In today’s news, Cambodia partners with US medical experts to provide free heart surgery for children. Global heatwave has bleached more than half of the world’s coral reefs, artificial intelligence re-establishes British musician’s voice during neurological disease, project in Fiji drives cultural shift towards zero violence against young people, Moroccan woman honored for outstanding achievements, vegan cashew and tofu brie-style cheese launched in USA, and Canadian dog companions and their caregivers team up to save stranded dog-person in snow.
The wisest choice is the compassionate vegan diet, so please join me and my friends. Today, I’d like to offer a dietary health tip. Shirataki noodles are a versatile and healthy base for your meals. They are made from the konjac plant’s glucomannan fiber and have a unique scent and texture. Shirataki noodles are very low in calories and carbohydrates, making them perfect for weight management and blood sugar regulation. They contain high amounts of soluble fiber which supports digestion and promotes a feeling of satiation. Prepare shirataki noodles by first soaking and then washing them with cold water for a minimum of two minutes since the liquid they’re packaged in has somewhat of a fishy odor. Next, boil them for two to three minutes or set them in the microwave for a minute to soften them so their texture is less rubbery. Shirataki noodles also come uncooked, or dry. Just prepare these per the package instructions. This healthy option is a wonderful addition to any recipe that calls for noodles.
It’s time for a little humor. Let’s sit back, relax, and listen to a joke titled, “Family Fouls.”
During a heated youth league soccer match, Coach Damian made no secret of how little he respected the referee, Sullivan. Every call came with a dramatic sigh, a wave of the arms, or a loud complaint from the sidelines.
“Coach, that’s enough. One more outburst and it’s a penalty.”
Damian backed off—briefly. But just as the sidelines grew quiet, an older woman in a folding chair picked up the protest with even more enthusiasm.
“Open your eyes, ref! That was obvious!”
Sullivan shot the coach a warning look.
“You’d better control your side.”
Damian whipped around toward the woman and snapped—
“Knock it off, Mom!”
