COREY TAYLOR Has Been On A "Plant-Based Diet" For Months, To Open Taco Truck with His Wife, Alicia – Metal Injection.net

Posted: April 24, 2020 at 3:49 am

Slipknot frontman Corey Taylor and his wife Alicia were teasing a big announcement last month, and they spilled the beans during a recent interview they are opening a taco truck!

In a new video interview with Rock Feed, Corey and Alicia revealed they'd been working on this for months, but got set back due to the quarantine. Corey also revealed that the taco truck will be "plant-based" and that a plant-based diet has improved his health dramatically.

"It was basically a [plant-based] taco food truck," he said. "We can't say vegan. 'Cause there will be some dairy in there, some stuff in there. But the main focus was flavor, not just content. 'Cause when people talk about vegan, they can become very pretentious This was a way for us to combine [our love of food] with a healthier [lifestyle]."

Alicia added: "Because a lot of people don't know this we went plant-based in August [or] September, and we saw the benefits immediately." Corey concurred, saying: "My cholesterol dropped, like, 80 point I was even trying to eat better, and yet my cholesterol wasn't going anywhere. And as soon as I [went plant-based], [the change in my cholesterol level was immediate]. It was pretty rad."

Alicia said: "And we don't wanna be super annoying about it, 'cause that can turn a lot of people off. It was just kind of a choice we made for us."

The Taylors got married last August.

Dove's group, The Cherry Bombs are releasing the second season of their show,Girl Gang,on their Youtube channelnext month.

Four healthy eating strategies to work on while staying at home – The Globe and Mail

Posted: April 24, 2020 at 3:48 am

If youve been wanting to improve your diet, expand your cooking skills, or even lose a few pounds, this is an excellent time to start.

People are hyper-focused on food now, understandably: how to shop for it safely, how to clean it and how to improvise when staples run low. Then theres the cooking (and baking) to do.

Being housebound during the COVID-19 pandemic has made putting home-cooked meals on the table more challenging. But, when it comes to healthy eating, it also presents a real opportunity.

If youve been wanting to improve your diet, expand your cooking skills, or even lose a few pounds, this is an excellent time to start.

Story continues below advertisement

Many of my clients, whom Im now working with virtually, have echoed this sentiment. Having greater control over their food environment (e.g., no restaurant eating, social receptions or other distractions) has helped them build a new routine around their diet, one that they feel confident about maintaining when we emerge from this.

Of course, not all of us have been on this path. For some, feeling stressed, anxious and bored has meant regularly turning to high-calorie comfort foods.

Regardless of where you stand on the healthy eating track, consider working toward a positive dietary goal while social distancing. Doing so can help bolster your nutrient intake, your energy level and your mood. Here are four suggestions.

If you start the day with nutrition in mind, youre likely to plan the rest of your meals and snacks in the same vein.

It also creates structure around meal times, something that, for many people, has been disrupted by staying home all the time. Eating breakfast first thing (e.g., before you check e-mails or the news) will help prevent grazing your way through the day.

A nutritious and satiating breakfast should include protein, fibre-rich whole grains, whole fruit and/or vegetables and healthy fats. Build breakfasts around immune-supportive nutrients such as vitamins A, C and E, folate, zinc and omega-3 fats.

Try overnight oats soaked in kefir (a source of gut-friendly prebiotics and probiotics) topped with sliced strawberries (vitamin C; thaw frozen berries in fridge overnight) and chopped walnuts (omega-3s).

Or, whole grain toast spread with mashed avocado (folate) served with a smoothie made with yogurt (vitamin A, zinc), mango (vitamin C) and ground flax (omega-3s).

What to buy if youre worried about the coronavirus

What do provinces consider essential businesses in a coronavirus pandemic? The lists so far

Getting more of your protein from plants versus animals means that youre also getting more fibre, antioxidants and protective plant phytochemicals. Excellent sources of plant protein include beans, lentils, soybeans, edamame, tofu, tempeh, nuts and seeds.

Use kidney beans, black beans and chickpeas to make a vegetarian chili. Add black beans or pinto beans to tacos, burritos, quesadillas and nachos instead of meat.

