Wood apple, also known as Elephant Apple or Indian Bael fruit, is a tropical fruit native to the Indian subcontinent and Southeast Asia. The fruit is round and has a hard shell with a woody texture, hence the name. The outer shell is rough and has a greenish-yellow color, which turns brown as the fruit ripens.

Intuitive eating, or listening to your body and its cues around food, is an increasingly-popular framework for nutrition. It draws people in who are interested in giving up dieting and want to finally make peace with food without neglecting their health. Oftentimes, people’s disordered relationships with food parallel their relationships with movement. They may be caught up in all-or-nothing thoughts and behaviors, follow rigid rules, and act in a way that is totally disconnected from their bodies’ cues. For that reason, practicing intuitive eating often promotes intuitive movement—a more attuned, self-compassionate approach to physical activity. So, why practice intuitive eating?…

An incredibly common misconception about strength training with weights is that it can make you look “bulky.” Sure, lifting weights can increase the size and strength of your muscles, but it’s also a crucial form of exercise if you want to lose weight and get lean. Resistance training burns calories while also helping you preserve lean muscle mass. Now that we’ve established that strength training is king—or shall we say “queen”—we spoke with Katie Kollath, ACE-CPT and co-founder of Barpath Fitness, who shares five strength exercises for women to get firm and lean in their 40s. “Strength training targets specific…
Cortisol is the Lisa Rinna of hormones—involved in everybody’s business and always getting blamed for the drama (RHOBH fans know!). To be fair, the stuff *is* connected to your body’s fight-or-flight response (there’s a reason it’s nicknamed “the stress hormone”). But cortisol also has a role in almost every major organ system, from brain function to joint and immune health. It regulates metabolism. It works with insulin to keep your blood sugar stable. It helps quell inflammation. Notice a trend? It’s not all bad! In an age of rampant burnout, cortisol imbalance has become wellness gurus’ favorite scapegoat for all…
I became a bidet enthusiast when I traveled to Japan and realized just how game-changing they can be. I used self-cleaning models with heated seats, warm water (so good), deodorizers, and even music you can play to mask sounds. After discovering what I was missing—what we’re all missing—I prayed this bathroom upgrade would start to catch on in the US. Thankfully, over the last few years, that seems to have started happening. If you’re ready to bring a bum washer into your home, here’s everything you need to know, as well as recommendations for the very best ones.First, what are…
Simeon Birnbaum hates running the 2 mile.The senior from Rapid City, South Dakota, has been one of the most dominant high schoolers in the country this year, going undefeated in the 1600 meters and mile during the outdoor season. On June 1, he won the mile at Hoka Festival of Miles in 3:56.14, making him the fourth-fastest high school miler of all time and taking down fellow elite high schoolers Connor Burns and Rocky Hansen.But despite Birnbaum’s pedigree, he felt like he was at a disadvantage heading into the Brooks PR Invitational on Wednesday, where he—along with Burns and Hansen—were…
Some breakfast foods are synonymous with quick and on-the-go, like a smoothie or Egg McMuffin. Other breakfasts are more appropriate when things are a bit more leisurely like a full plate of eggs, bacon, and home fries or a plate piled high with delicious homemade pancakes. It would be wonderful if every morning could start with a luxurious breakfast like those, but in reality, most are lucky some days if they make it out the door with a coffee in hand. Given the need for speed, it’s no wonder that so many turn to local fast-food restaurants for their first…
In a never-ending quest to find haircare and hair tools capable of lifting my long, fine, flat hair, I’ve tried more products than I can admittedly recall. Where some of these products are immediate nos thanks to their texture, scent, or inability to volumize my strands for a long-lasting effect, others offer results that are nothing short of noteworthy. Case in point: the new ($32) and ($32). The Living Proof Full Collection Before diving into what I love about the newly-released Living Proof Volume & Root Spray and Thickening Blow-Dry Cream, let me give you the rundown on the OG…
