Alas Pilipinas Women falter vs. Vietnam to end dream run in AVC Nations Cup with silver
Alas Pilipinas Women's fairytale run at the 2025 AVC Women's Volleyball Nations Cup ended with a silver medal after they fell to Vietnam, 25-15, 25-17, 25-14 in the championship round on Saturday at the Dong anh Gymnasium in Hanoi, Vietnam. The Filipinas simply had no answer to the tandem of Bich Tuyen and Tran Thi Thanh Thuy as the hosts, who dropped just one set throughout the tournament, turned the game into a one-sided affair to claim their third straight title. The Filipinas, meanwhile, capped off their campaign at second place but with plenty of lessons moving forward. Tuyen led the way with 20 points anchored on 16 attacks, two blocks and two aces while Thuy, famously called T4, tallied 17 markers on 13 attacks, three blocks, and one ace as they defended their home turf. T4 and Tuyen wasted no time making their presence felt as they sent Vietnam to a 16-8 lead in the opening set before T4 wrapped it up with back-to-back hits from the open. Alas kept it close early in the second set with Bella Belen tying things up at 10-all. But the reigning champions were quick to retaliate, answering with a pivotal 11-3 rampage — a stretch that saw the hosts unloading two aces from Tuyen to create a 21-13 lead. World no. 28 Vietnam refused to look back since then as they pulled away for good in Set 3. T4 soared from the pipe and punished Alas' floor defense to send Vietnam to a 14-7 cushion while another Tuyen and T4 took turns to put the punctuation in what has been a dominant showing from the hosts. No Alas player managed to reach a double-digit mark with Alyssa Solomon churning out eight points while Shaina Nitura, who was injected late in their comeback attempt, finished with six markers.

Why weight loss can be so hard with thyroid issues — and what actually works
We see a lot of patients who come in with a similar problem of not being able to lose weight. Even after regularly exercising and maintaining a diet, they face difficulty in losing weight. In cases like this, we suspect the reason to be thyroid. In women, hypothyroidism can be a major reason why people may end up thinking that weight loss is impossible. But that is not the case, it is just that the usual 'eat less, move more' advice might not be enough. The T3 (triiodothyronine) and T4 (thyroxine) hormones are which are very important for controlling the metabolic rate as well as the use of energy. These are released by our Thyroid glands. Hence, when it lags, the metabolism drops and you burn very few calories. People who suffer from hypothyroidism might feel cold, fatigued and lethargic in addition to gaining weight or finding it impossible to lose weight. The symptoms are often subtle and weight gain happens mainly due to fluid retention, accumulation of fat and very little calorie burn. Why weight loss feels impossible Thyroid-related weight issues aren't just about a slower metabolism. There are other factors at play as well: Fatigue: Hypothyroidism can leave you too exhausted to exercise consistently. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Buy Brass Idols - Handmade Brass Statues for Home & Gifting Luxeartisanship Buy Now Undo Mood changes: Depression or low motivation, common in thyroid disorders, can derail healthy habits. Hormonal imbalance: Thyroid hormones are mainly involved with the production of insulin, cortisol, and sex hormones. These are in turn responsible for maintaining an individual's appetite, fat storage and weight. So, reduced thyroid hormones strike an imbalance in these as well. Muscle loss: Slowed-down thyroid glands can also lead to muscle breakdown which in turn reduces the basal metabolic rate of the body, thus causing the rate of calories that our body usually burns to come down. What's especially frustrating is that even after starting thyroid medication, many people don't immediately lose weight. That's because medication stabilizes hormone levels but doesn't automatically reset your metabolism. It still requires a strategic, consistent approach. What actually works for weight loss with thyroid issues The silver lining in this situation is that weight loss with thyroid problems is possible — but it requires a more informed and tailored strategy. Get your thyroid properly treated First and foremost, it is essential to consult a doctor and make sure that your thyroid levels are balanced. For this, synthetic thyroid hormone is recommended so that the TSH (Thyroid-Stimulating Hormone) comes down to the required range. This, however, does not work for everyone and some people profit from getting their free T3 and T4 levels balanced. Prioritize strength training Practicing strength training at least 2-3 times a week can negate the effects of hypothyroidism. Strength training helps the body develop lean and strong muscle mass. It also boosts metabolism and contributes to long-term weight control goals. Choose the right carbs There are specific forms of thyroid disease that are autoimmune in nature, like Hashimoto's Thyroiditis. People suffering from such conditions maybe prone to blood sugar imbalance. Hence, following a strict diet consisting of fiber and complex carbohydrates as well as one that is low in processed foods and sugar can help to control insulin levels and support weight loss. Manage stress and sleep There are certain hormones in the body that can worsen the condition even more. One of them is the stress hormone, cortisol. It can interfere with the function of the thyroid gland and make losing weight difficult. Engaging in destressing activities is the solution for it. Getting at least 7-8 hours of sleep every night, practicing relaxing techniques like reading a book or yoga and avoiding overexercising are a few ways of not letting cortisol affect the thyroid gland. Address nutrient deficiencies For a healthy functioning of the gland, iodine, selenium, zinc, vitamin D, and B12 are a few of the major nutrients. A deficiency in any of these can impair hormone production and energy metabolism. It's worth checking your levels and considering supplements if needed, under your doctor's supervision. It surely is hard to lose weight, especially if you are suffering from hypothyroidism. It's not about extreme diets or working out until you drop. It's about understanding what your body needs and giving it the right kind of support. Correct diagnosis and recognising the type of thyroid disorder that the individual suffers from is important, marking the first step towards recovery. The right medical support, appropriate diet and fitness plan are what will bring about change. Your thyroid doesn't have to define your body or your health journey. You're still in charge and every small step counts.

Festival lovers hoping to attend the rebranded festival next year can register their interest here. Registering will mean you are the first to hear about pre-sales and artist updates. T4 on the Beach was initially called Pop Beach and was held in Great Yarmouth from 2003 to 2005.

Here's how to do festival looks on a budget - and save the planet In anticipation of the event, Visit Weston posted: "You're going to absolutely LOVE THIS! "Summer Fest On The Beach is a brand new festival launching in 2026, right here on the beach in Weston-super-Mare! "The excitement around what this event could mean to our town is incredible.
