The McCracken Spring, UT, native has only continued building on a strong legacy once he turned pro. Whitehorse took home PBR’s Rookie of the Year award in 2018 and is a three-time PBR Global Cup qualifier. Even with his…
Although you may have grown up eating frozen chicken nuggets, this popular food isn’t just for kids.

Deep fried in vats of refined oil and made of a blend of pulverized meat plus a dozen or more ingredients, fast-food chicken nuggets are generally not regarded as a nutritionally beneficial meal; however, some options are certainly healthier choices than others, and…
A cough is annoying enough during the day, but come bedtime, when cold symptoms tend to get worse, hacking your lungs out can become a real nightmare.Thanks to gravity, when you lie down to sleep, any phlegm in your nose may start draining (and pooling) into the back of your throat. This is known as post-nasal drip—commonly caused by fall allergies, colds, and sinus infections—and it activates your cough reflex. At the same time, research shows that if you’re fighting off a viral or bacterial infection, your immune system steps it up a notch at night, causing inflammation in your…
