Can’t Lose Weight Anymore?

5 Reasons You Can’t Lose Weight Anymore, According to Experts (msn.com)

Slide 2 of 6: Even if your current diet helped you lose weight for a while, your body may eventually burn fewer calories due to restriction over time."When we consume less than normal, our body recognizes it is receiving less energy. It responds to this by 'adapting' and burning less energy at rest," explains Kylie Ivanir, RD of Within Nutrition. "People find they need to keep restricting more and more in order to lose any weight." Her recommendation? Increasing muscle mass to boost your basal metabolic rate, which may help kickstart further weight loss.RELATED: For healthy eating tips delivered straight to your inbox, sign up for our newsletter.

Deadly Diseases That Cross Species

11 (sometimes) deadly diseases that hopped across species (msn.com)

Slide 3 of 12: The 1918 influenza pandemic swept the world within months, killing an estimated 50 million people — more than any other illness in recorded history for the short time frame involved. The H1N1 influenza virus that infected more than one-third of the globe had an avian origin. First identified in the United States by military personnel in the spring of 1918, the virus killed an estimated 675,000 Americans, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Unlike some flu strains that mainly kill the elderly and those with compromised immune systems, the 1918 strain hit young adults hardest, as the older population seemed to have some immunity built up from a past H1N1 virus. In one year, the average life expectancy in the United States dropped by 12 years. Another H1N1 virus, this one called (H1N1)pdm09 cropped up in the spring of 2009 and lasted until the next spring, with the CDC estimating some 60.8 million cases and 12,469 deaths in the U.S. Worldwide, the virus killed between 151,700 and 575,400 individuals, the CDC estimates. That virus appears to have originated in pig herds, with a so-called reassortment of influenza viruses — when the viruses swap genetic information — occurring naturally in North American and Eurasian pig herds.

Slide 5 of 12: A range of zoonotic diseases are caused by animal bites. And mosquitoes lead the way: Malaria, which is caused by a parasite and gets transmitted to humans through bites from infected mosquitoes, infected an estimated 228 million people across the globe in 2018, with 405,000 related deaths that year, most of which were in kids in Africa, according to the CDC. Mosquito-borne dengue fever infects some 400 million people annually, with about 100 million of those individuals getting sick from the infection and 22,000 dying from it, the CDC reports. That disease is transmitted through bites from infected mosquitoes in the Aedes genus.

Poem

Make, by MwsR

In making something, using all you are suppose to and mixing it well
Not sure though, if it is heaven or if it is hell.
Traces left behind that will never be used or dissipate,
That is the way it goes through when something is made.
Sometimes no matter how well we follow the directions or read ahead,
The remnants of life/will still stay in our heads.

With ingredients, we choose everything well and as we should,
But life has a way of changing things around.
It surprisingly can come out like nothing we had thought,
Looking different whether we like it or not.

You can proceed with satisfaction
If you don’t expect a perfect situation.
We can choose to learn by it somehow
Or crumble in the process. Wow.