Toss white kidney beans into a tomato sauce for pasta; roast chickpeas for snacks; add shelled edamame to stir-fries, salads and soups and make a tofu scrambler for breakfast.

Whole grains deliver some protein, too. Create a plant-based bowl using quinoa, freekeh, farro, red rice, black rice or brown rice.

If youd like to lose some weight, use this time to get a handle on your portion sizes. Pull out the food scale to weigh cooked fish, chicken and meat. In general, aim for three to four ounces (women) or four to six ounces (men).

Story continues below advertisement

Use measuring cups for cooked grains and pasta and teaspoons and tablespoons for cooking oil and seeds.

If you prefer to eyeball serving sizes, fill half your plate with vegetables, one-quarter with protein and one-quarter with starchy foods. Consider serving your meal on a luncheon-sized plate (7 to 9 inches in diameter) instead of a dinner plate.

Dont eat out of the bag (or box); measure or count out one serving and put it on a small plate.

Approaching meals and snacks with your full attention can help distinguish between emotional and physical hunger.

To practise mindful eating, take time to sit down, without distractions, to enjoy your meals. Put down your cutlery between mouthfuls and chew thoroughly. Take time to savour your food. Pay attention to its colour, aroma, taste and texture.

Tune in to your hunger cues; eat until you feel satisfied, not full.

COVID-19: loneliness is the other great threat | theHRD – The HR Director Magazine

Posted: April 24, 2020 at 3:48 am

As the UK enters its fifth week in lockdown, health service provider, Cigna Europe is urging Brits to remain as connected as possible to mitigate the major health issues social isolation can bring.

With more than nine million people1 regularly experiencing loneliness before the pandemic began, Dr Peter Mills and Dr Inge Schrever, doctors responsible for Cignas medical team, explain why the lack of social interaction and face to face contact with friends and loved ones can lead to a number of health issues, both physically and psychologically.

COVID-19 is not only a life-threatening global health crisis for many societies, its also becoming a major social crisis, says Dr Mills. The pandemic is unprecedented for the entire world, and is having a tremendous impact on healthcare professionals, businesses, and above all, individual people. Were having to adjust to dealing with uncertainty, working differently, having to home school children, and trying to make sure that everybody stays healthy, safe, and is physically active.

Dr Schrever added: Feelings of loneliness can happen because of many factors, however in this current period of social isolation, it most frequently arises because of the forced separation from those we love, or due to the lack of social connections with other people. For this reason, its important to bear in mind that, despite the fact that it is a temporary phenomenon, solitude during the isolation period can, without question, significantly reduce our quality of life, negatively impacting our health and well-being, especially among the most vulnerable groups. Although the seriousness of the situation is undeniable, the good news is that, by applying certain guidelines, we can help curb the feeling of loneliness, so that our health and wellbeing are not affected during this period.

To help people limit the impact of loneliness on their health and wellbeing during this time, Cigna Europe has outlined its top eight tips:

2. Use technology to create emotional connections. Social relationships are essential for both our physical and mental health. Now its more important than ever to maintain regular contact with our social circle. This can be done via video calls, instant messaging or phone conversations. However, we must use these means in a healthy way avoid placing COVID-19 at the centre of all conversations and try to talk about other things that will help distract us.

3. Practice meditation techniques. Mindfulness or conscious breathing can become great allies to calm anxiety and reduce stress. Breathing and meditation exercises can even help delay the ageing of our brain, helping the immune system react more strongly in the production of antibodies.

4. Maintain a certain level of physical activity. Physical exercise helps release endorphins in the brain, so if a certain level of activity is maintained during this period, the production levels of these hormones will remain high. There are many online resources available to help you exercise safely at home, whatever your fitness level.

5. Watch your diet its essential to improve our mood. Since approximately 95% of serotonin the hormone that works as a neurotransmitter and regulates sleep, appetite, and mood is produced in the gastrointestinal tract, a balanced diet will be essential to cope with loneliness, as indicated by Harvard University2. In this way, eating more foods such as white meat, eggs, pulses, whole grains, nuts, seeds, bananas or dark chocolate, always within the limits of a balanced diet, will contribute to improving our mood.

