Christina Aguilera fans hardly recognise star as she debuts new look and 'ages backwards'
Pop star Christina Aguilera has been flooded with compliments as she looked just like she did when she shot to fame 25 years ago as fans says she is aging backwards Christina Aguilera has surprised her fans with her new appearance as they say she is aging backwards. The pop star, 44, showed off her new style as she took part in a photoshoot. She appeared to reference her early career as she rocked a dark smokey eye while rocking a gold mini dress. Christina's blonde locks were backcombed and tousled as she held them up in her hands. The Lady Marmalade hitmaker shared a behind the scenes look at the shoot, which showed her styling many different looks. She wrote: "work & play," alongside the post as she gave fans a tease at the upcoming photos. Her followers were quick to compliment the star, with many referencing how she appears to not have aged a day. One said: "Oh she's a MODEL, she looks like Christina Aguilera 1999." Another added: "HOW IS SHE BENJAMIN BUTTONING? I've always been such a huge Christina fan and it's been so nice to see her look so happy, healthy and THRIVING lately and this shoot is SO GORGEOUS." Someone else commented: Queen looking freshhh." A fourth wrote: "Queen aged so well." Another gushed: "Flawless, ageless, eternal Queen." Christina has long been open about her body image as a public figure. During the pandemic, she dropped 40 pounds (18 kgs) through a combination of diet, exercise and lifestyle changes. However, the Genie in a Bottle singer revealed she has not always been as body-confident as she is today. In 2021, the five-time Grammy winner opened up about the pressures she felt about her appearance during the 90s. Speaking to Health Magazine, she admitted: 'I have a hard time looking at the early pictures of myself because I remember feeling so insecure.' Christina heartbreakingly confessed that she really struggled with body image throughout her twenties. She said: "I would never want to relive my 20s — you're so in your own head and finding your confidence.' Last year, Christina had unwanted attention as she was accused of using weight loss drugs. She was at workout studio Barry's Bootcamp in West Hollywood to celebrate the 25th anniversary of her self-titled debut album. The mother-of-two rocked a black bodysuit with thigh-high boots for the event, and her appearance was filmed and shared on social media, prompting an outpouring of messages from her fans. It left Christina issuing a statement where she said her recent weight loss had nothing to do with focusing on 'being skinny'. She said her mental health had been impacted due to being targeted for her petite frame when she burst onto the music scene 25 years ago. 'When you're a teenager, you have a very different body than when you're in your 20s. I started to fill out, and then that was unacceptable because it was like, 'Oh, she's getting thicker.' "Then I had industry people: 'They liked your body and how you were as a skinny teenager',' Christina shared.

6 Benefits of Consuming Apple Cider Vinegar Before Bed - Jordan News
6 Benefits of Consuming Apple Cider Vinegar Before Bed The benefits of using apple cider vinegar at night, or specifically before bedtime, are more based on personal experiences rather than extensive research, although there are some limited studies. Some people claim that apple cider vinegar promotes sleep, along with other health benefits. اضافة اعلان According to Health Magazine, it is recommended to consume apple cider vinegar 2-3 hours before bedtime, taking one or two tablespoons diluted in water. Blood Sugar Control A small study looked into the effects of apple cider vinegar on adults with type 2 diabetes. It was observed that participants who consumed apple cider vinegar with a serving of cheese (28 grams) before bed had a greater reduction in fasting blood sugar compared to those who had water and cheese. A recent review found that apple cider vinegar led to a significant decrease in fasting blood sugar and hemoglobin A1c levels. The more apple cider vinegar they consumed, the better the results. Cholesterol A research review found that apple cider vinegar might help lower total cholesterol levels. The review didn't specify whether consuming it at night played a role in these effects. However, researchers suggested that regular consumption over time may be key to achieving cholesterol benefits. Weight Management A recent study found that participants experienced significant reductions in body weight, waist and hip circumference, and body fat percentage with regular apple cider vinegar consumption. If you tend to have your last meal or snack earlier in the day and feel hungry at night, it might make sense to consume apple cider vinegar at that time, as it's best taken on an empty stomach. Reduces Nighttime Appetite The aforementioned study also found that consuming apple cider vinegar before meals may help reduce appetite and increase feelings of fullness. Consuming it in the evening could help curb nighttime cravings. Gut Health In an experiment examining the impact of diet on gut and immune system health in young adults, participants followed two diets for 3 weeks—one rich in short-chain fatty acids and the other low in them. The high short-chain fatty acid diet included a drink containing apple cider vinegar after meals. Those on the high short-chain fatty acid diet had more short-chain fatty acids in their stool and blood, along with reduced ammonia levels, suggesting improved gut fermentation and health. Antibacterial Properties A study found that apple cider vinegar helped stop the growth of two harmful bacteria: Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and Escherichia coli (E. coli).
