Sam told Billboard in 2017: "After the Oscars, I started going out too much, not respecting myself, drinking loads and smoking.

I wasn't looking after myself; I was going into a bit of a spiral. I'd lost contact with friends, with family. It wasn't good."

Sam has been facing criticism after being unfairly compared to Captain Tom, 99, who raised 18m for the NHS.

Trolls blasted the singer for opening up and his emotional difficulties in lockdown.

Most ignorant trolls also took the opportunity to misgender the singer, who uses the pronouns they and them.

One such unkind person said: "Sam Smith posted himself crying on social media for no ones gain but his own. Captain Tom has achieved the near impossible for nothing but to help the NHS. Captain Tom is still doing more for this country than someone who has the following to make a difference. Thats the point."

Another said: "In a world full of Sam Smith's, be Captain Tom."

But fans have urged thoughtless trolls to be kind.

One said: "Captain Tom is amazing, showing so much compassion for the NHS.. Maybe show a little for Sam Smith who clearly isnt coping too well like many of us. #BeKind"

Another said: "Whatever happened to #BeKind that everyone was preaching about last month?!?! Bunch of hypocritesFace with rolling eyes also Captain Tom Moore, you're doing brilliant sweetie. How about cheer him on instead of being a d*** and picking on others!!"

A few years ago I often woke up with a hangover and, despite being in my 30s, I felt beyond 50, he told Mens Health.I decided if Im going to be a rock star then I need the energy to do it properly.

His food choices arent what youd expect of a touring band member, either - in the Guardians Life on a Plate interview in 2015 he revealed he used to have the same lunch and dinner every day when coaching on ITV singing contest The Voice.

The singer always had a chicken avocado salad with no dressing for both meals, commenting that the other judges seemed to eat a lot of sushi.

He quipped that hes not quite so adventurous with what he eats. Im from the north of England, pal, he joked.

Its been over a month since actors stopped venturing out for shoots and professional commitments. Staying indoors, most of them have been working out religiously, albeit with a slightly different workout plan to suit the current status of their professional life. In a recent chat with BT, Sanjay Dutt opened up about his life in lockdown and how worried he is for his wife Maanyata and kids, Shahraan and Iqra, who are in Dubai since the lockdown set in. The actor also spoke about his workout routine and his diet plan, which he has always been particular about.Sanjay told us, Diets and workout plans work best if you can integrate them in your life as a lifestyle change. On shoots and travel, I tweak them as per time and availability, but on the whole, I dont think of them as separate from my daily routine. They are my routine. So nothing has changed, except that I have the luxury of time right now.On the work front, Sanjay was shooting for KGF 2 when the lockdown set in. He was also working on Prithiviraj Chauhan, Sadak 2, Bhuj: The Pride of India among other films. He was last seen as Ahmad Shah Abdali in Ashutosh Gowarikers Panipat.

Eating a diverse and varied diet provides the best chance of boosting the immune system to fight Covid-19, according to a scientist.

Philip Calder, a professor of nutritional immunology at the University of Southampton, has produced a report advising the public to ensure they eat a mixed diet to help combat the virus.

His research also shows that supplements are a safe, effective and low cost way to support an optimal immune system.

A university spokesman said: A diet with a diverse and varied mixture of vegetables, fruits, nuts, seeds and pulses, along with some meat, fish and dairy products provides the vitamins, minerals and other nutrients the immune system needs for optimal function.

Prof Calder said: The strength of somebodys immune systems will not influence whether they get coronavirus; handwashing and social distancing are the best ways to avoid that.

However, the immune system helps the body deal with the virus if they are infected and what we want is a system that functions properly when its challenged with bacteria and viruses.

The university spokesman added: Among the foods Professor Calder recommends are a variety of fruits and vegetables which are a good source of vitamins and minerals that are important for supporting the immune system.

Foods that are high in fibre are also important as some of the undigested fibre in the gut can promote the growth of good bacteria which interact with the immune system to make it work better.

The third recommendation is oily fish which is a source of omega 3 fatty acids that help to regulate and control the immune system.

Finally, meat is important as a good source of nutrients such as iron and vitamin B12, so people who do not eat meat should consider supplements.

Whilst consuming commercial probiotic products can have a role to play by seeding good bacteria in the gut Professor Calder recommends plant-based food and fibre as an alternative as these provide an environment to grow the good bacteria that are already in the large intestine.

Professor Calder added: The present situation with Covid-19 shows that we cannot just rely on vaccinations to limit the impact of respiratory infections.

