Adjusting your diet for weight loss is not a new concept, but its often framed as cutting certain ingredients out rather than adding beneficial ingredients in.

Matcha has plenty of health benefits, particularly for those looking to lose weight.According to Healthline, "Some studies show that green tea extract helps increase metabolism and fat burning, both of which may aid weight loss."

Matcha also contains caffeine, which not only makes it a perfect breakfast drink, but can also increase your resting metabolic rate to make weight loss more attainable.

Turmeric is a great ingredient if you're looking for some anti-inflammatory benefits.

BonnieBalk, registered dietitian and health & wellness expert for Maple Holistics, explains, "Beyond turmeric's popular appearance in curries, turmeric can make its debut in your tea mug.

Swimming is a low-impact cardio activity that may ease joint pain. Zena Holloway/Getty Images

Some of the best types of cardio exercise are running, cycling, swimming, walking, jumping rope, and HIIT.

Walking is the easiest cardio activity to incorporate into your life and may help boost your immune system.

For higher-intensity exercise, try activities like running or cycling to help with weight loss and reduce stress.

Visit Insider's Health Reference library for more advice.

Cardio exercises include any form of activity that causes your heart rate to increase and your breathing to quicken. They also condition your heart and lungs to work better.

Common forms of cardio include running, cycling, swimming, and walking. Each type has a ton of benefits that include weight loss, improved health, and stress reduction.

Here are some of the best types of cardio and the health benefits for each of them.

Running is one of the most popular forms of cardio exercises. Some people might opt to jog instead of run. Both activities are similar, the main difference between the two is that running is done at a faster rate.

People start running for different reasons, including weight loss, fitness maintenance, or just for fun. If you are new to running starting out with a jog or a brisk walk will prevent you from overexerting yourself too quickly.

Important: Be sure to stretch out your muscles before you run and cool down with light stretches afterward to prevent straining your muscles.

A large 2014 study found that running for even 5 or 10 minutes a day at slow speeds reduces the risks of death and cardiovascular diseases.

Running regularly has the following health benefits:

Strengthens your muscles, specifically your calves and glutes

Helps you to maintain a healthy weight

Lowers your blood pressure and cholesterol levels

When you think about cycling, you may flashback to cycling for leisure as a child. However, it's a great form of exercise that can get your heart pumping and build muscle without putting too much stress on your joints.

Story continues

"Cycling is a great low-impact way to get an aerobic workout," says Alexis Colvin, MD, an Orthopedic Sports Medicine Surgeon at Mount Sinai. "Cycling also helps to build leg muscles such as gluteal, hamstring, and calf muscles."

If you are thinking about taking up cycling, getting a bicycle for shorter commutes might be a good idea. For instance, if you work not too far from home, you can cycle to work instead of driving or taking the bus.

General advice: If you don't own a bicycle you could also sign up for spin classes at your local gym or health club - as stationary cycling still has many of the same health benefits.

Cycling is a low impact exercise, which makes it ideal for people of all ages. Some benefits of cycling you might enjoy include:

Swimming is another low-impact cardio exercise, which means that you can do it regularly without feeling too much strain. In fact, research shows that people find it easier to exercise for longer in the water than on land, without increased effort.

"Swimming is a great way to get a low-impact, complete body workout. You are working your upper body, core, and lower body," says Colvin.

It's a great idea to warm up with a bit of paddling before engaging in longer, more intense strokes when you swim. If you have a neck or shoulder injury, you should take care when swimming laps, to avoid worsening your injury.

Important: If you don't know how to swim, you might need a professional instructor to teach you at a local gym or recreation center. And if you are swimming outdoors, don't forget to apply some sunscreen.

Swimming has many health benefits, especially because it works out your whole body. Some benefits of swimming you might enjoy include:

Walking is the easiest cardio activity to start and incorporate into your daily life. You can walk to work, your favorite coffee shop, or just around your block during lunchtime instead of sitting at your desk. Walking doesn't require any special skill, only perhaps a pair of comfortable shoes.

Research has found that walking reduces the risk of cardiovascular diseases from occurring by 31% and cuts down the risk of death by 32%. These benefits are equally apparent in both men and women.

Some benefits you might experience if you walk regularly include:

Helps to boost your immune system

Can help to ease joint pain

Reduces body fat

Increases muscle strength

Reduces the risk of developing heart disease

Though jumping rope might be a popular kid's game, it's also a great exercise option for people who are trying to keep fit, maintain their weight, or lose weight.

