💤 Did you know that cherries are one of the very few natural sources of melatonin, the hormone that regulates your sleep cycle, making them a delicious bedtime-friendly fruit! 💤
🍒Sweet, juicy, and bursting with antioxidants, cherries are more than just a summer treat! A single cup (about 150g) of fresh cherries provides vitamin C, potassium, fiber, and natural compounds that help fight inflammation and support heart health.

For years, we were taught that eggs are mainly about protein, fat, and cholesterol, but there's so much more to them!

✨ Eggs are a true nutritional powerhouse, rich in:
🥚Essential amino acids: valine, leucine, isoleucine, cystine, histidine, methionine, tryptophan, tyrosine, threonine, lysine, phenylalanine
🥚Omega-3s: DHA & EPA
🥚Vitamins: A (retinol), B2 (riboflavin), B5 (pantothenic acid), B6, B12, D, E, folate, choline
🥚Minerals: calcium, potassium, magnesium, phosphorus, iron, selenium, zinc
Eggs aren't just a breakfast staple, they’re a compact source of nutrients that support muscle growth, brain function, vision, and more. 🍳💪

Probiotics vs Prebiotics part 2:
Probiotics are live beneficial bacteria, while prebiotics are the food that helps them thrive. Think of it this way: probiotics are the good guests, prebiotics are their favorite snacks. You need both for a healthy gut! 🦠

Let’s break down the most common myths and what science actually says:
✔ Dairy isn’t just for children — adults benefit too (bone health, protein, vitamin D).
✔ Not all full-fat dairy is “bad” — moderation matters.
✔ Plant-based isn’t always better — watch for added sugars & missing nutrients.
✔ Fermented dairy (like yogurt & kefir) can actually support gut & immune health.
✔ Low-fat options may even support weight loss & metabolism.
🧬 Don’t fear dairy — understand it. The goal isn’t restriction, it’s balance.

Berberine is a powerful natural compound with clinically proven benefits for blood sugar control, cholesterol, weight management, and gut health. Traditionally used in Chinese and Ayurvedic medicine, it’s now widely studied for its metabolic effects. However, it’s not for everyone — it may interact with medications (like antidiabetics or anticoagulants) and is not recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding. Always use under professional guidance, typically in cycles (e.g. 500 mg, 2–3 times daily for 8 weeks).

💡 Muscle vs Fat: What’s the real difference?
1 kg of muscle ≠ 1 kg of fat in composition OR calories.

📊 Muscle is mostly water and protein, more metabolically active.
⚠️ Fat stores way more energy, over 7,700 kcal per kg!

➡️ Want to lose fat and build muscle? The scale won’t always show it, but your body will.
