Scientists Saw 'Bad Cholesterol' Levels Spike After Going Vegan
Scientists Saw 'Bad Cholesterol' Levels Spike After Going Vegan
A plant-based diet is meant to lower cholesterol, but two researchers experienced a surge in their LDL levels instead, with one doubling in just a week. Their results raise questions about how individual metabolism and diet interact, challenging the notion that one-size-fits-all nutrition applies to everyone.

Single Leg Floor Touch
Single Leg Floor Touch is an excellent exercise for improving balance, stability, and lower body strength. It engages the glutes, hamstrings, and core, while also challenging your coordination.

Step 1: Stand tall with your feet hip-width apart and your arms relaxed by your sides. Ensure the area around you is clear of obstacles.
Step 2: Shift your weight onto your right leg and slightly bend your right knee. Lift your left foot off the ground behind you.
Step 3: Keeping your back straight and your core engaged, hinge forward at the hips. Reach your left hand down toward the floor while extending your left leg straight behind you for balance.
Step 4: Pause briefly when your hand is close to the floor (or as far as you can reach while maintaining good form), then return to the starting position by straightening your hips and standing upright.
Step 5: Repeat for 8–12 repetitions, then switch to the opposite leg. Perform 2–3 sets per side.

Tips for Success:
• Keep your movements slow and controlled to avoid losing balance.
• Focus on engaging your core and keeping your standing knee slightly bent.
• If needed, use a chair or wall nearby for added stability until you're confident in the movement.
