Watch This Speeding SUV Lose Control and Flip While Towing a Camper – The Drive

As we've discussed before, safely towing a heavy loadbe it a janky old Subaru rally car or just a big old camperis far more involved than simply connecting truck and trailer and hitting the gas. Weight balance is key, as are smooth inputs and a safe traveling speed. It appears the driver of the Ford Excursion in this video followed none of these rules with predictably disastrous results.

Dashcam footage from a semi-truck driver shows the accident happened on a clear, dry day on Interstate 82 in central Washington State. All seems well as the truck descends a hill, and the dashcam's built-in speedometer shows he's cruising safely at around 65 mph. That was apparently too slow for the driver of the Excursion, who overtakes the truck at around 0:48. Things begin to unravel almost immediately.

The trailer is already swaying dangerously as the unfortunate driver finishes passing the semi, and it quickly oscillates out of control. The SUV veers off the left side of the road and both truck and trailer disappear into a cloud of dust as they roll several times in a violent wreck. Fortunately, the truck driver stops and reports in the video description that the man driving the Excursion and his two sons were uninjured.

We Talked With an Expert About Whether You Can Actually Lose Weight With the Apple Cider Vinegar Diet or Bone … – Life & Style Weekly

It's no surprise that our favorite celebs love to spill their diet secrets, given that they often work so hard to get those killer bodies! But how safe (or beneficial) are those weight loss remedies that aren't, you know, sweating it out at the gym?

We talked with Dr. Josh Axe, D.N.M., C.N.S., D.C., founder of DrAxe.com, best-selling author of Eat Dirt, and co-founder of Ancient Nutrition, to get the truth about some of the Internet's most searched diets and whether you should listen to the hype! Scroll down to hear his thoughts on apple cider vinegar, the bone broth detox, and more popular fads.

Whether youre dieting or not, regularly having small amounts of apple cider vinegar, or ACV, has numerous health benefits, including: better digestion, reduced acid reflux, enhanced detoxification, and blood sugar regulation. ACV contains a powerful substance acetic acid, which is beneficial for gut health and more. In terms of it being used as part of a diet to help someone lose weight, this approach might have certain advantages due to how ACV can help reduce cravings and improve nutrient absorption.

Id recommend starting with one or two teaspoons of apple cider vinegar mixed with water before your three biggest meals of the day, as this may help stabilize blood sugar levels, alkalize your digestive system and have other positive effects on your metabolism. You can also try starting the day with a cleansing mix of ACV, lemon juice, cayenne pepper, and cinnamon. Im a big fan of ACV, but I still like to remind people that theres no magic bullet when it comes to lasting weight loss. In general, consuming lots of one healthy ingredient should never take the place of an overall balanced diet and healthy lifestyle.

Fasting (abstaining from eating solid food) may seem like a recent trend, but in fact, its been practiced safely for thousands of years. As long as its not causing any negative side effects such as irregular menstrual cycles, lots of fatigue, or heavy brain fog then going for longer periods of time without food, even for an entire day, has been shown to have certain positive health effects.

Skipping a whole day of eating obviously has benefits for reducing calorie intake as well, but this isn't the only reason that fasting is helpful for weight loss or maintenance. Fasting helps deplete glycogen (energy stored in muscles), which means the body uses more stored fat for energy, plus it helps normalize blood sugar levels. It may also help regulate production of certain appetite hormones including leptin, the hormone that regulates fat storage in response to eating, and ghrelin, a hormone that increases hunger. Studies have also found links between fasting and longevity, due to how fasting may help lower oxidative stress. Bone broth is one of the best things to have while fasting (as well as on non-fasting days) because it prevents muscle wasting or dehydration, and supplies essential nutrients including amino acids and electrolytes to keep energy levels up.

Eating 3 square meals a day might be most common, but that doesnt mean its the only healthy way to eat. In fact, its now being shown in studies that for some people, eating many small meals all day long (also called grazing) may contribute to overeating, possibly because it never allows enough time for someone to feel truly hungry, decreasing their ability to be stay in touch with their true hunger versus fullness signals.

Everyone is a bit different in terms of how often and when they get hungry, so theres no hard-and-fast rule as to which number of meals is best. Eating only one meal per day might seem extreme, and it certainly can be very uncomfortable for some people, but for others it might provide substantial benefits and seem pretty manageable, especially if practiced only several days per week. Staying flexible and in touch with your appetite cues should really be the ultimate goal.

