Medical professional offers tips for healthy start to new school year
SUMMARY: As students prepare to return to school, medical professionals advise on keeping kids healthy. Family Nurse Practitioner Marion Stewart recommends ensuring children get 8 to 10 hours of sleep each night to avoid fatigue, weakness, and headaches. Stewart also emphasizes the importance of eating a nutritious breakfast, suggesting a fruit, yogurt, or granola bar. For picky eaters, packing a lunch with their favorite foods can prevent headaches caused by hunger. Stewart recommends giving children vitamins and supplements, such as Vitamin C, Zinc, and Vitamin D, to support their immune system. If a child experiences cold, fever, or cough, seeking medical attention is recommended due to rising COVID-19 cases.

SUMMARY: President-elect Donald Trump announced that he will issue an executive order on Monday to extend the deadline for TikTok’s China-based parent company, ByteDance, to find an approved U.S. buyer. This decision follows the removal of TikTok from app stores due to a federal law requiring ByteDance to sell its U.S. operations or face a ban, citing national security concerns. Trump’s order would delay the law’s restrictions, offering ByteDance more time to negotiate a sale. Despite challenges, including TikTok’s legal disputes, Trump emphasized the app’s potential value and the importance of keeping it operational in the U.S.

SUMMARY: Joe Biden’s presidency aimed to “restore the soul” of America post-Trump, but despite bipartisan legislative successes and international alliances, he struggled to change the political landscape. Four years after defeating Trump, Biden faced electoral defeat as Trump made a political comeback. Polls show only a quarter view Biden favorably, even lower than Trump during his presidency. Although Biden touted achievements in infrastructure and economic recovery, rising costs and inflation eroded public support. As he prepares to leave office, questions persist about his legacy and the permanence of the political shift towards populism, leaving Biden’s ambitions unfulfilled.
