Cucumber water is 95 percent pure H2O, so we get all the hydration power with less boredom. It’s a much more fun way to reap the benefits of complete hydration, like increased energy, better brain function, and better digestion. Helps lose weight If you’re trying to lose weight, replacing sugary sodas, sports drinks, and juices with cucumber water can help you cut some important calories from your diet. Staying hydrated also helps us feel full. Sometimes the body mistakes thirst for hunger. We can feel that we are hungry, when in fact we are thirsty. So it is best to…

For these core exercises, a yoga ball (also called a stability, fitness, or Swiss ball) can help a lot. This tool is rarely used because many do not know how to introduce it in training. Luckily, we reveal an intense routine to tone up with ball crunches. It is important to make sure the ball is the correct size for the height. In each exercise, we will focus on strengthening the abdomen, not just sucking in the belly. Studies show that this type of movement can activate more core muscles, which means we build strength in the pelvis, back, and…

Until now, the most modern tool for insulin control was FreeStyle Libre-type patches. However, scientists continue to search for gadgets that go more unnoticed. For example, a diabetes necklace that is controlled by sweat. This new smart collar capable of measuring various chemicals and concentrations in sweat could change the lives of some 400 million diabetics worldwide by eliminating the need for finger-prick blood tests. The device features a biochemical sensor clasp and pendant on the back that, when worn around the neck, captures glucose and serotonin levels. Biointuitive sensors During a human test, engineers at the ohio state university…

However, it is important to consider the type of running you do when you breastfeed. Strenuous exercise has been shown in some studies to lead to increased levels of lactic acid in human milk: some mothers report that their baby is fussy some time later, but report no effect on milk supply or the your baby’s growth. If this is the case, we will wait 90 minutes for the lactic acid to leave the milk supply before nursing. Can running cause mastitis? No. But we must be smart about what we use. We’ll make sure the sports bra isn’t too…

In principle, not all foods cook well in the fryer. Some will get too soggy, too messy, or just cook unevenly. So, before we experiment with another air fryer creation, we’ll make sure to keep in mind these foods that will never cook in the air fryer. Foods with moist batter This means that it is messy and the dough does not solidify. We won’t get that crunch when fried in traditional oil. Instead of dipping food into a wet batter, like chicken, we’ll make a healthier layer of breadcrumbs. We will dip the chicken in eggs and coat it…

Benefits of its use There is a lot of versatility with the sled. We can push it, pull it, drag it in a harness, and easily manipulate it by varying the weight, sets, and work/rest intervals to achieve different training goals. Pushing or pulling a weightless (or light) sled for a longer period of time will definitely test cardiovascular endurance so that we can sustain activity for longer periods of time. Increased muscle hypertrophy The prowler thrust engages the quads, glutes, abdominals, erectors, and upper body to remain rigid and contracted for extended periods of time. This stiffness helps increase…

Just like humans, dogs are susceptible to painful sunburn and skin cancer after prolonged exposure to the sun, which can also lead to hair loss. Exposed areas of skin on the lips, nose, ears, and belly are especially vulnerable to sun damage, while breeds with short or fine fur are also at high risk. Even if a dog has white or particularly light-colored fur, they are at higher risk of sunburn, as more of the harmful UV rays can reach their skin. Any pet with white fur is at increased risk of developing burns from prolonged sun exposure, especially on…

There are hundreds of lymph nodes located throughout the human body. They are found in various places, including the armpits, neck, groin, abdomen, and chest. Lymph nodes contain cells that are crucial to the body’s immune response, as these immune cells attack and destroy organisms carried in the lymphatic fluid as it travels through the body. Benefits Lymphatic drainage massage can improve circulation throughout the body’s lymphatic system and can also help reduce swelling. This type of therapy may be part of a treatment program known in the medical profession as lymphatic decongestive therapy. Lymphatic drainage massage can be beneficial…

Many of us were taught from an early age that it is not polite to eat with our mouths open, so we have adopted a smaller, socially acceptable chew. However, an expert from the University of Oxford encourages us to disobey the teachings of our parents and take the biggest bites we can. This is because the compounds that give our food flavor are better able to reach the back of the nose when chewing with your mouth open. So it looks like we’ve been doing it all wrong. Parents instill manners in their children, extolling the virtues of chewing…
