The Diet and Workout That Helped Me Lose 30 Pounds in 3 Months - Men's Health Men's Health

Cal Moores, a 27-year-old graphic designer from the UK, shares his 12-week transformation story.

I’ve always been into fitness and going to the gym, but I lacked the commitment and discipline to follow a diet and workout plan. This, along with my lack of gym knowledge, led me to doing the usual crash diets and sporadic workouts that obviously never led to any real results.

I realised I wanted to make a change after the summer of 2021, as I’d been heavily involved in going out and socialising whilst watching England play in the Euros. It was the biggest I’d ever been, and it came from a lack of exercising and overindulging with junk food and alcohol. The weight gain seemed to happen without me even realizing. I knew I was letting my body get out of shape and it was knocking my confidence.

I’m very active, I play football around five times a week, so you’d just assume I’d be in great shape and would be fit. That wasn’t the case for a long time as my diet was poor, and I was drinking a lot on the weekends, which really reflected on my body. I would feel so embarrassed getting changed after games; I think I’ve always subconsciously thought my teammates and people in the changing rooms would be expecting me to be in great shape when getting changed, when in reality I’d be hiding all this extra weight and not wanting anyone to know.

Brain health. Promising prebiotics and probiotics combination

According to new research, the bacteria in our gut, known as gut microbiota, play an important role in brain injury and healing after a stroke. Taking particular types of prebiotics and probiotics can help with brain injury, inflammation, gut bacteria imbalances, and intestinal health. However, we still don't know whether prebiotics, probiotics, or synbiotics (a combination of both) perform best for particular conditions, or how they operate. In this study, scientists tested a new synbiotic formulation containing multiple strains of probiotics Lactobacillus reuteri UBLRu-87 Lactobacillus plantarum UBLP-40 Lactobacillus rhamnosus UBLR-58 Lactobacillus salivarius UBLS-22 Bifidobacterium breve UBBr-01 and prebiotic fructooligosaccharides (FOS) FOS are extracted from the blue agave plant and fruits and vegetables such as bananas, onions, chicory root, garlic, asparagus, jícama, and leeks. Some grains and cereals, such as wheat and barley, also contain FOS. The Jerusalem artichoke and ...

Light Therapy holds promise as a treatment for Alzheimer's Disease

A new article, conducted by Lili Zang and colleagues from Weifang Medical University School of Nursing in Shandong Province, China, discusses a meta-analysis of 15 high-quality trials that investigated the impact of light therapy on individuals with Alzheimer’s disease (AD). The meta-analysis included 598 patients with mild to moderate Alzheimer’s disease, and it covered 15 randomized controlled trials conducted in seven different countries. Those trials were published between 2005 and 2022. Sleep Improvement Light therapy led to significant improvements in several sleep measures. It notably enhanced sleep efficiency, increased interdaily stability, and reduced intradaily variability, all of which are indicators of better sleep quality. Light therapy was associated with a reduction in agitation, depression, and caregiver burden among individuals with Alzheimer’s disease. A significant advantage over usual care was shown in reducing the severity of psychobehavioral symptoms, as assessed...
