Jrgen Klopp expects to have Mohamed Salah and Andy Robertson fully fit for Wednesdays Premier League clash with Crystal Palace at Anfield.

Due to minor knocks, Salah has been named on the substitutes bench for tonights fixture at Everton, while Robertson misses out of the squad.

Speaking exclusively to Liverpoolfc.com for the new Match Centre, Klopp told us: There are different reasons for the line-up.

Its a really special time and in this time, after four weeks pre-season and preparation, we cannot ignore that we play again on Wednesday. I just cant. Its not the last game of the season, so I have to think a little bit about it.

Some players couldnt train in the last week they trained, but not with the team like Mo and Robbo, but yesterday they were in training and both looked really good. Thats why Mo is in the squad, Robbo not yet but on Wednesday [he will be] again.

For Robbo, it was better to have a proper session today and then be in for Wednesday, and for Mo it is the right thing to do it like this.

You can watch the full interview with Klopp and the reasoning behind his line-up selection by visiting the Match Centre now.

Lisa Balestri is a 60-year-old financial consultant in Toronto who is pushing back against the novel coronavirus pandemic.

She is respecting physical distancing protocols but she continues to go for daily walks and runs. She also spends two hours strength-training every other day.

Its impressive for anyone at any age, considering gyms and fitness studios have yet to reopen across the country.

Three months ago, the fitness industry was booming, generating an estimated $127.4 billion worldwide according to The International Health, Racquet & Sportsclub Association. There was something for everybody: spinning, barre, pilates, CrossFit, yoga, dance, you name it.

Today, the health and wellness industry remains in flux with most gyms across Canada still closed due to COVID-19.

According to a recent IPSOS poll that surveyed 16 countries, 30 per cent of Canadians are feeling anxiety about the pandemic, with 29 per cent saying theyre overeating. The same percentage also reported a lack of exercise.

Theres longstanding research to show that theres a relationship between physical activity and mental health. Being active improves mood, (relieves) symptoms of depression, symptoms of anxiety in a number of ways. We cant really fight the research anymore on that, said Catherine Sabiston, a professor at the University of Toronto and research chair in physical activity and mental health.

Balestri acknowledges that staying active is essential in her physical and mental health. She is living with a herniated disc, arthritis, and spinal stenosis, which can trigger excruciating pain in her neck.

Sitting still and being sedentary is not an option for her.

I find that if I dont excercise, the pain will start again. When youre in pain, I think its such a mental toll on you. It can put you into a depression, high anxiety, says Balestri.

She takes advantage of the outdoors and has a simple set-up at home including a fold up bike, a yoga mat, light weights, and dumbbells that her father once used back in the 1950s.

As modest as it is, not everyone has access to fitness equipment like Balestri.

Days after lockdown, free weights and fitness-related equipment became as hard to find as toilet paper. Unfortunately, the former is still difficult to find.

The last month or two, the supplies have been very low because our suppliers have run out of inventory. But it seems like theyre catching up and well finally be able to fulfill hundreds of orders, says Michael Gatbonton, manager at Spartan Fitness, which sells exercise equipment in Ontario and the Maritimes.

A lot of weights, barbells are made overseas and it takes them a while to get here.

Turns out the supply chain for fitness equipment had the same vulnerabilities as personal protective equipment. Most of it is made overseas, making them hard to get during a worldwide pandemic, he said.

But necessity is the mother of invention and many Canadians have adapted by participating in online home workouts.

Caleigh Rykiss is the owner of BOLO in Toronto, a 7,000 sq-foot fitness facility that once held around 16 classes, serving several hundred clients on a daily basis. She quickly pivoted her business; renting out weights and hosting digital workouts.

Of course, its different to teach people online than it is in-person. However, I think we need to take a moment to reflect on how privileged and lucky we are to be in a time where we can still connect face-to-face. Another benefit of the virtual world is that we can serve more people from more places farther away, she said.

Its not just an opportunity to burn calories, its an opportunity to connect emotionally with the community, she adds.

