Taco Bell’s menu is packed with so many savory items it’s something of an event when a sweet treat drops, like the new Dulce de Leche Cinnabon Delights. This limited time-only dessert combines Cinnabon’s sweetness and Taco Bell’s flair, resulting in a sweet, caramelly Dulce de Leche filling tucked inside a warm donut hole and dusted in a salted caramel coating. I got to try the Dulce de Leche early and admit, as someone who doesn’t have much of a sweet tooth, they’re really nice—the perfect size for a small little bite and not overwhelmingly sweet. “I got to try…
Can yoga actually improve bone density?If you ask Google, you’ll find all sorts of resources saying yes—yoga is an effective method for building bone density and preventing osteoporotic fractures, like hip or femur breaks from falls.A search for “Yoga for Osteoporosis” pulls up thousands of hits for books, programs, and videos promising to help you build better bones with a low-impact yoga practice.

Getting older doesn’t mean losing your edge. Some of the simplest strength tests can reveal just how capable your body still is. One of the best? A 45-second plank. Holding a solid plank challenges your core, shoulders, and even your mind. If you can maintain this position for nearly a minute, your strength and stability are better than most people your age. Why does this matter? Core strength goes far beyond looking good. It supports your spine, improves your posture, protects your back from injury, and gives you the stability you need for everyday tasks. From picking up groceries to…

A commercial gym or a room full of weight machines to get lean, muscular, and summer-ready is not a requirement. All you need is a dedicated space at home and a few pieces of equipment to get it on. If you have a pair of dumbbells, a kettlebell, resistance bands, and a bench, plus a no-nonsense work ethic, you’re in business. You’ll train four days a week, with three strength workouts and one high-intensity conditioning session. The other three days? Active recovery, walking, or mobility to keep your body moving and ready to perform. Sounds good, so far? Then this…
You know the classic scene. Someone on the floor, crunching away, hoping that hundreds of reps will finally reveal a six-pack. Here’s a dose of reality for gymgoers: crunches aren’t all they’re cracked up to be. Most traditional ab exercises fail to deliver the kind of strength, stability, and definition you need after 40. The older you get, the more critical it becomes to train your core smarter and in various ways. Your core is the entire network of muscles that keep your spine safe, your balance sharp, and your movements strong. I like to define your core as the…

More specifically, “it can take around a month,” Mamina Turegano, MD, board-certified dermatologist at Sanova Dermatology in New Orleans, tells SELF—sometimes, “up to three months.” But in our rush to fade stubborn hyperpigmentation ASAP, dermatologists say we often make mistakes that make those very marks even more noticeable.To understand what makes dark spots so persistent, it helps to know what’s going on under the surface. On a basic level, those brown, red, or purplish marks show up when…
When you’re trying to meet weight loss goals, staying consistent, sticking to a plan and watching what you consume is key. While many focus on food, what you drink also makes a difference. If you’re careful about your meals, but load up on sugary drinks, that impacts how much weight you’ll lose. “If your goal is to shrink your waist and reduce body fat, it’s not about eating or drinking less, it’s about finding smarter drinks,” says Terry Tateossian, an ISSA Nutritionist and ISSA Personal Trainer, IIN Hormone Specialist, IIN Emotional Eating Coach, and the Founder of THOR: The House…
