Hurricane Irma Crashes Across Northern Cuba – The Atlantic

On September 8, Hurricane Irma made landfall on Cuba as a destructive Category 5 storm, slowly spinning along its northern coast for hours, before turning north toward Florida. The high winds tore roofs from buildings, uprooted trees, toppled power lines, and blocked roads across central and northern Cuba. Coastal towns and cities were swamped by storm surge waters, leaving parts of Havana submerged as Irma moved on. More than a million residents and tourists had been evacuated ahead of the storm, as a precaution. As of Sunday night, there were no storm-related deaths reported in Cuba.

How Much Protein Do I Need to Lose Weight? | POPSUGAR Fitness

When you’re on a weight-loss journey, eating adequate protein is essential to your success. According to clinical and holistic dietitian Esther Blum, many of her clients start to shed pounds with ease once they increase the amount of protein in their diet, since high-protein foods take more work to “digest, metabolize, and use, which means you burn more calories processing them.” A longer digestion time also means that you stay fuller longer, unlike the crash-and-burn effect that comes from eating fatty foods and refined carbs.

Beyond giving your metabolism a boost and keeping you satisfied for longer, one study has shown that in addition to a regular exercise routine, doubling your protein intake (as recommended by the RDA) may be the key to losing fat pounds without dropping muscle mass. This is key since muscle burns more calories in the body than fat. In short, if you’re serious about weight loss, you’ve got to take protein seriously.

Too much exercise can lead to cardiac problems, especially for those over 40, heart specialist says – ABC News (Australian Broadcasting Corporation)

The sudden death of Australian Iron man Dean Mercer has left many people asking how does a healthy athlete suffer a sudden cardiac arrest?

Aged 47, Mercer was active and seemed in peak physical fitness for a middle-aged Australian — although his medical history is unknown.

But Sydney cardiologist Dr Ross Walker has warned that too much exercise may not be healthy, especially after the age of 40.

As a heart specialist, Dr Walker is a proponent of preventative cardiology — informing patients how to best reduce activities that put them at risk of a heart attack or cardiac arrest.

He said while exercise was good for anyone, the problem for many was the amount of exercise.

“The dose of exercise for health should be somewhere between three to five hours per week,” he said.

How to Be Healthy Based on Menstrual Cycle | StyleCaster

Aside from making you cranky and crave chocolate, your menstrual cycle causes changes in your body that can affect all aspects of your life. And it’s not just during your period: The entire 28-day cycle represents hormonal shifts that can affect how you sleep, exercise, and the foods your body needs. Instead of letting your cycle control your health, you can use the different phases to your advantage and give your body what it needs on any given day.

Below, check out a primer on the four basic phases of the menstrual cycle, and get tips on how to eat, work out, and snooze better on every day of the month.

16 Ways To Upgrade Your Favorite Costco Foods Into Legit Dinners

While you’re eating samples for lunch, why not grab stuff to make dinner?

This easy chicken bake only takes 30 minutes and three ingredients to make (and because one jar of pesto is 22 ounces, you can make this recipe five times — just freeze the leftovers for later).

This no-bake dinner combines two Costco classics (the rotisserie chicken and the freshly baked croissants) to create something even tastier.

We Asked Experts Whether Washing Raw Chicken Was Legit Or Useless

We talked to the USDA, a germ expert, and a prominent NYC chef.

This was shocking to me, as I had never even considered that store-bought, packaged chicken might need washing. I’ve never done it. (And FWIW, I’ve never had a problem!)

Results were split. Most people said no, but a significant number said yes — they do, indeed, rinse their raw chicken before cooking it.

Dairy-Free High-Protein Breakfast Ideas | POPSUGAR Fitness

Eating breakfast — and definitely not skipping it — is essential for revving up your metabolism if you’ve got weight loss on the mind. What you eat is also important, and no, a breakfast full of carbs like a bowl of cereal or a bagel isn’t the best choice. Getting enough protein is key, and nutritionists Stephanie Clarke, RD, and Willow Jarosh, RD, of C&J Nutrition recommend getting 13 to 20 grams. While Greek yogurt is an easy and popular option, if you’re avoiding dairy, try these recipes.

Substituting Beans for Beef Would Help the U.S. Meet Climate Goals – The Atlantic

Helen Harwatt is a researcher trained in environmental nutrition, a field focused on developing food systems that balance human health and sustainability. She’s interested in policy, but realistic about how much progress can be expected under the aforementioned leadership. So she and colleagues have done research on maximizing the impacts of individuals. As with so many things in life and health, that tends to come down to food.

Recently Harwatt and a team of scientists from Oregon State University, Bard College, and Loma Linda University calculated just what would happen if every American made one dietary change: substituting beans for beef. They found that if everyone were willing and able to do that—hypothetically—the U.S. could still come close to meeting its 2020 greenhouse-gas emission goals, pledged by President Barack Obama in 2009.

That is, even if nothing about our energy infrastructure or transportation system changed—and even if people kept eating chicken and pork and eggs and cheese—this one dietary change could achieve somewhere between 46 and 74 percent of the reductions needed to meet the target.

Mom reveals she used breast milk to make brownies | Daily Mail Online

An anonymous mother revealed on Facebook that she used her breast milk to make brownies that were sold at a school bake sale – and she can’t figure out why another mom is disgusted by her actions.

The mother reportedly took to social media to ask advice on how she should deal with an understandably angry mom who found out about the unexpected addition to her brownie recipe. A screenshot of her bizarre message was shared on the Facebook page Sanctimommy earlier this week, with the woman’s name and location scribbled out.

‘I need some advice. I made brownies for my school bake sale that had breast milk in them,’ the post reads.
