How to Count Calories Accurately (and Why You Might Want To)

We may earn a commission from links on this page. If you want to start tracking how many calories you eat—whether for weight loss, weight gain, or just out of curiosity—here’s a primer.

How early nutrition shapes lifelong health in the first 1,000 days

Every feed during this timeframe does far more than simply satisfy immediate hunger.  Breast milk is a living, bioactive fluid containing immune cells, beneficial bacteria, and over 200 distinct human milk oligosaccharides (HMOs) that collaborate to build an infant's gut, immune system, and brain. Every year, World Breastfeeding Week 2026 is being observed from August 1 to 7 to highlight the role of breastfeeding in an infant’s life. As medical science deepens our understanding of early paediatric care, expert insight from Dr. Ravneet Joshi, consultant lactation specialist at Manipal Hospital, Old Airport Road, Bengaluru, and Dr. Asmita Mahaj...

Jeremy Lin: Leonard makes Raptors a ‘dark horse’

The last time the Toronto Raptors brought in Kawhi Leonard, Jeremy Lin experienced a team reaching the mountaintop. Leonard arrived as the missing piece of a title contender and left as the face of the franchise’s first NBA championship.Now, as the Raptors pursue a reunion with Leonard, Lin believes the star forward could once again have a dramatic impact on the organization — even if he doesn’t view Toronto as an immediate favourite in the Eastern Conference.“It’s a ripple effect,” Lin said in a recent interview. “I mean, imagine that championship team without him, right? He’s a magnet.”Lin was part of Toronto’s 2018-19 title-winning squad, a team that combined Leonard’s all-around dominance with a deep, veteran roster to deliver one of the most memorable playoff runs in NBA history. ...
