"Not to frighten people, Meg, but…." That's an ominous way to start a sentence, but it's the only way Dr. Anthony Fauci, the nation's top infectious disease doctor, can talk these days, given the toll the coronavirus has taken on humanity. More than 380,000 Americans have died, with many more deaths to come, a "9/11" every day. Rather than feel defeated, Dr. Fauci hopes you'll instead help defeat COVID-19. "Now's not the time to say, 'I'm just so tired'—that would only make matters worse," said Fauci in a CNBC Healthy Returns Livestream, speaking with CNBC's Senior Health and Science Reporter Meg Tirrell. Read on to hear the four things he recommends, and to ensure your health and the health of others, don't miss these Sure Signs You've Already Had Coronavirus. 1 Dr. Fauci Recommends "Less Congregating" Dr. Fauci connects holiday get-togethers with the rise in cases and deaths, and doesn't want to see that happen again. "You can see what I have referred to as a surge upon a surge," he said, "because if you look at the inflection of the curve of things that they've gone up over the last few weeks, as we got into the cold weather, people stayed indoors, they congregated indoors sometimes without masks, the inflection of the curve was like this. It then," he shot his hand straight up, "went like that." And it keeps going up every day. "We really need to pull back a little bit, and maybe not do the things that otherwise at this part of the season of the year would be considered normal and do things to a lesser extent." 2 Dr. Fauci Recommends "Less Social Interaction" "I would like to see a dramatic diminution of the personal interaction we see in restaurants and in bars. Whatever it takes to do that, that's what I would like to see," Fauci said. But not during the CNBC interview. No, he said that back in March! And the advice still applies now—avoid socializing with people you're not sheltering with.RELATED: COVID Symptoms Usually Appear in This Order, Study Finds 3 Dr. Fauci Recommends "Less Travel" You could catch—or give someone else—COVID in the airport parking lot. Or in line checking your bag. Or in the security line. Or on the plane. Or in the baggage line at your destination. Or when greeting Mom at the airport. Or by stopping for gas on the way home. Travelling just opens you up to more social interaction. "Before you start making plans that you would have to cancel, think seriously," Fauci has said recently. "So just think about it, that we really need to say we are in an extraordinarily unique time, I mean, it is unprecedented in the last hundred and two years," he continued. He urges you to remember the more than 380,000 dead, and others debilitated by Post-COVID Syndrome. "Here's what we're going through — it's real. The numbers don't lie." 4 Dr. Fauci Says to Never Forget the Fundamentals We can curb COVID, says Fauci, if we all commit to doing this:Universal wearing of masksMaintaining physical distanceAvoiding congregate settings or crowdsDoing more outdoors, as opposed to indoorsWashing hands frequentlyThese "simple but effective" measures really do help. 5 Dr. Fauci Knows This is Hard But Wants to Save Lives (and Hopes You Do, Too!) "We all know how difficult that is because we've been under this situation of COVID fatigue, as we call it, everyone is fatigued about this. We've been going through this now for almost a year," Fauci said on CNBC. But now is the exact wrong time to give up. Follow his fundamentals and help end this surge, no matter where you live—wear a face mask, social distance, avoid large crowds, don't go indoors with people you're not sheltering with (especially in bars), practice good hand hygiene and to protect your life and the lives of others, and don't visit any of these 35 Places You're Most Likely to Catch COVID.

