Interlacing fingers with your partner while walking down the street may seem like NBD, but there’s way more to holding hands than you might think. While this form of PDA is, to be fair, more PG than R-rated (no one’s ever going to yell at you to get a room), hand-holding is still an intimate act.“It feels good to hold hands with someone we know because it’s all about wanting to be close to them,” says Toni Coleman, LCSW, a psychotherapist and relationship coach based in Virginia.

Mindfulness is now a billion-dollar industry, with as many as one in five Fortune 500 companies implementing some kind of workplace mindfulness programs. It has been rebranded from “hippy dippy nonsense” to portrayals such as “brain training”––said to “sell it better.” These reductionist, commodified forms have been derided as “McMindfulness,” but who cares what they call it if it works. But does it? Research into mindfulness has been complicated by the…
With fall fast approaching, many of us are looking forward to pulling out our cutest sweaters, grabbing a pumpkin-spiced latte, and maybe even visiting the local apple orchard. But if you’re a foodie, maybe one of the most exciting aspects of fall is root vegetable season. Sure, we all love potatoes, carrots, parsnips, and turnips, but what about some of the more niche varieties like celeriac? This generally lesser-known root veggie is not only delicious but full of nutrients that support our best health. This may just be why celeriac has such a deeply rooted (no pun intended) history as…

You likely already know about the importance of protein. This macronutrient helps your body metabolize and digest food, repair your body tissues (including muscles), and grow and develop in a healthy way. But in order for those things to happen, your body needs to break down protein into its building blocks, called amino acids. Amino acids are divided into three categories: Essential (or indispensable) Non-essential (or dispensable) Conditional (or conditionally indispensable) While you usually get all the amino acids you need from food, they’re also available in supplement form. Here’s a quick guide to amino acids, including the nine that you can only…
On October 23, 2018, Rita Krueger underwent surgery for pancreatic cancer. Mark Truty, M.D., a Mayo Clinic hepatobiliary and pancreatic surgeon, removed her pancreas, duodenum, spleen and left adrenal gland and removed and reconstructed several blood vessels involved in her tumor.

Five years later, Rita is doing well and…
