It's in Portuguese, but the news says that the injury the Brazil player suffered is the same as Neymar's.
ACL is very common among athletes, although recovery takes months.

Knee injuries are very serious, and many never recover from what I understand
Yes, it's true, I have an extra worry when my children fall or injure themselves near their knees.
Once my 9 year old son was on the top bunk and he forgot he was on the top (the bunk had just been added).
He fell and complained a lot about his leg and my fear was his knee. Thank God he didn't have any fractures. But the wound was only purple. Ice helped ease the pain.
Yeah I can imagine.. Glad to hear it wasn't that serious
Thank you friend, but you know, right? Kids being kids hahaha...
Falling from the top bunk can be pretty scary, so good thing he got lucky. But in general, yep I know what you mean 😅 My brother has three kids and they get into all sorts of things
Hahaha... 3 years being like this shows how healthy he is. That's good to know.
He is a year older than my daughter.

I think he misunderstood the exercise 🤣
HAha 😂😂😂 oh yes..
9500 steps today, no workout. Tomorrow, strength training
Good job! Your day was pretty busy by the looks of it.
I have yet to follow @khantaimur's recommendation, but I will! Past week has been pretty crazy. Anyways, here's a repost in case others are interested:

Habits need time to build, soon, hopefully.

Welcome to another day of fitness motivation! Yesterday we handed out the first Actifit-sponsored participation reward. Who will be today's winner?
Yesterday I walked appriximately 10k steps and did a 50 minute yoga session. That yoga session was much needed -I haven't done it in months!
Do you generally sleep well and enough? Recent experiences has taught me a hard lesson in that regard.
Today's Minpump episode is about the effects of inflammation in your body. Summary below ⏬
Key Points:
The discussion focuses on inflammation, its role in the body, and the importance of balancing omega-6 to omega-3 ratios.
Dr. Cabral explains that inflammation is a natural process in the body, but chronic inflammation can lead to various health issues.
The average American has an omega-6 to omega-3 ratio of about 18:1, while a healthier ratio is closer to 3:1 or 4:1.
Omega-6 fatty acids, particularly when oxidized, can lead to increased inflammation, while omega-3 fatty acids help reduce inflammation.
The discussion highlights the importance of balancing these fatty acids through diet and supplementation.
They review inflammation test results for the podcast hosts, noting improvements in most cases after implementing dietary changes and omega-3 supplementation.
Dr. Cabral recommends eating fish 3-4 times a week and/or supplementing with 2-3 grams of omega-3s daily for most people.
The conversation touches on the benefits of omega-3s for muscle building, metabolism, and overall health.
They discuss the importance of getting omega-3s from animal sources (like fish) rather than plant sources, as the latter are not as easily converted by the body.
The quality of meat (grass-fed vs. grain-fed) and fish (wild-caught vs. farmed) is discussed, with emphasis on how the diet of animals affects their fatty acid profile.
Dr. Cabral offers a free inflammation test to 100 listeners per month through his website.
Recommendations:
The overall message emphasizes the importance of managing inflammation through diet and supplementation for overall health, performance, and longevity.
5 Intermittent Fasting MISTAKES Causing Weight Gain. Summary below ⏬
Intermittent fasting has gained popularity as a weight loss strategy, but according to fitness experts, it may not be the miracle solution many believe it to be. In fact, there are several reasons why intermittent fasting can potentially lead to weight gain and other health issues.
The first mistake people make is approaching intermittent fasting solely for aesthetic reasons. Historically, fasting was practiced for spiritual growth and detachment, not weight loss. When used primarily for changing one's appearance, it can lead to an unhealthy relationship with food and ultimately fail as a long-term strategy.
Intermittent fasting often makes it challenging to meet daily protein requirements. Experts recommend consuming about 1 gram of protein per pound of target body weight, which becomes difficult when limiting eating to a short window. Adequate protein intake is crucial for preserving muscle mass, boosting metabolism, and promoting fat loss.
Restricting food intake to a small window can encourage binge eating when it's time to eat. This behavior can lead to consuming more calories overall and potentially gaining weight. The quality of food choices may also suffer as people try to fit all their daily calories into a shorter period.
Fasting can be a form of stress on the body, particularly for individuals who are already dealing with high levels of stress in their lives. It can lead to increased cortisol production and other stress hormones, which may contribute to weight gain, especially around the midsection. For people exhibiting signs of HPA axis dysfunction (formerly known as adrenal fatigue), fasting can exacerbate their symptoms.
When the eating window arrives, there's a tendency to consume less nutritious, highly palatable foods. This behavior can lead to nutrient deficiencies and, over time, an increase in calorie intake as the body adapts to consuming large amounts of processed foods in a short period.
The experts argue that the initial weight loss often seen with intermittent fasting is primarily due to overall calorie restriction, not any magical properties of fasting itself. Moreover, this approach can be harder to sustain long-term compared to other, more balanced eating strategies.
They also criticize the fitness industry for promoting intermittent fasting as an easy solution, often paired with the idea that you can eat whatever you want within the eating window. This oversimplification can lead to poor food choices and ultimately, weight gain.
In conclusion, while intermittent fasting may work for some individuals, it's not a one-size-fits-all solution for weight loss. The potential risks, including nutrient deficiencies, disordered eating patterns, and increased stress on the body, should be carefully considered. Instead, focusing on a balanced diet with adequate protein intake, spread throughout the day, may be a more sustainable and healthier approach to weight management and overall wellness.