Improving our nutrition is a very straightforward step that we can all take to help our bodies deal with infections and limit the emergence of new, more virulent strains of viruses.

We therefore strongly encourage public health officials to make sure nutritional strategies are included in all their messaging about coping with viral infections.

New Delhi: The coronavirus outbreak has affected all spheres of our lives. Our routines, perceptions, and actions seem to have changed, and staying indoors and social distancing has become the new normal. While some of us are doing okay in the lockdown, a lot of us are getting anxious and can see our mental health suffering.

Food plays a major role in how we feel, apart from being the main source of nutrition, and playing an extremely important role in our physical health. Comfort foods, perhaps, are needed and are being consumed more than ever, but it is also important to ensure that they are healthy, and do not lead to long-term health issues. Here are 3 healthy comfort foods that will help you beat the lockdown blues and feel better.

Include these 3 healthy comfort foods in your diet to beat the lockdown blues - Times Now

Kamden Glade is a 25-year-old graduate student at Bemidji State University who is in charge of gathering most of the diet data. The Minnesota DNR and Bemidji State University have a contract to complete the project, with Brian Herwig of the Bemidji DNR office and Jeff Reed of the Glenwood office leading the overall research.

The work is scheduled to look at 11 bodies of water in Minnesota. Seven of those lakes hold muskies, but northern pike, largemouth bass and walleyes are also a part of the study that is designed to do a wide-ranging diet overview of some of the states most popular predatory fish and see how the species are co-existing in Minnesota waters.

Were taking diets from muskies, northern pike, walleye and largemouth bass in all the lakes so that were able to compare diets between lakes and between seasons, Glade said. Then we have (four) reference lakes too to see if theres any kind of significant difference in walleye, pike and largemouth bass diets in lakes that do or dont have muskies in them.

Miltona, Little Boy (Longville), Bald Eagle (East Metro), Ten Mile (Hackensack) and South Center (Chisago) Lakes were sampled in 2019 during the spring, summer and fall seasons. Other muskie lakes that are scheduled to be sampled for the study include Bemidji and Shamineau (Little Falls) in 2020 and North Star (Grand Rapids) and Pelican (Fergus Falls) in 2021. Lakes without muskies in the study are Ten Mile, South Center, Grace and Deer (Bemidji).

The COVID-19 pandemic is likely to stop spring sampling in 2020, but Glade said they are hopeful that sampling not done this year could be rescheduled to 2021. The work is scheduled to be completed in the fall of 2021 with final publication of the results following that.

Glade has not analyzed all the numbers from every lake that was sampled in 2019 due to the study being ongoing, but he has taken a hard look at the data from Lake Miltona.

Most of the muskies that are sampled are captured through electrofishing at night. Researchers also looked at the diets of fish on Miltona by going along with crews from the Glenwood Area Fisheries department during netting surveys in 2019.

Diet samples are taken from muskies by placing a small piece of clear tubing through the fishs mouth and into the back of its stomach. Water is then slowly pumped in before pressure builds enough to cause the fish to regurgitate any stomach contents. Some fish sampled had nothing in their stomachs due to not feeding recently.

Overall, we had a 67% full stomach rate on muskies throughout all seasons, which is actually quite a bit better than most of the other studies that Ive seen, Glade said.

From Miltona, 29 muskies were sampled with full stomachs in the spring, compared to two in the summer and 15 in the fall. The contents ranged from easily identifiable species that had just been eaten, down to matter that was nothing more than bones or a small piece of tissue.

Some of those you can identify the species based on the bone structure, Glade said. Beyond that, were working with Dr. Loren Miller from the University of Minnesota and the Minnesota DNR. Hes a geneticist. Hes able to take a little chunk of flesh from a diet and he can do genetic barcoding on that chunk of flesh and tell us what species it was.

The preliminary numbers on Lake Miltona showed that yellow perch made up the largest percentage of the muskies diet by numbers.

Largemouth bass were a fairly important diet item for them as well, Glade said. They had a decent amount of bullheads there, and also some crappie and bluegill. Then white suckers were also important for them.

Yellow perch came out to about 65% of the total diet items by number for Miltona muskies, but that is not the only thing researchers look at when assessing diet studies.

Percentage by mass, the total mass of one prey species divided by the total mass of all prey species present, is also an important factor. Yellow perch made up about 8% of the muskies diet by mass on Lake Miltona.

