Need an excuse to add more chocolate to your life? The next time somebody calls you out on indulging on 🍫, tell them that you’re protecting your heart by consuming flavanols, polyphenols, catechins, and antioxidants so potent that they put blueberries to shame.

It’s long been thought that the appendix is useless. However, in 2007, researchers found evidence that the appendix may play a role in protecting healthy bacteria in your gut. It’s thought that these bacteria can use your appendix as a safe house when you’re infected with a viral or bacterial infection. Once the infection passes, the healthy bacteria re-enter you intestines and repopulate your gut. Photo retrieved from Pexels.com via @daria.shevtsova

Creatine monohydrate is a supplement best known for its ability to help athletes gain strength and muscle mass. It’s one of the most researched athletic supplements available, and annual sales surpass $400 million in the USA every year. However, research suggests that creatine’s benefits may not be limited to your body. Taking a creatine monohydrate supplement may increase cognitive performance in some populations.

The side plank is a great exercise to target the muscles that laterally stabilize your spine including your QL muscle. The QL, or quadratus lumborum, originates on your hip bone and inserts on your spine and bottom ribs.
The key points to keep in mind during the side plank are the following: 1. Keep your head neutral with the rest of your spine. 2. Keep your hips stacked. 3. Don't sag your hips.

If you love sushi as much as I do, you've probably overdone it at least once. I can remember a few occasions where I ate so much that I had to roll out of the restaurant. Here are three tips about how to include sushi in your diet without going off the rails:

1. Avoid Buffets: Just because you CAN eat all you want doesn't mean you should. The temptation of 'getting your money's worth' is too much for most of us to stop after a reasonable number of California rolls.
2. Try Sashimi: Sashimi means raw pieces of fish or meat. Unlike traditional sushi rolls, sashimi doesn't come with rice, which can save you about 40g of carbs per roll.
3. Avoid Rolls with Sauces: Sticking rolls that are made from vegetables, fish, seaweed, and rice, you can drastically reduce your sugar intake. Not only will this save you calories, but you'll also reduce the post-meal insulin spike that causes drowsiness.

The dead bug is one of my favourite exercises. You can use it to active your core before a workout or add it to a core circuit. This exercise teaches you to move at the shoulder and hip without shifting your back. To make the deadbug exercise harder, slow down your movements so that the lowering portion takes 4 seconds. You can also hold a weight in each hand (or pass a med ball from hand to hand) to increase the difficulty.
The key points to keep in mind are as follows: 1. Keep your lower back in contact with the ground throughout the movement. 2. Extend your opposite leg with your opposite arm. 3. Time your arm and leg descent so that they reach end range at the same time.

Should you be calorie counting?

PROS:
- Allows for measurable progress
- Useful for planning weekly groceries
- May help motivate you to stick to your diet
CONS:
- Hard to be 'honest' with everything you eat
- Can be disruptive to your social life
- Can become an obsessive habit

Whether you should calorie count depends largely on where you are in your fitness journey. If you’re overweight, you'll benefit more from fixing your bad habits than tracking all your calories. What high-sugar foods you can exchange with healthier alternatives? Do you sweeten your coffee? Liquid calories can add up quick!

If you’re already close to your ideal body, counting calories may help you shred those last few pounds by providing your diet with more structure. Most of us don’t think about how many calories we take in mindlessly snacking until start adding them up. FatSecret and @MyFitnessPal both offer apps to help you quickly keep track of your calories.

You may have walked by this fruit a thousand times at the grocery store but never actually put one in your shopping car. The dragonfruit is native to Mexico and Central America. The inside of the fruit is usually white with black seeds, but some varieties are red on the inside.
Dragon fruit contain several types of healthy antioxidants.
1. Betalains protect your body against LDL “bad” cholestrol.
2. Hydrocinnamates may have anticancer activity (according to animal studies). 3. Flavonoids support brain health and reduce your risk of heart disease.
