Intermittent fasting is a diet plan that switches between fasting and regularly eating.

It works by prolonging the time between eating, so your body finishes burning calories and then begins to burn fat.

This type of eating not only helps you manage your weight but can prevent or even reverse some forms of disease. Experts say many people find intermittent eating more manageable and might stick with it longer than traditional dieting.

While some people use it to lose weight, the biggest benefit is that intermittent fasting seems to help stabilize insulin levels, said Dr. Mahmud Kara, the founder of KaraMD, a website promoting functional medicine.

When you dont eat, your body doesnt have carbohydrates to break down. If there are no carbohydrates, there is no glucose in your blood. And if there is no elevated blood glucose, there is no need for your pancreas to send out insulin, he said.

Intermittent fasting gives your pancreas a break and allows your body the opportunity to balance itself back out, Kara said. Make sure you consider how much you are eating. Its easy to eat too little (or too much).

One of the better-known intermittent fasting diets is the 5:2 plan.

Under this plan, you eat what you want for 5 days each week and then limit yourself to 500 calories on the other 2 days.

In a recent study conducted at Queen Mary University of London, researchers said the results of 5:2 intermittent fasting are similar in effectiveness to traditional dieting.

They also found, however, that people generally preferred intermittent fasting and were more willing to stick with it.

The study included 300 adults with obesity 100 received information on conventional dieting, 100 received information on intermittent fasting, and 100 received information on intermittent fasting along with 6 weeks of support.

The researchers followed participants for a year, noting weight loss. At the end of the study, they noted:

While weight loss was similar in the groups, the number of people who lost weight increased with intermittent fasting.

Researchers said the two groups who used the 5:2 diet had a more positive experience than people using the traditional diet.

This could be an essential factor for doctors recommending weight loss and weight management programs because they might be more likely to remain committed to the diet.

The best news is that there is no one-way to do it, Kara said. Depending on your schedule, personality, and lifestyle, you can pick a fasting protocol that best suits your needs.

No matter which type you choose, its important to remember to eat healthy foods during your chosen eating window, he said. These fasts wont work if you choose meals that are full of processed foods.

Besides the 5:2 plan, other types of intermittent fasting diets include:

There are numerous health benefits of intermittent fasting.

Intermittent fasting can lower cholesterol, reduce liver fat, enhance glucose management, and improve blood pressure, in addition to reducing body weight. Enhanced motor coordination, enhanced endurance, and better sleep have also been linked to intermittent fasting, Shauna Hatcher, MSPH, a certified nutritionist at The National Wellness and Public Health Network, told Healthline.

It can also lead to a longer life, a sharper mind, and protect against type 2 diabetes, heart disease, neurodegenerative disorders caused by age, inflammatory bowel disease, and some types of cancer.

It can take 2 to 4 weeks for your body to adjust to your new way of eating. During this time, you might experience headaches, said Hatcher.

Other possible side effects include digestive issues, such as nausea, diarrhea, constipation, and bloating. Low blood sugar caused by intermittent fasting might make you tired and weak. You might notice sleep disruptions, resulting in fatigue during the day, she said.

Experts say there are some groups of people who should not participate in intermittent fasting:

As helpful as intermittent fasting is, its not for everyone, said Kara. If you have a history of eating disorders or are taking medication that cannot be taken on an empty stomach, be sure to talk with your doctor or nutritionist before starting. The type of food you eat is equally, if not more important, than the time of day or hours you consume the food.

While it may seem like the International Space Station is just now fully hitting its stride as far as scientific output and the ability for crew rotations from several different spacecraft, the ISS has been operating with astronauts on board for over 21 years. Knowing the modules and entire physical structure cannot endure the long-term effects of the harsh space environment forever, NASAs Office of the Inspector General has issued a new report outlining the agencys plans to keep the space station in orbit until 2030, and to replace it with one or more commercial space stations.

Anticipating its retirement, NASA has committed to replacing the ISS with one or more commercially owned and operated space destinations, the report says, emphasizing that they hope at least one commercial station could be operational by 2028. This would provide a period of two years of overlap and handover to avoid a substantial gap in on-orbit science investigations. Such a gap would result in the delay of deep space human exploration missions, the report says.

Even though the retirement of the ISS is currently scheduled for 2024, NASA and the international partners have indicated that the ISSs operational life could be extended to 2030.

The Station was designed with a life expectancy of 15 years with a safety factor of two, meaning it could last 30 years after the 1998 launch of its first segments, the report says, adding that NASA is optimistic that the Stations life can be extended to 2030.

But structural wear and tear is becoming evident. NASA and Roscosmos are investigating the cause and long-term impacts of cracks and leaks that were recently discovered in the Stations Service Module Transfer Tunnel, which connects the Service Module to one of eight docking ports on the Station. Causes being explored include structural fatigue, internal damage, external damage, and material defects.

Notably, the report says an updated analysis of the structural longevity of other segments as well should be done because the leaks were caused by cracks that models suggest should not exist. This would suggest the possibility of an earlier-than-projected obsolescence for at least one element of the Station.

The ISS costs about $3 billion a year, roughly a third of NASAs annual human space flight budget. Commercial companies say they can provide brand new facilities for a better price, making for a better investment for NASA.

NASA says the Artemis program, aimed at returning humans to the Moon and ultimately landing astronauts on Mars, is not feasible without continued human health research and technology demonstrations being conducted on the ISS and its eventual replacement.

