The recent study published in Current Developments in Nutrition acted as a follow-up to a 2019 study that associated green tea consumption with lower obesity, health risks, and improved gut health when tested on rats. In the new study, researchers evaluated the gut health of 40 participants (half with metabolic syndrome, half reported as healthy) after consuming the tea extracts for 28 days. After the 28 days, the participants then took a placebo in order to evaluate the differences. During the month of green tea consumption, researchers reported lower blood sugar levels for all participants, as well as decreased gut inflammation. They came to this conclusion after finding a reduction of pro-inflammatory proteins in fecal samples and a reduction of sugar ratios in urine.

Awww, how adorable! These hamsters are just the cutest, and we’re so glad they were given a little treat for Pancake Day. While Mr. Liquorice was a bit more hesitant to chow down on his stack, Mr. Marshmallow devoured his!

You often hear that a speedy “metabolism” is a major key to making you leaner…but what exactly is your metabolism? The Cleveland Clinic defines “metabolism” as the chemical processes that take place as your body converts foods and drinks into energy. Even when you’re at rest, your metabolism is always working by helping you digest food, manage hormone levels, and regulate body temperature, among other important functions. To make sure this process is in healthy working order, there are certain foods you can eat to boost your metabolism.

I saw you this morning, well the used to be
I wondered if you remembered back then
You looked so peaceful, so youthful, and intact
I remembered how much I wanted you back.
What happened to you?
Where did you go?
I miss the first you so.
Since you are me, you know.
Funny how time changes things
Changes the inner and shows on the outer
I still feel the times my heart was shattered.
I lost you somewhere between worries and so sorry
You left without any notice, in such a hurry.
People stood by but not by you
You found yourself as the only one who knew.
Stories out of the mouth of your caregivers,
Were all lies and lines from their distorted truths
Truths that barely have any in them.
Pain became the plot.
You really missed out on a lot.
The simply being a kid,
Carefree and happy, encouraged and loved
Cherished and respected
Instead overlooked and under cherished.
I remember how much I wanted you back
What happened to you?
Where did you go?
I really miss the “first” you, so!
