Book empowers children with diabetes (#56)

Intermittent fasting is becoming a trendy topic for health optimisation. Listen to this show to be the first to know about potential health recommendations coming up for weight loss and diabetes management in future.

In the interview is Alice Coffey and Petra Hanson. Alice is a PhD student at the University of Warwick, UK in Global Sustainable Development. Petra Hanson is a clinical research fellow at the University Hospital Coventry and Warwickshire NHS Trust in the UK.

Together they wrote a literature review on the effects of intermittent fasting on weight loss, metabolic health and insulin resistance. They wanted to know, how effective intermittent fasting really is according to existing evidence. Reviews like Alics's and Petra's are very important as they build the foundation for new health recommendations and guidelines in the future.

How effective is intermittent fasting really (#55)

Meditation is such a powerful tool, a wonderful bio- and lifehack. Research shows that Loving-Kindness meditation has tremendous benefits from greater well-being to providing relief from illness and improving emotional intelligence.

For me, meditation is the one thing, that let’s me calm down my mind, reconnect to my heart, release and relax. And it helps me manage my type one diabetes better, by balancing my blood glucose levels.

Today, we practise Loving-Kindness meditation together, which uses a sequence of mantras to offer well-wishes to different people in your life. Instead of focusing on the breath, which most meditation techniques do, we use the silent repetition of certain phrases. In the loving-kindness meditation those phrases are an offering to someone—a gift-giving. This meditation focuses on developing feelings of kindness, goodwill and warmth towards others. 

✨✨FREE: Meditation scrip✨✨

Practise loving-kindness meditation by yourself, in your own pace. You find the mantra and my advice on my blogcast https://thehappytypeone.com/season6/.
