So, here are 7 ways you can burn fat 24/7. 7 ways to burn fat 24/7 In a July 28 Instagram post shared by fitness trainer Necach Marson, he talked about 7 things that can help you burn fat 27/7 that don't involve you running or walking on a treadmill. Sharing the 7 lifestyle changes, he wrote, 'Want to burn fat 24/7? Not just when you're on the treadmill? Here's what actually moves the needle.' Here are the 7 things the coach suggested: 1. Sleep 7-9 hours nightly Poor sleep tanks metabolism by 20-30 percent and spikes fat-storing hormones. Recovery means results, the fitness coach pointed out. 2. Walk 8k+ steps daily Low-intensity walking oxidises fat without stressing your body or breaking down muscle. 3. Lift weights 3-4 times per week Building muscles burns calories even at rest, giving you a true metabolic advantage. 4. Eat protein with every meal 30 percent of calories in protein are burned during digestion. It's a natural fat burner. 5. Drink water before meals Drinking water before meals boosts metabolism by 30 percent and curbs overeating without even trying. 6. Eat in a 10-hour window When you divide your meals into a 10-hour window, you have better insulin sensitivity, which leads to better fat oxidation and energy balance. 7. Take cold showers Taking cold showers activates brown fat and boosts calorie burn for hours after. Lastly, the fitness coach shared a reality check: if you include these 7 habits in your daily schedule, 'Running only burns calories while you're doing it. These habits turn your body into a fat-burning machine all day long.' Note to readers: This article is for informational purposes only and not a substitute for professional medical advice.

Shaving vs waxing: Which is better for your skin?
(Image Credits: Pinterest) Every woman, once in her lifetime, has experienced the pain of waxing or the wrath of ingrown hairs after shaving her hands, legs, and underarms to gain a smooth and hairless finish. But the question each time after the process is, which is the best option? Many ask this question when looking for the best method to remove body hair. From the effect on the skin, wallet, and schedule, let's see which of the two is a better choice for your skin. But let's start with understanding the difference between shaving and waxing. Shaving involves trimming the hair right from the skin level, so the root remains intact, and the hair just grows a little bit for it to break through the skin again, which takes around a few days or a week. On the other hand, waxing pulls your hair out from the root, taking longer to regrow. With waxing, you likely won't see any growth for at least a week and even longer, depending on the growth of your hair cells. Secrets to anti-ageing: 7 simple daily habits that give us healthy skin So, let's get down to the root of the issue and see which is better for your skin in the long term. What are the benefits of shaving ? Shaving is relatively convenient, as all you need is a sharp razor, shaving cream, shaving cleanser, and water. It is accessible, as you can get a good-quality razor under Rs 500, which can be used at least 5 times before replacement. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like The 5 Books Warren Buffett Recommends You To Read in 2025 Blinkist: Warren Buffett's Reading List Undo In some settings, you can simply replace the blades and use your old ones like a brand new set. (Image Credits: Pinterest) Downsides of shaving While shaving helps you achieve a sleek and smooth look instantly, it leads to skin irritation and an ingrown hair issue, which can be a nuisance for sensitive skin. It is also a time-consuming process and depends on your desired look, which can be a hassle. However, it is only a temporary solution, as the hair eventually grows back in a week with the same thickness, which is a hassle for you. So, to have a clean look with shaving at all times, you need to keep up with a weekly routine. Benefits of bikini waxing: Why it's better than shaving? What are the benefits of waxing ? When you wax consistently, your hair will likely grow back finer and sparser over time, making the hair removal sessions more swift and easy. Waxing can be less aggravating for your skin than shaving, as razor burns lead to ingrown hair. This process is always done by a professional, ensuring that the possible results can be gained with minimal effort. Plus, these professionals are also able to reach areas of your body where you cannot physically act on. Waxing itself is an exfoliation process that removes dead skin cells, tanning, and clogged pores and helps you reveal brighter and glowing skin. While waxing can be more expensive than shaving, it is considerably cheaper than laser hair removal, where the regrowth process is also much slower than shaving. The hair removal lasts anywhere from 2 to 4 weeks, making the amount charged worth it. It depends on which type of wax you're choosing, which mainly starts from Rs 600 and can go to around Rs 1200 or more. (Image Credits: Pinterest) Downsides of waxing Like shaving, your skin can become inflamed, causing redness for some time, which can be dealt with by waxing aftercare. This includes the application of aloe vera gel or oil, which makes the redness fade away in an hour. Also, the process can take some time, as a full body waxing session can easily take up to 1.5 hours or sometimes 2 hours before you can see the full results. Final verdict! Waxing or shaving - which is better for my skin? This answer depends on the person's unique skin type, but generally, people suggest waxing services in order to ditch ingrown hair, cuts and scrapes, and the rigorous process every week. The biggest benefits waxing can give you are the removal of tan, exfoliation, and unclogging the pores, which come with the process. It also boosts skin cell regrowth and leads to overall collagen production. Thus, to get away from every week's hair removal process of shaving, waxing makes your skin feel smoother, hydrated, radiant, and healthier.

Health coach calls lists the worst breakfast options for hormonal health: Is your Sunday brekkie on this list?
'Your breakfast might feel light and healthy, but it could be messing with your hormones," says Mankirat Kaur, a health coach in a recent Instagram post. Indians overall do not pay much heed to beginning the day on a healthy note with a balanced breakfast. It should have protein, carbs, and also some good fats, instead, we end up choosing the regular old poha or the plain butter toast. It does not give any nutrition and only adds on the bad calories. Poha is among the worst breakfast options for your overall health (Pexels). Mankirat, therefore, listed a few usual suspects when it comes to bad breakfast options for your hormonal health and what to replace them with. Check it out: Cereals with milk Packed with sugar & low in protein, leading to insulin spikes & energy crashes. Better option: Swap for homemade granola with nuts/seeds + Greek yogurt for better blood sugar control. Coffee/tea with biscuits No real nutrition, just empty carbs that leave you hungry & craving more sugar. Better option: Have coffee/tea after a balanced meal, and replace biscuits with a handful of nuts or an egg. Sandwich Refined bread + processed fillings = blood sugar spikes & inflammation. Better option: Use whole grain/millet bread, add a protein like eggs/paneer, and load up on fiber-rich veggies. Upma/Poha While these seem healthy, they're mostly just carbs, which can lead to quick hunger spikes. Better option: 50% of it should have veggies , with 60% portion of upma/poha, and pair it with a protein source like paneer, sprouts, or curd for better satiety. Fruit juice + toast Sounds light, right? But it's just a sugar bomb. No protein, no fiber = insulin spike + zero satiety. Better option: Eat a whole fruit instead (fiber!) + pair it with nut butter toast or eggs for protein. Instant oats (flavored ones) Loaded with hidden sugars and very low in fiber or protein. Causes sugar crashes and cravings mid-morning. Better option: Make plain rolled oats, add chia seeds, nut butter, and some fruit for balanced nutrition. Only fruits for breakfast Not enough to fuel your body. Just carbs = quick hunger and mood swings. Better option: Pair your fruit with some protein like Greek yogurt, boiled eggs, or cottage cheese. 'Breakfast sets the tone for your hormones & energy all day! Prioritize protein, fiber & healthy fats to keep your metabolism, hormones, and energy levels in check,' she ended her post.