6. Communicate regularly with colleagues. Adjusting to working from home can impact peoples emotional well-being as the work environment is often a place for social interaction. For this reason, its important to continue maintaining regular communication with colleagues, either by phone, email or videoconference.

7. Get some sun, if possible. Sunlight strengthens our immune system and improves our mood, as it stimulates the synthesis of vitamin D, a key substance for the central nervous system that helps control depressive symptoms. Sun exposure should last between 10 and 20 minutes a day.

8. Establish a routine with regular sleep schedules. Its important to set schedules and maintain routines, especially regarding hours of sleep, eating and physical exercise. The longer we are busy, the lesser room for loneliness.

What to do if you find a baby bird on the ground – Deseret News

Posted: April 24, 2020 at 3:48 am

SALT LAKE CITY Have you ever wondered what to do if you find a baby bird while out for a walk or working in the yard?

According to the Utah Division of Wildlife Resources, its not uncommon to find a baby bird lying on the ground near a tree trunk. Many birds often leave their nests before they are able to fly, and some may also be blown out of nests during thunderstorms.

They usually chirp and call from the nest, waiting for their parents to bring food to them, Blair Stringham, migratory game bird program coordinator with the division, said in a statement. Sometimes, that results in them falling from their perch.

If you find a baby bird that doesnt have any feathers, put it back in the nest. If you cant find the nest, put it on a branch safely out of reach of dogs and cats.

The baby will squawk, and its parents will find it, Stringham said.

Dont be concerned about leaving your scent on the bird. Stringham said most birds do not have a good sense of smell, so if you pick a baby bird up, its parents wont even know youve handled it.

If the baby bird has feathers and hopping around, leave it alone. Its a fledgling, meaning it has its flight feathers and is close to taking its first flight.

If the bird isnt in danger, leave it be. This awkward hopping stage typically lasts two to five days. Its part of the natural process a baby bird goes through before taking its first flight. Its parents are watching the baby bird and are still feeding it.

If you think the fledgling is in immediate danger, then move it carefully to a safer spot nearby.

Stringham said people should never take a baby bird home, as most birds are protected by state and federal laws. And never feed a baby bird. Stringham said birds have a very specific diet and feeding them something thats not part of their diet can kill them.

For example, many people are surprised to learn that robins are among only a handful of birds that can safely eat worms. Most birds cant, Stringham said.

Additional information about how to help baby birds is also available on the Wild Aware Utah website at wildawareutah.org.

How will grocery shopping change after the coronavirus pandemic? – TODAY

Posted: April 24, 2020 at 3:48 am

Amid the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, grocery shopping has transitioned from being a routine errand to a potentially challenging, and even dangerous, task. Many shoppers are awaiting the day when waiting in line before even getting inside the store is a distant memory. But regardless of when that day comes, it's likely the pandemic will transform the way we shop for food for many years to come.

TODAY Food spoke with a few industry insiders to get their take on the future of food shopping. Here are their predictions on what to expect in the post-pandemic era.

According to a consumer behavior survey released by Florida-based marketing agency Acosta, shoppers are currently making 52% fewer trips than they were before the pandemic. And 47% said it's extremely or very likely they'll continue to make fewer trips post coronavirus.

Dawn Jackson Blatner, a registered dietician in based in Chicago, told TODAY Food that most people she knows used to shop for food items almost every other day. "And there would be extra trips to additional stores for specialty items that aren't in their usual store," she added. While she doesn't know if people will stick to the biweekly, one-store shops they're doing now, she agreed that it's unlikely people will be shopping as frequently as before.

The survey also found that nearly half of respondents think they'll continue to stock up more in the future. Now that people have adopted the habit of shopping for seven-plus days at a time, Jackson Blatner said the stockpiling trend is likely to continue, but doesn't think people will continue to hoard such vast quantities of essentials.

"Stocking up is a skill people will likely keep using to save time once regular pace of life takes over again," she said.