Thats because muskies will commonly feed on larger prey. One muskrat, one ring-billed gull, 11 northern leopard frogs and two northern pike were found in muskies on Miltona. A couple of bowfin, commonly known as dogfish, were also found.

Theyre not eating extremely frequently, but when they do eat theyre eating some fairly large diet items, Glade said. We had a couple muskies from Miltona that had white suckers in their stomach that were at or over 20 inches in length.

A total of three walleyes were found in muskies on Lake Miltona. That made up less than 1.5% of the muskies diet by number and less than 2% by mass.

Its definitely not like they were targeting walleyes, Glade said. We expected to see some. I was kind of surprised we didnt see more, just based on how often we saw muskies and walleyes in the same areas when we were sampling.

Researchers for the study are using an overlap metric to analyze how the predator species are competing for limited resources within a lake. That overlap metric is accumulated by looking at each species diet as it relates to percentage by number and by mass.

It gives a number between zero and one. For muskies and walleye, that was about 0.23, so definitely low, Glade said. Anything below 0.4 is considered low overlap. So its definitely looking like at least on Miltona they are not competing for the same resources too much.

Yellow perch are an important prey species for all the game fish, but the low percentage by mass that perch accounted for in the muskies diet made for that low overlap with walleyes.

Northerns surveyed on Miltona had a diet of yellow perch that consisted of almost 70% by number and 40% by mass. Largemouth bass also had nearly 40% by mass of yellow perch, and walleyes relied on perch for their diet at 40% by number and about 60% by mass.

Walleyes, northern and bass exist in the lake at much higher densities. Miltona is managed as a trophy lake for muskies, and fingerlings are stocked at low numbers in order to create better opportunities for fish measuring 50-plus inches.

I havent really analyzed the numbers from a lot of the other lakes, but just from looking at Miltona, there was a lot higher chance of overlap between the other three species than muskies had on any of the other three species, Glade said. For instance, walleye had a relatively high overlap with both pike and largemouth bass. That was a little interesting to see, but not entirely unexpected. The muskies had relatively low overlap with all three of the other species.

Sampling is completed on Lake Miltona, with more lakes left to look at across Minnesota over the next two years. The end result should be some modern research that can help guide management decisions on Minnesota waters.

If there is a significant shift in diets when were stocking muskies, maybe that is something we need to look at a little closer, Glade said. If theres not, that also gives managers important information theyre able to continue stocking or increase stocking and have scientific data to back that up instead of anecdotal observations.

Boutari Naoussa 2016

Macedonia, Greece, $23

Greece is one of the oldest wine-producing regions in the world, with an impressive lineup of more than 300 native grapes. The Boutari Company, known for exporting the first bottled red wine from Greece, has been synonymous with the ancient xinomavro grape since the companys founding in 1879. Boutari championed this nearly abandoned native red grape variety, crafting wines of such quality and complexity as to bring international recognition to the Naoussa appellation in Macedonia. Xinomavro is now regarded as the countrys finest red wine grape.

Boutari Naoussa, crafted from 100 percent xinomavro, appears garnet red in the glass, fading to warm orange highlights on the meniscus. The nose presents the unmistakable aroma of sun-dried tomatoes, with background notes of olive brine and just a touch of toast from oak aging. The first sip unleashes an invigorating mouth-puckering acidity. Intense red fruits like cherries and raspberries reveal themselves on the palate, accompanied by nuanced notes of vanilla. Firm tannins, present throughout, carry through to a long and chewy finish. Structured and complex yet easy drinking, this wine is a wolf in sheeps clothing. Naoussa craves culinary companionship. Enjoy alongside classic moussaka, chicken gyros with tzatziki sauce, and slow-cooked leg of lamb.

For $23, you can experience the entire Mediterranean diet in one wine glass.

Recanati Wild Carignan Reserve 2014

Judean Hills, Israel, $53

Gone are the days of being limited to cloyingly sweet kosher wine for the seder. With approximately 300 wineries in its magnificent Mediterranean climate, Israel is producing a variety of wines poised for competing on the global market, from sweet to delightfully dry, for drinking any day of the year. Great strides continue to be made in Israel with Bordeaux grape varieties, and now certain areas are turning their attention to Mediterranean varieties, as well. Established just 20 years ago, Recanati Winery produces local wines reflective of their terroir. Their Mediterranean Series focuses on matching grape varieties from the South of France to the similar Israeli climate.

