Fasting has become increasingly popular in recent times not only as a religious or spiritual practice but also as one of the latest developments in health and wellness. Intermittent fasting, longer fasts—many of those who try fasting want to achieve various other ends: weight loss, mental clarity, metabolic health, and more. But the big question is, which of these methods works best, or more importantly, are they scientifically supported? Let's discuss the types of fasting, their effectiveness, and what science says about the safety and benefits of fasting. What is fasting? Fasting is a conscious act of abstention from food—and sometimes even drinks—for a certain period. Its origins are clearly rooted in ancient religious practices, but today, health-based approaches to fasting are common. Fasting works on the principle that the body temporarily induces a state of caloric restriction, which might trigger various protective biological responses for health. However, these depend a lo...

People today suffer from stress, anxiety, and other mental disorders as they live in this fast world. On the contrary, in daily pressures, one of the most important tools for mental health development has always been underrated, which is exercise. Regular physical activities have been proved to reduce stress significantly, hence improving mood and ensuring long-term benefits for mental health.

Animal protein versus plant-based protein is one of the hottest debates in the world of nutrition. While there are those who will swear by animal protein as the ultimate source to achieve optimal health and overall muscle building, others seem to argue for a plant-based approach. Much myth has prevailed about animal protein, which has clouded the understanding. This article will help separate fact from fiction and give you an educated choice for your diet. Myth 1: Animal Protein Is the Only Source of Complete Protein The Truth Perhaps the most common myth there is regarding nutrition is that the only sources of complete proteins, meaning those providing all nine essential amino acids, come from animal sources such as meat, eggs, and dairy. While it is true that most plant proteins are incomplete—meaning they lack one or more essential amino acids—it does not necessarily put vegans or vegetarians at a disadvantage in any way. Plant Protein Combinations Can Work You can obtain a complet...

Introduction One of the most highly debated subjects in the field of nutrition is, if a vegan diet provides enough protein for human consumption. Keeping ethical, environmental, and health matters in mind, people are more and more turning to plant-based diets, and with this movement, the debate on the adequacy of vegan protein is brought to the fore. Let us present both the arguments and counterarguments for a clear picture. What Is Protein and Why Is It Important? Protein is a very important macronutrient by which our body repairs muscles, manufactures hormones, and gives support to the immune system to build enzymes. Of these amino acids, nine are considered essential and, therefore, need to be derived from food sources. This is where debate occurs on whether plant-based diets provide all these amino acids in sufficient quantities and if the quality of vegan protein can match that of animal-based protein. Logic: The Case for Vegan Protein Complete Protein Sources in Plants Probably t...
