms she experienced before learning she had stage 4 bowel cancer, Susan said that such diagnosis never crossed her mind.

What she experienced was fatigue, constipation, and two really intense episodes of pain. She added that she had never noticed blood in her stool.

The first sign she experienced was unrelenting tiredness. This happened just four months before her diagnosis.

“I’d drive my daughter 15 minutes to rowing, then have to stop on the way home and nap for 40 minutes,” Susan, who worked as physiotherapist recalled. “That’s not normal. That was a warning sign, but I brushed it off.”

A post shared by Susan Schmidt (@soozieschmidt)

Later on, during a trip to France for a friend’s wedding, she experienced constipation for the first time in her life.

“I just wasn’t going properly. I blamed the rich food, too much cheese, too much indulgence.” She added: “I didn’t think much of it.”

The symptoms worsened after she returned to Brisbane when she “ended up on the bathroom floor in absolute agony. Vomiting, diarrhoea, unbearable pain. It lasted for eight hours.”

Initially, she believed she caught salmonella from her horse that had the infection.

“It was worse than childbirth. I was crawling into the shower, trying to relieve the pain with heat. It was a nine out of ten on the pain scale,” she told The Daily Mail.

When she visited the hospital, they weren’t looking for cancer, and she was told she was fine. But it wasn’t long after that she was told she had stage 4 bowel cancer.

“I want people to know the signs. I want them to push for answers if something feels off,” she said. “Even if your blood work is normal, even if they say it’s stress, diet, or hormones, listen to your instincts.”

Susan has since launched The Floozie Foundation, whose goal is “to build the resilience of patients and their support networks in adult cancer wards around Australia.”

Who could be drafted? Inside US draft rules if global war breaks out

By

Monica Pop

-

Amid Middle East unrest and the US strikes on three nuclear sites—Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan—on June 21 in what has been dubbed “Operation Midnight Hammer,” Google searches for “World War III” and “U.S. draft rule and age” have spiked, reflecting growing concerns about potential military conscription.

While the US currently has no active draft, it remains on standby under federal law and can be activated in cases of a national emergency.

Following the Vietnam War, US abolished military conscription in January 1973.

A recent survey by the Atlantic Council shows that 69% of responders believe a war between powerful nations may take place within the next ten years.

Since three generations of Americans have not been required to serve in the military, many of them are unfamiliar with the nation’s draft procedures.

First to be drafted are men aged twenty. Additional drafts would include those turning 21 to 25, followed by 19- and 18-year-olds if more troops were needed. Over 16 million men 18–25 are registered, while 1.3 million currently serve.

The Selective Service includes citizens, non-citizens, refugees, asylum seekers, transgender people assigned male at birth, as well as men with disabilities.

The only exemptions from the US draft apply to men who, before turning 18, are placed in long-term care or confined at home with medical assistance, remaining so without interruption until turning 26.

Further, ministers, certain elected officials, and some dual nationals are also exempted from the draft, while those who are in college can ask their service to be postponed.

In case of change of law, women can be drafted too.

Draft registrations are handled by the Selective Service website and post offices. The registration is mandatory by age 18. Failure to register may result in felony charges, maximum penalties of five years in jail, and fines of $250,000.

According to expert, these felony convictions can lead to losing the right to vote and possess a firearms, and losing eligibility for government employment and federal student financial aid.

Possible drafts require Congressional approval by amending the Military Selective Service Act.

Bruce Willis’ daughter Rumer shares heartbreaking message

By

In an emotional Father’s Day message, Bruce Willis’ daughter, Rumer Willis, shared an update on her father’s battle with frontotemporal dementia.

The Die Hard star received the devastating diagnosis in 2023. A year prior, the family shared that he suffered from aphasia, a condition that affected his cognitive abilities. With the diagnosis came the news of his retiring from acting.

His family provided him with extreme support and has been updating his fans of Bruce’s condition regularly.

Expressing her pain, Rumer wrote “Today is hard, I feel a deep ache in my chest to talk to you and tell you everything I’m doing and what’s going on in my life.

“To hug you and ask you about life and your stories and struggles and successes. I wish I asked you more questions while you could still tell me about it all.”

Her message to her father continued: “But I know you wouldn’t want me to be sad today so I’ll try to just be grateful reminding myself how lucky I am that you’re my dad and that you’re still with me and I can still hold you and hug you and kiss your cheek and rub your head I can tell you stories.

“I can watch the way your eyes light up when you see Louetta I will be grateful for every moment I have with you. I love you so much dad happy Father’s Day. Sending love to all those who are in the boat with me or have lost their fathers, to the single moms who are the dads too, to my future baby daddy…❤️”

Willis’ wife, Emma Heming Willis, also paid tribute to the actor on Father’s Day.