A testament to its terroir, Recanati Wild Carignan Reserve is produced from the southern French native grape carignan, dry-farmed on the slopes of the Judean Hills. The wines dark sumac hue hints at the depth of its richness. A profusion of aromas erupts from the glass, including wild black raspberries, pink peppercorns, and distinct herbaceous notes reminiscent of zaatar, the Middle Eastern spice blend with thyme and marjoram. The wine is big and rich on the palate, with bright acid and tooth-coating tannins. The mid-palate showcases a medley of flavors, including mocha, stewed plums, black raspberries, and fennel, while the finish of this lightly filtered wine is earthy and meaty. Pair with chargrilled beef, meatballs with sweet potatoes, and minced lamb croquettes.

At $53 a bottle, enjoy this wine throughout the sabbath, and beyond.

Cusumano Sgana 2012

Sicily, Italy, $49

With its hot temperatures and abundance of sunshine, the island of Sicily historically has produced one of the largest volumes of wine of any region in Italy. A more recent shift in focus away from quantity by many winegrowers has resulted in an increased production of excellent wines which, with the 2012 harvest, have officially gained recognition for their quality. For many years, the Cusumano family concentrated on growing large volumes of wine grapes for sale. After taking over management from their father in 2001, brothers Diego and Alberto transitioned the company to winemaking and now produce modern and engaging estate-grown wines.

A former blending grape, nero davola is now being used to produce some of Sicilys most notable single-varietal wines. Cusumano Sgana is crafted from 100 percent of this dark-skinned native grape. An eight-year stretch in the bottle has gracefully aged this 2012 vintage to mellow cherry red. The bouquet is an inviting assemblage of berries, herbs and earth, redolent of a forest floor after a rain. The wine coats the mouth in a blanket of velvety tannins while treating the palate to concentrated flavors of black cherry and fig jam, lifted by a crisp acidity. Well-integrated wood is present throughout, a perfect backdrop to the eye-opening finish that is all espresso. This refined expression of nero davola deserves to be slowly sipped with a plate of pasta alla Norma or homemade pizza con fichi e prosciutto.

For $49, you can make your Mediterranean meal a truly memorable one.

2. Obsessing over calories

The days of calorie counting are over. There are other factors you should keep in mind, like feeling full after eating a combination of proteins and fats; the glycemic index; the capacity of the nutrients to cause inflammation inside the body, psycho-nutritionist Itziar Dign told Vogue.

Its true that eating an excess of carbohydrates will probably make you gain a few extra pounds, but you cant make the mistake of eliminating them all together or associating carbs with high calories. A healthy diet should allow you to strike a balance between all different food groups and be able to enjoy a treat from time to time.

Weighing yourself every day (and sometimes more than once) is a sign that you want immediate results and are feeling impatient. Lets face it: Your motivation cant be based on the number of pounds or else your mood will start to sour very quickly. The scale should be a tool to track medium and long-term progress.

Going on a diet without adding exercise is one of the most common mistakes. This error is based on the idea that a person can lose weight quickly just by cutting out certain foods or drastically reducing daily caloric intake. In the long term this is simply not true; reducing calories affects muscle mass more, which is harder to get back once its lost. Physical activity helps you get your body in shape and keep it that way.

While drinking water makes you feel full and this can help you to lose weight, it is a myth that water alone will make you skinnier. As nutritionist Roco Maraver told Vogue, Yes, there are studies that show that drinking two glasses of water with your lunch and two with your dinner helps you lose weight, but some people dont have the habit of drinking this vital liquid throughout the day. When they remember to, they try to do it all at once and it causes an emptying effect in the stomach which ends up being counterproductive.

When trying to lose weight, a lot of things can happen along the way, both external and internal, to affect your motivation. This can lead you to feel an even larger sense of disappointment if you dont achieve your goal. The best way to set goals is to create an action plan with several sub-goals. Achieving these sub-goals will help motivate you to keep succeeding. It will also allow you to be more flexible with any changes you make to the strategy.

If you live with family or other people and youre the only one eating healthy or changing your habits around the house, youre bound to have a hard time sharing the table, going grocery shopping and cooking. We need the support of the people we live with, as well as the understanding we get from our social circle. Some people even find they start to isolate themselves and stop spending time with their friends because they find it too tempting to go to a restaurant or a party, completely forgetting that there are other things you can do that dont involve big meals, or that you can always choose a healthy option while out.

Its common to see people who start a diet start shopping for the food that are labeled light. In fact, according to a study by the National Obesity Forum and the Public Health Collaboration (United Kingdom), eating these low-calorie foods can lead to a food intake with the same amount (or more) of sugar and fat than we get from whole foods because people tend to eat them in larger quantities.

