00:00Could a weight loss jab save your life, even if you don't lose much weight?
00:04New research says yes.
00:06A groundbreaking global study has revealed that Ozempic, known for helping people lose weight,
00:11dramatically reduces the risk of heart attacks and strokes, regardless of how many pounds are lost.
00:16The secret? A powerful ingredient called semaglutide.
00:20Involving over 17,000 patients across 41 countries,
00:23researchers found that even people with average weight loss saw major heart health improvements.
00:28Interestingly, shrinking waist size played a part, reducing heart risk by nearly 20%,
00:34but two-thirds of the benefit couldn't be explained by weight loss alone.
00:38Experts now believe Ozempic does much more than suppress appetite.
00:42It may directly combat heart disease and other aging-related illnesses.
00:47This discovery could reshape how doctors prescribed the drug,
00:50expanding its use to millions more at risk of heart problems, not just those with high BMI.
00:55So, is Ozempic more than just a slimming jab?
00:59It might just be a life-saving treatment hiding in plain sight.
