With Parkinson’s cases projected to reach 25 million by 2050, experts told Fox News Digital that healthy habits can help reduce risk and slow onset, though the disease can’t be prevented. Regular aerobic exercise—linked to a 50% lower risk—and resistance training are emphasized. They also cite antioxidant-rich, Mediterranean-style eating, limiting toxins, prioritizing quality sleep, managing stress, staying mentally and socially active, and avoiding smoking and heavy alcohol. The guidance is low-risk, not a guarantee, and early medical evaluation is urged for motor changes, loss of smell, REM sleep behavior disorder, or persistent constipation.

The NBA is grappling with a federal sports-betting investigation, with allegations surrounding Hall of Famer and Trail Blazers coach Chauncey Billups, who was arrested as part of multiple probes. Warriors coach Steve Kerr described players facing hostile messages from bettors and detailed team briefings on what’s prohibited, including telling friends a player isn’t playing. Nuggets coach Rodney Billups’ ties added a personal layer, as David Adelman stressed support and discretion. Pacers coach Rick Carlisle said Billups didn’t respond to outreach. Al Horford urged greater league protection and ongoing education.

Late-night hosts skewered President Trump’s plan for a 90,000-square-foot White House ballroom, citing a donor list that includes Amazon, Apple, Comcast, Google, Microsoft, T-Mobile, Meta Platforms and Hard Rock International. They riffed on a $100 million cost jump to $300 million and cracked that East Wing demolition has become a flash point, even as the White House released donor names. Press secretary Karoline Leavitt dismissed criticism as jealousy. The comics also joked about Trump’s idea for a glass bridge to the ballroom and exaggerated the pace and scale of the teardown.

Kathryn Bigalow’s A House of Dynamite imagines a lone nuclear missile racing toward the U.S., then locks viewers inside the real-time decisions of the president, generals and staff. Experts say the surprise single-warhead attack and two-interceptor response strain credibility, even as the “doomsday” conference call, authentic settings, and ever-present nuclear “football” ring true. Several argue a president would likely ride out the strike and wait for attribution rather than launch on warning. With arsenals expanding and a key treaty set to lapse early next year, the film’s timing feels unnervingly apt.

Britain convened allies in London to weigh a boycott of Russian oil and gas, a loan to Ukraine using Russian sovereign assets, and faster weapon deliveries, as President Volodymyr Zelensky and leaders from Denmark, the Netherlands and NATO joined Prime Minister Keir Starmer. After President Trump sanctioned Rosneft and Lukoil, the European Union announced its latest round of sanctions and pledged continued financial and military support. Britain said it would speed delivery of an extra 100 air-defense missiles and provide 140 more this winter under a £1.6 billion deal. Belgium’s legal concerns stalled an E.U. loan plan.

Goldman Sachs says firms passed 37% of new tariffs to consumers, pushed 9% to suppliers and absorbed 51% — a hit big enough to reverse inflation’s fall, yet less pass-through than at the same point in the prior tariff burst. Companies from Nike and Mattel to Raytheon and 3M report heavy costs; automakers are holding prices and eating margins. Some producers like Cleveland‑Cliffs are gaining as imports get pricier. Executives and bankers expect more pass-through ahead, keeping inflation sticky. Big companies can squeeze suppliers, while a small tea maker just imposed its largest price hike.

Week 7’s waiver wire jolted to life after Monday’s doubleheader, driven by breakouts and injury twists. Giants quarterback Jaxson Dart set career highs in passing and rushing TDs, igniting a Dart-versus-Joe Flacco debate, even as Flacco has five TDs and no picks in two games. Marcus Mariota is in play with Jayden Daniels’ hamstring MRI clouding starts. Bears’ Kyle Monangai saw committee work, while Chargers tight end Oronde Gadsden erupted for 164 yards and became a priority add. Rookie TE Colston Loveland could benefit from Cole Kmet’s back injury. Analysts urge caution and close injury monitoring.

Procter & Gamble beat Wall Street’s expectations for its fiscal first quarter, buoyed by strong beauty and grooming demand, and kept its full-year outlook despite tariff costs and what CEO Jon Moeller called a “challenging consumer and geopolitical environment.” For the quarter ended Sept. 30, adjusted EPS was $1.99 (vs. $1.90 expected) on revenue of $22.39 billion (vs. $22.18 billion). Net income rose to $4.75 billion. Overall sales grew 3% and organic sales 2%, while volume was flat: beauty volume +4%, grooming +1%, health care and fabric/home care −2%. Shares rose 3% premarket.

Astronomers report comet 3I/ATLAS has flipped from a rare sunward anti‑tail to a classic tail pointing away from the Sun, as confirmed by Nordic Optical Telescope data. Scientists attribute the shift to changing drivers: CO2 jets far out pushing dust sunward, then water‑ice sublimation nearer the Sun; NASA instruments estimate about 330 pounds per second of mass loss, mostly carbon dioxide. Debate simmers after Harvard’s Avi Loeb floated an artificial‑origin idea, which most researchers reject. With the comet behind the Sun, space telescopes carry monitoring until its expected reappearance in early November.

BBC Verify reports hundreds of Russian Africa Corps fighters have deployed in Mali after Wagner’s withdrawal, with French officials estimating 2,500 mercenaries and authenticated footage showing combat in Niono and recovered weapons and motorcycles. Separately, new satellite images show the White House East Wing has been completely demolished to make way for President Donald Trump’s planned $300m ballroom, slated to seat 650, with officials saying the rebuild will finish long before his term ends in January 2029. The live blog also flags investigations into Khartoum “ghost flights,” a Louvre robbery video, and a Ukraine allies meeting in London.