Since her husband’s diagnosis, Emma took on the role of advocate, offering honest glimpses into the powerful highs and crushing lows of their new normal.

Back in 2024, Emma shared with Town & Country: “As his language started changing, it (seemed like it) was just a part of a stutter, it was just Bruce. Never in a million years would I think it would be a form of dementia for someone so young.

“I say that FTD whispers, it doesn’t shout. It’s hard for me to say, this is where Bruce ended, and this is where his disease started to take over.”

The dog named Hope who changed my life

By

Monica Pop

-

When I went to the hardware store that slow weeknight when the aisles are half-stocked to grab some duck tape and some batteries, I never assumed a sudden encounter would change my life forever.

As I was walking along the aisles, I spotted a dog. Just sitting. Calm. Perfectly still.

There was a leash stretching on the floor, looking as though someone dropped it and walked off.

I tried to look for the owner, but there was no one around. After ten minutes passed, I figured I should take the dog—whose name, Hope, was written on a tag with no number or address—to the front desk and ask if anyone had reported a missing dog.

When the cashier spotted Hope, she said, “I guess she doesn’t have an owner. She comes to the store every now and then and we simply let her in. Never with anyone. Just… appears. And waits.”

I got curious. “Wait for what?” I asked.

The cashier shrugged. But then she said something that sent a chill down my spine.

“I believe she waits for her owner who will never show up. You know how dogs are. They wait until forever, and never get tired.”

Hope’s owner either left her behind or passed away, and she was still waiting for them to appear and take her home.

At that moment, my heart broke into a million pieces.

That evening, I took the dog home, and Hope settled into my couch as though she had always belonged there.

The following day, I made flyers, half hoping that no one will come forward.

Over the following days, Hope started transforming my life. My mornings grew calmer, and my nights quieter. She provided me with the peace and purpose I didn’t even know I need.

Some two weeks later, Hope left the house and I followed after her. Not surprisingly, she headed towards the hardware store where I found her and sat by the door.

As I approached closer, I noticed something on the nearby bulletin board. There was a photo of a woman with Hope. It read, “In Loving Memory of Maria Ellison, 1974–2025. She always believed in second chances.”

Hope wasn’t lost. She had been returning to that place honoring someone who meant everything to her; someone she loved and never forgot.

Today, Hope and I have a mission—volunteering and helping people heal emotionally.

Pray for George Strait!

Country music icon George Strait suffered the loss of two very special individuals saying he “won’t ever be the same.”

Posting on the social media, Strait, 71, shared his tributes to his “treasured” band member, Gene Elders, and his manager of 45 years, Ervine “Erv” Woolsey. The two music legends died within hours of each other, leaving Strait heartbroken.

“Hard to believe we lost two of our music family members on the same day. Our Ace In the Hole treasured band member Gene Elders passed away yesterday afternoon shortly after we lost Erv,” Strait wrote. “All of our prayers go out to both families. Me and the band won’t ever be the same without our brother Gene. We loved him so much. Go play with Mike again Geno. We’ll come join you guys later.”

A post shared by George Strait (@georgestrait)

Elders, a native of Austin, Texas, had been with Strait’s Ace In the Hole band since 1984. He played the fiddle and mandolin for Strait and had previously been with Lyle Lovett’s Large Band for 11 years.

Strait’s manager and “most importantly my friend for even longer” was one of the most renowned managers in Nashville, Tennessee.

According to Strait’s post, Woolsey died due to complications from surgery despite fighting hard. “He had complications from a surgery and just couldn’t overcome it. He was a very tough man, and fought hard, but sadly it was just too much,” the singer wrote.

A post shared by George Strait (@georgestrait)

Strait’s fans shared their condolences. “I can’t believe it. So many great ones, so many years of bringing us wonderful music. Thinking of you all 🙏🏻,” one fan wrote. “I loved listening to his fiddle playing during your songs,” another added.

Kyle Young, CEO of the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum, also celebrated Ervine’s legacy, acknowledging his contributions to the careers of numerous country artists, including Lee Ann Womack, Dierks Bentley, and Clay Walker.

“Without the savvy and determination of Erv Woolsey, we may never have heard of George Strait,” he told Variety. “Erv heard Strait in a Texas bar in 1975 and was an immediate fan and proponent, when others said the singer sounded too traditional.

As an MCA Records exec, Erv pushed to sign Strait in 1981 and supported his refusal to change his image or sound. Strait went on to become a superstar, revitalizing country music’s traditions.

“All of us owe Erv Woolsey an enormous debt of gratitude for leading with his convictions and always supporting artists and new talent,” Young added.