Select gyms reopened across Canada early June like Club 16 Trevor Linden Fitness in B.C. with new protocols, increased sanitation and reduced capacity. Meanwhile, gyms in Toronto remain closed, although an upcoming yoga event is proceeding as planned that will allow participants to step out of their at-home bubble into another one.

Even though gyms are innovating and adapting, the fitness industry wont be the same for a long time.

We know one of the main barriers to people exercising is the fear of going into the gym in the first placeEven those who didnt experience that anxiety going into the gym may now experience it. For some individuals, it will be very anxiety-provoking, says Sabiston.

Addressing physical and mental health is something that will have to tackle once doors re-open. And in some cases, doors that never opened in the first place.

TRIBESpace Yoga owner Jordana Ricketts was supposed to open her Toronto studio in the spring but the pandemic put a pause on the poses.

Every day Im just putting one foot in front of the other to continue on this path as though we will be successful, as though COVID will not bankrupt us, she said.

She believes that there is a place for her space post-pandemic, especially for those who will need a physical and mental reset after months of isolation.

When you appeal to their sights, the sounds with the music, and the smells with the incense and the sage that we have burning here all the timeall of those factors combined are really gonna draw people here and feel that feeling of relaxation, Ricketts adds.

Balestri finds that calm and relaxation when she works out. Its not just a physical necessity, its also a way for her to stay connected to her late father.

These are special weights. They are my dads weights, says Balestri, as she points to the rusted screws keeping it in place.

She says her dad had a lot of physical challenges later in his life, but that he kept moving. He kept walking.

Balestri doesnt rule out going back to a gym in the future.

But for now, shes just happy to be active and blazing her own trail.

Questions about COVID-19? Here are some things you need to know:

Symptoms can include fever, cough and difficulty breathing very similar to a cold or flu. Some people can develop a more severe illness. People most at risk of this include older adults and people with severe chronic medical conditions like heart, lung or kidney disease. If you develop symptoms, contact public health authorities.

To prevent the virus from spreading, experts recommend frequent handwashing and coughing into your sleeve. They also recommend minimizing contact with others, staying home as much as possible and maintaining a distance of two metres from other people if you go out. In situations where you cant keep a safe distance from others, public health officials recommend the use of a non-medical face mask or covering to prevent spreading the respiratory droplets that can carry the virus.

Bensons Syndrome, or posterior cortical atrophy,is a rare, progressive degenerative condition and is a form of dementia not considered a type of Alzheimers disease.

Though PCA and Alzheimers disease both involve the loss and dysfunction of neurons, or brain cells, they affect different parts of the brain.

For the most part, Alzheimers usually first impacts the sides of the brain, those areas that play an important role in memory, which causes the first symptoms of memory loss.

PCA, first described in 1988 by Dr. D. Franck Benson, develops slowly and first affects the back of the brain known as the occipital lobe, which is responsible for vision. Often, those first experiencing this condition describe visual problems or complex visual behaviors.

Those with PCA symptoms would have difficulty perceiving objects like glass doors, difficulty in recognizing people and can struggle with reading, writing and numerals. Additionally, they might have difficulty with some tasks, such as buttoning up a shirt.

The syndrome is sometimes caused by other diseases, such as dementia with Lewy Bodies.

Signs of depression and anxiety tend to be prominent in the early stages of PCA. Early detection and treatment of psychiatric symptoms can affect function and independence in daily life.

The first symptoms of PCA typically occur in those in their late 40s, 50s or early 60s, and are often subtle and difficult to diagnose. As the brain deteriorates and the disease progresses, more Alzheimers-like symptoms occur, such as memory loss and confusion.

Risk factors for developing the disease are unknown. PCA is said to be the most poorly understood type of dementia, and there is no specific treatment. Most often the same medications prescribed for Alzheimers disease are used.

While researchers have observed that PCA and Alzheimers disease have the same changes in the brain and the same protein buildup and the same pathology, it is a mystery why this specific dementia affects different parts of the brain.

Because of the nature of the disease, PCA presents unique challenges for clinicians who counsel those affected and their families on clinical status and prognosis, and experts designing clinical trial of interventions.

