Ah, the slider: the perfect answer for when you want to eat three burgers but don’t want to deal with any self-loathing and stomachaches to follow. As the average slider has between 200 to 250 calories—based on our cross-referencing of the nutrition info for the little burgers covered here—you can eat a few, sip some soda, enjoy your fries, and only take in a bit more “sustenance” than you’d get with a full-sized burger from most fast-food places. The thing is, there actually aren’t that many fast-food places that serve sliders, so you may have to do a bit of…

Be prepared: You may feel uncomfortable at first, and you can’t guarantee they’ll be down. That said, getting a “no” is much rarer than you might think, in Lioi’s experience: “People are usually pretty open, or are more open than you expect,” he adds. Either way, remember that this whole thing is a process: Just as you wouldn’t expect to lift weights once, or even twice, and see results, investing in friendships requires some effort and patience.3. Try to actually look at each other occasionally. When men bond, it can often take the shape of a side-to-side activity, such as hiking…

Mayo Clinic researchers have identified a diverse range of environmental chemicals in human bile in patients with primary sclerosing cholangitis, a rare, chronic liver disease of the bile ducts. The study, published in Exposome, represents a new frontier of research at Mayo Clinic’s Center for Individualized Medicine that explores the exposome, the measure of environmental contributors to disease and health. Most people with primary sclerosing cholangitis also have some type of inflammatory bowel disease, such as ulcerative colitis or Crohn’s disease, often leading to end-stage liver disease and cancer. Liver transplantation is the only evidence-based treatment for this advanced disease…

Hectic days filled with too many emails or long to-do lists can be a roller coaster for your nervous system. Triggers of stress or anxiety, no matter how subtle, ignite a cascade of signals and hormones in the fight-or-flight response: epinephrine fires, cortisol surges, your heart races, blood glucose spikes. As a result, your body spends precious energy “protecting” you from that email from your boss’s boss instead of being dedicated to, say, creative problem solving.That sweet spot of feeling both calm and motivated throughout the day can be evasive for many of us. Lately, one wearable device has made…

DEAR MAYO CLINIC: My niece is living in my home while she is attending college. I’ve invited her to eat meals with our family, but she typically declines, desiring to eat alone in her room. I’m concerned because she often seems to eat a lot of food at one time, like two sandwiches with two bags of chips or a quart of ice cream. Could this be a sign of an eating disorder? If so, what can I do to help her? ANSWER: Most people eat too much occasionally. They may fill up an extra plate with seconds at a special event,…

There’s a reason why breakfast is often referred to as “the most important meal of the day.” It helps keep you fueled and energized, promotes steady blood sugar, and has also been found to boost cognitive function. However, regularly eating breakfast can be easier said than done, as figuring out where to start or—more specifically—what healthy breakfast foods to choose can be somewhat daunting, especially if you’re hoping to consume the best breakfast for a healthy gut. Your gut health plays an integral role in your overall well-being, with the trillions of microbes lining your digestive tract playing several different…

Frozen foods can be incredibly convenient and meet the flavor preferences of a wide variety of palates. These meals and snacks can also cut down on food spoilage and waste at home, and make it easy to eat healthfully with minimal effort in the kitchen. With so many frozen foods available today, not all are created equally. In fact, if you browse the frozen food aisle on your next grocery visit, you’ll find a wide range of nutrient profiles, calorie amounts, ingredients used, and portion sizes. With so many foods to choose from, it can be hard to filter through…

WHEN LOGAN ROY HAD a health crisis on his private jet on Episode 3 of the new and last season of Succession, the flight crew started performing chest compressions. That led many to speculate that Logan had gone into cardiac arrest, causing him to die midair. But, in Epsiode 4, titled “Honeymoon States,” Logan’s son Kendall revealed that the cause of death was a pulmonary embolism—which Tom Wambsgams (Logan’s possibly soon-to-be ex-son-in-law) suggests may have happened while he was “trying to fish a dropped cellphone out of an airplane toilet.” No matter how it happens and classic Succession irreverence aside,…

If you’re a shave-in-the-shower kind of gal, you know it’s nearly impossible to reach everything. But it’s not just about missing a spot, it’s also the fact that you exit the shower with some unwanted friends: razor burn, pesky bumps, and a few nicks here and there.
