Isolating one amino acid from our diets isn’t possible as foods naturally contain a mixture of them—reducing one would require a medication or supplement.
Every day, your mind is bombarded—notifications, headlines, endless scrolling. It feels like information overload, but science shows it’s worse: shallow, fragmented content actually changes your brain, training it for distraction.
Stanford research proves the opposite is also true: deep, focused reading boosts blood flow in critical brain regions, building focus and empathy. And studies published in Neurology show that people who read regularly can delay cognitive decline by years.
What you feed your brain defines how it performs. Shallow content trains distraction. Deep, quality reading trains focus and insight.

Shoulder Roll is a simple yet effective exercise for relieving tension, improving shoulder mobility, and promoting better posture.
Step 1: Stand or sit upright with your feet shoulder-width apart and your arms relaxed by your sides. Keep your spine neutral and shoulders relaxed.
Step 2: Slowly lift your shoulders toward your ears in a controlled motion, engaging your upper trapezius muscles.
Step 3: Roll your shoulders back in a circular motion, squeezing your shoulder blades together as you bring them down. Maintain smooth and controlled movement.
Step 4: Perform 10–15 repetitions in a backward direction, then repeat in a forward direction. Complete 2–3 sets as needed.
This exercise helps reduce shoulder stiffness, relieve tension from prolonged sitting, and improve overall shoulder mobility.