Trending stories,celebrity news and all the best of TODAY.

The days of spending hours browsing through the aisles may be over. If stores keep up two-cart social distancing rules, the days of impulse buys while waiting to checkout may also be a relic of the past. Instead, expect more lists.

"Right now, we're trying to go to the store as infrequently as possible, which requires forethought and creative menu planning," Trae Bodge, a lifestyle journalist who covers shopping trends, told TODAY. "I can see this kind of efficient shopping continuing once the worst of the pandemic has passed."

But even if menu planning remains a thing, recipes might not. "With fewer trips to the store there's more flexibility and creativity when people don't have all the ingredients a recipe calls for," said Jackson Blatner, who sees cooking "off script" becoming increasingly popular.

Jon Roesser, general manager at Weavers Way Co-op, a small chain of grocery stores in Pennsylvania, told TODAY he predicts customers will continue to want curbside pickup. For the foreseeable future, his stores will continue to offer the service.

Meanwhile, some major grocery chains are looking into offering online shopping only. Online grocery spend in the past month has already doubled, according to a new report by the fulfillment platform Fabric.

"After this is all over, I can see shoppers continuing to order online, especially those who, before COVID, struggled to squeeze shopping into their busy schedules or found shopping to be physically challenging," said Bodge. She credits the coronavirus with forcing older consumers to learn how to use technology to shop. "They'll have figured out the process and will greatly enjoy the benefits."

There was a large outcry when Costco first announced it had suspended in-store sampling back in March, but it's unlikely that many stores are going to bring that practice back anytime soon, experts say. Decreasing touch points and limiting areas where cross-contamination may occur will continue to be a priority for store management teams.

"It's incredibly hard to predict when we'll be able to open things back up for our customers," Roesser said. He also thinks it would be a shame if customers could no longer try before they buy since many of his vendors are from smaller farmers markets and rely on in-store samples to introduce customers to new products.

While not every store can be Costco and have gloved employees handing out samples, he hopes smaller stores will be able to find a different and regulated way to do it safely after the pandemic.

Year-on-year, fresh produce sales have continued to rise. Last month's increase was largely driven by demand for fruits, including oranges and lemons, that last longer. Potatoes have also become more popular. For weeks, they've been the top growth leader for fresh produce according to an industry report.

"Potatoes were demonized by diet trends, but during quarantine they're a life saver," said Jackson Blatner. She predicts that because they're so versatile, potatoes will have a special place in our diets and pantries going forward.

If you've noticed the freezer aisle shelves look emptier than usual, you're not imagining things. Fewer trips to the store means more food needs to be freezer friendly. Some stores are even limiting the amount of frozen vegetables customers can buy. While the practice of limiting might end, demand won't disappear. "People have been reminded of the convenience of frozen veggies so they'll likely stay around post-coronavirus," said Jackson Butler.

When farm-to-table and buy local movements surged in popularity in the early 2000s, frozen and canned goods got a bad rap. But they've made a huge comeback recently. Plus, most frozen produce is just as nutritious as its fresh counterpart.

Canned food is also poised to remain a shopping-cart staple. In fact, many canned goods don't have expiration dates so in theory, they can last for years.

Consumers have become all too familiar with hour-long waits at big-box retailers, so many smaller grocers have seen their businesses boom. Mike Geller, owner and manager of Mike's Organic, a grocery store in Stamford, Connecticut, told TODAY he's seeing an influx of new customers over the past month.

Initially, Geller said he received feedback that shoppers came in because they were "stymied" elsewhere. Now, however, they say they're coming back for the convenience and the diverse organic offerings.

8 easy ways to improve your kids Fitness – TechEngage

Posted: April 24, 2020 at 3:48 am

Physical activity is essential to keep our bodies healthy and fit. This applies to all human beings irrespective of age or gender. Being active is very important, especially at a young age. There was a time when kids used to love playing outdoor games so much that the parents thought of ways to get their kids back to the house on time. Because of all those physical activities, kids used to be fit, active, and healthy.

