Fruit Juices- Not As Healthy As You Thought

There has been a long ongoing controversy about whether fruit juices are healthy or not. Most people consider them to be a great option to complete their daily fruit requirement since they are much easier to consume.

Lots of people replace soda and carbonated drinks with fruit juices thinking that they are moving towards an healthier option. There are even detox diets which claim to help you lose weight by just drinking fruit juices. They might help you in the short run but the fact is there is not much difference between a tall glass of fruit juice and a bottle of any carbonated drink minus the fizz.

10 Science Backed Ways To Boost Your Metabolism

Metabolism is often confused with the term metabolic rate in the health and fitness world. Metabolism includes all the chemical reactions that take place in our body which keep us alive and functioning whereas the metabolic rate is the number of calories our body burns even when it is at rest.

Most people who seek out ways to lose weight know that improved metabolism can end their cycle of never-ending diets followed by weight gain. The higher your metabolism the more calories you burn and the easier it is to lose weight and avoid putting it on again. Having a high metabolism not just helps you lose weight but it makes you feel good about your body overall, you are more energetic both mentally and physically. However, the speed of metabolism depends on a variety of factors, including age, sex, body fat, muscle mass, activity level, and genetics. Men tend to burn more calories than women, even while resting. And for most people, metabolism slows steadily after the age of 40. Some estimates suggest that it actually slows down by 5 percent every decade after your 40th birthday.

When it comes to countries, India is the most depressed country in the world, according to the World Health Organisation, followed by China and the USA. India, China, and the US are the most affected countries by anxiety, schizophrenia, and bipolar disorder.

The West has started taking it seriously there are counsellors at schools, colleges, offices, etc. but here in India we still link mental illness with black magic, demonic possessions, etc.
