Glamorous daughter of sporting legend slams claims she's a nepo baby as she prepares to launch new podcast

Cricket commentator Grace Hayden has come to her own defence after being branded a ' nepo baby '. The glamorous sports presenter, who is the daughter of cricket icon Matthew Hayden, hit back at claims she has achieved success thanks to her famous dad, revealing it was actually a lot tougher to make a name for herself in the industry. 'More often than not, you have to work harder to prove to yourself that you actually deserve to be there,' the 23-year-old told The Sunday Telegraph. 'So I love that challenge aspect of the situation that I am so grateful and lucky to be born into, but it's a genuine passion and love that I have for the game, and I couldn't see myself doing anything else now.' But while Grace hasn't relied on on her father's name, she admits that he's her biggest supporter. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. 'He's always stoked to see me achieve new heights and we always have a laugh together.' Grace, who recently went international after covering the cricket in India, is set to lead cricket coverage in one of its biggest untapped markets - America. Hosting a new weekly video podcast called Game On With Grace, she will aim to introduce cricket to a broader U.S. audience through engaging stories, conversations and personalities. The show will stream on Willow, the premier cricket network in the United States, known for its 24-hour cricket coverage across the country. Cricket has long struggled to gain traction in the US, but Grace's podcast signals a modern, media-savvy approach to breaking through in a competitive sporting landscape. She hopes to bridge the gap between the cricketing world and American viewers by showcasing the sport's energy, global appeal and human stories. Her debut guest will be Adam Gilchrist, a fellow Australian cricket great and one of the most iconic wicketkeeper-batsmen in history. Together, Gilchrist and Grace's dad Matthew helped Australia dominate world cricket in the early 2000s, and now their legacy continues through Grace and her groundbreaking podcast. 'Game On is about pulling back the curtain on the world of sports' untold stories,' Grace said. 'I grew up in cricket's front row and have covered its biggest tournaments, but the moments that fascinate me most happen off camera. 'Partnering with Willow allows me to share those raw, funny, and inspiring conversations with athletes, artists, and anyone chasing greatness. 'I can't wait to bring these stories to fans each week on the Willow app and wherever they listen to podcasts.'

Eating 1 egg per week linked to lower Alzheimer's risk, study finds

A study finds that eating eggs is associated with a reduced risk of developing Alzheimer's brain autopsies, the scientists also showed that those who ate eggs more regularly had less protein buildup in the brain associated with Alzheimer' researchers conclude that this link may be due to eggs' choline and omega-3 have been a dietary staple since before humans evolved to be humans. Although they are packed with nutrients, relatively cost-effective, and easy to source, they have been the subject of much controversy in the health and wellness domain over the years.A study whose results appear in The Journal of Nutrition, however, may help reestablish their good reputation. According to the authors, eating one egg per week was associated with a 47% reduction in Alzheimer's risk compared with eating eggs less than once each month. They also showed that those eating eggs had a reduced buildup of the toxic proteins associated with Alzheimer' we get into the details, we should mention that some of the authors received funding from the Egg Nutrition Center, 'the science and nutrition education division of the American Egg Board.'The trouble with eggs: Are they good or bad for health?Are eggs good for you or bad for you? One hundred years ago, and for thousands of years before that, eggs were considered essential. Nutrient-dense and rich in protein and micronutrients, eggs were a staple throughout the a few decades ago, scientists found that high levels of cholesterol in the blood were a risk factor for heart disease, so high-cholesterol eggs were pushed to the naughty as nutrition science progressed, it became clear that dietary cholesterol did not significantly impact blood levels of to this new understanding, and a healthy dose of research funding from the Egg Nutrition Center, eggs were edged slowly back into saturated fat content, though, is still a concern, so eggs are still partially sidelined. Still, they are likely much healthier than many of the low-fat, highly processed snacks that have replaced eggs in modern kitchens. In fact, eggs contain all essential trace most nutritionists and associated experts have a relatively neutral view of eggs. In general, the advice is that they can form a part of a healthy, well-balanced diet, but at the same time, eating multiple eggs per day could be and Alzheimer's: What is the link?Alzheimer's is the most common form of dementia, and despite decades of research, there is no cure, and treatments that can slow the disease are severely that reason, understanding the lifestyle factors associated with increased risk is essential. In this vein, many scientists are focusing on dietary research has shown that choline is important for cognitive function. It has also identified a potential link between moderate choline intake and a reduced risk of dementia. As the authors of the latest study explain, eggs are the 'top food source' of choline, so they are worth investigating. Choline has many important functions; for instance, it is a precursor to the neurotransmitter acetylcholine, plays a pivotal role in cell membranes, and has neuroprotective powers. Also, as the authors explain, 'choline modulates the expression of key genes related to memory, learning, and cognitive functions via epigenetic mechanisms.'Although our body can synthesise choline, it cannot synthesize enough to meet all the body's needs, so some must be taken in with our diet. Aside from choline, eggs contain essential omega-3 fatty acids, which support brain health as we age. Worryingly, studies show that the majority of adults in the United States do not consume enough of these essential fatty facts led the authors of the new study to investigate links between egg consumption and Alzheimer's risk and less protein buildupThe recent study included data from 1,024 older adults with an average age of 81.4. All participants lived in retirement communities and residential facilities in Illinois. They attended yearly checkups and completed food frequency questionnaires, and the researchers followed them for an average of 6.7 years. During this time, a little over one-quarter of them developed Alzheimer's analysis, the scientists found that individuals who consumed at least one egg per week had a 47% reduced risk of developing Alzheimer's during follow-up compared with those eating one egg per month or the second part of their study, they looked at the post-mortem brains of 578 participants. They found that those who ate one or more eggs each week were more likely to have less Alzheimer's-associated protein and omega-3 synergyOverall, the authors suggest that consuming at least one egg per week may help reduce the risk of Alzheimer's. They explain that the choline and omega-3s in eggs might have a 'synergistic' effect, whereby they join forces to protect brain health during News Today spoke to Christopher U. Missling, PhD, president and CEO of Anavex Life Sciences, who was not involved in the study. Missling explained that:'About 39–40% of the protective effect was explained by higher dietary choline intake. Egg yolks also contain omega-3 fatty acids, which have known neuroprotective properties. The combination of choline and omega-3s may be particularly beneficial for brain health.'The study authors also point to previous research demonstrating that people with Alzheimer's are more likely to be deficient in omega-3s and the scientists conclude that, 'once replicated in other prospective cohorts and confirmed by clinical trials, these findings may have important public health implications for reducing the population's risk of [Alzheimer's].'If the results are replicated, this could be a very useful, low-cost intervention. MNT also spokle with Maddie Gallivan, RD, a registered dietitian who was likewise not involved in the recent study.'Eggs are often a go-to food for older adults, as they're soft in texture, which can be helpful for those with dentures, quick to prepare, and packed with key nutrients,' Gallivan explained. 'So it's great to see a study focussing on how they may support cognitive health in later life.'Limitations and future researchHowever, the study does have certain limitations. For instance, they only had a relatively short follow-up — just 6.7 years. This, as the authors explain, increases the risk of reverse causality. 'The study population consisted of older adults from the Rush Memory and Aging Project, a specific U.S.-based cohort,' Missling told MNT. 'The findings may not generalize to younger populations or those from different cultural or dietary backgrounds.'He also reminded us that 'dietary intake was assessed through self-reported food frequency questionnaires, which are subject to recall bias and inaccuracies.' So, participants may not have accurately reported or remembered their egg consumption.'It's important to remember that no single food acts in isolation,' Gallivan told us, 'and it's our overall dietary pattern that really counts. A varied, nutrient-dense diet rich in whole foods is key to supporting brain health and reducing dementia risk.'For now, if you like eggs, enjoy them. They may reduce your dementia risk, but if not, they will certainly provide you with a good dose of protein and a healthy range of micronutrients.

