Flexitarian diet, created by dietician Dawn Jackson Blatner, is a combination of two words; flexible and vegetarian.

Flexitarian Diet: All you need to know about this new diet trend

If you&rsquo;re a meat-lover who is trying to eat more greens, there may be a new plan for you. Flexitarian diet, created by dietician Dawn Jackson Blatner, is a combination of two words; flexible and vegetarian. Simply put, in flexitarianism, you can reap the full benefits of fruits and vegetables with a flexible share of meat as well.
You may be wondering, how is this different from the omnivore diet? Well, in her book &ldquo;The Flexitarian Diet,&rdquo;&nbsp;Blatner has distinguished three different stages. Each of them prescribes some guidelines on how much meat you can eat. This moderation in meat intake is what differentiates it from a regular omnivore diet.&nbsp;&nbsp;
Now, this diet has a couple of basic principles involved. Let&rsquo;s take a look at them:
1) Derive protein from plant-based food instead of meat
2) Incorporate meat at regular intervals
3) Eat fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and legumes
4) Reduce artificial sweeteners
Benefits of the Flexitarian Diet
The Flexitarian Diet may help in reducing your risk of heart disease and type-2 diabetes as it is in line with vegetarianism. A study by National Center for Biotechnology Information said that a vegetarian diet effectively lowers cholesterol in the blood, which is extremely important when suffering from diabetes and heart diseases. But, as a flexitarian diet does not exactly comply with the terms of other plant-based plans, it is difficult to assess its health benefits precisely.&nbsp;

Bee pollen has gained popularity in recent years due to the wide range of health benefits it offers. 

What is Bee Pollen? Benefits of bee pollen that everyone must be aware of

Bee pollen has gained a lot of traction in recent years due to the wide range of health benefits it offers.&nbsp;

Bee pollen: Do bees make pollen with love for us? Or does it only trigger allergies? Find out!

Bee pollen is made of flower pollen, nectar, enzymes, honey, wax and bee secretions. Bees carry this pollen back to their hive in sacs on their&nbsp;hind legs, called&nbsp;pollen baskets.

Made of flower pollen, nectar, enzymes, <a href="https://www.editorji.com/story/is-honey-better-than-antibiotics-for-cough-and-cold-1598286116052" target="_blank">honey</a>, wax and bee secretions, bee pollen can best be described as&nbsp;yellow grainy pellets gathered by foraging bees. The pollen is carried by bees in sacs on their&nbsp;hind legs, called&nbsp;pollen baskets. Generally, the older bees collect the pollen to feed the young ones in the beehive.
Bee pollen offers a range of health benefits to humans as well. To meet the commercial demands, professional beekeepers collect the pollen from the beehives. It is collected using pollen traps which are placed at the entrance of the hive. When the bees enter their hive, the comb-like&nbsp;trap brushes off the pollen from the bee sacs and it falls off. The fallen pollen is then gathered in a container placed below.
Once collected, it is&nbsp;processed and sold commercially for the many health benefits it offers. In fact, the&nbsp;German Federal Board of Health recognises&nbsp;bee pollen as a medicine due to the range of health benefits it possesses. Let&rsquo;s take a look at some of them!
<h3>Relieves inflammation</h3>
In a study published in the National Centre for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) in the US, researchers found that bee pollen extract reduced inflammation in rats with swollen paws. Due to this study, researchers believe that bee pollen may work like anti-inflammatory drugs in humans and help in curing infections and injuries.&nbsp;
Strengthens immunity
Bee pollen has antimicrobial, antifungal, and antiviral properties and could help kill off bacteria and viruses. In the same journal published by NCBI, researchers found that bee pollen naturally restrains allergic reactions in mice, thereby indicating that humans may experience the same effect. However, no study has yet proven its absolute effect on human immunity.
<h3>Rich in antioxidants</h3>
Bee pollen has very high antioxidant properties similar to those of fermented foods. The antioxidants like flavonoids&nbsp;and carotenoids can protect the body cells from damage caused by free radicals. This can thereby prevent chronic diseases like type-2 diabetes and high blood cholesterol.
Bee pollen is generally safe for most humans but if you are allergic to flower pollen, there is a chance that you may be allergic to bee pollen as well. The allergic reactions can cause shortness of breath, hives and swelling. So, it is advisable to consult your doctor before adding it to your diet.

