What you need to know about intermittent fasting

Image
Most of us are wired to eat three meals a day, with five- to six-hour intervals between meals. Medical studies show that fasting for about three days or even a week may help improve the immune system or general health condition. A new diet trend called intermittent fasting integrates fasting into the daily eating schedule.     The practice of intermittent fasting or the eat-and-fast plan varies, according to practitioners. But there are two main approaches. The first is to limit calorie intake to 500-600 calories for two days a week and eat normally for five days a week. The second is to limit the eating time period to within an eight- to ten-hour window. For example, you may schedule your meals between 9 a.m. and 7 p.m and fast outside those hours. While this eating pattern may help lose pounds, experts say it can have detrimental effects on a person’s health. It can trigger or worsen eating disorders. Intermittent fasting may promote the unhealthy bi...

The key to parents living longer, healthier, well-planned lives

Image
Whether through high-interest savings accounts, savings plans, and educational plans, parents invest in various tools to help them finance the needs of their children as they grow into adults. However, parents need to look at their own future beyond the needs of their kids as well. Their need for financial security and health protection continues even after retirement, which might make it difficult for them to allot funds for those needs. Keeping their finances secure with a tool that can protect their health and future income is essential so they don’t deplete their savings should an emergency arise. In 2016, the World Health Organization said that life expectancy across the globe has increased by five years since 2000. This is a result of better access to basic healthcare and innovations in preventing treatable diseases. While this information bides good fortune, there is a growing need for older adults to better plan for their futures when they no longer receive a regular i...

Going against his parents’ wishes turned out to be the best move for Serbian Muay Thai star Ognjen Topic

Image
Had Serbian-American kickboxer Ognjen Topic followed his parents’ wishes, it is more than likely that he would not be where he is today. Regarded as one of the best Muay Thai competitors to come out of the United States, he began as an avid follower of combat sports early in life, but it came with much hesitation from his mother and father. Coming to the United States from Serbia at the tender age of nine, Topic grew up in New Jersey and found himself becoming an ardent viewer of boxing matches. With the “Sweet Science” piquing his interest, Topic wanted to take up the sport, but his request would be shut down by his parents. Eventually, persistence paid off for Topic as he earned his parents’ blessing to take up the Korean martial art of Tae Kwon Do. Topic began at 14 years old and was a black belt by at the age of 17. As impressive a feat that is, Topic wanted more. Eventually, he stumbled upon Muay Thai, which sparked his desire even more. “It still ...
