    What is the carnivore diet?

    What is the carnivore diet?

    We’ve all heard about the importance of getting a balanced diet, but some people choose to ignore that advice completely, and those following the carnivore diet are a prime example.
    As you may have guessed from its name, the carnivore diet involves eating almost exclusively meat, sometimes raw, sometimes cooked, and might also include fish. Healthline.com says that “other animal foods like eggs and certain dairy products” are sometimes also eaten.
    Are there any benefits? How did such a sketchy diet become popular? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!

    Why are more and more men joining the no fap movement?

    Why are more and more men joining the no fap movement?

    Now if you’ve never heard the word fap before, let me spell it out to you. It’s basically an onomatopoeic slang term for male masturbation. According to Business Insider, the term first appeared in a web comic called Sexy Losers in 1999, to indicate the sound of a male character masturbating. An Urban Dictionary definition for the term was then added in 2002, and usage grew from the 2000s onwards.
    So obviously now you know what that means, you’ll have realised that the no fap movement means quitting masturbation. And while masturbation is a pleasurable activity for many, the no fap movement against it has been gaining traction for about a decade now. It started out in the U.S. and the aim is to combat porn addiction and masturbation. 
    Why do all these men want to stop masturbating? Are any of those claims true? What should someone do if they feel addicted to masturbation then? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!

    Can you eat eggs everyday?

    Can you eat eggs everyday?

    Whether they’re soft-boiled, fried, poached, or whipped into cakes and pies, eggs are a kitchen favorite for good reason. In the UK the average person consumes about 175 eggs per year, that’s about 3 eggs weekly. 
    They are packed with vitamins D, E, A, and B12, plus minerals like iron, zinc, and magnesium, making eggs a healthy choice. They’re also brimming with essential fatty acids—omega 3, 6, and 9—to support brain function and the immune system. But that’s not all: eggs are protein-rich, rivaling meat and fish. In fact two eggs equate to a modest 100-gram steak, and our bodies love these proteins, especially the 8 essential amino acids they provide.
    Why are eggs good for you? But what about cholesterol? Do eggs contribute to weight gain? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!

    What is Lucky Girl syndrome, this new method that is all the rage on Tik Tok?

    What is Lucky Girl syndrome, this new method that is all the rage on Tik Tok?

    You might be familiar with the expression ‘you make your own luck’ or with the idea of thinking positively to create a positive outcome - some people refer to it as ‘manifesting’. But now, a new trend on the social media platform TikTok has taken it one step further with what has been dubbed ‘lucky girl syndrome’.
    Essentially you tell yourself that everything just works out for you and that you are the luckiest person with phrases like ‘everything just always works out for me’ or I always get what I want’ and just like that you now have Lucky Girl Syndrome. It first started on TikTok in December 2022, when creator Laura Galebe posted a video explaining how she believes she gets “the most insane opportunities” simply by “expecting great things” to happen.
    How does it work? Is there any evidence that it works? What are the problems with Lucky Girl Syndrome? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!

    Which type of wine is best for your health?

    Which type of wine is best for your health?

    When it comes to health, many people wonder which type of wine can most easily be enjoyed without needing to worry about negative health consequences. First things first, I hate to be a party pooper but let’s be clear: there’s no kind of alcohol that is actually “good” for your health. 
    So red wine does contain some antioxidants, which have reported health benefits. But senior dietitian and British Heart Foundation spokesperson Victoria Taylor says that “while it is often included in the traditional diet, it isn’t an essential part and should be drunk in moderation.”
    So are dry reds the healthiest option then? What about rosé then? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!

    Is eating bread actually bad for you?

    Is eating bread actually bad for you?

    Bread has been a staple of the human diet for over 10,000 years, when our ancestors made flatbread by baking a mixture of flour and water in the sun.
    To this day, the vast majority of us eat bread on a regular basis, and many of us eat it every day. But it’s been demonised to some extent in recent years, with many dieters saying it’s made up of “empty calories” and ditching it. 
    What is the nutritional makeup of bread? Brown bread is supposed to be the healthiest, isn’t it? How often should I eat bread? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!
