Newtopia is a company that uses behavioral science and digital technology to help participants develop sustainable healthy habits proven to prevent, slow or reverse chronic disease. Its personalized experience is delivered through 1:1 engagement with a health coach called an Inspirator to achieve measurable results with participants’ metabolic risk factors and overall wellbeing. This has resulted in a reduction of more than US$1,464 in medical costs per participant in the first year alone.

An Introduction to Newtopia: What You Need to Know

The program starts with a comprehensive health assessment that measures the participant’s health risks and lifestyle behaviors. From here, the Inspirator tailors a custom behavior change program for each participant. This consists of regular contact with the Inspirator via phone, text or online video, in addition to a customized wellness program with measurable goals and milestones.

Workers also fill out an online profile, wear a provided activity tracker and weigh in on a wireless scale, as well as chat with other Newtopia members to get support. Inspirators use data from these sources to create tailored workout and diet regimens for each participant. In addition, Newtopia analyzes an employee’s DNA to identify three specific genes that have been shown in peer-reviewed research to influence weight loss and metabolism.

The exhibition shows that universalism, a principle that is supposedly at the core of human rights, has become a self-fulfilling prophecy in art, as well. Regardless of where artists from around the world are, they are often criticized for not conforming to the West’s ideas of what represents universal art.

Blenders and juicers use sharp blades to turn fruits, vegetables and other foods into drinkable liquids. But while both appliances do the same basic task, they offer different results. So which should you buy?

Juicing machines are designed to extract juice from whole fruits and veggies, separating the liquid from the pulp and skin/peel. The result is clear juice that’s usually free of grit, seeds and peel and has a high water content. But a juicer also removes the fiber from fruits and vegetables, a necessary part of a healthy diet that helps promote digestive health and prevent chronic disease.

Blender and Juicer: Dual-Purpose Appliances for Versatile Cooking

A blender is a more versatile appliance, capable of pulverizing all the ingredients in its path. A powerful blender can make a smoothie and can be programmed to create a smooth consistency for soups, dips or salsas. A high-powered blender can even crush ice and is a great choice for making frozen cocktails or nut butter.

But a blender doesn’t separate the juice from the pulp and skin/peel, which is often discarded as waste. That’s a shame because the pulp contains lots of dietary fiber, a necessary nutrient that’s linked to improved heart health, lower blood pressure and better diabetes prevention. And since producing fruits and vegetables isn’t cheap, it’s a big waste to throw away most of the nutrient-packed solids. That’s why many nutritionists prefer a combination of blending and juicing to maximize the amount of produce we eat on a regular basis.
