We’ve likely all been there. Overflowing inboxes at work, household chores piling up at home or overbooked social calendars can make you feel drained, overwhelmed and exhausted. Burnout affects so many of us. A survey by Indeed found burnout on the rise, with over half (52%) of respondents feeling symptoms. Similarly, a May 2024 Research Series found almost half (44%) of respondents suffered from burnout, while the 2023 Work in America Survey indicated 57% experienced negative impacts associated with burnout. Burnout can affect anyone, as I experienced firsthand when balancing a remote job and a brand-new baby. I always found…
Not everyone who is fat is unfit. But to what extend does staying active protect your life when you are losing the battle of the bulge? Research in this area continues to show that carrying extra pounds can lead to health problems, but no matter your BMI, those that exercise will live longer. A new scientific review published in the British Journal of Sports Medicine and carried out by researchers at the University of Viginia School of Education and Human Development wanted to find out if exercise provided a significant benefit to people across the full spectrum of Body Mass…
Fast-food chains are a major guilty pleasure, even for professional chefs. But sometimes, there can be a little too much guilt and not enough pleasure. Just as there are certain things you shouldn’t order at a burger joint or pizzeria, the same goes for sandwich chains. According to pros, it’s important to hone in on select menu items when patronizing a sandwich chain while avoiding others. And that means zeroing in on freshness. While chefs are not above ordering sandwiches off fast-food menus, there are some hard and fast rules they follow. One big taboo, according to Brian Tsao, chef/owner…
Every hair texture and type comes with its own set of troubles, from tackling frizz to brittleness. Hair loss, however, is one concern that can affect any hair type. About one-third of women experience hair loss at one point, while around two-thirds of postmenopausal women struggle with hair thinning, according to a Harvard Health review. Fortunately, there are many ways to treat hair loss, starting with topical treatments like hair growth oils. Among the bounty of options, Nécessaire’s Scalp Serum is a shopper-loved pick and has the approval of the National Eczema Association, meaning it’s free of any potentially irritating…
By Leo Babauta When I was younger, I had a hard time doing some basic things like: Paying bills Keeping the house clean Running errands Doing yard work Doing car and house maintenance Taking care of my health Stay on top of work tasks I always knew that I “should” do these things, but they felt like too much back then. Avoiding taking care of things always left me feeling like my life was a mess. These days … I’m not at all perfect at any of the above … but I’m so much better at it. And it leaves…
Reality-star-turned-pro-wrestler, Paola Mayfield will make her television debut for the Women Of Wrestling (WOW) promotion early next year, and is currently prepping her body for the ongoing rigors of the ring. Here, the former 90 Day Fiancé star shares one of the sessions she uses in her bid to dominate the wrestling arena, and as you’ll see, she is willing to put her whole body on the line. There’s no getting around it. Pro wrestling is a tough business. The ring is harder than it looks, the ropes are tighter than they seem, and each opponent takes more lifting that…
No matter how you flip it, burgers are delicious. However, they can taste differently based on freshness and how you cook them. For example, many places, such as Shake Shack, use a flat-top griddle to cook their burgers. Others grill theirs using an open flame. Both ways are delicious, but the latter is the way to go if you prefer a distinctly smoky flavor. From popular fast-food chains like Burger King, which has been cooking its burgers over an open flame since day one, to other restaurants that offer a long list of charbroiled burger options, here are six fast-food…

To drink or not to drink … that’s the question. Well, it turns out that more and more women in midlife are answering “yes” to that question. In fact, binge-drinking – a drinking behavior we have long associated with young frat boys – is on the rise among women in midlife.As a health and fitness coach who works with many women in midlife, I see firsthand how many in this population are busting their middle-aged asses to do all the things to stay healthy – lifting heavy weights, cranking out intervals, studying food labels, buying organic, booking spa treatments, paying…