As the World Turns star Eileen Fulton dead at 91: Actress played iconic 'bad girl' for half a century

As the World Turns star Eileen Fulton, who acted on the legendary soap opera on and off for half a century, has died at the age of 91. She won the hearts of fans as the scenery-chewing 'bad girl' Lisa Grimaldi, a role she originated in 1960 and played for the final time on the show's last episode in 2010. Fulton has revealed that although Lisa was conceived as a 'sweet girl next door,' she felt the character was insufficiently interesting and so she delivered her lines in a 'conniving' fashion that prompted the writers to change course and make her sinister. Over the decades her character grew from a young 'vixen' - whom Time magazine once branded a 'superb****' - into a gentler grande dame. At one point during the show, Fulton famously had a 'granny clause' installed in her contract that would prevent Lisa from having grandchildren, for fear that she would be written off the show if her character were seen as old and irrelevant. She died July 14 in her hometown of Ashville, North Carolina 'after a period of declining health,' according to an obituary from the local Groce Funeral Home. Although she was born in Asheville in 1933, she had a peripatetic childhood as a result of her father's vocation as a Methodist minister. She had the performing bug from the age of two, when she cut into one of her father's services by singing the old folk song Shortnin' Bread and braved the resultant spanking, she told the Washington Post. Fulton majored in music at Greensboro College and her father got her a job in a church choir, but she was determined to move to New York City, harboring dreams 'of being the greatest actress on Broadway.' After studying under the seminal acting teachers Sanford Meisner and Lee Strasberg, as well as modern dance pioneer Martha Graham, she embarked on a showbiz career that finally took off in 1960 when she was cast on As the World Turns. Over the next 50 years, she repeatedly left the show - 'I've quit forever three times,' she once drily remarked - but always wound up coming back. In the early years of the show, Fulton worked tirelessly to juggle the soap and the New York stage, acting in such shows as The Fantasticks and as a replacement in the original Broadway production of Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?. But her most enduring role, the one that cemented her position in showbiz history, was as the stylish and ruthlessly conniving Lisa on As the World Turns. She cycled through a dizzying succession of what eventually turned out to be eight husbands, remaining herself a consistently tantalizing presence on the show. Fulton was the one who changed the character from the 'sweet girl' she was originally conceived as into the scenery-chewing villainess she became. Since the show was filmed live, she felt she could not 'change her lines' but she could 'change my intentions once we were on the air,' she told the Television Academy.
