In Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy’s first in-person appearance at a UN Security Council meeting on Moscow’s invasion of his country, he told a special meeting that the Russian veto has rendered the world body “ineffective”. Zelenskyy said that the United Nations was at a dead end regarding aggressions and suggested Russia be stripped of its veto right as one of five permanent members of the post-World War II Security Council as punishment for attacking Ukraine. US Secretary of State Antony Blinken sided with the US and blamed Russia for weaponizing hunger. Russia’s Sergei Lavrov responded. Watch here.

Research Suggests , High Fiber Diets , Come With Myriad of Health Benefits.
NPR reports that a recent review of studies on fiber-rich
diets found links to lower risk for major health problems
like obesity, diabetes, cancer and cardiovascular disease.
Fiber provides fuel for trillions of microbes
that live in the gut, producing chemical
messengers that influence health.
The U.S. government's dietary guidelines suggest
eating 14 grams of fiber for every 1,000 calories. .
However, NPR reports that only about 9% of women
and 3% of men meet those daily recommendations.
According to researchers, the best source
of fiber is from a number of plant-based foods,
like whole grains, beans, seeds and nuts.
Foods like sweet potatoes, avocados, pears, asparagus,
brown rice and pumpkin seeds are not only a good source
of fiber, but also vitamins, minerals and phytonutrients.

Foods like sweet potatoes, avocados, pears, asparagus,
brown rice and pumpkin seeds are not only a good source
of fiber, but also vitamins, minerals and phytonutrients.
Salads can be another good source
of fiber if iceberg lettuce is
substituted with cabbage or kale.
NPR recommends taking small steps to introduce
more fiber into your diet in order to give the
gastrointestinal tract time to adjust.
As your daily intake of fiber
is increased, keep track of how
different high-fiber foods affect you. .
At the same time, it is very important to drink plenty of
water, which will help fiber move through your system and
prevent it from hardening, causing gas and constipation.
