Unlocking the Keys to Healthy Eating With Dr. Travis Stork Of "The Doctors"
Eating healthy is something most people strive for, but it can be difficult and expensive. Dr. Travis Stork, M.D. of "The Doctors" shares his tips for making healthy eating an easy part of your daily routine.
He says one of the most important parts of being healthy is gut bacteria. "Healthy people have more gut bacteria," Dr. Stork notes. Eating foods with probiotics helps grow a healthy gut.
One diet that has been front and center in the news is that of President Trump. The president loves indulging in Diet Coke and fast food regularly. When asked about the president's diet, Dr. Stork replied, "all I'm going to say is I wouldn't eat any of that."
President Biden's self-imposed deadline of making booster vaccines available for all Americans is today, but with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration only approving the boosters for senior citizens, it doesn't look like he can make that deadline. The nation's top infectious disease expert Dr. Anthony Fauci defended both positions, saying that the deadline was more of a placeholder and that he also stands by the FDA's decision.
Dr. Jen Caudle, family physician and associate professor at Rowan University, joined Cheddar's Opening Bell to discuss more on the booster shot and Pfizer's vaccine for young kids.
26 states have now fully vaccinated more than half of their population with Vermont, Connecticut, and Massachusetts fully vaccinating at least two-thirds of their residents. These three states are among the ones with the lowest new Covid-19 cases per capita, but in states with low vaccination rates, hospitals are filling up again.
Dr. Rob Davidson, ER doctor and executive director of Committee to Protect Health Care, joined Cheddar's Opening Bell to discuss more.
