Anxious to keep healthy? Trying to find tips on it? Just see what these experts said to you.
Eat in Season
"The vegetables in seasons provide the lowest cost, best taste and most nutrition," said registered dietitian Jill Nussinow, "If possible, grow your own or shop at a farmers market or store with high produce turnover. Become familiar with what's in season".
Stay Hydrated(含水的)
"Drink at least 3 liters of water daily, but no more than 1 gallon," said Trinity Perkins, a certified personal trainer, ISSA performance nutrition specialist. "Staying hydrated s essential to your progress-weight loss, energy, immune system functioning and more!" Staying hydrated ensures your body function properly and efficiently.
Eat Slower and Stop Before You're Full
"This is probably one of the most important rules of healthy eating; it means eating until you are satisfied, not stuffed beyond belief," said Darin Hu slander, a verified nutritionist. "This allows your brain signals to kick in and tell your body when its full and ready to stop eating."
Cut Down on Sugar
Weight gain, heart disease, diabetes, and the list of health issues associated with consuming too much added sugar continue to pile up. The amount of sugar people ingest (摄入) has been climbing. Check the ingredients before you decide on food which is high in sugar to keep you feeling satisfied. When your sweet tooth kicks in, reach for some fruit.
Sean Elliot Martin and Pancho Timmons are friends on a mission to change the world, one small act of kindness at a time. That's the subject of their new book, Quick and Easy World Change, which they released as an e-book.
The project is inspired by another kindness-related book Martin worked on years ago. The latest one takes parts of the first book and updates it with more inspiring stories and lists of little things people can do daily to spread goodness wherever they go. "Make a game of giving—you can assign yourself points for different little things," Martin said. "How many doors can I open each day for someone with their hands full? Or how many different ways can I help someone today? Or how many good deeds can I think of?" It also addresses the concept of compound kindness—a domino effect of good deeds. "If you are kind to one person, he's likely to be kind to two to five people," Martin said.
Both authors' lives have been impacted by the kindness of others, they each explained. Quick and Easy World Change is their way to pay those experiences forward. For Timmons, a teacher's mercy in college was a turning point for him. "I did all the things I was supposed to do-worked hard, studied hard-and ended up failing pretty miserably," he recalled. "But the professor pulled me aside and said, "You're an A student turning in C and D. work because you're clearly dyslexic (阅读障碍) and not getting the help you need." "That 5-minute conversation was the difference between dropping out of college and getting two master's degrees and now running two companies, Timmons said. "I've spent my career trying to pay that forward."
With the electronic version available, their plan is to release hard copies. The authors hope people will use it like a workbook, a document they can mark up, reflect on and use to make their lives-and the lives of others better.
For motorcycle enthusiasts, nothing beats the excitement of riding your motorcycle on the open highway with the wind on your back. With gas prices rising, riding motorcycles is economical and a much greener way to travel. Along with the benefits comes the risk of personal injury if an accident occurs. After all, you're not protected by steel like you are while driving your car. Besides a helmet (头盔), the latest safety innovations, new airbag jeans, are personal airbags that you can wear to better protect your life.
Airbags have been protecting people in car accidents for decades. Now, a Swedish company, Mo' cycle, teamed up with an airbag technology company which previously produced upper body protection for motorcycle riders, to design and produce the airbags jeans. This kind of airbag can offer protection for the motorcycle rider's lower body, especially the tailbone, in case of an accident. According to the company, "It reformed the airbag technology to protect the first bone of the spinal column(脊柱), because spinal column injury is the leading cause of disability among motorcycle riders. "
The airbag jeans look like ordinary trousers. Its component is removable and the jeans can be washed, dried, and worn again. The jeans are made of the materials called Armalith which is stronger and weighs less than steel. Armalith helps to prevent riders from injuries after a fall. The airbags fixed into the fabric help protect the rider if he or she falls off the motorcycle. If the rider is separated from the vehicle, the airbags are touched off in seconds. That's because the mechanism is actually a chain that connects the jeans to the motorcycle.
Mo' cycle's airbag jeans are available on the company's crowd funding campaign along with an airbag shirt and a complete protection package. Obviously, they can provide protection for more motorcycle riders. Making the roads safer for them is certainly a worthy effort.
NASA's James Webb Space Telescope has taken its first image of a planet outside of our solar system. The telesco pe recorded four different views of HIP 65426 b, a large planet about 6 latest one takes to 12 times the mass of the planet Jupiter.
"This is a historic moment, not only for Webb but also for astronomy generally," said Sasha Hinkley, associate professor of physics and astronomy at the University of Exeter Astronomers discovered HIP 65426 b in 2017 using the European Southern Observatory's Very Large Telescope in Chile. It is a young exoplanet(系外行星) around 15 to 20 million years ole-Earth is 4.5 billion years old.
According to NASA, taking direct images of exoplanets presents a challenge because stars are much brighter than their surrounding planets-HIP65426 b is more than 10,000 times duller than its host star in the near-infrared(近红外光), and a few thousand times duller in the mid-infrared.
