Recent trends show that obesity rates in the United States are gradually declining, a shift experts say could bring significant long-term health benefits. Reduced obesity is expected to lower cardiovascular risk, improve metabolic health, and ease the nation’s healthcare burden in the coming years. Healthcare professionals highlight that even modest reductions in body weight can have meaningful effects on overall health. Lower obesity levels are linked to decreased risk of heart disease, type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, and other chronic conditions. Medical experts also note that public health initiatives, combined with increased access to weight-loss medications like GLP‑1 drugs,…
Britain is one of the least “nature-connected” countries in the world, ranking 55th out of 61 nations in a global survey of 57,000 people. The study, published in Ambio, examined how cultural, social, and economic factors shape people’s relationships with the natural world. Nepal topped the list, followed by Iran, South Africa, Bangladesh, and Nigeria. At the other end were the Netherlands, Canada, Germany, Israel, Japan, and Spain — the least connected of all. Researchers from the University of Derby and Austria’s University of Graz found that stronger spirituality and religious belief correlated with closer ties to nature, while business-friendly…

Social isolation has been a growing concern, especially in the aftermath of the pandemic. Experts say that arts engagement offers…
Enzo Maresca blasted Liam Delap for his “very stupid” red card after Chelsea’s chaotic 4-3 Carabao Cup win over Wolves, warning his young side they must “grow up.” Chelsea looked in full control after first-half goals from Andrey Santos, Tyrique George, Estêvão and Jamie Gittens put them 3-0 up, but Wolves roared back with a spirited second-half display. David Møller Wolfe’s brace and a goal from Tolu Arokodare made it tense before Gittens sealed the win. Delap, returning from injury, was sent off late after picking up two yellow cards in just seven minutes, leaving Maresca furious. “It’s embarrassing,” he…
A rare spider species thought to be extinct in the UK has been rediscovered on the Isle of Wight after more than four decades. The Aulonia albimana, newly dubbed the “white-knuckled wolf spider” for its pale leg joints, was found at the National Trust’s Newtown nature reserve by entomologists Mark Telfer and Graeme Lyons. The tiny spider, last recorded in 1985, was spotted in the final minutes of a four-hour search on a remote site accessible only by boat. The discovery was made in an area restored by Hebridean sheep grazing, which helped create the short, sunlit turf the spider…

New national climate plans from over 60 countries would cut global carbon emissions by only 10% by 2035, about one-sixth of what’s needed to limit warming to 1.5C, a UN analysis shows. UN climate chief Simon Stiell said countries were “making progress” but warned that “we have a serious need for more speed.” Major emitters including China and the EU have yet to submit formal plans, while the US pledge from Joe Biden’s term may be dropped if Donald Trump withdraws from the Paris deal again. The findings come ahead of Cop30 in Brazil next month, where leaders will face…
