Intermittent Fasting Boosts Health

Various versions of the intermittent fasting diet appear to have weight loss benefits. A new study investigating why they work concludes that circadian rhythms are key. Intermittent fasting has become popular, but how does it work? While the modern world appears awash with fad diets, people seem to be giving a fair bit of attention to intermittent fasting.

Wheat: The Unhealthy Whole Grain

Flip through your parents’ or grandparents’ family albums and you’re likely to be struck by how thin everyone looks. The women probably wore size-four dresses and the men sported 32-inch waists.

Nowadays I go outdoors on any nice day and see dozens of women jogging, riding their bicycles, […]

But with the increased life expectancy, a question arises: How do people stay healthy as they age? A new concept of healthy aging has emerged.
