Understanding the Role of Nutrition in Maintaining Overall Health

Good nutrition is the foundation of a strong and healthy body. The food choices people make daily impact their energy levels, immune system, mental clarity, and even long-term disease risks.

Proper nutrition fuels the body, supports organ function, and helps maintain a balanced mood. Without it, people are more vulnerable to fatigue, weakened immunity, and chronic conditions.

Sam Asghari shares strategy advice for the next ‘Traitors’ cast amid bombshell exit: ‘Don’t try so hard’

Tarantino | Pulp Rock at Hollywood Park last week, Asghari shared his best tips for the next season’s cast while dishing out some critiques of his now former co-stars’ games.Admitting that he was one of the “least prepared” cast members before walking into the castle, Asghari believes that served him well, in contrast to someone like “Real Housewives of New York City” alum Dorinda Medley. She was the first to be banished, despite later revealing she “read ‘The Art of War’ twice, and took notes” ahead of participating in the competition reality series.“The ones that least prepared and researched are the ones that [were] left,” Asghari told The Post before suggesting to the next group of newcomers: “So, maybe don’t try so hard.”The Iranian-born model — who was married to Britney Spears from 2022 to 2024 — also revealed the one cast member he still regularly talks to: Dylan Efron, as in “High School Musical” star Zac Efron’s little brother.Asghari said that he chats with Dylan, 33, “after every show for about 30 mins” to recap each episode.Efron became a fan and cast favorite, staying tight with not only Asghari but having a full-on bromance with Boston Rob.When it comes to reality TV, the “Family Business” actor said he’s “not a fan” but emphasized how much fun he had filming the show.And he’s unaware if his famous ex-wife watched him on the series, telling The Post he had no idea if Spears caught him on the TV screen.