Jumping rope doesn't require any special skills - only a jump rope, ample space, and comfortable shoes. If you want to make it a little more challenging you can opt for weighted jump ropes.

Some health benefits of jumping rope include:

HIIT is an acronym for high-intensity interval training. It is also known as sprint interval training (SIT) or high-intensity intermittent exercise (HIIE). HIIT exercises are made up of a series of short or long intense exercises, followed by a low-intensity exercise or rest.

Some common HIIT exercises you can do include star jumps, squat jumps, reverse crunches, and burpees. The time frame for intense exercises usually ranges from less than 45 seconds to 2 or 4 minutes.

HIIT exercises can provide you with the following health benefits:

Cardio is a great way to stay healthy and fit. HIIT, running, cycling, swimming, walking and jumping rope are just some examples of cardio exercises you can do.

Other types of cardio exercises include dancing, boxing, rowing, and jumping jacks. You shouldn't worry too much about what the best kind of cardio to do is - as long as you find something you like and stick to it.

"There's no single 'best' type of cardio," Colvin says. "I typically recommend cardio activities to my patients depending on what they have access to, if they have any lower body problems, such as knee arthritis that could get aggravated with higher-impact activities, and what activities they enjoy and would be likely to stick with."

Potatoes are a staple food around the world, featured in a variety of cuisines and popular dishes (1).

However, as theyre high in carbs and often served in highly processed forms, you may be curious whether you can eat them while following the paleo diet.

If youre new to the paleo diet, you should know that this way of eating focuses primarily on food quality. Specifically, it involves choosing whole, natural, unprocessed foods that are aligned with those that ancient hunter-gatherer societies may have eaten (2).

Generally, people who follow a paleo diet avoid grains, dairy, beans, and legumes, along with most added sugars and processed additives.

This article explains whether you can eat potatoes on the paleo diet.

Generally, unprocessed potatoes of all types can be part of a paleo diet.

Similarly to grains, which are off-limits on paleo, potatoes are starchy and rich in carbohydrates. However, potatoes are actually a type of starchy vegetable that grows underground, known as a tuber (2, 3).

In paleo circles, theres some debate about white potatoes because they are starchier than sweet potatoes and may raise your blood sugar levels more quickly.

However, when eaten with the skin, their nutrient composition is comparable to that of sweet potatoes. Therefore, they should be fine to eat in moderation on the paleo diet (4, 5).

As long as theyre free of additives, even frozen or dehydrated potatoes could be considered paleo as well.

Cooking methods can also make a difference in whether potatoes fit the paleo diet. For instance, homemade french fries would need to be baked or fried in a paleo-acceptable oil like coconut oil, while homemade mashed potatoes would need to be prepared without dairy.

Additionally, if youre doing a low carb or keto version of paleo, youll want to limit potatoes because of their carb content (3).

Keep in mind that potatoes, as well as other nightshade vegetables, such as eggplants and tomatoes, are off-limits on the Autoimmune Protocol (AIP) diet, which resembles the paleo diet.

This protocol is an elimination diet typically followed by those with autoimmune conditions and other medical conditions to identify potential food triggers and improve symptoms.

Many people who follow the paleo diet are interested in optimizing their health, so the resistant starch content of potatoes may be of particular interest.

Resistant starch is a type of starch that your body cant easily digest. In this way, it behaves like dietary fiber. Resistant starch may help manage your blood sugar and blood fat levels, as well as help you absorb minerals more efficiently (6).

You can increase the resistant starch content of potatoes by heating and cooling them prior to eating. One example of a dish that would inherently contain resistant starch is cold potato salad, which can easily be made using paleo ingredients (1, 7).

Unless youre doing a low carb version of paleo or the AIP diet, unprocessed potatoes can be part of your diet. Depending on how theyre prepared, potatoes can be a good source of resistant starch, a unique type of fiber with some interesting health benefits.

On the other hand, many potato products arent appropriate for the paleo diet.

Its important to check the ingredient list before you discount any item in particular, but in general, the following potato-based foods wouldnt be considered paleo:

Unprocessed potatoes can be included on the paleo diet, while processed forms like potato chips or dehydrated mashed potatoes should not be included.

Unprocessed potatoes and potatoes that are cooked with paleo-friendly ingredients can be part of the paleo diet, which focuses on unprocessed foods and limits grains, legumes, and dairy.

Potatoes also contain resistant starch, a type of fiber that may offer some promising health benefits, such as improved blood sugar control.

However, certain potato products, such as those made with dairy or highly processed additives, arent considered paleo.

