In a study, they found that both the chitin (kai’tin) and healthy fats gained by eating insects appear to contribute to healthy gut microbiota and provide plenty of essential protein and nutrients. The research focused on how cricket-derived designer chocolate patties may affect the digestion process.

The movie, about a racer putting his retirement plans on pause for a younger driver, will have “Top Gun: Maverick” director Joseph Kosinski and producer Jerry Bruckheimer at the helm.

We’ve all been told that walking is the best exercise. It’s easy, convenient, requires minimal equipment, and has tremendous health benefits. With that in mind, many people aim to take the magical number of 10,000 steps each day. But here’s something else to keep in mind: According to research from the University of Sydney, pace is just as important as those 10,000 steps a day, as far as your health is concerned. 78,500 adults with wearable fitness trackers were monitored, and scientist found that while achieving 10,000 steps was linked to a lower risk of dementia and heart disease, a faster walking pace showed even more benefits. They concluded: “The take-home message here is that for protective health benefits, people could not only ideally aim for 10,000 steps a day, but also aim to walk faster.”
A 7th grader in Michigan is being called a hero for preventing his school bus from crashing after its driver lost consciousness. Dillon Reeves, a student at Lois E. Carter Middle School in Warren, took immediate action on a bus ride home in “an extraordinary act of courage and maturity,” the school superintendent said. The bus driver experienced dizziness while driving and followed protocol by alerting ‘“home base” that she wasn’t feeling well and was going to pull over. But the driver passed out before stopping, and the bus started to veer into oncoming traffic. Reeves “jumped up from his seat, threw his backpack down, ran to the front of the bus, grabbed the steering wheel and eased the bus to a stop in the middle of the road” in the midst of panic. In a video released by authorities, Reeves is seen taking control of the steering wheel, slowly pushing the brakes, and yelling to the other kids: “Someone call 911! Now!” No one was injured and the bus driver is fine.

A beautician who left her job doing hair and nails is now raking in £7k (US $8,800 USD) a month – working as a full-time witch. 29-year-old Brit Jessica Caldwell, who works only on social media, reads tarot cards for celebrities, friends and family. She quit her previous job after a ”spiritual awakening” while scrolling through Instagram during a shift as a nail technician.

COMMON WORDS THAT CLASSY PEOPLE AVOID:
Words have huge social and reputational power. Here are some to avoid if you want to be seen as a classier person. BTW, you’re not going to agree with all of these…
✗ The “f” word: There. I said it. Without saying it. It betrays a notable lack of self-discipline and self-control.
✗ “Huh?”: It makes you sound like proof that humanity hasn’t evolved much past the days of the cavemen.
✗ “What?”: Slightly higher up on the scale, but still distinctly not classy. Try “Pardon?”
✗“Ghetto”: Yup. It makes you sound ghetto.
✗“Booze”: Try using better words, such as drinks, wine, spirits, beer, beverages, cocktails, or refreshments.
✗ “Legit”: This is another of those “youth culture” words that just sounds…really silly.
✗ “Epic”: Please stop. Unless you’re talking about a period of history or an epic poem, leave it out of your verbal palette.
✗ “Sick”: If someone is legit sick, then fine. But use of the word to describe something as being remarkable or impressive makes you sound like a 12-year-old skateboarder.
✗“Dude”: Apparently you only have the right to use this word if you grew up in certain areas of Australia or California. Otherwise, instead of asking “Dude, where’s my car?”, Try asking “Dude, where’s my classiness?”
✗“Snack”: It has crept into the lexicon as a way of describing a man who is highly attractive. Just remember to avoid all “snacking”.
✗“Extra”: …when used to describe something bizarre or incredible or embarrassing. Using this term is very extra. And by that, we mean embarrassing
