Today on Health Channel News, we cover three timely topics that touch on health and wellness from multiple angles. First is Health Canada’s recent ban on brominated vegetable oil (BVO) in beverages, a move to remove this potentially harmful additive from drinks by next year. Then, we explore new research suggesting that physical fitness may matter more than body weight for long-term health, challenging the belief that being slim is always healthier. Finally, environmental activist Rachel Parent joins us to discuss climate anxiety, its causes, and how taking local action can help individuals feel empowered and hopeful. Join us as we unpack these critical health and wellness insights.
