Listen to the story

A French health programme, Le Mag de la santé, has featured a segment about the many benefits of breathing.

The episode described breathing as having "super-powers," suggesting it can strongly support both physical and mental health.

TV host Flavie Flament commented on the show, saying that the evidence was undeniable. This means the facts are so strong that no one can argue against them.

Meanwhile, another familiar face from the programme, Jimmy Mohamed, has spoken publicly about a personal issue.

Mohamed was previously a regular presenter on Le Mag de la santé, but he has now been removed from the show.

This kind of removal from a job or role is often called an eviction.

Mohamed reacted strongly to the news, describing it as a real "waste." He seemed to feel that his removal was unnecessary and disappointing.

By speaking out in public, Mohamed made his opinion widely known, and his comments quickly drew attention.

The situation highlights how changes in TV presenting teams can create strong reactions, both from the people involved and from viewers who are used to seeing familiar faces.

While the show continues to focus on useful health topics, such as the benefits of breathing, the departure of a well-known host has become a talking point of its own.
