For the longest time, fad diets have been a go-to solution for those hoping to quickly lose some extra pounds without exerting too much effort. Though health experts constantly warn the public against these diets, this hasn’t really stopped people from trying them out.

Now, there’s a different health trend called intuitive eating that’s all the rage on social media. Some of the most trusted fitness influencers swear by it, and people who’ve tried it won’t stop raving about it.

So, what is intuitive eating?

Unlike fad diets, intuitive eating doesn’t involve depriving yourself of foods that you love. Instead, it’s more about being aware of the different signals your body is sending you, and acting on them accordingly.

While fad diets may make you feel guilty or ashamed for indulging in a treat or two, intuitive eating helps you avoid these negative feelings by deemphasizing losing weight or achieving a certain look. This allows you to throw away all your inhibitions and gives you more freedom to eat without worry or fear.

With intuitive eating, more importance is placed on knowing whether certain foods will satisfy you or not, and knowing how much you’ll need to eat to feel satisfied. Pay close attention to your body — once it tells you that you are no longer hungry, that’s when you should stop eating.

When you start rejecting the diet mentality that food is either “good” or “bad” and start letting your body’s inner hunger cues take charge, you’ll find that the pleasure you get out of eating what you want without judgment will leave you feeling more satisfied than overeating (or being overly restrictive) ever will.

Surprise From Superheroes

For children at the Children’s Hospital Colorado, they were in for a superhero surprise. Back in 2017, four members of the Aurora Police wore superhero costumes and greeted children as they rappelled down the side of the hospital building. This lifted to youngsters’ spirits and made for a memorable day.

Back-to-School Haircuts

In late August in San Jose, California for the sixth annual Kutz4Kids event, 15 barbers helped hundreds of kids who were returning to school get free haircuts.

Charitable Youngster

He was only eight years old when Charles “Chucky” Williams lost his dad to colon cancer. To honor his father’s memory, the Evansville, Indiana native gave out thousands of toys for a local non-profit and has provided many charitable acts.

Heroes After An Earthquake

In 2017, after a 7.1 magnitude earthquake hit Mexico City, Frida the rescue dog and Israel Arauz Salina (her trainer), went viral as the duo detected 52 bodies in the aftermath and saved lives. The nine-year-old lab and her trainer served in the Mexican navy and received their own statue.

Beached Whale Rescuers

In 2009, 58 volunteers raced to the beach to help save 17 long-finned pilot whales that were stranded in Australia at Hamelin Bay. Each whale can get up to 5,000 pounds, but that didn’t stop the animal lovers from guiding these gentle giants back out into the sea.

Sylvester Stallone

It wasn’t always spotlight, action movies, and fame for Sylvester Stallone. Much like Rocky Balboa, he had to fight his way to the top and overcome difficult hurdles to get to where he is now. Stallone was so broke, he had to sell off his wife’s jewelry. He worked at a deli when he was in his 20s and was so desperate, he even had to sell his beloved pet dog to a stranger at a local liquor store. Stallone parted with his best bud for a mere $25! Stallone claimed that this was the lowest point in his life. He said goodbye to his dog and went away sad and crying.

Stallone would later write the script to “Rocky” and instead of selling it and having someone else play the lead role, Stallone took it upon himself to be the main star. The rest is history, as the movie went on to win an Academy Award for Best Picture in 1977. The story of Rocky is one of rags to riches and is definitely a parallel to the real-life actor Sylvester Stallone. And can you guess what he did when he made money from the success of the movie? That’s right, he went back to buy his beloved dog back for $15K!

A Happy Childhood

It can be challenging as a parent and sometimes one may even think they’re not doing such a great job.

Adults Only Party

It can be difficult to remember what it’s like being around other adults if you’re a parent that spends all their time with their children.

Driving You Crazy

As a teen, not having a driver’s license can be a burden for any parent who has to cart you around. Parents have to drive you everywhere. Pick you up from school, take you to sleepovers, soccer practice, pick you up in the morning, the list goes on. It’s enough to drive a parent crazy!

Selective Hearing Superpower

The woman in bed with coffee getting constantly hounded. Yeah, this looks all too familiar for mothers. Luckily, selective hearing is a superpower and blocking out “mom” and “mommy” and ignoring your children is all too relatable. Treat yourself. Serenity now!

When it comes to being famous these days, many people get on the famous social media platform, TikTok. TikTokers do lip-syncs, do fun challenges, or make some cool things and share with their followers. Enter Steve, an 81-year-old guy who makes vids of himself cooking quick and easy recipes. It may sound strange that such an old guy would be using a platform like TikTok which mainly has a younger audience, but there’s something really heartwarming about it all.