Therefore, in looking ahead, NASA announced today they have signed agreements with three U.S. companies to develop designs of space stations and other commercial destinations in space. They agency said they want to enable a robust, American-led commercial economy in low-Earth orbit.

The companies are Blue Origin for their Orbital Reef space station design, receiving $130 million, Nanoracks LLC, for $160 million, Northrop Grumman Systems Corporation for $125.6 million.

NASA seeks to maintain an uninterrupted U.S. presence in low-Earth orbit by transitioning from the International Space Station to other platforms, NASA said in a press release. These awards will stimulate U.S. private sector development of commercial, independent space stations that will be available to both government and private-sector customers.

In early 2020, NASA announced a Plan for Commercial LEO Development, which they hope will foster economic development in LEO and to drive innovation. At that time, they announced the selection of Axiom Space of Houston to provide a commercial habitation module for the ISS.

Its great that NASA and the other international partners are planning ahead to keep an operational space station in orbit for the long term. But ultimately, whether in response to an emergency or at the end of its useful service life, NASA acknowledged in the report that there needs to be a plan decommission and deorbit the ISS. This will be technically complex, as well as costly, requiring international participation and a critical decision on timing.

[Herald Interview] Do you have a best friend at the office? Human connection crucial for work efficiency, says behavioral scientist

Jon Levy, behavioral scientist and creator of the Influencers Dinner (Jon Levy)

After COVID-19 forced many aspects of our lives to become more isolated, the world is making a gradual move to return to how we used to be. Commuting to work has resumed and team lunches have been revived, although people still wear their masks and transparent acrylic panels have been erected between people at the tables.

Although South Korea kicked off its living with COVID-19 scheme with eased social distancing rules on Nov. 1, still today many are suffering from social isolation, less contact and a lack of physical touch. Adapting to the changing world, many are feeling lost on how to create more connectedness in their lives.

Jon Levy, a human behavioral scientist from New York, told The Korea Herald the ongoing pandemic has impacted well-being, happiness and longevity because people are missing out on meaningful relations.

People are really stressed out. People are stuck at home, some people are liking it, some arent. And there are many people leaving the company. So companies ask how do we create a work culture that makes people want to be -- how do we develop their relationships -- at work? he said during an interview in Seoul. Levy has worked with global clients including Google, Microsoft and Samsung on work culture crises.

There was an interesting study that looked at (whether employees) have a best friend at work. If you do have a best friend at work, what is that impact on your stay? he said.

Levy said there is a concrete link between having a best friend at work and the amount of effort employees expand in their job, and thats why companies should foster deep and meaningful relationships at work.

According to Gallup, having a best friend at work can be key to engagement and happiness at work.

A 2018 Gallup study showed that women who strongly agree they have a best friend at work are more than twice as likely to be engaged with their work (63 percent) compared with women who say otherwise (29 percent), which leads to the production of higher quality work, better well-being and less likelihood of getting injured on the job.

Levy said working from home due to the pandemic has hurt the process of developing influence, gaining trust and building community.

He said working from home has left people with no transition time.

When I commute, I listen to podcasts, read a book, increase my knowledge and emotionally process my day. If I dont commute anymore, I go straight from frustrating meeting at the end of the day to talking to my family, and thats really tough, he said.

Also for brand new employees, working from home can be frustrating, he said.

Let say Im brand new to the company and the only people I would know is five people Im on calls with. Theres no mentorship, no understanding the company, no necessity to develop other skills, besides specific things Im being told, over the long term. That would leave a huge impact to ones career.

More than a decade ago, Levy created what he calls the Influencers Dinner. At first glance, this secret dining experience may sound like a typical social gathering, just without the names revealed.

Ive hosted 240 dinners across 10 cities in three countries inviting over 2,000 people. I spent most of my adult life convincing people to come to my home, cook me dinner, wash dishes and clean the floor for me, said Levy.

But he had one rule -- people were not allowed to share their names to make everything equal.

If I see a big companys CEO or famous celebrity or Nobel laureate, I may think that Im not so important. So I wanted to make everyone feel just as important so they can connect as a friend, said Levy.

Getting people to cook together is closely related to the Ikea effect, according to Levy.

There is a weird human behavior characteristic called Ikea effect. We care more about Ikea furniture because we had to assemble it. Anything we put more effort into, we care about it more. People cook together, they care about their food and people, he said.

The secret is, we give people a very limited amount of time and a project to do -- too hard to do one person by himself -- that both have to put in effort. What happens is you feel connected to each other.

According to Levy, the art and science of creating deep and meaningful connections with anyone, regardless of their stature or celebrity, lies in the power of community.

Joy shared is double, suffering shared is half -- each of us have different skill sets and expertise. Nobody is self-made anymore. Expecting us to do things alone doesnt work. People have to depend on others, said Levy. Their wisdoms, experience, skills and talents, have a profound impact on us.

Kareem Campbell is a living legend. His style on and off the board has inspired countless people all over the world. Theres always been a freshness about him, and throughout the span of his three-decade career (still very much in motion), he continues to captivate the masses with a fresh approach and timeless technique. He's remained confident yet humble, adapted with the times, and continued to be a trendsetter. I had the pleasure of chatting with him as he brought me up to speed with all of his latest happenings, even remaining casual when mentioning that he was inducted into the Skateboarding Hall of Fame earlier that day. He indulged me with how it all started, went deep into my 90's reminiscing, and fascination with that era of World Industries, especially the Trilogy video, all the way up to Tony Hawks Pro Skater, the relaunch of Axion Footwear and his Ghetto Bird podcast. We covered a lot of ground, so settle in and get comfortable.