VANCOUVER -- Steve Nash Fitness World, acquired by a group of investors earlier this week, will be reopening some locations in July under a slightly different name: Fitness World.

The chain, which had more than two dozen locations across British Columbia, including Crunch Fitness and UFC GYMs, closed its doors in March because of the pandemic. It laid off nearly 1,300 employees, and by April, owed tens millions of dollars and had filed for creditor protection.

It was acquired in June by a new group of investors, but the CEO, Chris Smith, stayed on.

Fitness World says it will honour all existing service agreements with Steve Nash members, and those who have frozen their memberships because of the pandemic will be able to extend the freeze into July, if they aren't yet comfortable returning to the gym.

But it's unclear how many of the original locations will actually be reopening. In the release announcing the rebranding, Fitness World said it will be donating equipment from closed locations to "communities in need."

The company says more information will become available in the weeks to come.

Three devices combine for something great.

Fitness trackers, smartwatches, bands, and hybrids are a competitive section of the market in 2020.

Gone are the days when you simply had to choose between a Jawbone and a Fitbit.

Now youve a smorgasbord of options to consider and for the purposes of todays article, were going to look at the work of French electronics company Withings.

Withings is a health ecosystem of connected devices and apps, designed for the purpose of improving daily wellbeing and long-term health.

Their products range from smartwatches and hybrids, to blood pressure monitors, to smart weighing scales, to sleep trackers you can put in your bed. Basically, theyre taking the daily wellbeing and long-term health mantra very seriously.

I tested three of their products for the past few weeks:

Not all of the devices are new on the market it should be said, and while all three devices were impressive in different ways, its the sum of their parts which was most impressive.

The best thing about the three is the link with the Withings Health Mate app, where everything is synced and easily accessible, giving you a comprehensive breakdown of your daily life.

Fitbit's app has always held a spot close to my heart in this area, but it's difficult not to be won over by the detail provided in the Health Mate app. It compiles all your data, explains what it all means and allows you to export it all in PDFs in case you want to show them to your doctor.

When you combine the scales and the smartwatch, both of which work congruently in the Health Mate app, it gives most of the data the average, health-aware person would look for on a daily basis. Only two actions are required. The standing on the scale and the opening of the app on your smartphone. Everything else is handled by the devices themselves.

The app will then provide comparisons with other people your age based on the information about yourself. Its interesting to note that the run you went on earlier gave you a better fitness score than 80% of other people your age.

If processes are made simple, people are more likely to use the features, and Withings is the definition of simple.

The Steel HR Sport provides you with a slim, small hybrid watch that won't take up lots of space on your wrist. Its gorgeously stylish and, unlike some other fitness trackers, looks equally as comfortable with a shirt and tie as running the roads. Its a classy watch all the way.

The battery is seriously impressive. It's been three full days since I charged it and with two heavy training sessions under its belt the battery is still showing up as full. Withings say it will last 25 days but I think with moderate use, that's a conservative estimate.

The small digital display probably helps this but when you considerthat it offers continuous heart rate monitoring, activity tracking and notifications from your phone on a tiny inset display, that's very good indeed.

I wore it alongside two other devices during exercise activity to test its accuracy and unless all three devices are telling me lies, it's as accurate as the others.

But one note, on a daily basis, I did find it rather conservative on the step count. A Fitbit I wore at the time was providing me with about a third more steps per day than the Steel HR Sport. While that may be a little high, and Fitbit are generous with their steps, I did find it difficult to meet a standard 10,000 steps with the Steel HR without making a conscious effort to go out and walk to reach it.

The true number of steps is likely somewhere in the middle and I don't think it's a mark against a fitness tracker that it errs on the side of caution.

The Withings Steel HR Sport hybrid smartwatch is available on the Withings website for 139.

The scalewhich aims to analyse your weight, fat, muscle, water and heart health and take effort out of tracking the fluctuations of your body.

It's simple really. It's a scales with a normal small display, with a bit more tech thrown in to make everything more streamlined.

