Eating this can decrease your risk of dementia
Low-carb and keto diets can be incredibly helpful in losing weight, but they can often cause you to eat very little of this particular nutrient. While it helps keep many things in your body regular, eating more of this particular carb has now also been shown to reduce your risk of dementia, so eat up!
…EAT 🍪
This single-serve double chocolate protein cookie
Double chocolate. High protein. What could possibly make this tasty treat any better? The fact that it’s single-serve and only requires a microwave to make. Perfect for when you’re craving a sweet treat but don’t want to whip up an entire batch of cookies.
FITNESS FACTS
Fitness Fact of the Week — A 20-year study followed 2,315 Finnish men and revealed that using a sauna 4-7 times per week had a 40% lower risk of death compared to those who used saunas once weekly. Even moderate use (2-3 times per week) showed a 24% reduction in mortality, suggesting that regular sauna bathing may be as powerful as exercise for extending life.
