4 Alcoholic Drinks That Will Affect Your Stomach The Most
Drinking alcohol can cause stomach issues but if you know what has the worst effects on the stomach then you can avoid this. Strong and concentrated alcoholic drinks will do the most damage to the gastrointestinal tract. Because of this, it’s best to avoid high-proof liquors, fortified wines and high-ABV beers. Some alcoholic drinks can also be high in a specific set of carbohydrates called FODMAPs. If you have an intolerance to FODMAPs then drinking alcohol high in them may cause bloating and stomach pain. So it’s best to avoid drinking rum, port, sherry and sweet wines like Moscato or white zinfandel. The best alcohol for those with a sensitive stomach are drinks low in alcohol and sugar like a light lager and wine spritzers. Vodka and gin are good options for people with a FODMAP intolerance but they do have a higher ABV.
NewsHow To Use Self-Tanners On Dark Skin
In recent months #blackwomentanning has been trending on TikTok. This is because people with dark skin have realized that a little bit of fake tan can help them get glowy and even-toned skin. If you’re unsure where to start then follow these tips. There are several different types of fake tan available such as tanning lotions, mouses and waters. Tanning lotions will gradually build up your tan and maintain its color if applied daily or weekly. Tanning mouse needs to be applied with a mitt, takes at least 6 to 8 hours to develop and needs to be washed off after this time. Tanning water is hydrating and mess-free and should also be applied with a mitt. It will take 4 to 6 hours to develop. You should exfoliate and shave at least 24 hours before applying a self-tanner. You should also rinse off any makeup, deodorant or lotions at least 2 hours before application. Always follow the instructions on the product to avoid getting streaks. The tan will fade in roughly four to five days but if you need to remove it tan removal products are available.
News5 Surprising Benefits Of Doing Planks
Doing a plank may seem easy at first but holding up your entire body without moving for 30 seconds or more is quite difficult. Learning how to do a proper plank is worth it as there are several amazing health benefits. 1. Enhance balance. When doing a plank you are forced to hold yourself up without falling over, so doing them regularly will greatly improve balance. 2. Increase flexibility. The plank helps to stretch and lengthen the hamstrings and the arches and balls of your feet which will improve your range of motion. 3. Help prevent injury. Planks help create a stable core which reduces your risk of injury as the core transfers force to your limbs when moving. 4. Reduce lower back pain. Lower back pain is often caused by poor posture and a weak core. A weak core often shifts the load onto the surrounding muscles to compensate, triggering back pain. 5. Improve posture. The core muscles in the body support the spine. Doing planks helps strengthen these muscles and keep them healthy which in turn, improves posture.

NewsWoman Meets Biological Dad and Sister For The First Time
An adopted woman who spent decades wondering who her biological dad was finally got to share an emotional first hug with him and sister – a moment more than 30 years in the making. The tear-filled embraces took place in Carlsbad, New Mexico, ending Aliesha Bree's years-long journey, which saw her spend many late nights filling notebooks, searching through social media, and looking through genetic testing websites. In the end, Aliesha's breakthrough came through the help of a social media community that are collectively known as "search angels" – people who volunteer their time to help reunite individuals with their biological family members. Aliesha was adopted when she was six days old, and because this was a closed adoption, no details about her biological father were ever revealed to her. For years Aliesha shared a loving relationship with her adopted family but felt a "sense of a void" in her life. Genetic testing proved to be unsuccessful; four notebooks of names she had looked up on social media turned out to be blanks, she thought. But then, when she turned to a search angel group on social media, a volunteer responded and eventually helped connect her with her biological father.

NewsChina: Chinese scientists develop paper-thin batteries for electronic devices
China - Recent Storyline: Chinese scientists develop paper-thin batteries for electronic devices [Voice_over] It looks like a sheet of black paper, but actually, it's a paper-thin battery, developed by Chinese scientists from Northwestern Polytechnical University. The paper-based electrode is made of cellulose carbon nanotubes and other active materials and is expected to be used on next-gen wearable devices and phones. Researchers combined traditional papermaking and battery technology to create a product with excellent electrochemical properties, and that is extremely flexible and thin. [Sound_bite] Bi Jingxuan, PHD student, Institute of Flexible Electronics, Northwestern Polytechnical University: "The material we use include the cellulose materials commonly used in traditional papermaking and some conductive and active materials used in the battery industry, such as graphite or silicon carbon as anode and lithium iron phosphate as positive electrodes. By combining them with some traditional paper-making skills, we made a paper-like electrode." [Sound_bite] Ai Wei, Professor, Institute of Flexible Electronics, Northwestern Polytechnical University: "The flexible paper-based batteries feature high flexibility and bendability, which will promote the innovation of new electronic products. For example, by combining it with the existing flexible display technology, it will promote the development of foldable mobile phones and bendable electronic devices." [Voice_over] According to the research team, it will be fairly straightforward to mass produce the paper-based electrodes since the paper making industry is already firmly established. Researchers say compared to traditional batteries, the new thin and flexible batteries will ultimately be more cost-effective, and eco-friendly. [Restrictions : No access Chinese mainland]