Well, nowadays, the scenario is different. In most houses, outdoor games are replaced by mobile, television, PS, Xbox, etc. Too much of these games have an ill effect on kids. It hampers their eyes as well as body postures. Besides this, sitting in front of these devices does not involve any kind of physical activity. The only muscle that is developed by playing these games is that of our fingers. This inactivity further results in stiffness and lack of flexibility in kids. Lack of vitamin D and B-12 has become very common in kids.

Similarly, another most common health problem seen in todays generation is obesity. Yes, its true. Most of the kids eat food while watching television. This hampers their digestion. Lack of physical activity is another reason for obesity in kids.

Sedentary and lack of physical activity in childhood hampers adulthood also. Individuals who lacked physical activity in their childhood tend to carry forward the same habits and have higher chances of depression, diabetes, and heart diseases.

So, if you are a parent who is worried about your kids physical fitness, then this article can be of great help. Getting your kid involved in any physical activity does not means he/she has to be a football or basketball champion. If you want your kid to be physically active, you have to put an extra effort to shift your kids interest from playing video or mobile games to going for a walk, playing an outdoor sport, cycling, etc.

Below we have discussed eight simple ways by which you can improve your childs physical fitness and overall development.

Kids tend to look at their parents and try to imbibe their habits. So, to bring a change in your kid, you first have to bring a change in yourself. If you want your kid to take part in some physical activity, then you have to start working on the same line. Be a good example for your kid. When your kid sees that you go for a walk or swim regularly, then the chances of them following your footsteps would be quite high. Try to involve your kids in your fitness program. For example, go cycling with them or swim with them. In your free time, take your kid to some park and play with them.

If you are overweight, then you might first want to lose some weight to become a fit, active, and healthy dad. Start with eating healthy and following a healthy lifestyle. Phentermine could also support you in your mission of losing those extra kilos. Phentermine prescription can easily be obtained online.

If you want your kid to be regular with the physical activity, then try to make it a part of your daily routine. For example, if your kid knows that evening 5-6 is park time, then by default, he/she will follow that routine. Try to fix some time of the day or week for a particular physical activity. You can fix the weekend mornings for some kind of physical activity like riding a bicycle, swimming, etc. Another way to make physical activity a part of your kids daily routine is by putting in some kind of sports coaching like tennis, football, skating, etc.

If you are a gym-freak, you can improve your childs fitness by involving them in gym activities. Weight training sessions are highly avoidable for kids as it might hamper their bone growth. Rest, let them enjoy the gym with you. If they want to run on the treadmill, let them do it. If they want to join you in power clean, wind sprints, etc. let them do it but do teach them the proper technique. Let them do whatever they want. However, tell them how to use the equipment safely. If your kids love doing a workout with you, you can look forward to having a garage gym. Remember, if your kid is too young, let the aim of the gym only be fun and play. After all, you can always train them when they reach the right age.

When we talk about physical activities for kids, it doesnt only mean playing baseball or basketball. You can motivate your kid to go for any kind of physical activity that goes with their age. Some of the most common physical activities are:

Involving your kid in some physical activity will not survive the purpose of keeping them fit and active if they keep on eating junk food. A healthy and nutritious diet is essential for growing kids. At a growing age, our body needs lots of vitamins, minerals, and proteins. Hence, you need to make sure your kid gets all the essential nutrients that are required by the body. Nowadays, kids are more interested in eating burgers, fries, chocolates, etc. You need to tell them about the importance of eating healthy food. Try to use junk food as a reward like a chocolate/ a doughnut if the kid finishes all the veggies. Try restricting junk food only once or twice a week.

Little kids love doing things that have a fun element attach to it. They dont need much of a push to jump like a kangaroo or a frog. Similarly, kids love playing in the rain or having a pillow fight. Also, you might not have to push your kid to dance to their favorite song. Hence, try to engage your kid in a physical activity that they enjoy. This way, they will have fun doing it that too, with a smile on their faces.

Kids love doing things on their terms. If you try to force something on them, they might show resistance. Hence, instead of forcing your kid to go out and play, try using exercise as a reward or break. Yes, your child might love to go out and play if you use it as a way to take a break from studies. Try it, it works.

