1. Light Cardio workout
Low-intensity cardio workouts are exercises that last 30-60 minutes and are done at the same pace. Before, it was believed that only high-intensity workouts could burn fat. But in 2018, light cardio workouts are becoming more and more popular: riding a bike at a slow speed, walking, yoga, and swimming are the most popular.
Light cardio workouts help:
reduce weight and the risk of having a heart condition;
fix the health of people who have pre-diabetes (walking 11 miles per week);
lose more weight and build more muscle tha you would if you had more intensive workouts
2. Golden Milk
Golden milk, lattes, ice cream, and tea are becoming more and more popular. Turmeric gives these drinks and foods a golden shade: it’s sold in bags and added to cocktails and bottles of milk. In order to make sure that turmeric is digested well, you need to add black pepper: it increases its effect by 20 times.
Turmeric has a great effect on your health because of the following reasons:
it protects neurons from destruction and prevents brain problems;
it prevents rheumatoid arthritis;
it can be a cardioprotector thanks to its antioxidants;
it helps with depression symptoms better than any medication.
3 . Organic Wine
Grapes are on the list of the dirtiest berries: 96% of the product contains a trace of pesticides. Organic wine is produced from grapes grown without pesticides. It contains the valuable antioxidant resveratrol and the drink does no harm to your health.
A buyer of organic wine gets:
a product made from grapes grown in a natural way;
a very small amount of sulfites — potential allergens;
a certified product — USDA mark for the American products and EU Organic for the European ones.
4 . Adaptogens
Adaptogens are mushrooms and herbs that help reduce stress: rosemary, goji berries, a chaga mushroom (added to coffee and tea), spirulina, ginger, and ginseng. They were used in Chinese and Ayurvedic medicine and their useful properties have been proven by science.
Adaptogens help:
stay concentrated and focused when we are tired;
reduce the consequences of stress to a minimum;
increase our efficiency and improve our mood.
5 . Impossible Burger
Impossible Burger is the name of the product created by Impossible Foods from Silicon Valley. Doctors, scientists, engineers, and chefs work for this company.
Impossible Burger looks, smells, and tastes just like a regular burger with meat. But there is no meat inside. Instead, the burger patty consists of a vegetable product made of potato protein, soy, coconut oil, and wheat. It doesn’t contain any cholesterol.
This is what the production of Impossible Burgers looks like:
