TOP 3 MUST READS OF THE WEEK The Impact of Always Staying Busy We often link busyness to productivity and successfully completing tasks. After all, few things compare to the joy of checking off a project or errand from your to-do list. A study from the Journal of Consumer Research reported that busyness and a lack of leisure time are associated with status, and driven by the perception that busy individuals are more competent and ambitious. Being busy has it's benefits, but it can lead to burnout and neglecting important aspects of life, such as nutrition, physical health, sleep, and relationships. If you are looking for an idea, here are a few tips on how to slow down and unplug. Is Creatine a Secret Weapon Against the Cold and Flu? There are a lot of remedies that people recommend for the common cold and flu, but creatine? Creatine monohydrate is one of the most popular and widely researched supplements on the market. It has a treasure chest of benefits including muscle recovery, enhanced performance, and improved cognitive brain function. Research experts recently indicated that creatine may boost the immune system, strengthening it to defend the body against cold and flu viruses. While there still needs to be more research conducted on creatine's long-term effects, as long as cold and flu season is running strong, start storing your creation next to the Airborne. New Study Links Drinking 100% Fruit Juice to Weight Gain Whether it's a classic Capri Sun or a tasty glass of orange juice, fruit juices are the ultimate thirst quenchers. The University of Toronto conducted a survey and found that children and adults who regularly drink fruit juices experienced an increase in weight due to excessive sugar and elevated insulin resistance. The American Academy of Pediatrics advises to limit children ages 1-3 to only drink 6 ounces of 100% fruit juice per day, while adults and teens shouldn't exceed 8 ounces. The AAP also recommends opting for fruits and vegetables as a healthier alternative.

HEALTH & WELLNESS How to Weigh Yourself for the Most Accurate Reading According to a Forbes Magazine survey, shedding pounds ranks as the fourth most common New Year's resolution. Many people keep a scale in their bathroom, while others opt for one at the gym or the doctor's office. However, weight readings for each of these instances may yield different readings. The question arises: What is the optimal time of day to step on the scale? These health experts weigh in on when to use the scale and when to steer clear. The 8 Most Common Food Intolerances Today, being hypersensitive with food or having intolerances and allergies isn't uncommon. An estimated 20% of the global population experiences some form of food intolerance like lactose intolerance, gluten allergies, and reactions to sulfites amongst others. Restaurant menus often incorporate color-coded images and symbols to highlight ingredients in food and drinks that may trigger adverse reactions. The last thing anyone wants is to ingest the ingredients and have a negative reaction. This heightened awareness is especially vital, given the prevalence of these 8 common food intolerances. The Benefits of Training With Resistance Bands Resistance bands are arguably one of the most versatile pieces of exercise equipment. Not only are they good for rehabbing muscles, they're also an excellent low-impact form of strength training, and can easily fit in your suitcase on work trips. Free weights and resistance bands have many similarities, such as providing resistance against muscles and allowing for a full range of motion, but the bands have a few benefits that free weights can't match. Dr. Jim Stoppani explains why training with resistance bands may provide the fitness results that you've been looking for. Is 10,000 Steps a Day Enough in 2024?   When people talk about getting in their daily steps, 10,000 is often the go-to number. The theory was developed during the 1965 Tokyo Olympics by Dr. Yoshiro Hatano to promote exercise to decrease the risk of heart disease in the general public.   Almost 60 years later, in 2024, are 10,000 steps still enough for daily walking? This guide explains the science behind the question.
