well in our world. thank you very much. i know we health news and let's learn through our favorite game designed to make you think. president seems like you've done this before, but let's run through some two truths and a lie and everyone out there knows how this goes. tell us which one of these three facts is not true. i may have changed around a little bit. is it? a recent study suggests a covid infection may provide about 10 months of immunity, or is it be? this is a

little tricky math one. for a 2000 calorie daily diet. the recommended added sugar per day limit is about 12 teaspoons or is it c narcan or naloxone, which is used to treat overdoses from opioids can also be used to treat overdoses from other illicit drugs. which one of these is not true. tell us now, viewers i need you telepathically. i do know that a is true. it's kind of what i was teasing too. but i look forward to getting details from you, doctor. going to say be because i feel as though 12 teaspoons. is a lot and i want to say the recommendations should be less than that. so let's say b is the lie, but i'm not 100% confident. so b is actually true. and i'm happy that that does sound like a lot , but when we actually look at how much calories from those teaspoons there actually are. kristen is only about 200 calories and added sugar is

hidden everyone our food, but see is actually the lie. no locks in can only be used to treat opioid related overdoses, which is important to know because as we talk more about accessibility to naloxone that cannot be used to treat overdoses from other substances such as cocaine or even alcohol. it's just for opioids. i see. okay well, thank you so much. we will dive a little more deeply into each of those topics. you just introduce a little bitter about not winning this game today, but that's ok. we're learning. that's why we're here, right? um alright, so covid is another cobra wave coming our way. are there signs well, basically, what's happening right now is a very in depth look at the wastewater. because kristen, as you know, we're not testing nearly as much as we were. johns hopkins is even shutting down their daily tracker, which we relied on for about three years. so wastewater surveillance seems to be the go to and what the data showing right now is that there is a slight uptake in san francisco,

oakland, even santa jose and napa. now, an uptick on its own does not necessarily tell us. oh, my gosh, we're in a lot of trouble, but the concerning part is that we don't know what's going to happen with xdb, which is potentially the most contagious variant we've ever seen. the good news is what we have to be realistic about is the uptake in the northeast did not cause a dramatic rise in severe illness or hospitalizations, so we could be totally cool and headed towards into dynamic place, but it's just important for people to keep all of this on our radar, because as we move away from covid 19, we have to really start thinking about pandemic preparedness. wastewater surveillance is important there, so is making sure that we're all updating our vaccines and are by violent boosters. absolutely i mean, don't forget that just because the covid emergency is ending from a public health standpoint doesn't mean it's gone. but in your two truths, we offered up a little good news. i think which is covid immunity after an infection can last 10 months i seem to remember you know there were canceling 3 to 6 months and we kind of build policy and guidelines around that. so this is great. this is

good news. this is from the journal of the lancet, which is a reputable journal, kristen. there's an important asterisk involved here is that for a long period of time, there has been the suspicion that natural immunity can be robust and protected. and yes, you're correct. when people said initially like, hey, is it three months, six months? this is one study. it's hard to definitively say, my gosh, we know for a fact it's 10 months, it could be more it could be less than some individuals. but this is important for new news for anyone out there who may have had a previous infection just know that they have additional protection. but the one thing that i want to tell everyone out there regardless of if it's covid, 19 chicken pox or measles disease that you get immunity from getting natural immunity does also increase your risk of getting a severe infection or dying. so this is not being that people should run out and say i'm going to go get covid 19 for the protection. if you magically haven't already it's just important to add to that body of information that says that as we increase the amount of natural immunity and faxing acquired immunity, we have much better protection moving forward. okay.

i want to follow up on that third item that i miss seeing as opioid overdoses skyrocket. the fda considering some unprecedented access to an antidote, right, narcan. there's which we phenomenal groundbreaking information, kristen especially a potentially life saving for the thousands of opioid debt, said, unfortunately happen every single year from overdoses. what the fda suggesting is that nor can. it may be available over the counter, so this would be potentially big, big, big box office stories. i can't say that grocery stores pharmacies in the form of a nasal spray to four mg capsules, and you would potentially give one in the event of an opioid or reduce the truth is kristin that less than one third teen opioid overdoses are treated with narcan and this is absolutely lifesaving if given immediately, so hopefully we see widespread distribution of narcan and people are viewing this as a fire extinguisher.

