Find key ways to stay healthy during COVID
Nowadays it feels that this COVID 19 or pandemic feels like a normal thing for everyone and although things seem to be opening up, it's important to still be careful and let one’s guard down by going out just like in the past. This seems to be the new normal so it seems. Although it's true gyms in some local areas might start to open up a bit while applying social distance, most areas are still closed and this could be an issue especially for one’s health.

Protein as a booster for metabolism
When the goal is to boost metabolism, build muscle and burn more fat automatically, protein is a priority. You should aim to eat at least 2 grams of quality protein per kg per day or 0.9 grams per pound of weight. That is about 2-times the amount of a regular diet. Why is that?

Gut Check
It has occurred to me since mid-March 2020 that there are several, simultaneous pandemics happening at once in the world. This has been eye-opening and anxiety inducing. Here in the United States, we have become the epicenter of the Covid-19 pandemic *queue many theories on why and what we should do about it*. There is also a pandemic of fear surrounding the virus which may be just as pervasive as the virus itself. As if the virus wasn't stressful enough, here in the states we are facing systemic race inequality, out-of-control police brutality and a race to preserve democracy. It's enough to make anyone's, well, immune system weak. Wait - did I mention the need for immediate climate change mitigation strategies?

Helping Each other to be sober
A Drug Rehabilitation program is one of the most effective ways of removing drug addicts from the grip of addiction and getting them back on track. But the problem is that many drug rehab centers and programs fail to treat the addiction problem properly and give proper attention to the needs of the addict. In some of the centers and programs, the addict will be taken for a tour in which they will see all the facilities offered by the center and they will also be introduced to some of the treatment options. However, the addict will not be given proper care during the tour and as a result, they will not know what is happening and this will only worsen their condition.

Detoxing From Alcohol
Alcohol abuse during times of emotional distress has been on the rise as of late. The statistics of Domestic Violence incidences has risen with the stay-at-home order due to the Coronavirus Pandemic. Parents are at home. Their kids are at home. Tension in the home rises because a Pandemic is not something any of us ever expected. Everyone feels stressed, which has caused a great deal of alcohol use to rise. We are living as though we are caged and this can cause people to seek escape through mood altering substances. Alcohol is something we can now pick up curbside, get delivered, and even buy from our local Olive Garden with our take-out. Before the Pandemic, we couldn’t even bring a beer bottle outside our neighborhood watering-hole without pouring it in a cup first. And NO WAY could we pick-up a bottle of wine with our taco’s! The availability of alcohol, the economic stress society has been thrown into, and our daily lives altered; not being able to socialize or work like normal, can take a toll on the human psyche. Women make up about 34% of the membership to Alcoholics Anonymous and are more susceptible than men to develop alcohol related Heart Disease.
