Some days, lunch is a proper meal. Other days, it is whatever you can find between meetings, errands and the moment you realize you have been running on coffee since 8 a.m. Keeping a few genuinely satisfying snacks in your bag can prevent that very specific kind of hunger that makes a vending-machine pastry look like a sound nutritional decision. The best options are portable, made with thoughtful ingredients and substantial enough to carry you through until your next actual meal. From protein-packed chips and sprouted nuts to a better bar and something sweet, these are the healthy snacks worth…
For Dermot Kennedy, creating music and performing it are two very different experiences. The Irish singer-songwriter has built a career around emotionally charged songs and powerful live performances, but behind the music is an increasingly deliberate approach to fitness, recovery, and maintaining his physical health. With his third studio album, The Weight of the Woods, now released and a world tour underway, Kennedy is balancing the demands of life on the road with a training routine that helps him perform at his best. Much of that preparation comes back to running. Kennedy recently partnered with Brooks Running for the DK5K…
Bat wings bothering you after 60? These 3 chair moves smooth them in 21 days. After almost 40 years working as a personal trainer, and the last 25 as co-founder of TRAINFITNESS, the UK’s favorite fitness education company, upper-arm sagging is one of the most common complaints I hear from women in their 60s. Three chair exercises, done consistently for 21 days, produce a visible change in the back of the arm that most people didn’t think was possible without weights or a gym. Bat wings, the loose skin and soft tissue on the back of the upper arm, are…
Below is an approximation of this video’s audio content. To see any graphs, charts, graphics, images, and quotes to which Dr. Greger may be referring, watch the above video. There’s no cure for tinnitus yet, but been found, effective and noninvasive management strategies are available. We covered more conventional approaches like hearing aids, behavioral therapies, and medications in the previous video. Might any alternative therapies help? Some physical interventions, like acupuncture, may reduce the burden of tinnitus. But given the low quality of the evidence and inconsistency among the trials, results should be interpreted with caution. Of over 30 trials…
The barbell bent-over row is the row with the most bang for the buck because it trains the lats, upper back, rear delts, biceps, grip, and the lower back. For building a thicker, stronger back, nothing beats it. But there is one little thing… Holding the hinge position in the bent-over row requires lower-back muscular endurance. For some, the lower back waves the white flag long before the lats do, and it becomes less of a back builder and more of a test of lower-back endurance. Lower back fatigue doesn’t make the bent-over row a bad exercise, nor does it…
Balance training should be a top priority as you age. Poor balance is something you don’t want to experience in your 60s. Every year, roughly 1 million older adults are hospitalized due to falls, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). It’s easy to prioritize other workouts over balance training, but staying steady on your own two feet can reduce your risk of getting seriously injured. Being less active can lead to weaker muscles, while changes in sight and depth perception can also impact stability. A simple stumble can cause a sprained ankle, bruised knee, broken hip…
What began as a side project sharing recipes online became a full career after an unexpected turning point. While working in PR, Rachel Mansfield was fired because her food blog was considered a conflict of interest. Within months, she began to realize that the thing she had been building on the side could actually become something much bigger. More than a decade later, she has grown a community of more than 1.5 million around approachable, healthyish recipes made for real life. Now a mom of three boys, Mansfield brings that same practical approach to More, Please!, her new cookbook inspired by…
The final prep for a bodybuilding show is one of the most challenging phases that a competitor can put themselves through. Staying ripped means working on a vastly reduced calorie intake, while maintaining muscle requires enough fuel for flexing. Fortunately, multiple Olympia finalist, and respected IFBB coach, John Jewett says that finding the perfect balance is possible, and he has shared the winning formula for those who are looking to present their perfect physiques on stage. Why Pulling Every Lever at Once Destroys Your Prep When it comes to making changes to the body’s composition, cutting food, increasing cardiovascular training,…
I’m a CSCS coach. These six home moves help firm arm jiggle after 60, no machines needed. Arms can change quickly when you give them consistent strength work. After 60, that firmer look usually starts with rebuilding the muscle underneath, then supporting it with daily movement, protein, and enough recovery to keep training regularly. Home workouts fit that goal well because they remove a lot of friction. A band, a pair of dumbbells, and a sturdy chair can give your arms plenty to work with. You can train the biceps, triceps, shoulders, and upper back without waiting on machines or…
When people talk about Blue Zones, the conversation often focuses on food. We hear about olive oil, legumes, vegetables, and Mediterranean diets. But according to chef and cookbook author Francesco Mattana, the secret to Sardinia’s remarkable longevity goes far beyond what’s on the plate. Sardinia, the Italian island where Francesco was born and raised, is one of the world’s original Blue Zones, regions where people consistently live longer and healthier lives than average. Yet as Francesco explains in his debut cookbook, Eat Like a Sardinian, longevity isn’t built on strict rules, trendy ingredients, or the latest wellness obsession. Instead, it’s…