something to have on hand that you hope you never use some spotlight this week on depression, both in the form of a study on teen girls and, of course, the very public action of the senator from pennsylvania , john fetterman, checking himself into a hospital for depression. i think they highlight two very important aspects. kristen of mental illness, but first one regarding the latter one regarding what's happening with our adolescents are teen girls is the recognition that this is very real and even more insidious than we all thought. pandemic we have an epidemic of mental illness among everyone, including teen girls, it's getting worse. we have to pay attention to the fact that nearly 60% of these teams are facing hopelessness, sadness, these horrible feelings and the regarding senator federman. he is getting praise for actually. checking himself in and getting the treatment needed for clinical depression that recognition that humility saying that i need help. i'm going to go get it. that is something that more people need to do. we need to completely de stigmatized mental illness if a politician went out and got treatment for a broken leg,

heart disease or diabetes, you would see all kinds of messages saying get well soon without a second thought. so i hope that center fender bids willingness to go get treated for depression , sparks some new thoughts and a lot of people out there who may have been reluctant to do so for themselves or family member. exactly and in the past, you know politicians would be like i can't do that. it will be viewed politically as a sign of weakness. and so we do need to change that conversation. doctor patel, can you just dive in a little deeper on the depression study on teen girls? what is the percentage and also i know it's a bigger percentage than for boys, right? is a bigger percentage, so simply put about 57% of teenage girls reported feeling these feelings of hopelessness or sadness, and what's also alarming is that the number was higher in teenage girls who identified as member of the lgbtq community, and these numbers were higher than what's happening in teen boys. but it's ao 11 and one this

wanting tate.o kriste this is extremely alarming. there's multiple factors that could be contributing this, but one thing is clear. we need to f multifactor republic health approach from parents to school takers, schoolteachers to other guardians to public health. amen to that. hey listen, you also had a question in two truths about sugar intake. i was trying to say nah, we can't even have our 12 teaspoons, but you're very concerned about kids actually eating too much sugar or drinking too much sugar, right? oh we now did you accidentally hit mute? are you back? talk talk. oh, you're back. i can't hear kristen what happened? but i'm going to just say that i do

worry about social media. i don't even know if that's what you asked me, but i think we need to do a much better job of focusing on the exposures that are kids received and realizing that schools are a front and center focal point for taking care of their mental health, so we need to make sure that our schools across the board are better equipped and that parents are ready to listen in a non judgment free and not judgment, free zone and all their kids concerns and anything that's on their minds. doctor patel. this is why you're the ultimate tv, doc. you didn't even hear what i said. and you just told us useful information without missing a beat. thank you so much. really appreciate it can magically here. you don't know what happened, kristen. happy friday. happy friday. all right, take care. coming up next. bruce willis is diagnosis of a form of dementia has a lot of people wondering about warning signs, disease progression and the search for cure. we'll talk with an expert from the alzheimer's association of northern nevada and california sti

long time action hero, actor bruce willis is now battling not demons, but dementia, specifically a form of dementia called frontotemporal dementia. willis's wife, emma, hemming, willis, posted her thanks on instagram after an outpouring of love and support in the wake of the families announcement about the actors condition his battle has raised a lot of questions and what causes the illness. what are the signs and whether is there is treatment. joining us live now is clear day chief program officer at the alzheimer's association, northern nevada and california claire. thanks for your time today. thank you. most of us are familiar with alzheimer's, but many are not familiar with frontotemporal dementia. explain what it is. yeah so frontotemporal degeneration or

dementia really refers to a group of disorders that are caused by cell loss, progressive cell loss and it and in the frontal and temporal lobes of our brain. um and so this nerve cell damage really leads to that sort of loss of function of brain regions. that are affected that that impact and effect behavior personality, difficulty producing language. we see that a lot with people with frontotemporal dementia, so you know, in terms of the language, i think his family referred to that. even a year ago, when he was first diagnosed with aphasia, he was not able to make out the words to communicate. is that always the case and was that a precursor a year ago to what it was going to become today? well i mean, i certainly can't comment on on his medical case in particular, but, you know, i think there's two sort of most common types of frontotemporal degeneration or dementia. and that's what we

call the >> we see a lot of behaviors early on. and judgment issues with control. and the language issue as well that can be also the most common type of ftd. >> who is prone to getting it? >> i would genetics, about one third of all cases of ftd are considered to be a generic -- genetic case. when we talk about genetics around dementia, it is important to talk about the importance of genetic counseling as well and understanding what those genes represent. they are not the same for everybody. they are, i think one of the things with ftd's were seeing a lot of emerging research and trying to really understand that.