Ramen is one of those comfort foods that we love to turn to when we're short on time but want a light, warm dinner in a hurry. However, the sodium content in instant ramen is definitely cringe-worthy. Those instant noodles can have up to 1,750mg of sodium in one pack, which is nearly the entirety of the daily recommended sodium intake. It's for that reason that so many of us have decided to leave the instant ramen packets on the shelves at the grocery store and opt for something healthier.Until now.Immi is a brand-new startup that's shaking up the soup game with a healthy instant ramen. The high-protein, low-carb instant ramen comes in three flavor varieties, but if you can't decide, you can also get a sampler pack. Your options are Tom Yum "Shrimp," Black Garlic "Chicken," and Spicy "Beef," and yes, they're plant-based as well.Each pack of Immi instant ramen has a total of 9g net carbs, 31g protein, and 850mg sodium. Compared to your standard packs of instant ramen, these come in at a much healthier level. (Speaking of upgrading your everyday shopping list, make sure to avoid buying these items on our list of the 100 Unhealthiest Foods on the Planet.) View this post on Instagram A post shared by immi (@immieats)Immi founders Kevin Lee and Kevin Chanthasiriphan grew up in Taiwan and Thailand and wrote on the company's website that they wanted to create a healthier version of ramen because they not only love ramen but wanted to give their families a healthy alternative to a staple comfort food. The healthy instant ramen is primarily made with pumpkin seed protein, as well as a variety of other plant-based ingredients. Even better: This ramen is keto-friendly.Right now, these instant ramen packs are only available to shop online, but perhaps as more people catch on to the possibility of enjoying lower-sodium ramen, the packs may end up in your favorite grocery store. Six-packs of the instant ramen start at $39.05 on Immi's website, and they even offer a subscribe-and-save option so you never run out.For more food news, make sure to sign up for our newsletter, and avoid these 21 Foods With More Sodium Than A Pack of Ramen.

The state of Hawaii ranks 40th in terms of population, with about 1,416,000 residents, according to the United States Census Bureau. It comes in 43rd in terms of total square mileage, a number which includes some 4,500 square miles of water. And having been granted statehood in 1959, it is the 50th state to have joined the Union.But there is one unexpected distinction for which the Aloha State currently holds the number one spot: the state has far and away the highest number of fast food restaurants per capita, according to data assembled by NiceRX.com. (Related: 8 Grocery Items That May Soon Be in Short Supply.)Hawaii has 97.5 fast food locations per 100,000 residents, which translates to one McDonald's, Subway, Taco Bell, or other fast food outlet per every 1,025 people who live in Hawaii. Only one other state comes even close to the same concentration of fast food spots, and that's New York. The Empire State has 92.3 fast restaurants per 100,000 residents.Averaged together, most states have closer to 80 fast food restaurants per 100,000 residents, while the only other noncontiguous state, Alaska, ranks the lowest in fast food locations per capita, with just under 62 fast food locations per 100,000 Alaskans.Part of the reason Hawaii tops the list are its high concentrations of certain fast-food brands but also a wide variety of others which are present in smaller numbers. By contrast, most other states have a high concentration of some chains but few or even zero locations of others (several states lack even a single Dunkin' location, for example).So what are the most common fast food chains you'll come across in Hawaii? Subway holds the #1 spot, followed closely by Starbucks and McDonald's.Interestingly, Hawaii has a low prevalence of obesity compared to the rest of the United States, according to America's Health Rankings for 2020. It may be that those fast-food restaurants are primarily there for the tourists.Don't forget to sign up for our newsletter to get the latest restaurant news delivered straight to your inbox.

