Wooing Canadian tourists, DNC turmoil, trouble at the Louvre: Catch up on the day's stories
👋 Welcome to 5 Things PM! Mothers bear much of the burden for a child's physical, emotional and cognitive growth. But a large new study found that a father's poor mental health also could harm his kids' development.
Here's what else you might have missed during your busy day.
1️⃣ Border tension: States along the US-Canada border have seen steep drops in tourism, so they're rolling out deals aimed at wooing back visitors. Some are offering special pricing to Canadians to offset the strong dollar.
2️⃣ DNC turmoil: Union leaders and longtime Democratic National Committee members Randi Weingarten and Lee Saunders resigned from the national party, marking the latest internal dispute of chairman Ken Martin's tenure.
3️⃣ Food safety: Illnesses such as salmonella and E. coli crop up more often during the summer. Recent outbreaks were linked to eggs, cucumbers and ground beef. CNN wellness expert Dr. Leana Wen explains how to keep safe.
4️⃣ Too many tourists: The Louvre — the world's most-visited museum and a global symbol of art and beauty — remains closed. The Paris landmark's staff said they're exhausted and overwhelmed and the institution is crumbling from within.
5️⃣ Wearable tech: Samsung wants a bigger piece of the digital health market, and the company's upcoming smartwatch update is another step in that direction as it tries to catch up to Apple. Both are experiencing slower smartphone sales.

Growing number of Americans 55 and older are experiencing homelessness. Health workers worry about the "most vulnerable."
Why is the homeless population getting so much older? Homelessness in America has been steadily ticking up in recent years. In 2024, the United States saw an 18% increase in the homeless population from the year before — and those providing essential services like health care and housing assistance say they're most concerned about the aging population. More than 140,000 Americans who are 55 or older are experiencing homelessness on any given day, and that number is estimated to nearly triple by 2030, according to a 2019 report. Rose Del Rosario is among the aging homeless population growing across the United States. The 65-year-old has high blood pressure and lifelong asthma. One morning, she received an atypical house call from Daniel Speller, a physician associate with Healthcare in Action, a nonprofit providing assistance to people like Del Rosario across California. Speller took her vitals inside a medical van parked across the street from her RV in San Pedro. Del Rosario doesn't have health insurance, so she would sometimes purchase inhalers from people or find them in the trash. While she said she doesn't feel safe using them, she had no money left after her husband died several years ago — and that's how she wound up on the streets. When asked how she feels about navigating homelessness at this age, she said it makes her feel older. "I feel like it's aging me. I feel like it's aging me a lot," Del Rosario told CBS News. "It's just hard to live like this." Rose Del Rosario, 65, of California is among the growing population of seniors across the U.S. who are experiencing homelessness. CBS News Approximately 20% of the more than 771,000 people who were unhoused in the U.S. as of January 2024 were 55 and older, according to the Department of Housing and Urban Development's data. Homelessness is often caused by the death of a spouse, divorce, joblessness, eviction or mounting medical issues, the U.S. Interagency Council on Homelessness says. "These are folks entering the stage where they're starting to have multiple complex chronic medical conditions that need to be met, and they're just not being met," Speller told CBS News. "They're also the most vulnerable." Dennis Culhane, a professor at the University of Pennsylvania whose research focuses on homelessness and assisted housing policy, told CBS News that the aging trend in the homeless population has been going on for 30 years. The second half of the Baby Boomers generation — those born between 1955 and 1964 — have constituted the largest subsegment of the U.S. population since 1990, Culhane explained on "CBS Evening News." Because there are more of them, it puts them at higher risk of homelessness, Culhane said, but there are also other factors. "They came of age in the early 1980s at a time when there was very high unemployment and housing costs were rising," he said. "A lot of these folks were unable to get into the labor market by their mid-20s, so they've struggled for years trying to get a toehold in the workforce." When asked about the impact of the trend of public policy, Culhane said the major impact is on health care systems. "They end up hospitalized at very high rates. They often can't be discharged in a timely fashion because they have no place to go back to and no family to support them. So they often will end up in nursing homes, even though in those nursing homes they will often get discharged right back into homelessness," Culhane said. Healthcare in Action CEO Dr. Indu Subaiya said she fears the impact rising costs and potential cuts to government programs like Medicaid will have on seniors. "I don't believe we should be cutting Medicaid for those populations. We should leave those intact. And that will be so, so helpful to people not falling further into the hole," Subaiya told CBS News. At 65 years old, Del Rosario says she thought she'd be somewhere else for retirement. "On a nice comfortable rocking chair waiting for the casserole to come out of the oven," she said. "I didn't think it would be like this."