Withings state it's not a health device, rather a wellness device. But it does have Wi-Fi and Bluetooth for connecting to the Health Mate app and you just have to click add device and you're all ready to go.

The scales can also identify different users, which allows them to record the measurements automatically on their own Withings account.

The Withings Body Cardio comes in either black or white and costs 149.

The product I used the least, but in reality I don't think a mid twenties male with a decent fitness is the target of such a device.

It provides a blood pressure and heart rate monitor, an electrocardiogram and adigital stethoscope. It all syncs to the Health Mate app over Wi-Fi seamlessly.

The BPM Core isa medical device and has been certified by a number of health organisations and costs 250 on the Withings website.

I remember promising myself that should I live

I would prove myself deserving of life. Terry Fox

Living my life deserving of life:

Sunday May 24th 35 km cycling: check

Monday May 25th 45 km cycling: check

Hill Sprints (running up a hill) with my three-year-old grandson?

Priceless

Terry Fox found inner strength strength he did not know he had! What does it mean to feel strong? Mentally strong? Physically strong? Emotionally strong? There are many areas we can be strong while in other areas we struggle. It is when we are in a state of dis-ease, dis-array, dis-proportion that we struggle with motivation, finding passion and energy. I know that feeling. I have spent many days where I could not lift my head off the pillow . I would just sit at the computer and just stare at social media and, when I was drinking, reconciled it was justified having a glass of wine with my lunch. I know what it feels like to be down, out, overwhelmed and depressed. I was dis-eased, out of ease, and out of sync with the world.

I chose to fight and find passion and motivation again and worked hard doing so. It was so difficult some days and all I managed to do was to get out of bed and get dressed and go to work that said, THAT is what saved me, just to keep putting one foot in front of the other. Thetiny habitsof simply doing something, anything that can be celebrated. I loveBJ Foggsapproach through tiny habits that change behaviour and, that in turn, changes your life.

I did not start out cycling 35 45 kms in one go! I also did not start out running 10+ km in one go either. I vividly remember thinking to myself one day I cannot imagine running 10 kms. and that was that. I could not imagine doing it, so I never even thought about it. In March of 2017 my daughter birthed her first child and was beginning to train again to get back to where she had been pre-pregnancy. She is a runner, cyclist and swimmer; a triathlete (In 2019 she completed a half Ironman).

She said, Mom you should train for a tri-a-tri! and with the birth of my baby grandson came the birth of my now routine. I began there. I could not necessarily imagine doing a tri-a-tri (350 m. swim, 10 kms bike, 2.5 km run) what I could imagine was training with my beloved daughter because she believed in me. I found this touched my strength inside. She believed in me, which then sparked a belief in myself.

That was the beginning of a beautiful friendship with my fitness again . it was a start! A change in my behaviour that changed my life. I began there. The first race I did was a 5 km and I walked and ran my way through it. The second race I did, again a 5 km, I ran as long as I could and then began walking my daughter passed me and she regaled as she went by, way to go Mom, you did 1.3 kms before walking! I was elated celebration time.

When we trust the strength we have inside of ourselves the well is deep. It is endless and the potential for successful living is exponentially increased. So exciting it is possible. Since that season in 2017, I have completed a half marathon and have seven finisher medals and 15 bibs hanging on my wall. I have gone completely alcohol free and have passionately cleaned up my eating habits except for ice cream! I love ice cream! I am 60+ years old! I have dreams and aspirations to race and cycle in places around the world and will one day qualify for the worlds multi-sport when racing is happening again. Until then I look after me, I race with me, I run and bike for me with me and I have found my strength inside. You can too!

Over my lifetime I have found many reasons and many ways to get in my own way. I have also looked at hurdles I then chose not to overcome, I found ditches I chose to die in, I spent so much time finding ways to be down and out, lifeless and lacking in joy. I realize now how much of happiness is a choice. When times are tough, when the chips are down, when the darkness is thick . Where do you choose your light to come from?