Remember, if youre already on a diet, keep up your positive attitude, seek the assistance of a nutritionist and be disciplined with your eating and exercise habits. But most of all, be patient with yourself. Slowly but surely youll reach your goal.

10 diet mistakes that may be preventing you from losing weight - HOLA! USA

After we eat, the body converts carbohydrates into blood sugar (known as glucose), which it uses for energy. But the ketogenic diet is based on research from the 1920s that found lowering the availability of carbohydrates made the body rely more on using other substances (such as fat) for energy. By metabolising fat to produce glucose or energy, the body generates ketones in the process hence the term ketogenic. Any diet containing less than 20g per day of carbohydrate is deemed to be ketogenic.

The production of ketones by the liver indicates that fat, instead of sugar, is being metabolised and that this fat is close to our entire source of energy. This is thought to correlate to weight loss but really correlates with an altered blood insulin profile. Whether this enhances weight loss compared to other diets is debatable, since withdrawal of carbohydrates results in losses in body water, exaggerating the appearance of weight loss.

But many people report experiencing something called the keto flu after changing their diet. People report symptoms such as nausea, constipation, headaches, fatigue and sugar cravings, similar to influenza apart from the sugar cravings.

These side effects are related to the key concept of the ketogenic diet: carbohydrate withdrawal. Glucose (which is produced from foods containing carbohydrates, such as potatoes or bread) is the primary energy source of the central nervous system, including the brain. A reduced supply of carbohydrates will result in reduced function, leading to headaches. Nausea can be explained through consuming high volumes of fat. This is because fat takes a long time to digest and absorb.

When eating a conventional diet that includes carbohydrates, glucose increases in the blood. This stimulates a rise in the hormone insulin, which regulates blood sugar levels and allows your body to use the glucose for energy. It lowers the presence of fat in the blood, and helps glucose enter the bodys cells. Insulin also suppresses the release of fat particles from fat stores in the body by the same mechanism. The hope is that by eating low (or no) carbs, this mechanism will be reversed, helping to increase the appearance of fat in the blood and its availability to other cells to use for energy and result in fat loss.

A high level of insulin release occurs if a person consumes a large volume of carbohydrates in a single sitting. Therefore, the ketogenic diet aims to reduce the insulin response through excessive carbohydrate restriction. But reducing insulin causes an increase in circulating fats that displace an amino acid, called tryptophan, from its carrier. This circulating tryptophan causes an increase in serotonin in the brain and the increase in serotonin results in fatigue, even when you arent exerting yourself much.

Having fewer carbohydrates to use is also a stressor to the body, since theyre the bodys preferred energy source. The lack of carbohydrates stimulates the release of cortisol a stress hormone. The amount of cortisol the body releases depends on the size of the stressor. Cortisol releases fats and proteins from tissues in the body, which is the aim of the ketogenic diet. These nutrients are then metabolised by the liver to produce carbohydrates. However, cortisol secretion can become fatigued as a result of this stressed environment. Since cortisol helps increase immune function, the body may be more prone to infections, such as the common cold.

Carbohydrate-rich foods often contain vitamins, minerals and fibre. We require 30g of fibre per day and, if we dont consume enough, our digestive health suffers, leading to constipation. The lack of fibre-rich foods in the ketogenic diet such as baked potatoes and apples may result in constipation, another reported symptom of the keto flu.

Removing such foods from the diet also limits vitamins and minerals, which play a role in all aspects of cellular function particularly immune function. Sugary fruits that are high in vitamin C (such as oranges) are avoided in the ketogenic diet. Low levels of vitamin C might also cause increased risk of infections, such as the common cold.

Ketogenic diets are sometimes clinically recommended for managing some medical conditions, such as epilepsy. Its thought that maintaining a constant low blood glucose level and the production of ketones will maintain the central nervous system through numerous molecular mechanisms, reducing seizures.

But for most people the side effects of such diets arent worth the potential benefits. Such diets are often unsustainable if religiously adhering to low or no carbohydrate intake because of the short and long-term sugar cravings.

Though the keto diet might work for some, a balanced diet including white meat, fish, fruits and vegetables and avoiding pre-made or processed foods is still an effective way to manage or lose weight. Getting enough exercise can also help manage weight, while improving aerobic and muscular fitness. This will lead to improved cardiovascular health and decrease the risk of developing type 2 diabetes.
