A sister holds so many roles. From being your biggest confidant to the only person who could “borrow” your clothes, she’s always been there through it all. And now that Mother’s Day is this weekend, it’s only right you show your appreciation with a unique and thoughtful gift. And even if she’s not ~technically~ a mama, she may behave lovingly overbearing towards you or plays second mom to your own children. Honestly, many of these gifts would also be great for your sister-in-law, mother-like aunt, or grandmother, too.But finding the best gift for your sister can be tricky—especially if she…

For every restaurant in the United States that sees massive success, there are others that struggle or fail to stay afloat and end up closing. If you need proof, just look at the data. There were 703,000 restaurants in the country in 2019, but reports from food service industry research company Technomic indicate that there will be less than 630,000 locations by the end of this year. Soaring costs for food, labor, and other commodities, as well as traffic declines during COVID-19 pandemic that continue to negatively impact certain chains today, have contributed to a growing pool of restaurant closures…

Explore the SHOP My hair wash cycle is like a math equation. I’m constantly faced with the problem of trying to line up my shampoos with events, workouts, and daily activities.

Another day, another mass shooting. According to the Gun Violence Archive, there have been more mass shootings than days in 2023. A mass shooting is defined as an incident in which four or more victims are shot or killed. Just this past weekend, a man entered a mall in Allen, TX with an AR-15 killing at least eight people and injuring others.Like most Americans, I am exhausted from the violence and struggle to understand why nothing is being done about it. But I come from the unique place of having lived through the 2007 Virginia Tech shooting and other tragedies that…

You want to lose weight and you want to lose it fast—we hear you. Well, we will tell you right now: You can skip most machine exercises. Those typical machines you see in the middle of your gym are no match for free weight or bodyweight exercises. Why? Because they stabilize the weight for you and force you into fixed, two-dimensional movement patterns, which is not how your body is designed to move. Thankfully, there are some excellent machines at the gym you can use to get great fat-burning results while still being able to get a total-body benefit. Gear…

You might think your inability to stick with a plan comes down to a lack of motivation, or maybe even a fundamental lack of willpower.  But, willpower isn’t what is holding you back. After years of coaching people as a personal trainer, I’ve discovered that most people struggle to maintain their momentum because they ignore one simple rule. It’s called The Goldilocks Rule. It’s a riff off the old tale of Goldilocks and The Three Bears. And, while it might seem ridiculous, finding what’s just right for you is the secret to better health. The Goldilocks Rule states that we…

Helen Cooper, a runner in Derby, England, heard what she believed to be a child’s toy making noises from a garbage bin while out running, according to ITV. Upon further investigation, she saw a newborn puppy, about one day old, half inside a plastic bag and weighted down by a brick. “It’s absolutely disgusting,” she told ITV. “Even if the owners had a dog that got pregnant accidentally and they couldn’t afford to keep the puppies, there’s no need to put a living thing into a bin. No reason. It’s awful.”Cooper scooped up the puppy—a spaniel or cockapoo—which fit into…

There’s no roadmap for navigating grief when you lose someone you care about. It’s a deeply painful and complicated process that we all handle in our own ways. It’s also an unavoidable part of life for most of us: We grieve late parents, grandparents, friends, coworkers, and pets. We can even mourn the loss of celebrities we didn’t personally know. Grieving doesn’t always start after someone dies, though. Sometimes the process begins beforehand, when, say, you find out your loved one has been diagnosed with late-stage cancer, or as you watch your parents get older. Feeling a mix of overwhelming emotions when you know death is coming (and there’s…

Below is an approximation of this video’s audio content. To see any graphs, charts, graphics, images, and quotes to which Dr. Greger may be referring, watch the above video. Hibiscus tea, also known as roselle or Jamaica, is enjoyed around the world hot or cold for its bright red color and tart cranberry-like flavor. It’s the “zing” in Red Zinger tea. I talk about its benefits in the chapter on high blood pressure in How Not to Die––working as well as some leading antihypertensive medications in head-to-head tests, or even beating the drugs out. Within three hours of drinking hibiscus…
