As feeling overwhelmed and stressed in daily life has come to be the norm for millions of Americans, the practice of grounding to manage anxiety and stress has been gaining popularity as of late. For those unfamiliar with the concept, grounding is the practice of redirecting your focus away from intrusive worry and anxiety triggers through both physical and mental exercises. While the practice of mental and physical grounding to regulate the nervous system and manage anxiety has been around for decades, a type of physical grounding called “Earthing” has been experiencing amplified popularity on social media lately among mental…
Soup is the ultimate cozy winter food. Whether you prefer butternut squash, tortilla, or classic chicken noodle, a bowl of soup can do more than just satisfy your cravings—it can also support your weight loss goals. Research suggests that soup may aid in weight loss by increasing feelings of fullness and reducing calorie intake. A study published in the journal Appetite found that enjoying soup before a meal can help curb hunger, while the British Journal of Nutrition reported that regular soup consumption is associated with higher intakes of protein and fiber, improved diet quality, and lower body fat levels.

“Dry scooping” is a trend made popular by social media influencers in which you consume a dry scoop of pre-workout — straight-up. (You can also dry scoop protein powder, but that’s not as common.) Instead of mixing the powder with water, you put it directly in your mouth and then drink a little water to wash it down. Before you try this at home, know that this trend is downright dangerous. So even if you’re tempted to give it a try — please don’t. Read on to learn what can happen if you “dry scoop” pre-workout instead of mixing it with water like the…
While low-calorie diets might promise quick weight loss, they’re bound to leave you hangry, low in energy, and most likely deficient in many essential nutrients. Depending on your unique needs, a 2,000-calorie meal plan can be a more sustainable approach, providing you with all the nutrients you need while you work towards sustainable and safe weight loss goals. You might notice that nutrition labels on packaged foods base their recommended dietary allowances on a 2,000-calorie diet, but this doesn’t mean that everyone needs 2,000 calories every day. That being said, this amount is right in the middle for the majority…

In today’s generation, you have to text someone before you can have the audacity to call them without permission. It’s almost impossible to purchase anything without having to take a picture of a QR code to get any information. Then there is…
As universities and colleges welcome new groups of students this fall, many professionals are embarking on a new challenge: balancing their existing work life with new study commitments. However, this is easier said than done. According to the U.K.’s Higher Education Statistics Agency, mature students are in decline, as are part-time learners. Similarly, in the U.S., adult learners make up less than one-quarter of all undergraduate students as of 2022. These individuals face distinct challenges as they try to juggle work and school. Some of the key problems working professionals face are financing their degrees, managing commitments and finding a…
1. Despite the addition of numerous divisions and weight classes since the Olympia’s inception in 1965, only the winner of the open bodybuilding competition can claim the title of “Mr. Olympia.” 2. The first Joe Weider’s Mr. Olympia competition was held on September 18, 1965, at the Brooklyn Academy of Music in Brooklyn, NY. Shutterstock 3. Larry Scott was crowned the first Mr. Olympia. Literally “crowned” – the original first-place trophy was a jeweled crown. Scott won again in 1966. 4. The first overseas Mr. Olympia was held in Paris, France, in 1971. Winner: Arnold Schwarzenegger. 5. The 1975 Mr.…