Webb has a near-infrared camera and mid-infrared instrument, which are both equipped with coronagraphs(日冕仪). "It was really impressive how well the Webb coronagraphs worked to suppress the light of the host star," Prof. Hinkley said. Since the planet is around 100 times further away from its host star than Earth is from the Sun, the telescope can easily separate it from the star in the image.
Although this is not the first direct image of an exoplanet taken from space, as the Hubble Space Telescope has taken direct exoplanet images previously, the image points the way to future observations that will disclose more information about exoplanets. "I think what's most exciting is that we've only just begun," said Aarynn Carter, a postdoctoral researcher at the University of California. "There are many more images of exoplanets to come that will shape our overall understanding of their physics, chemistry and formation. We may even discover previously unknown planets, too."
Everyone has one or more talents. Bringing out the best in others can gradually change the world. With patience, you can gradually find the admirable characteristics of people around you. Here are some ways to help you to identify and admire the talents of people around you.
Be kind to others. Giving is a good way to find out the good qualities in others. Being kind doesn't just mean helping someone financially. You can assist them with your advice, talents and so on. Besides, you will know how they deal with their problems in life with a mind: never give up.
Be flexible to discover good qualities in others. Talents adopt several forms and they put people in different circumstances. Some people you come across may have different attitudes towards life from you.
Find the weakness in others. Nobody is perfect and everyone has some shortcomings. However, these are useful to you. Start by analyzing the shortcomings in others, and then you can easily find out the good qualities they already have.
One of the finest ways to discover good characteristics of others is to ask them something about their success and failure. The more you are curious, the more you will know about a person.

Nick was troubled and aimless. Then one night, everything changed.
At first, it was just faint light as Nick drove past a two-story house. Then he realized the house was on fire. He immediately pulled up to investigate. 1 was climbing up the front porch. Hurrying out of the 2 , he yelled, "Help, fire!" A car drove past and Nick tried to 3 it to stop, but in vain.
He ran to the back door, sure it would be 4 . To his amazement, it swung open. Without 5 , Nickran inside, peering into rooms to see if anyone was home. He had just started climbing when he 6 and saw four faces emerge at the top of the stairs. After Nick's warning, they came pouring down and rushed out.
"Anybody else in there?" Nick asked. When told a 6-year-old was still in, he ran back. By now, the whole house was in flames. The smell was 7 . The smoke was thick. He lifted his T-shirt to cover his mouth and nose. Ashe hesitated, he heard the kid crying 8 . Nick stumbled into the blackness, 9 on smoke. His 10 stayed alert as he moved toward the sound. Then suddenly the kid was in front of him and Nick quickly grabbed her into his arms. The flames were 11 even closer. Nick took a few steps 12 and threw himself out of the window. Outside, the firefighters had arrived. He handed over the girl—crying, but miraculously uninjured 13 a cut on her arm—before collapsing on the sidewalk.
Nick's burns have mostly healed, but other changes have been far greater. As news about his 14 spread, a GoFundMe account for his hospital bills exploded, reaching $600, 000. "It somehow feels like both a near-death experience and a 15 . "Nick said.
In 2008, Du Meng graduated from the Central Academy of Fine Arts with a major in Visual Communication Art. Before (specialize) in glass art at the Rochester Institute of Technology's Master of Fine Arts program in the United States, a memorable trip sparked her interest in the craft.
"At the end of 2008, our supervisor (take) me and my classmates on a trip to the U. S. In art museum on the trip, I first saw artists using glass as a material (create) their work. I was curious about how glass could be used in such a way, " said Du Meng.
"I (particular) like to see the changing state of (shadow) cast by light passing through glass at different times and seasons, "Du explained. "The interesting thing about glass (be) that you not only need to consider the glass itself, the light it reflects. "
There's a group of works Du Meng is currently experimenting with. The name is "Drift Through the Forest, Silence in the Valley, "and in the work she has recycled a lot of glass soda bottles. She said it's completely different what she imagined. It's not clear, and there are many textures similar to cracked ice. She believed the naturally formed state is very beautiful.
I keep a two-dollar bill in my wallet that was given to me by my mother when I was six years old. I still remember the day when she pulled me into the living room and said, "You are brilliant in my mind, but if you fail once don't give up. Don't fear failure. It is a way of getting us to try harder. You will succeed, I promise."
She looked at me and continued, "I want you to carry this two-dollar bill for extra good luck."
"Thanks mom," I replied. "I will keep it close to me always."
I am not superstitious(迷信的), but from that day on the bill goes with me wherever I go. I firmly believe that luck would follow me everywhere.
Every morning I would get dressed and my two-dollar bill went into my pocket. My mother passed away when I was 17 years old and I remember taking out my two-dollar bill. I held it in my hand for the longest time and knew that she would be watching over me the rest of my life.
Each time I felt I had a crisis on my hands, I would reach for my two-dollar bill and set it on the table. I would stare at it for several hours and could always come up with a solution.
When I applied for my first job, I was thirty years old and very shy. The thought of being interviewed for a job was scary but I had to work. On my first interview, as I sat in the waiting room, I noticed there were five women ahead of me. All of the women were younger and very well dressed. One of them looked perfect in her blue striped suit with matching purse and shoes. I knew I was up against women better qualified by looking at the length of their resumes(简历).
