Why I Quit Drinking 28 Liters of Carbonated Beverages Per Week and How It Changed My Life You may think that a part-time employee would want to take their time shopping at a peaceful Aldi at 11 a.m. on a weekday, but I have never seen that to be the case. To avoid panicking if I run out of fizzy drinks in the middle of the week, Mondays are my hard-lifting days. To quench my thirst, I normally try to get 14 two-liter bottles. Without fizzy pop, I couldn’t picture my existence. Since I’ve been drinking it for more than…
Slowing Down Aging with the Green Mediterranean Diet: A Delicious Way to Boost Brain Health There are days when my accomplishments astound me. On other days, however, I store my keys in the refrigerator. If this sounds like you and you’re nearing middle age, wondering how to keep your memory and brain healthy, you may want to try the green Mediterranean diet. A modified Mediterranean diet that incorporates green tea and green smoothies may be even more effective than the original in delaying the aging process of the brain, according to research from BGU University in Israel. Dietitian Laura Clark…
Sticking to real food is a wonderful place to start since certain meals may help the brain stay in better shape and minimize inflammation. Unfortunately, my mother is at home and doesn’t recognize me after developing dementia at the age of 85. None of us want that destiny. I believed at the time that dementia was mostly a hereditary disorder and that your only option was to wait for researchers to provide a cure. It was gloomy. Despite the lack of miraculous medication, we are living in a new age. We are aware that genetics plays a part, but it…
The True Health Benefits of Giving Up Bread My weakness is bread. I adore rye bread, bagels, sourdough, sliced white toast, and crispy white rolls. I am not unique because of this. White bread makes up 71% of all bread consumed by Britons, who consume 37 kg per person per year, or 46 big sliced loaves, and purchase 11 million loaves daily. I don’t have an off switch, and to make matters worse, it’s never satisfying. Rather, it functions as a gateway drug that quickly leads to cookies and, eventually, Mr. Kipling’s arms. Although I don’t have a wheat or…
Five Dinnertime Foods to Aid with Digestion Ultimately, your eagerly anticipated supper is most likely the only thing on your mind. On your way home, you might buy a fast food sandwich or eat a cheesy bowl of spaghetti, but you’re searching for something quick, simple, and just as filling. It’s difficult to predict how your body will respond after you’ve stopped eating since, even though you’ve eaten dinner, your body is still beginning to break down the food. Consider including a handful of these filling items in your final meal of the day if that seems a little too…
Experts Explain What It Means to Drink Moderately Festive decorations, handmade cookies, nostalgic films, and an abundance of celebratory, alcoholic beverages are all part of the Christmas season. But particularly on the shorter, darker winter days, it’s difficult to resist the urge to open a bottle of wine when the marathon of Christmas gatherings and mingling is finished. It’s common knowledge that consuming excessive amounts of intoxicating drinks is bad for our health, which is why medical experts often provide this well-worn advice: Drink sparingly. However, what does “moderate drinking” really mean? Is it an intuitive rule or a technical…
Dark Meat vs White Meat: Which is Healthier and Why? One of the most adaptable (and delectable!) meats is fowl, which can be used for everything from Thanksgiving turkey to game day wings. It is a mainstay in many dishes and cuisines since it is also a great source of protein. However, you may be curious about the distinction between white meat vs dark meat—and if one is healthier than the other—if you’re purchasing individual pieces or slicing into a whole bird. To learn more about white meat vs dark meat and how to choose the best option for you…
Is Rolled Oats Better for Your Health Than Steel Cut Oats? Grain of the oat kind has been a mainstay for thousands of years. The most popular application for them is to create oatmeal, also referred to as porridge or hot cereal. It just takes a glance at the dietary data to see why oats, like eggs, are a popular breakfast option. In addition to offering vital vitamins and protein, they are renowned for having a high fiber content, which encourages regularity and prolongs feelings of fullness. There is more than one kind of oat to choose from when you…
How to Use 70p Dried Prunes to Strengthen Bones in Your Favorite Dishes For many years, prunes were mainly used in kitchen cabinets to treat constipation. However, as we learn more about the health advantages of this often-maligned dried fruit, this may change. They are inexpensive, only contain 20 calories per dried prune, and are high in fiber (yep, they keep you regular). They also include vital micronutrients like potassium, boron, and vitamin K that promote bone health, as well as antioxidants that prevent cancer. Researchers at Penn State University conducted the “Prune Study,” which discovered that eating five to…
Squats: The Miracle Workout When Done Right I worked out with the strength and conditioning coach at my club when I first resumed rowing at the age of 48. He identified the issue as soon as he saw my pitiful efforts at a barbell back squat. Even without a weight on the bar on my back, I could hardly bend my legs halfway, and it wasn’t because of my weak quadriceps and glutes, hips, or unsteady knees, but rather because my ankles weren’t functional. I was irritated after ten years of power-walking marathons. However, it’s a typical issue. Indeed, research…