Unless youre following a low carb version of paleo or the AIP diet, unprocessed potatoes can be an excellent, nutritious addition to your diet.

Gigi Hadid gave birth to her first child in September 2020. Angela Weiss/AFP via Getty Images

Gigi Hadid says she doesn't feel the immediate need to be a size 0 after giving birth in September.

The model told Vogue on Thursday that she's "not as small" as she was but is a "realistic thinker."

She added that anyone who says she has to be a size 0 for her career "can suck it."

Visit Insider's homepage for more stories.

Supermodel Gigi Hadid said she doesn't feel pressure to lose weight quickly after giving birth to her and Zayn Malik's daughter Khai.

The 25-year-old spoke about the changes her body has undergone in the four months since delivering her baby in a Vogue profile published Thursday.

"I know that I'm not as small as I was before, but I also am a very realistic thinker," she said, adding, "I straight up was like, 'Yeah, I'll shoot a Vogue cover, but I'm obviously not going to be a size 0, nor do I, at this point, feel like I need to be back to that.'"

Hadid continued, "I also think it's a blessing of this time in fashion that anyone who says that I have to be that can suck it."

Months before Hadid gave birth to Khai, the model told fans that her cheeks became rounder during her pregnancy.

"People think I do fillers on my face, and that's why my face is round. I've had this since I was born," she said during an Instagram Live with Maybelline in May.

She continued, "Especially fashion month, when I was already, like, a few months preggo."

The model, who was pregnant with Khai at the time, added she wasn't overly concerned with how her body would change in the future because she's "happy with the natural process of the world."

During a 2018 Harper's Bazaar interview with her friend Blake Lively, Hadid talked about being body-shamed on social media.

"Most of it is just nonsense. But it can still hurt," she said.

Hadid said that people thought she "gave in" to the modeling industry by slimming down. However, she said it naturally happened because she wasn't playing volleyball or horseback riding nearly as much.

Story continues

She also explained that she was diagnosed with Hashimoto's disease, which meant she "needed to eat healthy and work out."

"If I could choose, I would have my a-- back and I would have the tits I had a few years ago. But, honestly, we can't look back with regret," she said.

Hadid added, "I loved my body then, and I love my body now."

Both Steven Yeun and Michaela Coel were snubbed by the Golden Globe nominations on Wednesday, but the Screen Actors Guild Awards have helped right that wrong by nominating both actors and their respective projects.

The SAG Awards just nominated Steven Yeun for best actor. They also nominated his costar, Youn Yuh-jung, for best supporting actress, and "Minari" got a nod in the best ensemble category, too - the SAG equivalent of best picture.

Steven Yeun wasn't nominated at the Globes either, while a much-maligned Golden Globes rule meant that "Minari" was ineligible for a best picture drama nomination. Because 70% of "Minari" was spoken in Korean, the film was classified as a foreign language film and not allowed to be nominated for best picture drama.

These SAG Awards nominations aren't a total surprise. Michaela Coel has plenty of celebrity supporters of her work, including many actors who make up SAG voters.

While just about anyone can tell you that your body requires nutrients and vitamins, very few can guide you to just how much of those nutrients and vitamins you need to have per day to lead a healthy and active life. Nutrition is an entire subject on its own wherein people have to spend years understanding the benefits and adverse effects of what goes in our body its a lot more than a quick Google search!

To bridge the gap between professionals and the novice, several brands have come up with nutritional fixes to facilitate the intake of your body needs. One such fix would be organic nutritional shakes or liquid meals.

Liquid Meals

Traditionally, a well-balanced meal is thought to be one where you see many proteins, some greens, and a range of other colors on your plate. You wouldnt equate that meal with having the same nutritional value as something in a cup. However, thats the entire point the nutritional values in both the meal and the drink are virtually the same, yet the drink has fewer calories and is easier to make.

Organic nutritional shakes are therefore also referred to as liquid meals because of the nutritional value they hold. These meals are formulated to provide the consumer with the same health benefits as traditional lunch with several other considerations such as time, ease, fitness, and cost reductions.

Advantages of Having Organic Shakes

It probably wouldnt come as a surprise to most people that it takes a fraction of the time to blend in powder or formula (or grab one out of the fridge) over preparing an entire meal. While a traditional meal provides the same nutrients as an organic shake, it usually has added calorie value because of any oil, butter, or another cooking medium thats found its way onto the plate.

An organic shake reduces the caloric intake by roughly 200-300 calories. Therefore, they are great alternatives for people who are looking to lose weight or maintaining their weight.