The pressure of peer group or whats in and whats not having a significant influence on kids. Try to persuade your kid that doing exercise is the new in-thing. Your kid might want to do karate like Bruce-Lee, kick a football like Ronaldo, learn the latest dance move that is popular on YouTube.

As a parent, we play a significant rule in the development of our child. It is we who are responsible for their physical fitness. So, let us start avoiding giving them the remote so that they can watch T.V. and we can have our moment of peace. Instead, let try to keep them busy doing some kind of fun-filled physical activity.

An Insight into the Hong Kong CRS Framework – RecentlyHeard.com

Posted: April 24, 2020 at 3:48 am

In an interview with NBCs Today show Thursday, Dr. Anthony Fauci appeared to argue that Americans should be willing to follow existing locking and social distancing trends before the COVID-19 vaccine is safe.

In comparison, the good doctor characterized the ongoing deterioration of the American economy as clearly inconvenient. I know its tough, but were going to have a lot of suffering a lot of death. This is uncomfortable from an economic and a personal point of view, but we just have to do it, said Fauci to NBCs Savannah Guthrie.

The head of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases added that he claims that the Americans who remain at home are our biggest tool against this epidemic right now. We dont have a vaccine that can be delivered. This is difficult from an economic and a personal point of view, but we just have to do it. (National Stay-at-Home Order) is our biggest tool against this virus right now. We dont have a vaccine that can be delivered. This is the only thing weve got .- Dr. Anthony Fauci pic.twitter.com/EdUv1ucqLnTODAY (@TODAYshow) April 2, 2020 The problem with Faucis argument is that the vaccination seems to be at least a year away and with People questioning where their health may come from in the months ahead, that is much more than inconvenient. ABC News confirmed that the vaccination might not be effective until some time in 2022, for another vaccine.

Its an unnecessary amount of time to expect people to risk their jobs, their homes, their businesses and even their lives in some situations.

Do you think the White House will try to come up with a way to bring America back to work?

By what point is the new coronavirus cure of lock-up of whole populations going to affect the nation rather than the disease itself?

Are Americans going to be forced to hide from the sun forever like all theyve worked hard to get out of the window?

President Donald Trump said it was possible on March 23, when he assured reporters that there was a way to protect both life and the economy.

The solution can not be worse than the problem, he said, according to the White House transcript of his remarks.

We need to open up our society because it creates issues that, in my view, may be much more serious, Trump said.

Although the President has refused to heed the recommendations of the countrys leading health professionals as a natural leader, he is well aware of the implications of a continued economic shutdown.

At the end of March, more than 10 million people have now applied for unemployment insurance. Such figures are not supposed to fall, although some analysts forecast that the nation may lose tens of millions more jobs, Politico said.

While most Americans are trying their best to stay home and restrict their contacts with others if not totally removed from the outside world how long can this activity be practical?

Not to disprove Dr. Faucis experience on infectious diseases, but his proposed approach to the epidemic appears to be to plunge the United States into economic ruin on a par with the Great Depression.

In some way, it was encouraging to see Americans change their routines if not their whole lifestyle to pursue recommendations from health professionals on how to save as many lives as possible.

But the actual figures come in show the economic harm done by national shutdowns, and it goes way past inconvenient. At some stage, we have to wonder where the line is, and how many peoples lives will be lost until our solution ends up being worse than the epidemic.

Trump has been exasperated in the media for claiming that economic hardship would lead to high death rates from other problems, such as suicide.

People are going to have massive anxiety and stress, and youre going to get deaths over stuff like this because you have poor economies. Youve got death. Possibly and I say, definitely would be in a far bigger amount than the figures were talking about with respect to the virus, Trump said.

The Associated Press reality check quickly criticized the Presidents comments, saying, There is no indication that suicides would increase significantly if national social-distance rules have closed several businesses and are supposed to cause a spike in unemployment remains in place. But the AP is mistaken, according to several reports connecting unemployment levels to suicide.

The US suicide rate rose significantly in the first year of the Great Depression.

