A HEALTHIER YOU Did this woman lose 149 pounds in a year simply by walking? Roxanne Mullenberg weighed 358 pounds when she started a walking challenge with her colleagues back in February of last year. She'd finally found the right dosage for a medication that would help her under-active thyroid function better. She said it felt like the perfect time to start integrating healthier habits into her lifestyle.    That's when the pandemic struck, and Mullenberg found herself working remotely, while helping her 11-year-old navigate home school. Her walking routine had never felt so important, and she increased the duration of those outdoor adventures.    "The walks became such a good mental break and stress release," she said. "It became both a physical and mental benefit when I would do the walks, which was great. Then I'd bring my child out and obviously we'd both have these fun adventures roaming around parks."   She's now down almost 150 pounds since she began this latest fitness experiment.    But did walking alone help her shed the extra weight? And what tips does she offer for those of you about to start health journeys of your own? More Health & Wellness Headlines   What is the best brain-healthy snack, according to neurologists?

Image Source: CNET Scientists have developed a new device that can turn your sweat into battery power.   As far-fetched as that seems, it's true. A small, Band-Aid like strip is said to be able to harness your sweat to generate power. The flexible and thin strip is made to wrap around your finger. After applying, you don't need to do anything else to make it work. The device generates power on its own as you sweat, and can even function properly as you sleep.   "By using the sweat on the fingertip, which flows out naturally regardless of where you are or what you're doing, this technology provides a net gain in energy with no effort from the user," said Joseph Wang, co-author of the paper about the invention that was published in the Joule journal.   What else is known about this groundbreaking technology, and will the innovative device be able to power some of your favorite electronics?

It's a common misconception that luxury has more to do with net worth than it does about happiness and fulfillment. Sure, having a high disposable income can definitely make life easier. Still, it does not solve broken relationships, it cannot cure illnesses, and it cannot bring people back to life.   The truth is, finding inner peace and happiness with your own life and surroundings is what it truly means to live a luxurious lifestyle. It's a feeling that you are living your absolute best life and nothing less! Here are ten ways you could live a more luxurious lifestyle, starting with your mindset.  More Luxury Headlines   35 affordable luxuries you will want to treat yourself to How to make your bedroom feel more luxurious THE ANIMAL KINGDOM Rare footage shows a mama bear with her 5 adorable cubs Video Source: WMUR-TV / YouTube Black bears give birth typically between January and February with usually one or two cubs in a single litter.   While having up to 4 cubs in a single litter is not completely unheard of, it is pretty unusual.   Imagine one woman's surprise when she came across a mother bear with not four, but five adorable cubs trailing after her.    The adorable cubs can be seen clinging to a big tree together and hanging out on its branches while the mother bear watches below.