Eating plenty of protein, healthy fats, and veggies while keeping carb and sugar intake low is one of the most reliable ways to lose weight, often pretty quickly. Another name for a very low-carb, low-sugar diet is the Ketogenic Diet which has recently become very popular, followed by celebrities such as Halle Berry, but has actually been practiced since around the 1920s. The keto diet works by forcing the body to burn fat for energy instead of carbohydrates, a process called ketosis.

Ketosis is only possible when carb intake is kept very, very low around 25-30 grams of net carbs per day (the amount thats left when fiber is subtracted). Foods like meat, fish, oils, and non-starchy veggies are either very-low carb or no-carb, so they should make up the bulk of calories on plans like the keto diet. Dairy products, grains, fruit, legumes, and added sugars have more carbs, so they are either strictly limited or avoided all together. Most people will be able to achieve similar results to Kim if they follow a Moderate Keto Diet," sticking to about 60-75 grams of net carbs daily which allows for a bit more flexibility.

Eight-Months Pregnant Serena Plans To Exercise As Long As Possible To Return To Tennis In January – MadameNoire

As we told you recently, Serena Williams has had quite the healthy pregnancy. Now in her eighth month, her fianc, Alexis Ohanian, revealed that the tennis aces pregnancy cravings have included a lot of veggies. And according to Williams, she plans to continue being active (as safely as possible) up until her due date because she is hoping to return to the tennis court for a tournament in January, possibly three months after giving birth.

I am looking forward to becoming a mother and coming back to the courts already, Williams shared with The Telegraph. Im always thinking about whats next: the next victory, the next trophy.

With the Australian Open on her mind, Williams has been knocking around tennis balls, slamming medicine balls and pushing weights at the gym to prepare. Despite being in her final weeks of pregnancy, she doesnt plan on slowing down.

I intend to keep exercising for as long as possible while pregnant, she told the UK publication. I want to [sic] baby to be healthy and for that you need a healthy life. Also, when I come back to tennis itll be better if Ive kept as fit as possible all the way through the pregnancy rather than having to lose a lot of weight afterwards in order to get fit again. Eating healthily is a must, but being healthy is a lifestyle.

Even though shes on a health kick, that doesnt mean Williams hasnt encountered the usual pregnancy pangs. That includesstruggling to turn over in bed at night with a growing bump and losing her coveted ankles:

Still, the 35-year-old mom to be is pushing through in the hopes of bouncing back quickly after delivery and dominating once again on the court. As she told Vogue for their September issue recently, Im definitely coming back. Walking out there and hearing the crowd, it may seem like nothing. But theres no better feeling in the world.

Gauging the Health and Wellness of Ageing Parents – Bexhill Observer

Welcome to the latest edition of Senior Snippets: the monthly advisory column with the older members of our community in mind, brought to you by Caroline Aherne, Director of Home Instead Senior Care in Bexhill.

For an elderly person to admit they need help would mean they cant take care of themselves anymore, and no one wants to lose their independence. Usually, the burden falls on family members to recognize the signs that an aging parent might need some extra help with daily living tasks, but this doesnt necessarily mean that your loved one has to move into a care home. They may just need some extra help in their home.

Here are some questions to ask to determine if your elderly parents may need some extra care?

Are your parents able to take care of themselves? Pay attention to your parents appearance. Failure to keep up with daily routines such as bathing, tooth brushing, and good hygiene is a sign that they may be experiencing feelings of depression or have a physical ailment.

Are your parents able to take care of their home? Are the lights working or is the laundry piling up? Is the garden overgrown? Any changes in the way your parents do things around the house could provide clues to their health.

Are your parents safe on the road? Driving can be challenging for older adults. If your parents become confused while driving or youre concerned about their ability to drive safely, it might be time to stop driving.

Have your parents lost weight? Losing weight without trying could be a sign that somethings wrong. Weight loss could be related to many factors, including difficulty cooking, loss of taste or smell or perhaps it is the signal of an underlying condition such as malnutrition, dementia, or depression.

Are your parents still social? Its important to talk to your parents about their activities. Are they connecting with friends? Have they maintained interest in hobbies and other daily activities? Are they involved in organisations or clubs? If a parent gives up on being with others, it could be a sign of a problem.

Even if you dont live near-by to your parents but are concerned about their health and wellbeing, there are many things you can do to ensure your parents are getting the support they need. Share your concerns with them and address any issues that you feel may become bigger if they arent dealt with early on. Encourage regular medical check-ups, consider home care services, and seek help from local agencies.

If you would like to speak to someone at Home Instead, please do not hesitate to get in touch. We also welcome any suggestions for future topics from you all. All you have to do is write to me at caroline.aherne@homeinstead.co.uk by post to Caroline Aherne, Home Instead Senior Care, Charter House, 43 St Leonards Road, Bexhill on Sea, TN40 1JA.

