If you try to exercise on a full or even partly full stomach, there is a greater risk that certain movements or types of movement will lead to increased pressure on the Lower Esophageal Sphincter (LES), which if compromised will let in gastric acid and tissue-damaging pepsin. To prevent this from happening, be sure to exercise only after at least two hours have passed since you’ve eaten, and three hours for larger meals. Depending on your schedule, this may require you to work out on an empty stomach before breakfast. Try to drink 16 ounces of water (about two glasses) upon rising to ensure that your body is hydrated before you start exercising. [2017] - Jonathan Aviv

Lots of companies are busy developing their own ‘social sentiment indicator’ for Bitcoin and other cryptos. One of the first to launch was the Bitcoin Social Sentiment Indicator from the Finatext team developing the Pipster trading app. The financial research company MarketPsych is another pioneer in this area. Its team developed a sentiment metric they call the MarketRisk Index, which quantifies the characteristics of speech on media and news sites, as well as social media. Sentiment really does often start changing before the price changes direction. These tools are very new, experimental and not yet widely used. Once they do become widely used, they may in fact lose some of their predictive power because the potential gains will be arbitraged away. [2019] - Glen Goodman
