After posting a photo of herself on Instagram looking noticeably slimmer, Ana Navarro responded to a comment accusing her of using Ozempic in which she vehemently denied the rumors. Instead, the talk show host revealed the heartbreaking death of her mother, Violeta, sparked the desire to change.
“In 2021, my mom died of kidney disease brought on by diabetes,” she replied. “She suffered terribly the last years of her life. That scared the bejeezus out of me.” Navarro revealed she was on the verge of being pre-diabetic and knew something had to change. “I’ve struggled with my weight my entire life. The pandemic and menopause made it worse,” she wrote.
Maintaining a healthy weight is a common struggle. According to the World Health Organization, obesity kills 2.8 million people every year. It also causes a slew of illnesses like hypertension, stroke, and clinical depression. While there’s no suggestion that Navarro suffered from any of those conditions, her decision to change her lifestyle to a healthier one is one she’s no doubt pleased to have made.