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reported an estimated 34.2 million cases of diabetes in its National Diabetes Statistics Report for 2020. Diabetes is a medical condition that hampers the pancreas' ability to make or use insulin, which is needed to regulate blood sugar levels. The absence of insulin deprives the cells and tissues of energy, eventually causing the malfunction of the body's tissues.

People with type 1 diabetes have to be given insulin through an injection or pump. According to the CDC, 1.6 million people in the U.S have type 1 diabetes. The statistic comprises of 187,000 children. Though type 1 diabetes is said to affect more children, it can happen to anyone at any age, race and shape.

Those with type 2 diabetes, however, monitor blood glucose levels with mealplan and physical activity. They might need medication atdifferent doses to help them manage blood sugar levels. Depending on the condition, insulin is also given to people with type 2 diabetes to bring blood glucose levels back to normal.

Diabetes, though manageable, is the seventh largest cause of death as of 2017 in the U.S. About 83,564 death certificates mentioned diabetes as the reason behind death. However, 270,702 death certificates stated diabetes as the contributing cause of death in 2017, indicating the people developed complications as a result of diabetes.

Several foods are marketed and tagged as superfood in the food industry, giving people the wrong impression about their capacity to heal. In fact, what they are actually promoting is food with ample vitamins, minerals and antioxidants that enable the normalization of blood glucose levels. By promoting good eating habits, some nourishing food and ingredients help ward off several diseases.

Here is a list of sixsuch superfoods for diabetes-control:

Nuts and Seeds

The options include cashew nuts, peanuts, chia seeds, walnuts, almonds, flaxseeds and pistachios. Since they are filled with healthy fats that are completely absorbed by the body, nuts and seeds thus regulateblood sugar and food intake.Vitamins, minerals, plant protein and fiber make nuts and seeds a balanced snack.

Legumes

Black beans, pinto beans, peas and lentils are some examples of legumes that stabilize blood sugar by helping healthy digestion with the amount of fiber they provide, also preventing the quick absorption of sugar.

Oatmeal

Steel-cut oats do no not have added sugars therefore helping people with type 2 diabetes maintain normal blood sugar levels. Also, oatmeal is a potent source of fiber that helps reach normal A1C levels in people who consume it often.

Tomatoes

Vitamin C found in tomatoes has been shown to bring down elevated blood sugar levels post-meals in people suffering from type 2 diabetes.

Leafy Greens

This list includes spinach, kale, lettuce and Swiss chard among others. As per several studies, these vegetables can possibly lower risk of type 2 diabetes.

Broccoli

Soluble fiber slows down the absorption of blood sugar. Since broccoli is a source of fiber, it prevents risk of increasing blood sugar levels.

New research points to personalised diets that might actually work.

For decades, nutritionists and scientists have been debating whether weight loss is down to sheer will power and healthiness of diet, or whether maintaining a healthy weight is down to your genes.

Now, researchers at the Australian National Phenome Centre (ANPC) at Murdoch University and partners at Imperial College London have shown that people react differently to being fed exactly the same diet.

Further, in an article in Nature Food, they say that for different people, urine contains different patterns of chemicals suggesting that we each have a unique response to diet.

ANPC director Prof Jeremy Nicholson said even when everyone consumed the same amount of calories, some people excreted more calories in their urine than others.

The interaction between our genes and environment is complex and understanding the relationship between our metabolic response to diet is key to the prevention of chronic conditions such as obesity, heart disease and diabetes, Prof Nicholson, who is also pro vice chancellor of Murdoch Universitys Health Futures Institute, said.

As part of the research, a group of healthy individuals were given four different diets ranging from a healthy diet, containing lots of fruit, vegetables and fibre, to the equivalent of a fast food diet and their metabolism was measured.

"Some individuals were more responsive to diet than others, regardless of whether the diet was healthy or not," Prof Nicholson said.

The metabolic pathways that were activated after each diet were found to be different between people, these differences relating to blood glucose levels.

Several of the chemicals that changed in the urine were generated by gut bacteria, which is consistent with the fact that people have different gut bacteria and that these bacteria can use different foods as fuel.

