What is a good goodbye in 2024? We have become accustomed to being ghosted (or worse, ghosted and then gaslighted about it) or ghosting, rather than simply saying we aren’t interested. Many of us take relationship breaks instead of owning up to the fact that we want to break up. Others simply deny endings by punting on the invitation for drinks or making excuses that work is “crazy”—anything to get out of having to gracefully end the would-be relationship or situationship. This is all for good reason: Goodbyes are hard, full stop. Saying goodbye and officially ending a friendship or…

You must strap on the shoes and run, like a lot, to get better at running. You need to pick up and put down weight to get stronger, and when you do both, running magic will happen. Strength training turns a lot of marathon runners off because they believe they will get “too bulky” and slow them down or think running is all they need to strengthen their legs. However, strength training is essential for marathon runners because it strengthens the muscles and joints, helping to improve race times and decrease their injury risk. So, it’s the opposite of what…
Gut health impacts most aspects of our health, from hormones to breakouts. It’s understandable that we’d forget about our guts. That’s until you feel symptoms like uncomfortable bloating and ongoing digestive issues. If you’re like us, you’re always curious about crafting a more mindful approach to caring for the internal system you can’t see but has such an instrumental impact on your health. Where do we begin? The simple answer: start with your diet. “We are learning more and more every day about the impact the gut has on all aspects of health from hormones to brain function,” Dr. Kate…
Glaucoma has been called the silent thief of sight because its onset can be so gradual that you may not notice changes in your vision until the disease is in its later stages. About 3 million people in the U.S. have glaucoma. Half of those people don’t know they have the condition. How glaucoma affects your vision Glaucoma is a group of eye conditions that damages the optic nerve, which sends visual information from your eye to your brain and is vital for good vision. Damage to the optic nerve often is related to high pressure in your eye. There are six common…
Whatever the funk smells like: An ob-gyn can swab the discharge and diagnose whether you have an infection, says Dr. Arnold. From there, there are treatment options: For yeast infections, there are various forms of over-the-counter antifungal creams, ointments, and suppositories available in different strengths, like Monistat. (But if you can sneak in a visit with a doctor, it’s a good idea so you can make sure you’re getting the right treatment—people can commonly assume a vaginal issue is yeast infection when it could be another infection.) For BV, treatments include antibiotics like metronidazole (Flagyl) pills or gel, or clindamycin…
Pancreatitis is inflammation of the pancreas, a long, flat gland that lies horizontally behind your stomach. The pancreas produces enzymes for digestion and hormones that regulate the way your body processes sugar. About 275,000 hospital stays for acute pancreatitis occur in the U.S. each year, according to the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Disease. Chronic pancreatitis is less common, with about 86,000 hospital stays per year. And although pancreatitis is rare in children, the number of children with acute pancreatitis has grown. Pancreatitis occurs when digestive enzymes become activated while still in the pancreas, irritating the cells of…
By Leo Babauta “The quieter you become, the more you are able to hear.” ― Rumi There’s rarely a moment in the day when most of us stop moving and stop the noise. For most of us, we’re working, we’re moving, we’re driving, we’re listening to things on our headphones, we’re watching things, we’re filling up the little spaces by checking our phones. This isn’t wrong — it’s a very human tendency to want to be busy, productive, filling every space with something useful or entertaining. But what if we could let ourselves become quiet? What happens is something magical: we…
