You don’t need to block out serious amounts of time to get your butt out of the chair. If you don’t have the type of schedule that allows you to fit in 2.5 hours of moderate exercise throughout the week—as federal guidelines recommend—working out on the weekends is still better than parking it on the couch, as we recently reported.When English researchers analyzed lifestyle data from 64,000 adults, they found that people who crammed their workouts into just one or two days per week were still 40 percent less likely to die from heart disease, 18 percent less likely to…
I’ve been thinking about how to write about this topic for a few weeks after reading “Platonic: How the Science of Attachment Can Help You Make–and Keep–Friends” by Marisa Franco.In addition to giving the reader a solid explanation of attachment theory, Franco also talks a lot about the history of friendships in American society. She talks about letters written between friends in early American history that are quite affectionate, warm, and loving. We wouldn’t dare to say these things to someone we are “just” friends with these days. She even does a pretty good teardown of the term I used,…

You can pack a ton of delicious, healthy ingredients into one drink that you can either sip on the go or while you’re working from your desk.

Inclusive conversations are happening more and more these days, and it’s time to extend that to chronic skin conditions. The movement to abandon full faces of makeup and social media filters has been especially meaningful for audit senior manager Samantha Kuberka, who has lived with vitiligo—a chronic autoimmune condition characterized by skin that has lost color, resulting in white patches—for most…
The University of Colorado will enact new guidelines surrounding body composition testing after an independent review of the cross-country and track and field teams found evidence the school’s current practices “negatively impacted a significant number of student-athletes.” An 82-page report was provided to Runner’s World along with a summary of the results and actions the university has taken in response. In the report, several members of the university’s medical and coaching staff, along with current and former athletes, told investigators they believed the testing and related nutrition advice exacerbated eating disorders and caused other harms, especially to athletes on the…
If you want to find out which grocery items are currently in stock at your local Costco warehouse, you’ll have to do it the old-fashioned way. Either pick up a telephone, call the store, and ask a real human, or schlep over to the store and search the aisles for yourself. Checking an item’s availability online is not an option. Both the Costco website and mobile app are completely useless in this regard. Many other big-box retailers conveniently offer this capability on their sites—including America’s other major warehouse club, Walmart-owned Sam’s Club, which allows you to search inventory at your local…
