Do Not Simply Repair the Broken Parts It may seem logical to think that working to heal your relationship after infidelity occurs would be enough, but it’s simply not.

The Food and Drug Administration has approved a vaccine for pregnant women to provide immediate protection against respiratory syncytial virus, or RSV, in infants. Abrysvo, is a single-dose vaccine produced by Pfizer and is approved for use between week 32 and week 36 of pregnancy. “This is especially exciting for us in pediatrics because vaccinating pregnant women in the second or third trimester of pregnancy can protect babies when they’re most vulnerable for developing severe illness with RSV, usually in the first six to 12 months of life,” says Dr. Nipunie Rajapakse, a pediatric infectious diseases physician with the Mayo Clinic Children’s Center. Watch: Dr.…

ROCHESTER, Minn. — Getting a COVID-19 vaccine may not only reduce a person’s risk of getting long-haul COVID, but also could mean fewer symptoms for people who develop the condition. Mayo Clinic researchers discovered that long-haul COVID patients who were vaccinated before contracting the virus were less likely to experience symptoms such as abdominal pain, chest pain, dizziness, and shortness of breath, according to a study published in the Journal of Investigative Medicine. The study is believed to be among the first to examine COVID-19 vaccines’ potential to reduce long-haul COVID symptoms. “These results were quite surprising to us,” says…

Building longevity is about playing the long game, working things like plant-centric eating and regular movement into the rubric of your daily life until they become fixtures. Because implementing these changes can be a challenge, particularly at the get-go, longevity expert Dan Buettner suggests setting up your environment in such a way that it nudges you toward these longevity-boosting behaviors, “so you can trust that the everyday unconscious decisions you make will help you live longer, as opposed to relying on short-term discipline and presence of mind.” Elements of home design might come to mind first in this realm—say, keeping…

Vacations just feel different. You’re in a different place, on a different schedule, with different foods. That’s a lot of fun, to be sure — but all of that can stall your weight loss efforts. “It can feel harder to eat healthy on vacation for several reasons,” says Melissa Mitri, registered dietitian and owner of Melissa Mitri Nutrition. “You’re out of your usual meal-planning routine, you don’t have as much control over food options, and restaurant food tends to be much higher in calories and fat than meals you’d make at home,” she says. In addition, vacations seem like the…
