When you think, and act like a child, you find healing. It is interesting that during this time like no other there are three simple things making a difference: open minds,...

Since the dawn of the fitness industry and fad diets, this question has been raised: which is better for fat loss — eating or not eating before a morning workout? Some say fuel before a workout boosts blood sugars, giving the body energy to increase the intensity and length of a workout while fighting off fatigue and dizziness.

This serendipity, a happy result brought about by chance, seemed to be a driver of the e...
