Calcium pyruvate is a substance that occurs naturally and is made in your body during digestion and metabolism. This nutrient’s main role is to make energy and fuel your cells.

A study done by the University of Pittsburgh found that obese women lost 48 percent more fat when following a calorie-restricted diet with supplemental calcium pyruvate than those women following the diet alone. It appears that calcium pyruvate can get into the fat cells and help them burn energy more effectively, promoting more weight loss.
Calcium pyruvate occurs naturally in foods like red apples, red grapes, red wine, and cheeses. It can also be taken in supplemental form. If supplementing with calcium pyruvate, take 1,000 milligrams on an empty stomach before each meal up to three times per day. Taking too much of this supplement may cause nausea, however.

600 foot high, glass-bottom bridge

‘You won’t want to look down': China’s terrifying 600 foot high, glass-bottom bridge

Six-hundred feet above Shiniuzhai National Geological Park, China’s new glass-bottomed suspension bridge creaked and swayed in the wind as tourists made their way across, very slowly, some clinging to the guardrail or to one another, others crawling on all fours.
It’s a little scary, which is why perhaps it’s named Haohan Qiao, which translates to “Brave Men’s Bridge.” Architecture blogger Matt Hickman had another name for it, the “bridge I’d rather not cross when I come to it ….the biggest, baddest and most immobilizing glass-bottomed suspension bridge in all of China”
The structure, which opened to the public last week in China’s Hunan province, is 980 feet long suspended between two sheer cliffs. “Walkers see clear, stomach-churning views” of the ground below, reports the South China Morning Post. “If you’re brave enough to cross it, you won’t want to look down.”
