Even if you're taking weight loss medication, maintaining proper nutrition is still essential. Health experts emphasize that a balanced diet is key to meeting your body’s nutritional needs and avoiding vitamin deficiencies—no matter what the scale says.
For those managing their weight through diet, intermittent fasting has gained popularity in recent years. Registered dietitians say there are several approaches, such as eating only within an 8-hour window each day, or trying periodic fasting, where calorie intake is limited to about 500 calories for one or two days a week. But before starting any fasting plan, it's important to consult with a healthcare provider.
Meanwhile, antibacterial wipes—widely used during the pandemic—are still common in many households. If you're using them, experts recommend doing it correctly: clean the surface first, then disinfect, making sure the area stays wet for at least 15 seconds to several minutes to effectively kill germs. Also, only use wipes on hard, non-porous surfaces for proper sanitation.
