The view looked amazing, as did his life for that past decade—dressed in a tuxedo and white gloves while working on a six-star cruise ship in Antarctica; suntanned and smiling after a day of…
If you, like many runners, have ever slogged through what you thought would be an easy jog, or completely bonked during a marathon for which you had trained properly, then you have probably asked yourself, “what went wrong?” Often, the problem isn’t in your miles, but your fueling, which is one of the key aspects of any runner’s workout and racing plan. Fueling is highly personal, but nutritional guidelines can help you find what works for you. Choosing the right foods to eat and when is as important as wearing the right running shoes, drinking water, and knowing how far…
Fast-food chains aren’t necessarily a destination for the most elegant or highest-quality food, but they still manage to bring in customers with the simple proposition of getting a quick, filling meal at a lower price than higher-end brands. However, rising costs for food, labor, and other commodities in recent years have spurred brands to start implementing changes that are causing them to lose favor among certain customers. Certain chains, like Chipotle and Domino’s, have resorted to price hikes in order to offset those elevated costs. Lately, more and more restaurants seem to be adopting a different method to save food…

We live in a world where so much emphasis is put on appearance. Many people use clothing, makeup, and accessories as ways to enhance their appearance and to express their personality. For those with skin conditions like eczema, there are more factors to consider when deciding what to wear for the day, aside from what may be trendy or personal preferences. Eczema is a chronic condition in which the skin becomes itchy, rough, and inflamed. It can cause discolored patches, and scratching can make the skin prone to oozing, bleeding, and even infection.AdvertisementI’ve tried to balance my love of fashion…
It doesn’t matter if you’re desk-bound, vying for a marathon finish line, or consider yourself a cyclist or CrossFitter — you’ve probably got tight hips.The more than 20 muscles that make up your hips are responsible for stabilizing your pelvis, moving your legs from side to side, and shortening to draw your knees toward your chest every time you sit down, run, jump, or pedal, explains Kelly Moore, a certified yoga instructor and co-founder of MindFuel Wellness, which brings health and wellness initiatives to companies throughout Chicago.RELATED: 15 Stretches You Should Do Every Damn DayBasically, your hips do a lot of work and…
It takes a heightened level of mental toughness and defiance to grow up as the grandson of Muhammed Ali and not shy away from the sport where your grandfather is known as “The Greatest” and “The People’s Champ.” For Nico Ali Walsh, boxing has always been a part of the fabric of his upbringing. It was hard not to fall in love with how it tested him while also showing him what he was capable of as his skills continued to progress. Walsh (8-0, 5 KOs) learned early that there would never be any escaping the comparisons and mentioning of…

This ancient method of food preservation may offer real benefits for the body. Fermented foods contain “good” bacteria that can help keep our gut and our microbiome healthy, says Amy Shapiro, MS, RD, CDN, of Real Nutrition NYC. They assist with digestion, may help support a healthy weight, support immunity and skin health, and much more, Shapiro adds. “Research is constantly evolving on this topic.” Among the research is a 2021 study…
