It’s that time of year when folks suddenly want to do everything outside—including eating. And what better way to do so than at a picnic?

They found that declines in sexual satisfaction and erectile function were associated with memory loss later in life.Researchers used data from men who participated in the Vietnam Era Twin Study of Aging, which is a longitudinal study of the risks and protective factors for cognitive and…
Historically, the financial industry has focused solely on financial literacy, says Haylie Castillo, MSW, LSWAIC, CFT-I™, owner of Castillo Financial Therapy. While financial literacy is absolutely necessary, it’s just part of achieving financial success. “The psychology and emotions around money have been the missing piece of the puzzle,” she says. Castillo says she was raised in a very patriarchal household, where the message was that girls don’t do money. The goal for girls in her family was to grow up, find a man and marry him because he’ll take care of the finances. But she married a feminist.“So all of that…

Ahhh, sandal weather. Gotta love it—except when all that exposure brings to light (literally) that your feet aren’t in the best shape of their life. Maybe you notice rough patches, cracked skin, or peeling, for instance. First, cut your footsies some slack. “Some degree of skin peeling on the feet is normal, especially during the summer months when our feet are exposed to the sun, heat, and sand,” says Cameron Rokhsar, MD, double board-certified dermatologist and dermatologic surgeon and professor of dermatology at Mount Sinai.Adds Rebecca Pruthi, DPM, a podiatrist, and owner of Foot Care of Manhattan, “We are on…
Several weeks ago, I attended a self-defense class. Our instructor stood in the middle of the room to demonstrate poses for cautious contact. We were shown how to position our torso, how to hold our hands. The stance was meant to help us easily switch into a squatting position where we could use the power of our legs to fight off perpetrators. “Where are women not very strong?” the instructor asked us. “Our upper bodies,” one woman offered. “And where does our strength lie?” Our legs, we all answered unanimously. She then taught us a series of punches, kicks, and…