We are nearing more than 400,000 deaths from coronavirus in America. Numbers like that are "a problem," Dr. Anthony Fauci, the nation's top infectious disease expert and the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, told CBS. "There's no doubt about it. You can't run away from that, but that doesn't mean you give up," he says, "you've got to keep hammering out the correct public health message. If we do five fundamental things…as simple as they sound, they can certainly turn around the spikes that we see and can prevent new spikes from occurring. We know that because our experience has proven to us that that is the case." Read on for the techniques Fauci says are proven to stop COVID—and to ensure your health and the health of others, don't miss these Sure Signs You've Already Had Coronavirus. 1 Dr. Fauci Says We Need the "Universal Wearing of Masks" Incoming President Joseph Biden will ask all Americans to wear a mask for the first 100 days of his presidency. "He just wants to get — and it's a good idea — uniform," Fauci told the Today Show. "He's saying, 'Hey, folks, trust me. Everybody for 100 days.' Now, it might be that after that, we still are going to need it. But he just wants it, everybody for a commitment for 100 days. And I discussed that with him, and I told him I thought that was a good idea." 2 Dr. Fauci Says You Must "Maintain Physical Distance" You must keep social distancing and wearing masks even after being vaccinated. "Obviously, with a 90-plus percent effective vaccine, you could feel much more confident" that you won't get COVID-19, Fauci told CNN. "But I would recommend to people to not abandon all public health measures just because you have been vaccinated….even though, for the general population, it might be 90 to 95% effective," said Fauci, "you don't necessarily know, for you, how effective it is." 3 Dr. Fauci Says "Avoiding Congregate Settings or Crowds" is Essential "Any crowd, whether it's a protest, any crowd when you have people close together without masks is a risk," Fauci said last year. The same goes for families or friends congregating indoors for family meals; if you don't shelter with the person, don't have them over, or go there. 4 Dr. Fauci Says Do "Things More Outdoors, as Opposed to Indoors" "I would get as much outdoors as you possibly can," Fauci told the Washington Post. "If you look at the super spreader events that have occurred, I think it's incorrect to call people super spreaders. The event is super spread. They're almost always inside super spreader events—in nursing homes, meat-packing, prisons, choirs in churches, congregations of weddings and other social events where people get together. It's almost invariable. Nothing's 100%, but it's almost invariable that it's indoors. So when you are indoors, make sure you have a mask when you're outdoors, keep the mask on."RELATED: If You Feel This, You May Have Already Had COVID, Says Dr. Fauci 5 Wash Your Hands Frequently "Washing hands can keep you healthy and prevent the spread of respiratory and diarrheal infections from one person to the next," says the CDC. "Germs can spread from other people or surfaces when you:Touch your eyes, nose, and mouth with unwashed handsPrepare or eat food and drinks with unwashed handsTouch a contaminated surface or objectsBlow your nose, cough, or sneeze into hands and then touch other people's hands or common objects." 6 How to Survive This Pandemic "Those simple things" really do work, says Dr. Fauci. So follow Fauci's fundamentals and help end this surge, no matter where you live—wear a face mask, social distance, avoid large crowds, don't go indoors with people you're not sheltering with (especially in bars), practice good hand hygiene, get vaccinated when it becomes available to you, and to protect your life and the lives of others, don't visit any of these 35 Places You're Most Likely to Catch COVID.
There's lots of conflicting information out there about how long you should exercise for at a time—and how often—to best protect your heart. So what is the right answer?Some experts say twenty minutes of high intensity interval training (HIIT), three days a week is all you need to blast visceral fat and keep your heart in tip-top shape. Others insist that even shorter spurts of strength and cardio are equally as effective. There are also a range of runners who feel most healthy jogging nearly every day of the week. (Related: 15 Underrated Weight Loss Tips That Actually Work.)But according to new research, it doesn't really matter what you're doing or how hard you're going as long as you're doing something—and a lot of it as time allows. A new study published in the journal PLOS Medicine revealed that the more you exercise, the healthier your heart is going to be—there's truly no cutoff. In fact, by capping your physical activity, you could be selling your heart short."In this study," the researchers conclude, "we found no evidence of a threshold for the inverse association between objectively measured moderate, vigorous, and total PA [physical activity] with CVD [cardiovascular disease]. Our findings suggest that PA is not only associated with lower risk of CVD, but the greatest benefit is seen for those who are active at the highest level."In other words, the more you exercise, the more you set yourself up for good heart health."Physical activity is even more important for the prevention of cardiovascular disease than we previously thought," the study's first author Rema Ramakrishnan, M.P.H., Ph.D., biostatistician and epidemiologist at the Nuffield Department of Women's&Reproductive Health at Oxford University, tells Eat This, Not That!Of course, you can't spend all day every day working out. If you need an expert-recommended length of time to hit each week, Ramakrishnan says that "individuals should try to follow the new WHO guidelines on physical activity, which recommend at least 150 to 300 minutes of moderate to vigorous aerobic activity per week for all adults."Of course, even when you're aiming to reap as many health benefits from exercise as physically possible, it's important to listen to your body.