No one binges more than someone whos on a diet. If youre told not to eat candy, you might crave it more than had you been told you could. Binge eating is a significant problem for people who have been trying to stay healthy. All it takes is a lapse in judgment and youre back to ground zero.

With organic shakes, youll have a readily accessible meal within seconds. It satisfies your appetite enough for you not to have to binge on junk food or fast food.

Having to chastise yourself from eating unhealthy at home is one thing, but having to do so in a setting where not everyone is on a diet is a whole other thing. When people work, they find it increasingly hard to maintain their healthy choices, mostly since other people will eat everything you want to.

Plus, it wouldnt be as cost-effective or time-effective to prepare a meal. Instead, a liquid meal would come in handy to fill your stomach up quickly and get the job done (literally).

Meal replacement shakes, liquid meals, or organic nutritional shakes can also be beneficial when it comes to total nutrition. Brands are continually coming out with the next best thing. While older nutritional shakes were based more on protein-rich sources, newer ones also include anti-oxidants and other minerals.

All in all, organic nutritional shakes have significant benefits in providing the consumer with their moneys worth and getting them on the right track to leading a healthy and active lifestyle.

A new study from Holland and Barrett conducted in December 2020 has unveiled some interesting statistics, such as the most popular reason for choosing a vegan diet being the health benefits.

In fact, 41% of new vegans say they switched to veganism for their health, compared to 32% for ethical reasons, and 24% for sustainability and the environment.

These enticing health benefits have been identified as weight loss, glowing skin, and increased libido. Nearly half of the study participants said they had lost weight, with 60% seeing weight loss in the first three months.

Increased libido is something longterm vegan Pamela Anderson highlighted on social media recently, and even challenged Piers Morgan to try a vegan diet for that purpose. The actress tweeted to her 1.2 million followers:

Vegans make better lovers. The cholesterol in meat, eggs, and dairy causes hardening of the arteries (and not much else).

It slows blood flow to all the bodys organs, not just the heart. You can improve your overall health and increase stamina in the bedroom by going vegan.

Its safe to say Piers didnt like this insinuation that his manhood didnt perform well in the bedroom, and wasnt on board with Andersons claims.

However, a third of men and a quarter of women questioned in the study reported a libido boost, so there may be truth to the claim!

An interesting find was that more than one in four vegans (29%) had adopted the diet in the past 12 months. This indicates two things. Firstly, the rise of veganism is exponential and will continue to increase more steeply over the next few years.

Moreover, the Vegan Society has predicted that vegans and vegetarians will make up a quarter of the British population by 2025.

Secondly, that the Covid-19 pandemic has played a significant role in the rise. In fact, 12% of adults (and 23% of those aged 16-24) said that the outbreak had made a vegan diet more appealing. With the threat of a bird flu pandemic on the horizon, it is no surprise that switching to plant-based foods is looking like the best option for many people.

Holland and Barretts nutritionist Emily Rollason has debunked some health concerns of vegans and non-vegans on the website, and you can read the full results of the study here.

To pass the time during this third wave of COVID-19, Ive found myself dipping in and out of several diddly little volumes. A bit of craic here, some sage advice there, and some mindlessly entertaining drivel now and again.

Funny, it seemed to me, to find a sage bit of advice in a book called Grumpy Old Wit. Even more absurd was that the piece of wisdom passed off as grumpy wit was attributed to the management guru Tom Peters.

Create, goes the quote, a to-dont list that contains tasks, rituals, and meetings that you should never waste your time on again. Then stick to it.

While Im confident that Mr. Peterss list is intended for important executives and high-powered leaders of business and industry, I think there is a solid plank in this pointer upon which to build a strong platform for living my life with multiple sclerosis (MS).

I know well the importance of a to-do list. Back in the day, I was even fairly good at managing myself and others using graduated running lists of priorities for multiple outlets and locations in various time zones.

Checking things off from such lists (or confirming that others had) gives one a sense of accomplishment, but also requires accountability to oneself to ensure that things dont fall through the cracks.

All well and good in either the business or the MS world. But what about to-dont lists?

The idea of looking back at various attempts Ive made during my decades of living with MS and jotting down those that were a complete waste of time (along with those with little or no net return) seems like a great way of turning negative experiences into positive outcomes.

Modes of exercise or weight loss that didnt work for one reason or another would be a good place to start for me. Various coping methods that were either unproductive or, worse, harmful would be up toward the top of my to-dont list as well.

But beyond the obvious, I think there is a lot of ore to mine in the discards of our previous attempts.