These eight foods get more healthy after you let them cool
If you are looking to get more nutritional benefits from your food, there are eight pantry staples which become more healthy when cooled, according to nutritionists. The foods can help regulate your blood sugar, improve your gut health and even prevent chronic diseases, according to which compiled the list based on nutritionists' opinions. When cooled, white rice forms resistant starch, which can help regulate your blood sugar, reducing the risk of type 2 diabetes. Resistant starch is 'a carbohydrate that resists digestion in the small intestine and ferments in the large intestine,' according to Johns Hopkins. Resistant starch acts as a prebiotic and feeds the good bacteria in your gut. You can enjoy cooled white rice in a salmon bowl. Add cooked or canned salmon to the cooled white rice with sriracha and kewpie mayo. You can also add dried seaweed and cucumbers, plus black sesame seeds for garnish. Cooled oats also form resistant starch that helps regulate your blood sugar and supports gut health. Overnight oats have become increasingly popular because they're a convenient way to get a balanced breakfast. Just simply mix oats and milk in a container with a lid, add whatever toppings you prefer to it and let it refrigerate for at least two hours. Cooled potatoes are another good choice for upping your resistant starch intake. Try making a refreshing Greek yogurt and dill potato salad, perfect for the summer. Dill is another food that is healthier when stored in the fridge. cited a 2017 study published by Antioxidants that found dill has more phenolic acids when cooled for 15 days. Phenolic acids are natural antioxidants that can help prevent chronic diseases. In the same vein, you could also make a pasta salad filled with vegetables and a light vinaigrette for a healthy meal. Pasta also forms resistant starch when cooled, as does Barley. So, feel free to experiment in the kitchen using different combinations of these carbs, fresh vegetables and dressings for a healthy and delicious summer salad. You can even add some beans to your salad for not only added fiber and protein but also resistant starch. Cooled pinto beans were found to have the highest levels of resistant starch in a 2016 study published by NFS Journal, reported. Lastly, an easy way to get resistant starch is to put your freshly baked bread in the fridge for seven days and then enjoy any sandwich of your liking.

Unauthorized sexual enhancement pills seized from B.C., Ontario stores
Health Canada has seized multiple unauthorized sexual enhancement pills from stores in B.C. and Ontario, issuing a Monday warning about how the products could pose serious health risks. The pills were added to an ongoing list of seizures maintained by the health agency on Monday, and include products with the brand names Rhino 7 725K, Etumax VIP Royal Honey for Him, and Premium S.W.A.G. Health Canada says that anyone who has these products should stop using them, and consult their health-care professional if they have concerns. Two of the ingredients in the seized pills are sildenafil and tadalafil, prescription drugs used to treat erectile dysfunction that the agency notes should be used only under the supervision of a health-care professional. If used in combination with any kind of nitrate drug, they can cause "potentially life-threatening low blood pressure," Health Canada said, and anyone with heart problems would be at an increased risk for heart attack, stroke, chest pain, high blood pressure and abnormal heartbeat. Two of the products were being sold by Artisan Smoke Shop on West Broadway in Vancouver, according to Health Canada. An Artisan spokesperson told CBC News via email that they only had two units of the products at the time of the inspection. "In response to the recall, we take these matters seriously and will not be carrying these products in the future," the spokesperson said. "We're committed to ensuring all items we sell meet Health Canada's safety standards." Health Canada also seized three other products, one from a store on Steeles Avenue in Toronto and two from a store on Kingston Road in Pickering, Ont.
