Around half of all American adults (around 117 million people) have one or more preventable chronic diseases, says the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), “many of which are related to poor quality eating patterns” as well as the lack of physical activity. Certified personal trainer and fitness nutrition specialist Michele Canon, who is a STRIDE XPRO for Xponential+, told Newsweek that the healthiest lunch options are ones that are centered around protein, low in processed carbohydrates and have a moderate amount of fat....

Ressa learned she was one of this year’s laureates only 10 minutes before the announcement was made by the Norwegian Global Committee from Oslo, Norway at 11 a.m. local time. “Oh my God,” Ressa is heard, saying as committee officials relayed that she has been chosen for her commitment to press freedoms despite increasing pressure from Rodrigo Duterte, the Phillippines’ authoritarian president. “I’m speechless,” she said in her initial reaction of the news....

The study involved 125,249 people from the U.K. who drank and were taking part in an existing study. The scientists carried out what is known as a genome-wide association study. This is where researchers look for small variations in a person’s DNA for what are known as single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), study co-author Andrew Thompson, a senior research Associate at the University of Liverpool, told Newsweek. “Each person carries many millions of SNPs, but if a particular SNP occurs more frequently in people with a particular condition/behaviour than in people without the condition/behaviour, it can suggest the underlying reason for the difference,” he said....

The move was not unexpected. Turkoglu, 34, is no longer seen as a piece to the Magic's future, having not played for them yet this season. Speculation of the forward's suitors began immediately. Among them: the Los Angeles Lakers and Atlanta Hawks, according to USA Today. Turkoglu is in the final year of a five-year, $52.8 million deal. By waiving him before Jan. 7, the Magic will pay $6 million....

Egypt international Hegazi has been ever-present for the Baggies in the Premier League this season, but has been unable to prevent their slide into the drop zone. The defender scored on his debut to seal a 1-0 win over Bournemouth on the opening day of the season, but West Brom have not won since the fixture which followed – a 1-0 win at Burnley – leading to the departure of Tony Pulis as head coach....

Heading into the weekend, there’s no clear-cut favorite for college football’s most prestigious individual award like in years past. This weekend’s championship matchups don’t help the voters, either. The Heisman Trust sent their digital-only ballots to voters on Monday. The select voters have less than a week to cast their top three picks (in order from 1 to 3). Not only is the top choice in doubt, but so are the following candidates....

Almost too good to the point where it takes away from his Heisman Trophy candidacy. Young led Alabama to a 20-14 victory against LSU on Saturday, and it wasn’t pretty. Young finished 24 of 37 for 302 yards and two TDs, which was good. Is Young good enough to be a back-to-back Heisman Trophy winner for Alabama? The Crimson Tide have three previous winners under Nick Saban, and they used the LSU game to prop up that Heisman campaign....

But it was J.T. Barrett’s comeback that thrust Ohio State into the College Football Playoff discussion — and introduced a new player to the Heisman mix. Still, Barkley remains atop the Heisman standings, but big wins for Barrett, Baker Mayfield and Josh Adams are giving Barkley more competition than expected. BENDER: Ohio State can do anything with Barrett leading the way Here’s how the Heisman race looks with just one third of the regular season remaining:...

Jackie herself thinks she was tapped more by the blistering heat-not to mention the wrong shoes. But it was a ghost, at least Joyner-Kersee has found something that can keep up with her. It’s lonely so far ahead of the pack. At New Orleans, she won the greuling seven-event competition handily with a total of 6,695 points, 462 ahead of her nearest rival. But it was her lowest score since 1985, leading people to whisper, “What’s the matter with Jackie?...

Get an eye exam If you’re 40 or older, you may have noticed that it’s getting harder and harder to read fine print or to see close objects. That’s because the lens of your eye becomes less flexible as you get older, leading to a condition called presbyopia or farsightedness. We know, it’s hard enough to find time for regular physical and gynecological checkups. You’ve probably put a visit to the eye doctor on the back burner....

A decade ago, Carville helped elect as mayor of that city a man who promised to synchronize the traffic lights on the main drag, Florida Street. By God, said the candidate, using a rhetorical trope then fashionable, if we can put a man on the moon, we can smooth out the herky-jerky stop-and-start nonflow of traffic. So the new mayor straightaway turned to Carville and said: Get it done. Carville called the city’s traffic engineer and said: Make it happen....

While the FBI conducts a criminal investigation, the office that leads the intelligence community is also conducting a review—currently on pause pending a court order—of the damage that would result from disclosure of the documents found at the Mar-a-Lago estate in Palm Beach, Florida. The investigation comes at a perilous time in American politics, with increasing threats to law enforcement and election workers and as a growing swath of officials assail the FBI and spread baseless theories of voter fraud....

Ole Miss beat Alabama 23-17 in 2014 and 43-37 in 2015. Now, No. 1 Alabama visits No. 19 Ole Miss in the SEC West opener for both teams. “It’s a tall task any time you play these guys,” Ole Miss coach Huge Freeze said on the SEC teleconference. “This year, they seem to be as good or if not better than they’ve been in spots the last few years.”...

Called Get My Payment, the tool is expected to let users know when to either expect their money to be direct deposited into their accounts or when paper checks are slated to be delivered. Get My Payment does not need to downloaded from an app store, according to a press release provided to Newsweek by the U.S. Department of the Treasury and can be accessed from any desktop, tablet or phone....

Growing up in Pakistan, a nuclear-armed country ruled by the military for most of its existence, the costs of division were visible everywhere—in the slums of Karachi, where Sindhis and Balochis that toiled in the factories by day slept the night in staggered rows in huts without running water when many Punjabi elites seemed to get jobs and buy houses they desired. A common joke went that “countries have armies, but in Pakistan the army has a country....

According to two separate memos released on Friday by White House Physician Dr. Sean Conley, the president is currently undergoing Remdesivir therapy and was given a single 8-gram dose of the experimental polyclonal antibody cocktail Regeneron, before heading to the Walter Reed Medical Center as a precautionary measure. In addition to those treatments, he is also taking zinc, vitamin D, famotidine, melatonin and daily aspirin. Conley says that Trump is “in good spirits” and that he is being evaluated by a team of experts during his hospital stay....

On April 2, Fernando Montes de Oca, a resident of Sulphur Springs, Texas, awoke to hear his dog barking. A fire had broken out while Montes de Oca had fallen asleep. Upon waking, the man saw flames coming through the top of a nearby window and a door, he told KTBC. When he tried to open the door, the hot doorknob severely burned his hand. “When I opened it up, all I see is just flames everywhere outside,” Montes de Oca told the news station....

There are no specific details as to what exactly the dog did to keep the man going while he was awaiting rescue, but it seems the mixed-breed dog, named Ash, may have at least helped the man keep his morale up during the freezing nights. The unnamed man and Ash spent their time near a frozen river, which the man reportedly used for water. Because of his injuries, the man was unable to travel or gather large amounts of food, and the particular path he traveled was unable to receive cell phone service....

A poll of Georgia voters completed three days after reports broke found Walker and his Democratic opponent, Senator Raphael Warnock, statistically tied despite scandals dogging the 1982 Heisman Trophy-winning former NFL star since the start of the campaign. With less than one month until election day, pollsters with the University of Georgia found Walker within three points of Warnock—numbers that mirror internal polling numbers shared by the campaign to NBC News on Wednesday morning....
