Drinking half your body weight (in kilograms) in millilitres of water every day helps keep you hydrated, reduces unnecessary hunger pangs, and supports a healthy metabolism.
Consuming at least 1.2 grams of protein per kilogram of body weight is essential for preserving muscle mass, staying full longer, and curbing cravings throughout the day.
Starting your day with a healthy fat source like nuts, eggs, or avocado can stabilise blood sugar levels, sustain your energy, and prevent energy crashes later in the morning.
Getting 30 minutes of sunlight exposure daily boosts your Vitamin D levels, lifts your mood, and helps regulate your body's natural sleep-wake cycle.
Aiming for at least 8,000 steps a day can significantly boost your calorie burn, support cardiovascular health, and keep you active without intense workouts.
Avoid eating after dinner to prevent late-night snacking, give your digestive system time to rest, and reduce the likelihood of fat storage while sleeping.
Eliminating mindless or unplanned snacking helps you control calorie intake and stick to structured meals, making your diet more effective.
Maintain a healthy balance by eating clean 80% of the time and allowing 20% for occasional indulgences. This approach is realistic, enjoyable, and easier to sustain long-term.

‘The Boys' star Erin Moriarty says she was diagnosed with ‘Graves' disease, asks fans to ‘go get checked'
American actor Erin Moriarty has revealed that she was diagnosed with Graves disease in May 2025. 'The Boys' star Erin Moriarty, in a post on Instagram on Friday, shared her health update, where she opened up about the diagnosis. 'Autoimmune disease manifests differently in everybody/every body,' the Catching Dust actor wrote in the Instagram post. 'Your experience will be different from mine. My experience will be different from yours. Perhaps greatly, perhaps minutely,' she said. 'One thing I can say: if I hadn't chalked it all up to stress and fatigue, I would've caught this sooner. A month ago, I was diagnosed with Graves' disease,' the actor further stated. According to the American Thyroid Association, 'Graves' disease is an autoimmune disease that leads to a generalized overactivity of the entire thyroid gland (hyperthyroidism). It is the most common cause of hyperthyroidism in the United States. The disease was named after Robert Graves, an Irish physician, who described this form of hyperthyroidism about 150 years ago. It is 7-8 times more common in women than men. In the Instagram post, Moriarty went on to claim that 'within 24 hours' of starting treatment, she felt 'the light coming back on' and has only been getting better. 'It's been increasing in strength ever since,' she added. 'If yours is dimming, even slightly, go get checked. Don't 'suck it up' and transcend suffering; you deserve to be comfy. Shit's hard enough as is,' Moriarty said. Live Events The actor has been a part of all five seasons of 'The Boys' as Annie January, aka Starlight, a light-powered superheroine and a member of Billy Butcher's titular corruption-fighting supergroup.

Taylor Swift surprises children at Florida hospital after Stanley Cup Finals, praised for kindness by chief of surgery
Pop sensation Taylor Swift made a surprise visit to the Joe DiMaggio Children's Hospital in Florida on Friday, 13 June, bringing smiles to young patients and hospital staff alike. The visit came just a day after Swift was spotted attending Game 4 of the Stanley Cup Finals with her boyfriend, NFL star Travis Kelce. The couple watched the Edmonton Oilers defeat the Florida Panthers 5-4, but Swift's attention quickly shifted to a more heartfelt cause the next day. Wearing a sage green dress, Taylor Swift was seen walking through the hospital corridors, stopping to greet patients and speak with staff members. Videos and photos shared on social media captured the singer chatting warmly and posing for photos in patients' rooms. In one clip, she can be heard telling hospital workers, 'This has been such an amazing day.' Dr Jill Whitehouse, chief of surgery at the hospital, posted a photo of herself with the pop star on Instagram. 'Chief of Surgery meets Chief of the World!' she wrote, adding, 'Undeniably one of the kindest human beings I have ever had the privilege of meeting.' The hospital's official Instagram handle also shared pictures from Swift's visit with the caption, 'You made this a day we'll never shake off. Thank you, @taylorswift for bringing your support and kindness to Joe DiMaggio Children's Hospital. You turned hospital hallways into a place of joy, comfort, and connection (sic).' Swift's visit was unannounced, making the experience even more memorable for those in the hospital. Her reputation for making such thoughtful visits continues to grow. In December last year, she made a similar stop at Children's Mercy Hospital in Kansas City just a day before her birthday. Currently, Swift is said to be staying in Florida while Kelce trains with the Kansas City Chiefs during their off-season camp. Fans and families online have praised Swift not just for her music but for her continued acts of kindness, especially towards children facing serious health challenges. Her latest hospital visit has only deepened admiration for the star's generosity and grace.
