The muscles, bones, joints, ligaments and soft tissues are the major parts that make up the body’s musculoskeletal system. As we are growing older day by day, all the parts that make up our musculoskeletal system are going to start deteriorating, the muscle mass will experience sarcopenia. Sarcopenia is the loss of muscular mass, which is replaced with stiff, fibrous tissue, bones will start losing its calcium, and the fluid which serves as a lubricant to the joint will start diminishing too. This is the reason why we see so many old peoples that can’t walk or perform some movements…

I’m always suspicious of chocolate “desserts” made with sneaky healthy ingredients like avocado or sweet potato. I can taste them, so they don’t taste like a real dessert. This chia pudding, however, is a wholesome treat that I truly enjoy. It actually boasts some impressive nutrition stats, including 8 grams of fiber, 5 grams of protein, and some healthy plant-based fat. It’s easy to make, too—much easier than traditional custard-based puddings. You’ll need only four ingredients…

The lab results came back. One number is flagged in red. GGT. Your doctor mentions it at the end of the appointment, maybe orders a follow-up.

If you want to understand the biology first, what GGT is, and what the different levels mean, read our GGT explanation article before continuing. That one covers the background. This one is about action. What do you eat? What do you stop? How long before the…

But did you know that some of the most important muscles for optimal aging are the ones people rarely see? The muscles of the back, hips, and backside that help you stand tall, stay balanced, and move confidently through everyday life. These muscles work together every time you get out of a chair, climb stairs, carry groceries, lift luggage, or go for a walk. They also help support good posture and reduce strain on the spine and joints – all the…

I eat a lot of salads this time of year. Actually, I eat salads for most of the seasons! This Italian chopped salad skips the lettuce and adds Italian grinder flavors to chicken instead.

They’re known for their salty, tangy flavor with satisfying fats and lots of crunch from veggies. And while I do eat some grains now, anytime I can load up on veggies or protein instead…

You probably know at least one person like this. They count every calorie. They open their app, record it on their phone, break out the scale, and weigh every morsel. They track everything very well. Yet, they still cannot lose weight. Maybe that someone is you.  If so, you’re not doing it wrong. You’re just working with an incomplete model. I mean, calorie counting does have logic to it. You eat less than you burn, and you lose weight. That is true as far as it goes. But it leaves out something critical. The quality of the food that you…

They’re crunchy, satisfying and perfect for lunchboxes, afternoon snacks or busy after-school moments when everyone suddenly…
