Weight loss is a journey that can sometimes be frustrating. One day you are trying a new workout and replaying motivational quotes in your head on repeat, the next day you find yourself feeling as if all of your efforts are all for naught when you step onto the scale and see the same number again. Hitting a weight-loss plateau can be seriously demoralizing.
TBH, your body does not really want you to lose weight—when you cut back on calories, it thinks you are starving. “Your body will then make you feel hungry because it thinks something is wrong and wants you to gain that weight back,” says Peter LePort, MD, a bariatric surgeon and the medical director of MemorialCare Surgical Weight Loss Center at Orange Coast Medical Center in Fountain Valley, California. Also, when you start losing weight (muscle or fat), your metabolic rate slows down, which means your body starts burning calories at a slower rate. Other common culprits behind a weight-loss plateau may be gut imbalances, hormonal imbalances, immune dysregulation, inflammation, nutritional deficiencies, or under-recovery, says Chicago-based dietitian Chelsea Stegman, RD, LD, CPT.

Your bones are living tissues that are constantly breaking down and rebuilding. And diseases that change bone architecture, such as osteoporosis, spell trouble.
“Osteoporosis happens because the cells that break down bone are more active than those that are in charge of building bone, putting you at risk for fracture” explains orthopedic physical therapist Jennifer Danzo. “Osteoporosis is a major health concern. Half of all women and one-quarter of all men over age 50 will have a fracture caused by osteoporosis in their lifetime.” Fortunately, exercise done properly can help to rebuild bone and reduce the likelihood of fracture, says Danzo. Here are her recommendations if you have osteoporosis and haven’t had a bone fracture. If your heart is racing as you’re sitting reading this article, it’s possible your body is trying to tell you something. A high resting heart rate, or a heart rate of more than 100 beats per minute, means your heart is working extra hard to pump blood through your body. And, that extra effort could result in a wide range of negative effects on your overall health, including feelings of dizziness and fatigue – and most seriously – blood clots, heart failure and, in rare cases, sudden death.
Normal resting heart rate is anywhere between 60 and 100 beats per minute, and it’s simple to check how fast yours is beating. While idle, hold your pointer and middle finger between your bone and tendon on the thumb side on your wrist until you feel your pulse, and count the number of beats for a minute – that is your resting heart rate. Certain aspects of someone’s resting heart rate are directly connected to uncontrollable factors, such as age and genetics, however there are certain actions that be taken to help decrease heart rate and improve overall wellbeing for those whose resting heart rate is above normal. Here are six proven ways to lower your resting heart rate: With countless cleansers, serums, moisturizers, exfoliators, and peels available on the market, it’s understandable if your bathroom sink has become overwhelmed with products.

Instead of incorporating a wide variety of products across a number of different steps, “a minimalist skin-care routine focuses on the key steps and ingredients needed to keep your skin healthy and vibrant,” says Susan Massick, MD, a dermatologist in Gahanna, Ohio, and an associate professor of dermatology at the Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center. 30 team building exercises for the 2023 workplace by Allaya Cooks-Campbell (www.betterup.com)3/19/2023 Team building activities are a common way to build camaraderie between workers and to develop personal relationships between team members.
