🧵Losing weight easily and sustainably isn't as complicated as some of the threads here are making it seem🙄

This is literally the easiest and ZERO COST way to lose weight. (thread)
The crux is to consume fewer calories than you usually do.

It’s easy to cut out 500 calories a day in a sustainable manner and this will lead to losing roughly 1/2 kilo a week or 2 kilos a month. 🔻
If you are able to burn additional calories in a day by walking, exercising, dancing or playing a sport, that will be an added bonus. 💃🏸

Did you know that nature made a thick cushion for pomelos for a reason?

Pomelo is a heavy fruit growing on trees nearly 30ft tall. These fruits sometimes fall to the ground but suffer zero breakage or damage. One of the reasons is their cushion-like skin.
The other, more important reason is the distribution of pores through the skin of the pomelo—more compact pores near the flesh and the outer surface, and more spaced-out pores in the middle.
This distribution of pores seems to provide the best kind of shock absorption, and even inspired the design of a 3D model foam by Daniel McAdams and his team at Texas A&M University, useful in a range of applications, from packaging to vehicle collision.

🧵Thread: There's eternal confusion on what oil to use for deep frying and the use cases for cold-pressed and refined oils. The following tweets will give you clarity on this matter. #nutrition
1. Choosing the right oil is crucial for deep frying - smoke point, flavour, and cost are key.

At the smoke point, oils begin to break down and produce smoke, releasing harmful compounds and altering flavour.
2. Cold-pressed oils have a lower smoke point than refined, making them less suitable for deep frying at high heat. Plus it makes no sense to throw good money on cold-pressed oil only to heat it to 190-220C.

🧵Here are 5 basic dietary changes that will drastically improve the blood sugar and insulin profile of diabetics and prediabetics. #WorldDiabetesDay
1. Ditch low-fat or fat-free processed versions of foods. Go for full-fat milk, yoghurt, cheese, coconut milk etc. Fat prevents sugar spikes and offers satiety.
Nature made it that way for a reason.

#WorldDiabetesDay2022
2. Choose grains over flour whenever possible. The smaller the particle size of a grain or flour, the faster it gets broken down to release glucose in the bloodstream. The logic is the same as choosing fruit over fruit juice.