It could be some attachment to puritanism in our DNA, but we seem too often to regard ourselves as at fault if something doesnt work for us. We think we mustnt have tried hard enough or for long enough if an attempt falls flat. Rather, Id argue, some things just dont work or they dont work anymore.

Further, some things just arent worth the return on investment, monetary or otherwise. I think back on the long-term side effects of treatments for MS attacks, and Ill put those on the list. Perhaps they dont quite qualify as to-dont, but rather as only if as their echo can still be heard reverberating on my health.

Perhaps the most difficult, but possibly the most important, subjects to place on our running to-dont lists will be the people who have made the difficult parts of our life with MS more difficult or the good parts of life less good.

I know that for me, the toxic people in my life may be the hardest to untether from my habits. But they are likely also those who are most imperative to catalog and, paraphrasing Mr. Peters, stick to to avoid them sticking it to us again.

As I reflect on this idea, it may seem a bit harsh. A list of things to never waste time on again is a pretty damning list to put something or someone on.

If I think on it for more than a passing moment, however, I can see the extent of energy, pain, and self-doubt that would have been saved if Id recorded endeavors and antagonists, attempts and btes noires that led me down paths better not revisited.

Weve a finite reserve of energy and an ever-dwindling expanse of time upon which to spend that energy. Why then, please tell me, would we think it positive to step again on stones we know to be unsteady and that have before sent us unceremoniously skidding on our backsides?

No more. Im making an MS to-dont list and Im sticking to it!

Wishing you and your family the best of health.

Cheers,

Trevis

REBEL Wilson shocked fans this week when she posed for an Instagram shot for her 9.5 million followers.

The Pitch Perfect star looked unrecognisable having embarked on a new health and fitness journey.

The 40-year-old captioned the photo: "Lots on my mind...aghhhhhh...#single-girl-heading-to-Super-Bowl!", confirming her split from billionaire boyfriend Jacob Busch.

But how did Rebel lose more that 60 pounds after declaring 2020 as a "year of health"?

At the time, she wrote on Instagram: Okay so for me 2020 is going to be called The Year of Health.'

So I put on the athleisure and went out for a walk, deliberately hydrating on the couch right now and trying to avoid the sugar and junk food, which is going to be hard after the holidays Ive just had but Im going to do it! Whos with me in making some positive changes this year?

She revealedher target weightof 165 pounds (11.7 stone) to her fans.

Even if you have to crawl towards your goals, keep going x it will be worth it, shecaptioned a photo of herselfin a tracksuit and bra.

Try and give a little bit of effort each dayI know some days are frustrating as hell, you feel like giving up, you get annoyed at the lack of progressbut good things are coming your way," she encouraged.

Rebel previously said that she had embraced the Mayr Method as well as working out with her trainer.

She reached her goal weight in November last year.

The diet is based on the book by Dr Harald Stossier and Helena Frith Powell.

The plan focuses on your gut and how the foods you eat ultimately affect your digestive system.

Most people will just buy the book but for those with a little more cash, they will visit a Mayr centre in Austria or London.

5

Rebel previously posted about the centre in Austria.

Here you will spend a week having your diet and routine scrutinised by experts who will help you with your snacking and reducing gluten and dairy intake - this will cost around 1,600 for the week.

The diet is not calorie controlled but you will be taught how to chew your food and will be encouraged to eat slowly.

People following the plan will have their biggest meal at breakfast and their smallest meal at dinner time.

Its website states: "VIVAMAYR combines modern complementary medicine with traditional diagnostics and therapies according to F.X. Mayr.

"Once we have treated your condition, proper nutrition combined with exercise and improved mental awareness become the building blocks of your new life.

"Modern Mayr Medicine is based on the four principles of Rest, Cleanse, Train and Substitute with the goal of integrating and practicing each principle individually for a period of time."

Aside from diet and wellness, Rebel has also been working out with personal trainer Jono Castano.

She regularly posts videos on her Instagram stories and part of her workouts include strength building such as flipping tyres.

As well as strength exercises she also makes sure to include cardio and incorporates sprint and high intensity interval training.

She also posts about going for hikes and long walks outside.

5

While it's important to include all of the major food groups in your diet, Rebel recently told People magazine that she had cut down on the amount of carbs and had upped her protein intake.

She said: "Before I was probably eating 3,000 calories most days, and because they were normally carbs, I would still be hungry.

So, I've really changed to eating a high-protein diet, which is challenging because I didn't used to eat a lot of meat. I eat fish, salmon, and chicken breast.