A new American study claims that whole-fat milk is just as healthy for kids as low-fat.

To low-fat or go full fat? Research settles the age-old milk debate

A new study claims that whole-fat milk is just as healthy for kids as low-fat.

A new American study claims that&nbsp;whole-fat milk is just as healthy for kids as low-fat.

Answering a question that has&nbsp;puzzled many parents, new study probes into the&nbsp;nutritional&nbsp;difference&nbsp;between&nbsp;whole and low-fat milk.&nbsp;&nbsp;
Published in the&nbsp;American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, the study claims that&nbsp;whole-fat milk is just as healthy for kids as low-fat. A randomised trial of&nbsp;49 children aged four to six&nbsp;years&nbsp;assessed each child&rsquo;s obesity, body composition, blood pressure, and blood biomarkers. The researchers found that, overall,&nbsp;there was no significant difference observed in both groups&rsquo; cardiovascular health and obesity.

In a media release, the lead author explained that it&nbsp;was earlier&nbsp;believed that young children would benefit from low-fat dairy products due to&nbsp;the&nbsp;lower levels of saturated fats and lower density of energy&nbsp;in them.&nbsp;However, the findings&nbsp;suggest that healthy children may safely consume whole-fat dairy without fear of increased obesity or adverse cardiometabolic effects.&nbsp;
Al in all, parents should feel free to&nbsp;let children consume dairy&nbsp;according to their individual preference, concluded&nbsp;the research.

Not only can it scare Vampires, Garlic has some other superpowers as well!

Garlic may leave a bad odour but is&nbsp;a&nbsp;good source of magnesium, selenium, Vitamin C and Vitamin B6. It is used not just for its flavour&nbsp;but also for its several noteworthy benefits

The bad odour that comes from garlic is a big reason why several people keep it out of their diets. The smell tends to seep into your mouth and might require a round or two of brushing and mouthwash to get rid of.
While these tiny cloves may come with a smell that can linger for hours, they also come with several noteworthy benefits which will go a long way in keeping you healthy. So, forget the pungent odour and focus on the benefits!
Garlic is known to be a good source of magnesium, selenium, calcium, Vitamin C and Vitamin B6. The presence of all these vital vitamins and minerals makes it beneficial for your health.
Garlic has anti-bacterial properties:
Apart from vitamins and minerals, garlic contains&nbsp;allicin, a sulphur-containing compound. This gives it a strong and pungent aroma but also makes it a fantastic antiseptic, antifungal, and antibacterial agent.
Garlic has anti-inflammatory properties:
As per an article by the Cleveland Clinic, garlic oil has anti-inflammatory properties. All you need to do is gently rub it over your sore and inflamed joints or muscles to reap the benefits.
Garlic is good for the heart:
As highlighted in a study by the National Center for Biotechnology Information, US (NCBI) there is literature that suggests that garlic consumption can help attain positive cardiovascular effects. Garlic can help lower blood pressure and reduce serum cholesterol and triglycerides.
Garlic helps get rid of pimples:
Yes, you have heard it right! As per the Cleveland Clinic, rubbing raw garlic over pimples can potentially help get rid of them. However, we do recommend consulting with a dermatologist&nbsp;before trying this remedy.&nbsp;
Knowing all these benefits might make you want to gulp down an entire bulb of garlic, but be wary as an excess of anything is not great. According to a study in the American Family Physician Journal, consuming garlic in excess can lead to flatulence and gastrointestinal issues. It is recommended that you take no more than 1-2 cloves of raw garlic and 7.2 grams of aged garlic extract per day.
