Face-to-face or Zoom meetings?
premium
In today’s digital age, virtual meetings through platforms like Zoom have become an integral part of the business world. However, despite tech advancements, I believe that in-person meetings continue to play a crucial role in business.
One of the key advantages of face-to-face meetings is the ability to establish deeper human connections. In-person interactions allow for reading body language, facial expressions, and tone of voice, which helps in better understanding emotions and intentions. This level of non-verbal communication is often lost or diluted

Why the keto diet works for me
premium
I’ve long been a fan of the ketogenic, or keto, diet. I’ve been on this low-carb, high-fat eating plan for years. And it really works for me.
The main thrust behind it is to slash carbohydrate intake and substitute it with fat, which puts the body in a metabolic state known as ketosis.
When you put in fewer carbs, the body starts to look for an alternative fuel source. In ketosis, the liver converts fat into ketones, which are molecules that serve as an energy source for the brain and body. By relying on ketones instead of glucose
