For years, it looked like egg yolks were no longer disinvited from the breakfast table. After decades of warnings over the amount of cholesterol in yolks, researchers reversed course: Studies suggested that dietary cholesterol had a minimal impact on blood-cholesterol levels and touted the nutritional benefits of egg yolks (fat-burning choline, bone-building vitamin D). In 2016, the federal government’s Dietary Guidelines even lifted the recommended daily limit on eggs. The message was — eat up! But lately, headlines tease a different story. A study published in March of 2019 in the Journal of the American Medical Association found that egg-yolk consumption was correlated with heart…

Due to their various functions, it’s good practice to incorporate these shoulder exercises into your routine. Rotations Some movements that may be perceived as warm-up work have far greater benefits than just that. This is the case for mobility work which improves function and range of motion. How could we throw a ball or swim without scapular rotation? These can benefit weightlifters who are striving for more muscle recruitment. Regular weightlifters may have higher torque…
LSU baseball strength and conditioning coach Derek Groomer dives deep into the data for his Bayou Bengals. When it comes to evaluation and preparation, there are no generalities. Each player’s biomechanics get logged and tracked. No details are left out—Groomer even measures the toe habits in each player’s walking stride.

Just ask Groomer, whose subjects are now in Omaha to play in the College World Series for the first time in six years. The answer seems fairly obvious, given…
An unopened bottle of wine can last years, with most getting even better with age. However, as soon as you open the bottle, you’re drastically shortening this alcoholic beverage’s lifespan. When you’re sharing your favorite cabernet sauvignon with your guests at a dinner party, or bringing a light, crisp pinot grigio to your friends’ picnic and planning to finish the whole bottle, this shouldn’t be an issue. But for those nights when you want just a glass or two, it can feel like you’re wasting the rest of the bottle or sacrificing taste if you don’t finish it immediately. Thankfully, if…