“Cooking With Steve” is what he calls his channel and even though he was a bit lonely at first, he now has video posts that get over 200K views and he’s up to 5.2 million total! So, it’s safe to say that what was once a “silly” video channel has now exploded to make the loveable old Steve an official TikTok star.

Steve was asked about his life outside of TikTok and his social media career. He mentions not having any children or grandkids, so being on TikTok makes him not feel so alone. A lot of the comments are about how much people love him and claim that he’s the best thing to happen to TikTok, so he feels blessed.

Steve also claims that he’s a self-taught cameraman and does his own lighting and videography. He understands how to post vids on TikTok, but also admits if he comes across anything too challenging he’ll hop on the Google or watch a how-to video on YouTube. Most of the videos Steve makes aren’t pre-scripted or planned either, adding to the loveable aspect of having live and uncut videos.

No matter how the TikTok posts are made, it’s clearly working out for Steve. If TikTok makes Steve feel less lonely too, then all the better! Keep up the great work Steve!

Online Dating

Its risky business putting yourself out there, and especially so when it’s online.

Greta organized Fridays for Future which is a worldwide school climate strike. The movement has brought media attention across the globe and she has helped raise awareness. So far, more than one million students have joined in on the strike. This 16-year-old has been advocating for climate change action for years and she’s an inspiration to young people everywhere. Make sure to see her passionate speech at the UN Climate Summit.

Boyan Slat

It was disappointing to Boyan Slat when he discovered tons of plastic in the water during a fishing trip he took in Greece. A couple years later when he turned 18, he launched Ocean Cleanup, a non-profit that addresses the plastic and pollution issues our oceans face. The Dutch inventor went on to raise more than $31.5 million and has since developed river catchment systems that have reduced the amount of plastic and microplastics that make it into our oceans.

Emma Gonzalez

Emma Gonzalez is one of the students that survived the horrific school shooting in Parkland, Florida. Alongside Alex Wind, David Hogg, Cameron Kasky, Jaclyn Corin, and others, they have fought to end gun violence. At a March for Lives rally she gave a moving speech that addressed her classmates who died.

She co-founded Never Again MSD and still fights to end gun violence.

Kelvin Doe

At only 11 years old, Kelvin Doe, one of Sierra Leone’s most famous inventors began to look at different ways he could use technology to provide power to homes. At the age of 13, Doe used acid batteries, metal in a tin cup, and soda to provide power and later on, he would use recycled generator parts and reused the material to build a community radio. Kelvin’s mentor, a Ph.D. student at MIT by the name of David Sengeh said of Doe, “Other young people suddenly feel the can be like Kelvin.” He has inspired many children in Sierra Leone.

Malala Yousafzai

Malala is the youngest Nobel Prize laureate. At the age of 17, she won the prize for her efforts as a humanitarian. After surviving being shot by the Taliban in Pakistan, she has been a well-known promoter for young girls and women pursuing education. Malala has continued her work by forming the organization, The Malala Fund and she’s currently attending Oxford’s Lady Margaret Hall to work on her bachelor’s degree.

A king and queen wanted their daughter to marry the wisest and bravest prince in the land. They invited three noble princes, all of whom came from honorable families. The royal parents decided to create an assessment in order to choose the wisest and bravest of them all.

The three princes were taken to the royal courtyard and were told to sit in a circle facing one another. They were given three silver swords and two gold swords. Next, they were blindfolded and one sword was placed in back of each of the princes. The remaining swords were put in a secret location in the palace.

The King and Queen told the princes that the first one to figure out the color of the sword behind him, without looking at it or turning around, will marry their princess. The princes were told to remove the blindfolds.

Prince #3 saw two silver swords behind the other princes. After a few minutes, he realized that the other princes couldn’t tell what the color of their sword is. They seemed hesitant and were afraid to guess.

What color is Prince #3’s sword?

Scroll Down for a Hint!

Hint: Why can’t Prince #1 and Prince #2 solve the riddle?

Scroll Down to See the Answer!

Silver.

The King and Queen would not choose two silver swords and one gold sword. This would mean two princes would see one gold sword and one silver sword. The only prince with the gold sword behind his back would be at a disadvantage.

If a prince had a gold sword behind his back, the other two princes would be able to quickly assume they had silver swords behind their backs.

If a wise prince noticed a silver sword and a gold sword, he would realize eventually that the King and Queen would never select two gold swords and one silver sword. Any prince seeing two gold swords would automatically know he had a silver sword behind his back. Therefore, if a prince can see one gold sword, he can safely figure out that he has a silver sword behind him.

The only fair and balanced assessment is for all three princes would be to have silver swords behind all of them. Prince #3 waited to see the other princes’ reactions and after a short time, could safely say that he had a silver sword behind him. Now, Prince #3 can marry the Princess!
