"Drink 8 glasses of water a day" is one of those bits of wisdom that everyone knows but no one seems to know why eight is the magic number. "Eight glasses a day" is like "finish your broccoli," advice we've heard from our parents since we were kids and still mostly ignore. But there's good reason to listen up: 70-75% of an adult's body weight comes from water, according to the Institute of Medicine (IOM). So, it's pretty obvious how important water is to a healthy body. But why 8 ounces 8 times a day? And what does…

Raise your hand if pandemic life means more coffee and less sleep. We've got both hands up in the air. While there are some solid benefits of drinking coffee—it may reduce your risk of chronic diseases, improve your workout performance, and help you lose weight, to name a few—too much coffee can wreak havoc on your body. So how much coffee is too much? "Everyone's caffeine tolerance is different, so I would recommend monitoring your individual symptoms associated with coffee intake," says Annamaria Louloudis, MS, RDN,…

Some people look forward to their morning cup of coffee, while others prefer a cup of green tea for a more gentle boost of energy. There are pros and cons to each. With coffee, you have an array of roasts and types of beans to choose from, as well as, myriad methods you can employ to make the perfect cup. For example, do you prefer a pour-over coffee or an espresso? However, the downside of coffee is that it could cause some gastrointestinal discomfort. It may also cause you to become too jittery.

A long, long time ago, a completely wrong-headed idea started being passed around America's dinner tables: Eating fat makes you fat. Well, it's time to erase that from your mind as it's simply wrong. Eating fat won't make you gain weight, any more than eating money will make you rich. Consuming foods that are high in calories can lead you to pack on the pounds, and most "low-fat" or "fat-free" foods actually have just as many calories as their full-fat versions, because of added sugar and chemicals. And there's no debate…

Morocco was officially qualified after a draw between Burundi and the Central African Republic (2-2) and was content with a draw in Mauritania (0-0) for the 5th day in the qualifiers in Group E. It is a result that does not necessarily suit Mauritania who no longer has his fate in hand for a qualification for CAN 2021. More than 16 months later, the return match looks strange to the first stage (0-0). Between Moroccans and Mauritanians there were no winners, no goals. And above all, a little spectacle, so to speak. In the…

A commission that spent almost two years exposing France's role in the 1994 Rwandan genocide concluded that Friday reacted too slowly to estimate the scale of the terror, which left more than 800,000 dead, but cleared the country of involvement in the massacre. The report said France was carrying "heavy and overwhelming responsibility" in the operation that led to the killings, which mainly claimed victims of Rwanda's ethnic minority in Tutsi. Persistent claims that France under then-President Francois…

Before we explain why you should not do any training movements, there is one thing we need to get out of the way first: When you perform any form of training, both your level of benefit as an athlete and the right form are most important. "After all, there is really no such thing as exercise movements that harm your body," says Eni Kadar, PT, DPT, CAC. DN, an orthopedic physiotherapist based in Florida. "Only bodies that are not ready for the forces apply to…

Modeling may seem like a plum gig, but the job requires a lot more effort than most people would expect. In addition to long shots and walking on the runway in high heels, it is a full-time job for most models to stay in shape - just ask Kaia Gerber. March 25, Gerber's coach, Kirk Myers, published a series of videos with the model that works, and they are nothing short of strenuous. In the first video, Gerber and her friend, Bachelor competitor Kit Keenan,…