The Reason I Won’t Mention My Size On Dating Apps – Refinery29

The issue doesnt spawn from the amount of full-length photos I have on my profile there are enough photos of me; my Instagram is a literally dedication to what I look like. The issue is that I dont immediately put a warning label for my body in my profile. While some may consider this an act of size deception, its more of an act of considering myself part of the norm and not a niche. This counts as a pretty revolutionary act as a person of size in 2017: stating to the world that you should swipe right if youre attracted to me and not worry that youre going to forever be known as a chubby-chaser. Theres this misconception in online dating that plus women cant have standards, value, confidence. We cant just be looking for a date, a hook-up, a side-piece. We dont deserve a chance, we arent good enough, and we should be happy for any attention that we get.

In Sickness and in Health: it’s time for Nick to get back in the water – iNews

One of my proudest achievements as an adult used to be the fact that Id learnt how to do proper, face-in-water swimming. Or how to swim, as most other people would see it. Until my late twenties, I would do the kind of breaststroke favoured by ladies of a certain age who didnt want to ruin their hairdos. Front crawl was off the agenda, because I didnt like putting my face underwater, and back crawl was too alarming because if I splashed too much, water might find its way up my nose.

Its thanks to Nick that I finally got my head around swimming. He used to be the captain of his schools swimming team and was brilliant in the water. He patiently bobbed about with me in the shallow end of our local baths and taught me how to exhale while submerged. Over the following months, I mastered a few strokes and started lane swimming. I even bought myself a swimming cap so that my fringe didnt impair my front crawling.

As I became fitter (and fed up with some peoples pool etiquette), I started going to the gym, walking and running, and when our local pool shut for refurbishment, I forgot about it. Years passed, and then Nick was run over. Since then, my proudest achievements have been bound up with looking after him; learning to live alone, getting back on the road after years of not driving; doing battle with the care system and the like. Even low-grade athletic prowess has been beyond me, despite wanting to get more active for my own sake as well as to be strong enough to look after Nick.

Then, a few weeks ago, not knowing what to do with myself after work and, for once, not wanting to drink three pints of oblivion in the pub, I remembered the pool round the corner. It was 8pm would it be open? Yes it was, and so a little later I found myself back in the water.

Before I took the plunge, though, it was time for my evening call to Nick. Standing in the echoing corridor by the changing room, I told him I was about to go for a dip.

I miss swimming, he said, sadly.

I used to be really good at it.

Nick hasnt been in a pool since the accident. At first, he was too mad and ill. Then the pool at the hospital was out of service. Then his incontinence was the issue. Then, once he moved to a care home, the nearest pool was being refurbished. Then he moved again, and was told he needed to lose weight before they could safely get him doing hydrotherapy.

Hes managed to lose a stone and a half since Christmas, and I am going to start nagging the home about getting him into a pool. Because since I took to the water recently, Ive been returning often. I mentioned it to a friend who had a baby a few months back. A blissed-out look came across her face. I managed to have a swim the other day, she said. It felt wonderful to feel my body again.

I cant stop thinking about how wonderful it would be for Nick to feel his body doing something different from lying in bed or sitting in his wheelchair.

I asked him this morning how he thought it would feel.

If I could go in the water, I could float and feel free. Ill feel freer than ever.

Mascots have access to a whole new world, finds GRAHAM CARTER – Swindon Advertiser

Be warned that the following has some adult content, so please make sure it isnt read by any children.

You see, this week I am going to talk about mascots, such as the ones you see at big sporting events or representing charities, and we dont want little uns to know their secrets.

Like the jolly guy in the red suit and white beard who hangs around at Christmas, there is a strict code of practice that applies whenever a mascot goes to work, ensuring the magic is always preserved.

However, as I have arranged for the little darlings eyes to be safely averted, I can reveal that sometimes mascots are not what they seem, nor are they actual animals, but people dressed up.

Its true.

And I know from personal experience.

A couple of years ago I was involved in an event in the town centre and a friend who does a lot of work for a charity told me their mascot would like to attend, but was um unavailable, and did I know anybody who could step in?

I am sworn not to reveal the name of the charity nor the type of animal he was, but I can say it was no coincidence that you never saw me and the mascot together, nor that we were roughly the same height.

If he had talked - which, of course, he must never do - he would have had a Swindon accent.

OK: it was me, and I am pretty relieved that the secret is out.

To tell the truth, I have been itching to tell people, because it was such fun.

I thought I was pretty good at it too, but only until we visited the recent World Athletics Championships in London and found ourselves in the presence of three heroes.

One was Usain Bolt, one was Mo Farah and the other hero was a big hedgehog who was actually called Hero.