Premiers Fellow and professor of computational medicine at Murdoch University Prof Elaine Holmes said understanding how the bacteria are impacted by diet at the individual level will help to develop new dietary strategies for maintaining health.

"Based on the metabolic response to the four different diets, we were able to create a model that can predict the healthiness of a persons diet," Prof Holmes said.

"We tested the model in two different populations and compared the chemical profiles to dietary records.

"This model will provide a framework for developing precision nutrition programmes aimed at healthy weight loss or maintenance."

Dr Isabel Garcia-Perez from the department of metabolism, digestion and reproduction at Imperial College London said they were in the process of implementing the tool in dietitian clinics to improve the nutritional management of patients, which would make a real difference.

Prof Gary Frost, the head of nutrition research at Imperial College said it was the first time they had tools to rapidly evaluate the diet-microbiome interactions that affect individual responses to complex diet patterns in the real wood.

Prof Nicholson said given the global importance of both over and under-nutrition in driving chronic disease, any new method that helps to understand response to diet at the individual or population level could be a valuable healthcare tool.

People with undiagnosed symptoms should consider that they may have a vitamin B12 deficiency.

While it's unlikely that your symptoms are caused by the condition, there are still many people that have a lack of B12.

A quick blood test could reveal whether you should be adding more B12 to your diet.

You could be at risk of a vitamin B12 deficiency if you develop unexplained pins and needles.

READ MORE: Vitamin B12 deficiency symptoms - your mouth could show your lack of B12

"As well as the symptoms of anaemia, vitamin B12 deficiency may cause symptoms related to your nerves," it said.

"This is called vitamin B12 neuropathy. It may affect your movement and sensation, especially in your legs, cause numbness or pins and needles and decrease your sensitivity to touch, vibration or pain.

"It can also cause confusion, depression, poor concentration and forgetfulness symptoms that can mimic dementia.

"These symptoms aren't always due to vitamin B12 deficiency anaemia, but if you have them see your GP."

Meanwhile, you could also be at risk of a vitamin B12 deficiency if you develop a sharp, stabbing pains in the palm of your hands.

The pain tends to occur suddenly, without any prior warning.

It usually affects the spot just below the ring finger, around where the palm crease lies, it said.

Left untreated, this pain can start to move toward the outside edge of the hand, stemming from the wrist.

Other, more common warning signs of a vitamin B12 deficiency include tiredness, jaundice, and feeling dizzy.

You should speak to a doctor if youre worried about vitamin B12 deficiency symptoms.

But you can top up on the vitamin by eating certain foods.

The best sources of vitamin B12 include beef, liver, dairy foods, eggs, and salmon.

A new study exploring the personalities and body mass of vegetarians and vegans found that they differ in notable ways, on average, when compared to that of meat-eaters. In addition to often having lower BMIs compared to their meat-eating counterparts, the study found that vegetarians are also more likely to have different personality traits, especially when it comes to the world of introverts and extroverts.

The research comes from the Max Planck Institute for Human Cognitive and Brain Sciences, where a large study used data on around 9,000 people to look into diet composition, personality, and body mass. As youd likely expect, vegetarians and vegans were found to have lower BMIs compared to meat-eaters, the reasons likely being due to a combination of eating less processed foods and getting more fiber in their diets.

When it comes to body weight, the study found that people who eat secondary animal products like eggs and butter are almost more likely to have lower BMIs compared to people who eat primary animal products like fish and chicken.

As well, the study found key personality differences in people who are vegetarian and vegan compared to people who eat meat namely, they are more likely to be introverts. The reasons for this arent at all clear, but the researchers speculate that it could be due to anything from having fewer socialization opportunities because of their diet to things like introverts having more restrictive eating habits overall.

Meanwhile, the study was not able to find a link between a lack of animal products in ones diet and issues with depression or neuroticism, both of which have been implicated in past studies. This may be due to the general acceptance and increased adoption of plant-based diets, which has resulted in a large selection of vegetarians who may be eating this type of diet for different reasons compared to older generations.