there's emerging research happening all over the world. specific to ftd and other types of dementia. helping us understand what of his differences. we have the umbrella term which is describing the loss of function. the function might be the same across the board, but what is happening with the biology in the brain is different from disease to disease. >> right is the young to have this or is this the typical age? >> we start the ch as more of a clue with ftd. most people with ftd are diagnosed in their 40's, 50's, and early 60's. where you see someone with alzheimer's having a risk actor according to age. it is not uncommon that ftd impacts people who are younger. >> is there a test that could be a genetic marker where you can

say this could be you. there are things you can do to get ahead of it to either prevent it or slow its onset? >> i wish there was. right now, that is one of the biggest races when it comes to alzheimer's and other types of dementia. especially around ftd, there are research opportunities that can help really -- scientists to understand what the differences might look like. it allows those researchers to really understand what those genetic implications are. now, we diagnose ftd similar to alzheimer's. there's not one single test for can help us diagnose. unfortunately, with ftd, there are no treatments available. that question of do you identify

an early marker when there are no effective treatment is an important one, because there is nothing you can do. that is where research and science together is important. >> there are things you can do to keep your brain more alert and active. so to speak. i am thinking about games, puzzles, or word games. >> there was a lot of evidence to show that there are things that we do that have cardiovascular and brain health. so exercising and eating the right times of -- types of food that have omega fatty assets and are low in bad fats. cognitive activities. we know any of those brain things as well as monitoring other cardiovascular risk factors like diabetes, cholesterol, and blood pressure. those are good things that everyone of us could be doing to

decrease our risk of developing dementia. in northern california we are testing this to see if it has an impact on older adults who are cognitively normal. we -- i think it is also important to note that there are certain things that can reduce risks but they are not anything we can prove today that alzheimer's or dementia like ftd. that is like research is so important. >> we have got to go but where can people learn more information? >> alc.org. our 24 hour hotline 800 272 3900. and other organizations like af td that are doing great work as well. >> inc. you for joining us. -- inc. you for joining us. >> t

>> kid is presidents' day weekend. you may wonder how the celebration of all american presidents turned into a shopping weekend. whatever reason, we have all sorts of offers for consumers this weekend. joining us life is consumer expert andrea. you are here to help us navigate the deals. >> thank you for having me. a lot of people are familiar with presidents day sales. it is a good time to shop with inflation still up people are looking for any way to say. that can definitely help you through the process. the first thing i wanted to talk about was what to buy and what to skip. we see the best deals during presidents' day weekend. on those and of season sales for

winter merchandise. like your winter coats, food, accessories, stores are offering -- summer off figuring 50% of winter apparel on sale. but also home appliances if you need a new refrigerator or washer and dryer it is a good weekend to shop. and i have select deals on electronics. target was offering 20% off the apple pro to airpods. and going back to some of the appliance deals those were offering $500 off a whirlpool -- whirlpool side-by-side refrigerator. and anything for spring or summer we will see better deals coming up in the next few months. >> summer clothing anything that is not winter you can wait a wild for better deals. >> that's right. and stores want you to think they will offer better deals on these things. you may see 10% or 20% off but you will get a better deal in a

couple months so hold off. >> with other popular retailers do you see anything at cosco, sam's club? >> i love those at presidents' day weekend and holiday weekends. because not only do they have disk out items on household items like -- appliances and tv's. but they also have discounts on the essential items you need a matter what. for the big appliance deals i saw were savings options and then they were offering an extra $300 off when you spend $2000. it is an extra instant coupon on top of whatever they'll you get. and then also paper towels, toilet paper, grocery goods and toiletries. you want to check those out. it is better to shop in store than online. because the online prices are up a bit. >> that is interesting we assume it will be the same but that is

good to know. what about outlet centers. i was reading an article that the prices are not actually better and you're not getting the same quality goods. what is your thought on that russian mark >> there are some outlet stores that have merchandise made specifically for that. but i would say that is not always the case for every store. for instance, nordstrom has a lot of items that are sold at the regular nordstrom stores. you kind of have to get familiar with the merchandise and get to know it. but it could be a good opportunity to save and especially over holiday weekends we see discounted goods or prices on the already reduced options. so shop around and compare prices. here is a tip, you do not have to go to the outlet center. there are plenty of those options available online like gap factory store or factory outlet online. or overstock use from namebrand

department stores. you could check those out. >> what about coupons. they can help you save money, but navigating them and finding the latest and keeping track is hard. >> i feel a lot of consumers are frustrated with coupons because it seems like a code doesn't work. by tip for that is download their browser with the extension with the test code for it so that it takes the extra step out of finding what test code works. and there is one called sidekick. to your browser and it wil automatically search for coupons when you are shopping online and let you know if there will. and then you press the button and add it to your card often -- automatically with the deal offering the biggest discount. >> we got it. does credit card use make a difference? >> credit cards use such good rewards programs these days.

but whatever program you are paying with make sure it gives you more cash back at that specific store. you may need to opt in for bonus rewards. check your credit card account online. and you can get cashback for your online purchases with some apps. and here is a last tip take a picture of all your shopping groups -- receipts over presidents' day weekend using fetch app. it is a rewards wet -- app you get a free gift card for all the rewards you accumulate. >> thank you andrea for all the savings to -- savings tips today. happy shopping to you. we will take a short break and we
