Living Diet

Physician Sean O'Mara joined Megyn Kelly's show to discuss health and nutrition, promoting what he calls the 'Living Diet', explaining how to reduce visceral fat, and arguing for the health value of fermented foods. The conversation is drawing large attention online, with hundreds of thousands of people engaging with the discussion about diet, belly fat and gut health.

The RSPCA is urging people in Britain to cut back on burgers, arguing that eating less beef would improve the lives of farm animals. The animal welfare charity's message has drawn attention on social media, with users debating whether dietary change is a fair ask and how reducing demand for beef would affect livestock farming.

Megyn Kelly is drawing attention to the so-called 'Living Diet', outlining which foods people should eat if they follow it. The discussion has gained significant traction online, with audiences weighing in on the diet's principles and whether its recommended foods offer real health benefits. The topic sits within a broader wave of nutrition advice circulating on social media, where viewers are sharing their own takes on the eating plan.

A large survey has found a link between poor nutrition in older adults and lower life satisfaction, suggesting that what older people eat may play a role in how satisfied they feel with their lives. The findings add to growing research on diet's role in healthy ageing, though the survey design means a causal direction cannot be confirmed.

Remote cameras in Gabon's Abanda Caves have recorded dwarf crocodiles, about 1.5 meters long, catching bats mid-flight for the first time. The reptiles live in permanent darkness among mounds of bat guano, and while researchers already knew bats were part of their diet, no one had ever directly observed the hunt before.

Health outlets are highlighting the role of the gut microbiome in overall wellbeing, explaining how the trillions of bacteria living in the digestive system may influence digestion, immunity and other aspects of health. Coverage is focused on raising awareness of gut health and encouraging audiences to pay attention to diet and lifestyle factors that shape the microbiome.

Megyn Kelly, speaking with Dr. Sean, has detailed what she eats day to day on what she calls the 'Living Diet', a routine built around meat and fermented foods. The conversation has drawn significant attention, with many reacting to her embrace of an animal-based, gut-health-focused approach to eating that echoes wider debates over carnivore and fermentation-heavy diets.

The CNRS, with Le Monde, has released a short film looking at bats as living laboratories of evolution. The six-and-a-half-minute video explores how the animals' extraordinary diversity of diets, habitats and adaptations makes them a prime subject for studying evolutionary processes, with fieldwork taking in locations such as Trinidad and Tobago. It is being shared by French-speaking science and nature enthusiasts online.

Health outlet Verywell Health asked a doctor whether eating more dietary fiber helps people live longer. The piece examines what current medical understanding says about fiber intake and longevity, reflecting ongoing public interest in simple dietary changes that may extend life. Fiber-rich diets have long been linked in research to better heart, gut and metabolic health.

Researchers report that fruit flies fed a lower-protein diet, starting from the larval (maggot) stage, live longer than those on standard feed. The finding adds to evidence that dietary restriction of protein can influence ageing, and is drawing interest for what it may suggest about nutrition and lifespan more broadly.
