The ketogenic diet, often shortened to “keto,” has taken the wellness world by storm. But with all the hype, it’s important to understand what keto is, how it works, and if it’s truly beneficial for everyone. At its core, keto is a low-carb, high-fat eating plan. By drastically reducing carbohydrates (think bread, pasta, sugary drinks), the body enters a metabolic state called ketosis. In this state, the body starts relying on fat for fuel instead of its usual source, glucose (which comes from carbohydrates). This fat breakdown produces ketones, which the body can use as an alternative energy source. Essentially,…

I live in a good neighborhood. I live in a good community. It wouldn’t happen here, and then it did,” she said. Now, Rodriguez works with Students Demand Action. The…

Former President Donald Trump urged gun owners to vote in the 2024 election as he addressed thousands of members of the National Rifle Association, which officially endorsed him just before Trump took the stage at their annual meeting in Texas on Saturday. “We’ve got to get gun owners to vote,” Trump said. “I think you’re a rebellious bunch.

Another attempt by the city of Kyle, Texas, to break the world record for the largest gathering of people with one name fell short Saturday despite 706 Kyles of all ages turning up at a park in the suburbs of Austin. According to Guinness World Records, the crown is currently held by a town in Bosnia that, in 2017, brought together 2,325 people named Ivan. It’s not the first time the Kyles have come gunning for the Ivans. Last year, the official count at what…
