Basketball is a great game that is played by millions of young people in the United States and around the world.?? Playing basketball fosters the development of peer relationships, self-esteem, leadership qualities, and physical health.

However, an overemphasis on early competitive success has led to several well-recognized issues that exist across youth sports, including in youth basketball:

Pressure to begin high-intensity training at?a young age
Early single-sport specialization
Frequent and multiple competitive event scheduling
Increased risk for injury, burnout, and disengagement from sports

Segment Three:?Karen Malkin from Karen Malkin Health Counseling?discusses The Next Hot Trends in Food.?You may not have heard of moringa or regenerative grazing yet. But there?s a good chance you will before long.

Not too far in the future, when you reach for a healthy drink, it might be full of water from a cactus.

Your main course at dinner might be a pear-like fruit from Southeast Asia that does a remarkable job of imitating meat. The next candy bar your children bite into might be infused with mushrooms that help cut down on the sugar needed to sweeten the treat. And their breakfast cereal might be colored with algae instead of chemicals.

Why the wave of exotic delights? Nutrition science?and customers? rapidly changing tastes?are forcing the food business to search ever farther afield for new edibles.

?Everybody knows standards change?fat was bad, for instance, until the big no-nos became carbs and gluten?and each time they do, a rash of new products appear that claim to be packed with good stuff and free of things that cause harm.