Call us big kids if you like, but we found the antics of Hero really entertaining, and he subsequently became a social media star, even though the BBC cameras, for some reason, mostly ignored him - or her (nobody seemed to know whether Hero was male of female).

I could never emulate Hero, who really turned out to be the king of mascots, but I did thoroughly enjoy my hour in costume.

Honestly, its great, and if you ever get the chance to be one, go for it.

The best thing is nobody knows whos inside, so you can say goodbye to any last vestige of self-consciousness.

I literally havent danced a step in the last 25 years, apart from in that suit, when I became Lionel Blair.

The kids adore you, naturally, but so do the adults, even attractive young ladies, who get the urge to cuddle you.

There is a downside, though, as I discovered, because a big furry animal suit also has a similar effect on hairy Hells Angels.

And you can go anywhere. There were vintage cars there, which nobody would ever let you sit in, but if you are wearing a furry suit they will open the door for you to get in and make you pose for pictures.

An hour in a furry suit is like an hour in a sauna, though, so be warned, unless you are looking to get fit and lose weight, in which case half a dozen fetes should do it.

I think I have finally found my vocation, so I am currently on the look-out for more mascot work, if you know of any.

All offers considered, apart from pantomime horses.

Diet Doc Explains Why Customized Dieting is More Effective than the Popular Keto Diet – EconoTimes

Diet Doc Explains Why Customized Dieting is More Effective than the Popular Keto Diet

Oklahoma City, OK, Aug. 16, 2017 -- When people want to lose weight quickly, keto diets are a very common choice and for good reason. Low-carb dieting has been successfully used for years to drop pounds due to ketosis. Ketosis is what occurs when the body begins to burn fat for fuel, rather than carbohydrates; thus resulting in accelerated fat loss. In spite of the fact that it produces quick results, Diet Doc cautions that there are some additional characteristics of the diet that may not be as welcomed.

A diet low in carbs and high in protein cannot be sustained long-term given the effects of added protein can have on the kidneys, along with its negative effects on muscle and liver glycogen stores. Ketogenic diets often lack essential nutrients. If not balanced, a keto diet can lead to nutrient deficiencies such as b-vitamins and fiber. Healthy carbs are important for maintaining energy and fiber is critical for gastrointestinal health and weight reduction.

Customized diet planning on the other hand, can offer personalized guidance that takes all health issues into consideration to ensure that nutritional needs are being met and that weight loss is happening quickly. This route can help clients solve weight loss plateaus, address emotional eating patterns, assist with weight maintenance and other potential aspects.

Aug. 15 Bless Your Heart – Greenville Daily Reflector

BYH Winterville PD, you have some of the nicest, professional officers. Other small towns would benefit by following their lead.

BYH ECU state employees. Welcome to the real world; the gravy train of benefits is over!

As I was driving around the city noticing all the large construction cranes, I also began to notice new roads. Greenville, you look good in your new suit.

Stanford University has introduced a course to discuss the possibilities of abolishing whiteness, according to the course description. I am not too sure where this is headed. I am pretty sure I was born the color I am and just thought it was part of the natural process. I would like to lose weight and grow more hair, but changing color seems a might drastic.

Bless your heart, Vidant, for being one of the dirtiest hospitals I have ever seen. You should be using some of the ridiculous profit from the outrageous prices charged in the cafeteria to keep the hospital clean!

I have been studying all the campaign promises made by city council and mayoral candidates over the past 25 years. By my calculation, if all of their promises had come true, then we would be living in a city of over 40 million people with a greenway that would stretch to Kathmandu. Please remember to discount campaign promises by a factor of 110 percent. Then forget them and you will not be disappointed.

BYH and welcome back, ECU students. Just one favor, please put your devices in the glove compartment when you drive. Thank you.

BYH to the painters and planners of the bike lanes that are on less than 1 percent of our roads. It is great that Greenville is starting to realize that many of us wish to be able to safely bike and walk. However, a few token bike lanes that never connect with each other just makes sharing the roads even more dangerous. Drivers of cars speed too much, run red lights and refuse to share the roads with others. City leaders need to see what cities like Raleigh are doing to improve the quality of life for the people who live there and make every street safe to use by everyone.

NO BYH to NCDOT. Where is the road going from Dickinson to 10th Street? I would say 50 percent of the cars going down Dickinson would turn right onto 10th. Theres no road anymore!

Bless his heart, candidate Trump said Im not going to have time to play golf, believe me if elected, and Who the ... wants to leave the White House? Well, today marked the 50th day he has spent at one of his golf resorts as president, making those words as empty as everything else hes said.
