VITAMIN D is an essential nutrient that is necessary for the growth and development of bones and teeth. It is a fat-soluble vitamin in the family of compounds that includes vitamins D1, D2 and D3. The body produces vitamin D when it is directly exposed to sunlight, the natural source of vitamin D. Apart from this, the body can attain the daily requirements of this nutrient by adding healthy foods to its diet that are an abundant source of vitamin D.

Also referred to as ‘calciferol’, vitamin D is known for its bone-building and strengthening powers. It also helps in regulating the calcium and phosphorus levels in the body and maintaining proper bone structure. Here are some vital reasons why you should add vitamin D-rich foods to your regular diet regime.

Imagine running as fast as you can, carrying several unwieldy objects. You’re exhausted, but you have to keep going and not drop anything. Suddenly, a brick wall appears. You slam straight into it, dropping everything and crashing to the ground.

The unwieldy running is a metaphor for life in my thirties: rushing from dropping off the kids to a full-time job, desperate to be a good friend, daughter, wife, mother and colleague. In 2021, aged 40, I was diagnosed with breast cancer. That was the brick wall.

My diagnosis of stage-three, grade-three, triple-negative breast cancer required five months of chemotherapy to shrink the tumours before I could then have surgery to remove my breast and lymph nodes from under my right arm (where they also found cancer). It was followed by 15 rounds of radiotherapy and, to cap it off, a further six months of adjuvant chemo.

The actress is known for her gorgeous physique, but looking like that takes work. We explore Madelyn Cline’s workout routine and diet after she opened up about her previous struggle with exercise.

Many teens struggle with their appearance, especially since the surge in social media in the last decade. Not immune to it, celebrities are often open about tabloids and the judgment they receive and how it affects them.

One of which is Madelyn Cline, who has been open about her turbulent relationship with exercise and diet as a teen.

Now with a much healthier relationship, she’s revealed her workout routine, as well as her cravings for a specific take-out.

Unfortunately, body image issues are quite common, especially in young women. But the more health is discussed, the more something can be done to address the problems that

For many of us summers can be a time for discomfort and unease. With temperatures rising to unbearable levels, it’s essential to keep your body cool and comfortable. While turning up the air conditioning or taking a dip in the pool might provide temporary relief, your diet can be a powerful tool to regulate your body temperature during summers. Here are seven reasons why your diet can play a crucial role in keeping you cool and comfortable during the hottest months of the year.

Hydration Is Key

Drinking plenty of water is essential for regulating body temperature during the summer. When you’re dehydrated, your body struggles to regulate its temperature, leading to discomfort and even heat exhaustion. Keep a water bottle with you at all times and sip on it regularly throughout the day. You can also consume water-rich foods like watermelon, cucumber, and celery to help stay hydrated.

Strengthening your shoulders is a great way to shake up your workout routine. This often-overlooked area plays a crucial role in your upper body, but can end up shrugged off in favor of ab or core workouts instead.

But whether you’re carrying grocery bags, moving furniture, or plucking an item off the top shelf at the supermarket, your shoulders are involved, so it pays to have a strong and healthy set.

Fortunately, you don’t need loads of expensive equipment to achieve this. With just a couple of dumbbells (or adjustable dumbbells, if you have them), you can develop more robust shoulders with this workout from Sweat app trainer Britany Williams.

There are five upper body exercises, and the aim is to do up to 10 repetitions of each, resting for 30-60 seconds before taking on the next move. Repeat the five-move

MCU fans rejoiced earlier this year when news broke that not only would Ryan Reynolds be returning for a third Deadpool film, he’d be joined by Hugh Jackman’s previously retired Wolverine. The upcoming Deadpool 3 will reportedly see both characters catapulted into the main Marvel cinematic continuity via some multiverse shenanigans. All in all, it sounds pretty great.

But you don’t need to be a comic nerd to appreciate the pairing. Both Jackman and Reynolds are notoriously stacked making their inevitable muscle-bound face-off the most exciting gym-bro film since The Expendables.

It’s thanks to celebrity coach and fitness entrepreneur (and now Lumen ambassador) Don Saladino that Ryan Reynolds has been able to put the ‘super’ in superhero. Ironically enough, they were first introduced 14 years ago through Jackman, and have worked together on numerous projects ever since.

“We just hit it off, we had very similar fitness goals and

Did you know you only need seven minutes to boost your fitness and strengthen muscles? Of course, a one-off workout won’t transform your mind or body, but if done regularly, you could certainly witness brilliant results.

According to the WHO guidelines, we should all be clocking up at least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity activity or 75 minutes of vigorous-intensity exercise per week. That could be anything from a long walk to HIIT, circuit training or strength programs, done several times a week and however you choose.

At Tom’s Guide, we designed this seven-minute seven-move EMOM workout to target major muscle groups, including your core and upper and lower body, raise your heart rate and boost fitness. Here’s how to do it using a set of the best adjustable
