Health stories for this week about whole milk, Gen Z, Freebirthing, neurological condition a.o.

 

Three stories you should read today The full-fat milk renaissance fuelled by Gen Z – and science Whole milk has become cool again – and it’s not just the Gold-Top generation who are lapping it up No doctor, no midwife – why more women are giving birth alone ‘Freebirthing’ – bringing a child into the world without any medical support – is on the rise. One mother explains why she chose to do it This is what it feels like to have ADHD (brace yourself) Finding out I had the neurological condition helped to explain so much of my behaviour and enabled me to live happily How to set (and stick to) realistic exercise goals Telegraph fitness guru and celebrity personal trainer Matt Roberts explains how to stay pumped for action – even when life gets in the way If your goal is significant, it’s reasonable to set a one-year timeline. Whether you aim to lose fat or gain muscle, the process requires time. For instance, gaining 4-5kg of muscle won’t happen in a month. And burning one pound of fat needs about six hours of hard running. Trying to shed a stone of fat in six weeks requires a 1,000-calorie deficit per day – achievable but challenging. But don’t despair. Instead, have a plan. Here’s how to make one. To help you out today The physio’s guide to injury recovery when you’re over 65 Falls are the most common cause of injury-related deaths in people over the age of 75. No wonder then that a survey commissioned by Age UK recently found that millions of older people are worried about falling over, with 4.3 million (36 per cent) saying it topped their list of concerns. “The physio community buzz-phrase du jour is ‘progressive loading’. Essentially the body adapts to the loads placed on it, so if you do that slowly and progressively your body will adapt to bear more load, that doesn’t matter if its muscle, bone, or cartilage. Resistance strength training can be used to reverse muscle loss or at least maintain muscle, and maintain or improve bone density, if it comes with a healthy diet with enough protein and calcium. You can’t go wrong getting strong.” The ultimate guide to what children should eat at every stage of development From toddlers to teenagers, their eating habits will change drastically – here’s how parents can keep ahead of the ever-evolving food curve + According to a recent report published in Nature magazine, undernutrition remains one of the most pressing global health challenges, contributing to nearly half of deaths in children under five, and with consequences that impact all areas of development: growth, neurodevelopment and metabolic development. Neither are children immune to the “dual burden” of malnutrition – like undernutrition and obesity, which can manifest throughout a lifespan and increase the risk of adult diseases such as obesity, cardiovascular disease and diabetes. According to the most recent figures from the UK’s National Child Measurement Programme, 9.2 per cent of reception-age children in Britain are obese, with a further 12.2 per cent overweight, and by age 10-11, 22.7 per cent of children were obese, and 13.9 per cent overweight. Workouts you can do from home if you’ve already given up on the gym “If you’re already swerving the gym, you can still build strength, flexibility and balance with exercises at home.” Dear Rachel: ‘How do I make clear that any partner would need to be pretty damn adventurous in bed?’

New Week Inspiration 💕🌞 . . . May your spirit get stronger…

Straight roads can’t make you a good driver

Growing up we have to face different roads and more than once, need to make difficult choices which direction to take. That’s not always easy and sometimes we come to know much too late we took the wrong road.

Our path of life may be very bumpy and with a lot of difficult and even dangerous corners. Handling our own driving wheel we must learn from our experiences, but may never forget we can learn also from the experiences of others. Therefore, it is always also very important to have ear and eyes open for what others felt and did and to look back at historical facts.

Let us not only learn from own experiences but let us also from everything we can hear and see around us.

*

To remember

• Life =/=  so easy >Every day facing new challenges + hardships => rarely a smooth + problem-free life.
• always hurdles and difficulties in life +> making us stronger.
• Life = challenge every passing day teaches us a new lesson.
• Bumps in life, the problems, and challenges of life make us stronger to face every kind of situations.
• Without these little hurdles, life would be meaningless for us.
• Need to get out of your comfort zone + select a good milestone for your life.
• Success requires to conquer many fields of difficulties.
• For every problem in life, there is a solution
• Difficulties in life make us learn that how much we are capable of facing those hard times in life.
• After facing all challenges > feel proud of ourselves
• Thoughts + fear in our mind > to tackle
• Every day a new challenge to learn something new => will learn to live a life in a meaningful way.
• Accept the challenges of life.
• Always a positive + negative aspect of everything.
• Negative parts of our lives teach us so many things that make us more sensible.
• Hardships make us more mature to deal with the problems.
