Taking a short walk after eating can help keep your blood sugar steady and prevent sudden spikes.

After eating, instead of just sitting down and scrolling your phone, try to take a small 10-minute walk.

It’s a simple habit that helps your health and keeps your body in check.

Have you ever had a cold so bad that your food just tastes like nothing?

You’re eating your favourite meal, maybe beans and dodo, but you can’t smell them, and somehow the taste disappears too.

You could be experiencing something called anosmia, also known as smell blindness.

Anosmia is when you partially or completely lose your sense of smell, and because smell plays a huge role in taste, eating just doesn’t feel the same anymore.

For some people, loss of smell is temporary, like when you have a cold, flu, or sinus infection. For others, it can last longer and be linked to things like aging, certain medications, nasal polyps (growths inside your nose), or even conditions like Parkinson’s or Alzheimer’s.

When it lingers, it can affect how much you enjoy food, which may lead to eating less and even losing weight over time.

So next time you have a cold and suddenly can’t smell or properly taste your food, you might just be experiencing a bit of anosmia.

It usually goes away after a few days once you’re better, and when it does, it helps you appreciate your senses of smell and taste better.

But if your loss of smell persists for weeks, don’t ignore it. It’s important to see a doctor and get it checked out.

It’s all about women’s health on this week’s episode of the Nutrition 101 Quiz.

Watch the video, drop your score in the comment section, and check the notes below for brief explanation of the answers.

Q1: Many women of reproductive age are at risk of iron deficiency because of menstrual blood loss. Low iron can make you feel tired, weak, dizzy, and less focused. Eating iron-rich foods like beans, red meat, liver, sesame seeds, lentils, flaxseeds, and dark leafy vegetables can help boost your iron levels!

Q2: Hormonal shifts before your menstruation start could increase appetite and cravings for sweets and high energy foods.

Q3: A poor diet can throw your blood sugar out of balance, boost stress hormones, and make you overeat later. Over time, this slows your metabolism and leaves you drained. Eating simple, balanced meals can help protect your heart, stabilize blood sugar, and keep your energy steady.

Q4: As you enter your late 30s and 40s, hormonal changes can slow down your metabolism and encourage your body to store more fat around the tummy. This is why it’s important to embrace healthy eating and stay active. Small lifestyle habits can help keep your waistline in check, even as your hormones change.

Healthy Snack Ideas for Eid (3/5)

Stuffed dates are a simple and healthy treat that’s perfect for Eid celebrations.

Soft varieties such as Ajwa dates or Medjool dates work especially well because they are naturally sweet and easy to open and fill.

To prepare them, simply remove the pits and fill the dates with a small portion of avocado mash or peanut butter.

Then top them with almonds, cashew nuts, coconut flakes, or a combination of these for a delicious mix of sweetness, texture, and protein.

If you prefer a slightly firmer, crunchier bite, you can also use harder dates instead of soft ones.

This quick, nutritious snack is easy to prepare and offers a healthier alternative to sugary treats, making it a great addition to your Eid celebrations.

Dark skin patches may sometimes indicate insulin resistance or diabetes.

However, they can also occur for other reasons, so their presence does not necessarily mean you have these conditions.

Obesity is on the menu in this week’s episode of the Nutrition 101 Quiz

Watch the video and check the notes below for further explanation of the answers.

Q1: Obesity is influenced by many factors (as listed in the correct answer), not just diet or willpower. Understanding this helps reduce stigma and supports better health for everyone.

Q2: When you’re under chronic stress, your body releases hormones that can increase appetite, especially for sugary or high-calorie foods, and may also encourage fat storage around your belly.

Q3: Weight gain usually happens gradually. Daily habits, like sugary drinks, snacks, less movement, late-night meals, stress eating, or poor sleep, can quietly add up. While genes and hormones can influence your body, small lifestyle choices over time are often the main factor.

Q4: Crash diets and extreme restrictions may seem like a shortcut, but they often slow down your metabolism, cause muscle loss, trigger hormonal imbalances, and increase cravings, making the weight come back even faster. Consistent, healthy lifestyle habits including balanced meals, regular exercise, and patience are what helps keep excess weight off for good.
