Russell Wilson receives three-word appreciation from wife Ciara after their latest off-field triumph
Russell Wilson is all ready to kick-start another super-hot season with the New York Giants. This weekend, Wilson not only laced up his shoes for practice at the Quest Diagnostic Training Center, but he also brought a sweet family vibe to the camp. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Wilson's wife, Ciara, paid him a surprise visit and had some quality time with the kids. She shared a reel featuring the moments set to the song 'Win' by Jay Rock in her Instagram feed. But their relationship is beyond a flashy on-screen romance. The couple is giving back to society, together, hand in hand, and Ciara's deeply affectionate words carry the chemistry between them. Ciara pens a soft, sweet message for Russell Wilson Russell Wilson, 36, has achieved several milestones in his career. During his tenure with the Seahawks, he equally excelled as a dual threat and a backfield rusher. Although in the middle, he lost his rhythm a little, with the Giants banking on him hard, he is on his way to gaining it back stronger than ever. The Super Bowl winner, as in sync with his accomplishments on the scoreboard, racked up a financial empire worth $165 million. But what made him stand out among all the other millionaires is that he's actively benefiting society. Wilson, over the years, has been committed to uplifting his community through a non-profit organisation, 'WHY NOT YOU'. The foundation works for the underprivileged children, helping them to achieve better health, better education, and overall well-being. But it's not just him engaging with this bigger cause and trying to bring a change in society; Ciara, Wilson's better half, has been another pillar of his foundation since its inception. The power couple just launched the second youth center of this NGO last Tuesday, and guess who couldn't be happier! The Grammy-winning singer was elated, announcing their latest feat via an IG post that reads: ' What an incredible moment launching our Why Not You Center/Dance Hall in partnership with our @WhyNotYouFDN and the @bgcmatl! ' She tagged her husband in the same post with a crisp yet heartfelt note: ' We're doing it!🫶🏽' ' They are, certainly. They are doing their duties beyond the huge stardom and the constant flashes of lights, camera, and action. Also read:

Weight loss coach who dropped 9 kilos shares 5 truths about protein that can help in faster fat loss
Christine Stines, a weight loss coach who successfully transformed her body by shedding 9 kilos, regularly shares insights from her inspiring journey on Instagram. Through her posts, she offers practical diet and workout tips to help others on their path to fitness. On May 7, Christine shared an eye-opening post revealing key truths about protein intake that she discovered during her own weight loss journey. Also read | Cardiologist says too much protein is 'ticking time bomb' for early heart attacks in your 30s and 40s Here's what Christine learnt about protein that changed her weight loss journey.(Shutterstock) 'For years, I thought I was doing it right - eggs for breakfast, salmon on salads and a protein shake after workouts. But even with all that? the scale barely budged. Turns out I wasn't actually getting enough protein. And more importantly, I wasn't getting the right kind,' Christine wrote. Here's what she learnt about protein that changed her weight loss journey. 1. 30 grams of protein per meal is the minimum This is the amount needed to trigger muscle protein synthesis which is critical for building and maintaining muscle. And muscle mass is equal to more metabolism. The more muscle you maintain, the more fat you can burn (even at rest). 2. 30% of your daily calories should come from protein Fewer cravings, better blood sugar control and increased fat loss are some of the benefits that come from protein intake. Because protein is the most satiating macronutrient—and hitting that 30% sweet spot helps regulate hunger, reduce overeating, and keep your metabolism humming.

Protein density matters A lot of women think they're eating enough, but the foods they're choosing aren't actually protein dense. That grilled chicken breast? Great. But the avocado, nut butter, and eggs you're calling protein? Most of them are only 20–40% protein by calories. The rest? Mostly carbs or fat. 4. Food > protein powders and bars Yes, those are convenient, but whole foods are more satisfying and better for blood sugar stability. You don't need to avoid them but be mindful: your body responds differently to a grilled chicken breast than a sweetened protein bar. 5. Protein alone isn't enough If you're over 40, you also need fibre, especially at breakfast. Fibre balances blood sugar, keeps cravings away, and supports hormone health. When you pair protein and fibre, you start your day in fat-burning mode. Also read | Are you consuming too much protein?
