Carbohydrates—especially healthy complex carbs—are an essential part of a well-balanced diet. As one of your body's macronutrients, carbs are important for energy, brain function, and yes, even weight loss. The problem is this: Not only are people miserable when they start giving up carbs (due to a lack of energy), but they're also more likely to gain weight. Sure, giving up carbs can help you drop pounds in the short term. But overall, it's not a healthy or sustainable way to lose weight and keep it off.

Visualization shows face shields may not protect against COVID-19 spread – Live Science

A new visualization shows why face shields and masks with exhalation valves may not be the best barriers for preventing the spread of COVID-19. Although face shields initially block droplets from a simulated cough, small droplets can easily move around the sides of the visor and eventually spread over a large area, according to the visualization, which is detailed in a study published Tuesday (Sept. 1) in the journal Physics of Fluids. For masks with exhalation valves, a stream of droplets passes, unfiltered, through the valve, meaning the mask would in theory do little to hinder the spread of potentially infectious droplets.  In contrast, the researchers previously showed that some cotton face masks reduce the spread of droplets to only a few inches from the face during a simulated...
