The Dietary Demons: Are Ultraprocessed Foods What They Seem to Be?
Ultraprocessed foods (UPFs) have come under heavy fire in recent years for their detrimental impacts on health and are frequently held responsible for the rise in heart disease, metabolic disorders, and obesity. Many dietitians and health experts advise consumers to stay away from them, calling them unhealthy and deficient in nutrients. However, are Ultraprocessed foods actually as harmful as they are portrayed to be? Or is the conversation more nuanced?

An open letter to the ones who feel like a failure
I have known the depths of pain, regret, desolation and the atrocious feeling of not being enough. You sink deeper into the abyss of self-doubt and plague yourself that life has no meaning left to sustain your being, There is tiredness in your soul and your eyes have lost their spark, life feels all too heavy and the thoughts of giving up on yourself and life often transcends through our being, our younger self stares at us through the blankness of where we should have been and you know this pain would not go just by sleeping, or distracting yourself or talking to someone. The pain forges a void that you cannot fill, a hollowness of shallow breaths that are ceasing to toil, that can no longer strive to win the battle for just surviving, for being alive.

The Power of Small Habits: How Tiny Changes Led to Big Results
Jason had always been an “all-or-nothing” kind of person. Every New Year, he’d set ambitious goals—wake up at 5 AM, hit the gym daily, eat clean, write a book, and somehow become a completely different person overnight. And every year, without fail, he burned out within weeks. One evening, after yet another failed attempt at a drastic life overhaul, he sat on his couch, scrolling through his phone, feeling defeated. That’s when he stumbled upon a simple idea: What if, instead of changing everything, I just changed one small thing? So, he started tiny. He told himself he’d do just one push-up a day. That was it. No pressure, no big commitments—just one push-up. It seemed almost too insignificant to matter. But something strange happened. After a few days, one push-up didn’t feel like enough, so he naturally did more. Soon, he was doing ten, then twenty. A few weeks later, he found himself doing a full five-minute workout before bed. Then, one morning, without planning to, he laced up his sneakers and went for a short jog. That small habit sparked something else—he began drinking more water. Then, he started reading just one page of a book before bed. Before he knew it, those tiny habits stacked up. Six months later, Jason had lost weight, felt more energized, and, for the first time in his life, was consistent with his goals. What changed? He stopped trying to change his life overnight. Instead, he let tiny, almost invisible habits lead the way. Big results don’t come from massive changes. They come from the small, almost unnoticeable things we do every day. A single push-up. One extra glass of water. Reading one page. The key isn’t in grand gestures—it’s in the small, quiet decisions that compound over time.