Our thoughts and prayers go to George Strait and the grieving families of his two longtime friends.

Scientists warn: Poop sign could signal risks of imminent death

By

Monica Pop

-

Our stool can tell a lot about our health. Keeping potty talk off-limits may keep things polite, but it may also mean missing out on crucial health insights.

The way your poop looks indicates whether you include enough fiber in your diet, whether you drink enough water, and whether your digestive system works the way it should.

Dr Rhianna McClymont, Lead GP at Livi, says, “It’s important to normalise talking about poo, because issues with it can indicate a problem in the digestive tract. If it’s something serious, it’s crucial to catch it early.”

According to researchers, certain bathroom habits may affect our health. One of them — probably the one most of us practice — is spending long time on the loo while scrolling through our phones.

Alexander de Porto of the University of Chicago and the University of Amsterdam and his team of experts developed the metabolic dysbiosis score (MDS), a novel biomarker index based on the levels of 13 key fecal metabolites—the chemical byproducts of digestion.

It can help gauge the risk of mortality within 30 days.

“The findings suggest that fecal metabolic dysbiosis, quantified through the MDS, holds potential as a biomarker to identify critically ill patients at increased risk of mortality,” de Porto and his colleagues, Eric Pamer and Bhakti Patel of the University of Chicago, told ScienceAlert.

“This underscores the importance of gut-derived metabolites as independent contributors to host resilience, offering an avenue for precision medicine.”

As explained by the Cleveland Clinic, dysbiosis refers to “an imbalance in the different types of microscopic organisms living in your body.”

Symptoms like bloating, gas, and irregular bowel movements often point to gut dysbiosis which can lead to bacterial infections or chronic inflammatory conditions such as Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis.

It doesn’t just affect digestion. In fact, since the gut is connected to the brain, the nervous system can also be impacted.

Currently, researchers are trying to validate MDS in different patients, which will allow them to better understand the potential links between dysbiosis and the increased mortality risk.

‘Major shifts’ ahead for Prince William and Kate, reveals insider

By

Monica Pop

-

The British royals have been through a lot during the last year or so. From Kate Middleton’s cancer diagnosis and the rumors surrounding her health condition, to King Charles dealing with cancer himself, there has been an outpouring of public sympathy and media scrutiny.

When Kate Middleton made her first public appearance at the Trooping of Colour, a special event that celebrated the king’s official birthday, the public felt relieved. It was a sign that the beloved Princess is returning to her royal engagements and the public life.

However, although time has passed, Kate seems to be finding it hard to balance between her private and public life. Her name appeared on the carriage list for the Royal Ascot where she was to have joined William in the second carriage. They later confirmed that she would join King Charles and Queen Camilla instead, according to People.

Kate has always been a much-loved member of the royal family, not only by the public, but also by the royals themselves.

Her relationship with her father-in-law has been a close one since the start.

However, according to Christopher Andersen, author of The King, this doesn’t mean Charles — or Camilla, for that matter — would advise the Princess of Wales on how to be a queen when the time comes.

“King Charles was so impressed with her grace and grit that he bestowed a singular honor on Kate, making her a Royal Companion of Honour, an unmistakable sign of his faith in her ability to help carry the monarchy forward,” he told Fox in early 2025.

“But beyond that, the king is not about to be giving Kate advice about being a future queen. That would simply give oxygen to the notion that he might not be around much longer, and Charles III intends to stay put on the throne for years to come.”

(Photo by Neil Mockford/GC Images)

Broadcaster Helena Chard says that she’s absolutely certain that King Charles believes Kate would a wonderful queen.

“King Charles is comforted by the fact that Princess Catherine puts family first and wouldn’t want it any other way. The well-being of the future heirs is paramount. He knows that when the time comes, she will seamlessly transition into the perfect future queen,” she told Fox.

Kate Middleton attending this year’s Trooping the Colour with her family sent a clear message that there’s no need to worry about the monarchy’s future.

Both William and Kate appeared very confident, and according to the former royal butler Grant Harrold, “It was lovely to see a very modern approach to the Royal Family and Trooping the Colour.”

“Kate looked amazing, she took it in her stride and did everyone proud. She looked radiant and back where she should be—at the forefront of the Royal Family,” Harrold added.

Kate is still not back to her regular schedule, but according to a friend of the couple, she and William seem to have a plan in place. Although it could take years before William becomes king, the couple are preparing for “shifts” in the coming months, the friend said.

The friend told People that “some major shifts coming behind the scenes,” adding that both Kate and William are establishing their own team in anticipation of their ascension.

“They are really finessing what works and what doesn’t,” the friend added.

