As the popularity of drugs used for weight loss continues to explode, a new study is shedding light on which drug is most effective for weight loss. Mounjaro, a drug with the main active ingredient tirzepatide, was found to be more helpful in helping people lose weight and maintain their weight loss, according to a study published Monday in JAMA Internal Medicine.

What's better for weight loss, Mounjaro or Ozempic? New study provides answer

It may take a few hours or days to reach Mounjaro’s peak time in your body. However, using Mounjaro over a longer period can lead to significant weight loss. Mounjaro is a brand-name medication that’s approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to help manage blood sugar levels in people with type 2 diabetes. It is used alongside lifestyle changes and physical activities.

To say weight loss is big business is an understatement. The global market is estimated to surpass $405 billion by 2030. But roughly 80 percent of people who lose a significant amount of weight won’t maintain that weight loss for a year.

An avocado a day keeps the doctor away.

New research has found that eating one avocado every single day is associated with health benefits, including improved sleep and diet quality.

“We do know from prior work that avocado intake is linked to lowered risk of cardiovascular disease,” Penn State University postdoctoral scholar Dr. Janhavi J. Damani, who was involved in the study, told Healio.

Anyone who’s ever had a filling or a crown knows how expensive dental work can be. There’s nothing like going in for what you think is an insurance-covered cleaning and walking out with thousands of dollars on your credit card and a lingering sense of dread. So, it’s no surprise that when an opportunity arises to significantly save money on a procedure that can improve your smile, it will catch our collective attention. That seems to be what’s unfolding over on TikTok with the viral veneer tech trend, a rabbit hole you shouldn’t go down if you’re at all squeamish. These “certified” techs will apply veneers for a fraction of the cost of a traditional dentist. The only problem? Veneer techs are not actually a thing and — spoiler alert — they aren’t even dentists. They’re just enterprising individuals who saw an opportunity, took a two-day course, got a completely meaningless certificate, and are now illegally placing veneers on patients using everything from kits purchased off of Amazon and Temu to acrylics bought at nail supply stores.