In addition, researchers at Oxford University found more than 10,000 personal suicides correlated with the Great Recession in the United States, Canada and Europe between 2008 and 2010, Forbes wrote.

Only the far-left Washington Post claimed in 2015 that suicide rates are rising and dropping with the economy. While the country is actually planning to commit economic suicide under intense social distancing rules, there are also mental health and drug abuse problems to address.

CNN estimated that 17 percent of unemployed Americans self-reported being addicted to illegal drugs and alcohol in 2015.

Like so many other Americans, Ive been working to be a decent person. A week before my state closed schools, I kept my children home. I stay home with them, and Ive grown very acquainted with the squirrels that live outside my house.

My only question: for how long is this sustainable? What about the people who count on their jobs and go to work to make the ends meet?

Like other Americans, the coronavirus potential fills me with confusion. It hurts my heart to see more of our beloved people succumb every day to this alien virus. But Americans are not, nor have we ever been, citizens motivated by terror.

A man in Los Angeles was arrested this week for paddleboarding on his own according to the Los Angeles Times.

A pastor in Florida was arrested on Monday for keeping church services after going the extra mile to keep his congregation safe.

Its the United States of America. We have always been able to compromise, if necessary. Yet, our patience with scientific professionals and their ever-changing data structures can not be forever.

We have to consider if we are ready to become a citizens who cause our civil liberties to be violated forever.

The solution to our dilemma should not have to be linear, however difficult it might be for Dr. Fauci.

We should give our politicians in Washington the benefit of the doubt by pursuing these prolonged lock-down steps into April, but at some stage we need to find the middle ground, and wed better find it soon.

At some point, our economies will come back to boom before we all risk being the victims of another major crisis.

Lemon water benefits: Weight loss, nutrients and more – TODAY

Posted: April 24, 2020 at 3:45 am

A lot of celebrities claim to start their day with lemon water and tout its benefits as if it is a magic elixir, but are there actually benefits to drinking lemon water?

As a nutritionist, I always stress that drinking water is something we all know we need to do for our health.

While drinking lemon water is something many of us have heard we should do if we want to do even more for our health. Most people, however, arent really sure why. Why lemon water? Is it actually healthier than plain old water?

Trending stories,celebrity news and all the best of TODAY.

Here's the simple truth: Lemon water does have its health benefits, but they may not be what youd expect.

Lemon water (or can we just say water with lemon?) first and foremost, helps people drink more water. It adds a little flavor to water which can help people to actually drink up more by making plain old water appealing.

Drinking adequate water and staying hydrated in general has many benefits including maintaining energy, aiding in glowing skin and helping with weight management. Remember, your body is about 60% water. Yes, this means your skin, muscles and brain are mostly water, making proper hydration key to a healthy body.

Lemon acts as an antioxidant in the body and helps protect cells from damage caused by free radicals. Lemon peels which contain citrus flavonoids play a role in the treatment of insulin resistance, and can help prevent clogged arteries. Lemons are also high in vitamin C and research shows that eating fruits and vegetables rich in vitamin C reduces your risk of heart disease and stroke.

This high concentration of vitamin C also helps absorb iron. Non-heme iron found in plants is better absorbed with vitamin C. So, especially for non-meat eaters, consuming adequate vitamin C is important to maintain iron levels and prevent anemia.

It has been found that supplementation with lemon polyphenols and pectins suppressed weight gain and body fat accumulation through increased fat metabolism, while also increasing HDL cholesterol (the "good" cholesterol), decreasing LDL cholesterol (the "bad" cholesterol) and decreasing inflammation. This is by no means a magic bullet for weight loss, but filling up on water is a healthy habit to adopt.

Lemon certainly can put a feather in its cap when you add up all of the lemon, lemon peel and lemon juice benefits, but more isnt always better. I recommend reaching that recommended 64 ounces of water a day (some people may need more or less, depending upon lifestyle and environment) for most people. But not all of that needs to be lemon water. Overdoing lemon water can lead to teeth enamel erosion and may increase acid reflux symptoms.
