What Fruit is in the “Berry” Family

Bananas belong to the berry family.  So do watermelons, tomatoes, peppers, cranberries, eggplants.  But not the strawberry. Bananas have three fleshy layers, contain two or more seeds, and developed from a flower with one ovary – which are some the botanical make-ups of berries.  But strawberries grow from flowers that have several ovaries.

Though in culinary and layman classification, a strawberry is a berry because of its size, sweet-tangy taste, and squishy appearance.

Don’t confuse yourself too much! Whichever fruit family they belong to, be sure to include these nutritious foods in your diet.

How long will honey last?

Honey does not go bad. It’s naturally acidic and has low moisture content. So if you bought a jar of honey with an expiry date, it’s not pure honey. Some extender has been added to it to reduce the price and, unfortunately, the quality and nutrients you can get out of it.

But keep in mind to follow storage instructions for honey because it is still prone to having bacterial spores that cause botulism and will disrupt your digestive system.

What food was made out of necessity during WWII?

Nutella was made out of necessity during WWII by adding ground hazelnuts because there was a shortage of cocoa supply in France.

It was a reasonably good idea to add hazelnuts. It’s a very nutritious food that can contain antioxidants, improve the condition of your heart and brain functioning, and can even help manage diabetes.

This is in addition to the benefits of the other ingredient, cocoa, which enhances mood, helps heal constipation, and hydrates the skin, among others. It’s healthy to consume cocoa and hazelnut separately and in the rawest form possible.

But be sure to watch your consumption of Nutella to fulfill your goals still.

What happens to Fat Cells when losing Weight?

Fat cells don’t get flushed out of your body when you shed some weight; they just decrease in size and mass.

On average, a person has 10 to 30 billion fat cells. It develops during adolescence and gets fixed during later phases. The shrinkage during weight loss is caused by the deficit of energy supplied to the body.

Though there is a way to introduce the reduction of fat cells – liposuction.

Are Muscles good for losing Weight?

Muscles burn calories even when you are sleeping.

That is why it recommended having both physical activities for fitness in addition to your diet plan. Exercising will promote the build-up of muscles. And in turn, muscles will still work for you act while you passively sleep.

Music Music and Diets

Listening to your favorite music can help ease cravings. 

Music affects your mood and makes you calmer. If you are in that state, it helps your brain overthink your craving and enables you to focus on the goal. It also encourages most people to eat slower and chew the food more appropriately.  This is a big help in breaking down the food and absorbing nutrients properly along the way.