If you can find the donkey in the picture, your eyesight is sharp

Who doesn’t love optical illusions? I know I enjoy them because they are the perfect way of keeping yourself entertained during a work break or when you feel bored and feel like doing nothing.

Before we present you with today’s optical illusion, let us share a fun story with you.

John and Sarah were a married couple living in a bustling city. John, however, was very forgetful, something perfectionist Sarah found very much annoying.

She hated the fact that John never remembered what he needed to do, and one time, when he forgot the desert for the party Sarah organized, she called him a “jacka**.”

John didn’t get mad, but decided to play along. He grabbed a pair of donkey ears and started braying like a donkey. This made his wife laugh and forget about the desert.

From that moment on, Sarah would call him “donkey” lovingly and he would occasionally don his donkey ears and make her laugh.

At a family gathering, John decided to take the “joke” to the next level and appeared all dressed up in a donkey costume. Everyone was stunned at first, but then they all started laughing, creating a fun and loving memory to cherish.

And now, speaking of donkeys, can you spot the donkey in the photo below?

At first glance, this image might look simple — maybe even a little confusing.

But hidden somewhere in the details is a surprise that not everyone spots right away.

If you manage to spot it, it means your eyesight is sharp and you are good at spotting details.

Before we take a closer look and find out exactly where the donkey was hiding all along, here’s a tip — turn the screen upside down.

Never keep these 4 relics after losing a loved one

By

Monica Pop

-

Losing a loved one is one of life’s hardest moments. Sadly, with the loss comes weight of grief that can be overwhelming.

Often times, when we face such a loss, we find ourselves grasping for anything that feels close to the person we lost — especially their relics.

It’s only human to hold on, but the truth is that not every belonging of the deceased provides comfort.

Some things that they left behind, like that folded sweater, the book with their notes in the margins, or their favorite mug can quietly keep our grief and pain alive and make it harder to move on.

Here are four relics you may consider letting go, not in order to forget, but to make space for the healing process to begin.

Reminders of painful moments

No matter how hard we try too keep every memory alive, we are very well aware that not every memory is a happy one.

Pill bottles, medications, a blanket they used during the sleepless nights, or even a walker they relied on during their last days can be reminders of the painful moments of the life of the person we lost, so it may be for the best to take them out of your home.

Unfinished projects

The things our loved ones worked on, whatever it might be, can constantly raise the question of “what could have been in they were still alive.” Having those unfinished projects close could weigh you down and keep you trapped in sadness.

Instead of holding onto them, gift them to someone who can complete them and give them a new purpose.

Clothing

The clothes our loved one once wore are likely to still have that familiar scent that we miss so much. And no matter how comforting that feels, the truth is that keeping the clothes of the person who died can prevent us from accepting the reality of their absence.

Favorite Items

While the favorite items of a loved one who is no longer around are treasured possessions, they can also add an additional burden to the healing process.

Keeping one or two relics to remember the deceased is perfectly fine, but hoarding their belongings can lead to overwhelming psychological distress.

We shouldn’t forget that the most precious gifts from those we lose are the moments and love we carry forward.

The link between ovarian and breast cancer

By

Monica Pop

-

Ovarian and breast cancer are among the most common types of cancer affecting women. Although they develop in different parts of the body, scientists agree that the two can be biologically connected — particularly through genetics.

A clear connection between these two cancers is the presence of mutations of in the BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes.

According to the American Cancer Society, women diagnosed with breast cancer may have an increased risk of developing ovarian cancer.

In fact, those with breast cancer are twice as likely to develop ovarian cancer at some point in their life.

The link between ovarian and breast cancer. — Cleveland Clinic

Research suggests that women who carry a BRCA1 mutation have up to a 72% lifetime risk of breast cancer and up to a 44% risk of ovarian cancer.

Those with a BRCA2 mutation face up to a 69% risk of breast cancer and a 17% risk of ovarian cancer.

Either parent can pass down these genetic mutations through generations, which is why having a family history of either cancer can increase your personal risk—even if no relative has had both types.

Women coming from families where most of the females have had any of these two forms of cancer may consider testing for BRCA mutations.

Understanding your genetic makeup can offer a more targeted approach to cancer prevention and early detection in collaboration with your healthcare provider.

Other shared factors are older age, obesity, never carrying a pregnancy to term or never falling pregnant, and long-term use of hormone replacement therapy after menopause.

Some women try to lower their cancer risk through preventive (prophylactic) surgeries, such as a mastectomy (removal of the breasts) or an oophorectomy (removal of the ovaries and fallopian tubes).

For some high-risk individuals, doctors may prescribe medications like tamoxifen to help reduce the chances of developing breast cancer.
