To maximize nutrient intake while saving money, learn how to keep food fresh with must-follow tips from culinary experts. Plus: how to store potatoes, onions, apples, berries, and other fresh foods to max out their shelf lives. As much as we love a night on the town, those restaurant outings don’t always love us back. Compared to dining out, cooking at home has been linked to better diet quality, improved mental health, and more money in your bank account—not to mention more time to invest in things other than worrying about what to wear. (That can’t be just us, right?)…
America’s public health establishment has made a lot of critical mistakes in recent years. One of the worst has been its willingness to comply with social justice activists who are committed to minimizing or denying the dangers of obesity. LiveStrong, a website dedicated to providing “trusted health, nutrition, and fitness information,” offers yet another example of a generally reliable source that has prized current political trends over its science-based mission. Our evidence comes primarily from a May 1 article titled What ‘Fatphobia’ Really Means, and Why It’s So Harmful: “Weight bias (or what many people think of as ‘fatphobia’) perpetuates…
Since the Supreme Court overturned Roe last summer, some states have been weighing and enacting dangerously restrictive abortion bans. Just last week, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis signed a ban outlawing abortions in the state after six weeks gestation (despite the fact that nearly a third of pregnant people don’t know they’re pregnant until the six-week mark) and forcing people who’ve been raped to provide documentation stating as such if they want access to reproductive health care. Young people, in particular, are taking note of these egregious policies. According to a new poll from consulting and research firm Gallup, 72{1293bd4ef25ca86a622f6d9512ec3310653175851a143bae989351f0db04aea4} of current college students feel reproductive health laws…
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. Fibromyalgia is a common disorder whose cardinal manifestation is chronic, widespread pain. Well, not so common, affecting 2 to 4 percent of the population, though probably more like 2 percent, and especially women. For decades, some medical professionals dismissed fibromyalgia as all in people’s heads, but this outdated view has been refuted by more recent research characterizing it as a disorder of pain regulation and sensitization. Brain imaging studies have shown…
There’s just something about spring evenings that make a taco night at home seem absolutely spot on. Sweetening the deal even further, gluten-free goddess Danielle Walker divulged this incredibly easy chicken taco recipe to us recently when she walked us through her autoimmune-friendly kitchen.We may be the last people on earth without an Instant Pot, but this recipe stands ready to convert us, wholly. All that is added to the chicken is salsa and seasoning and these tacos are ready to be slapped together in a clean, crunchy lettuce or cabbage leaf. In the mood for a more traditional crunch?…

THE ON-CALL room was tiny, measuring about eight by seven feet, with most of the space taken up by twin bunk beds and a wooden desk with a computer that connected me to the ever-changing goings-on of the hospital outside the door. There were actually two doors—one that led to the hallway and the insanity of the patient rooms beyond, and one that led to a bathroom that was shared with an adjoining call room. Thus, any time you were on call at the same time as the constipation-afflicted general surgery resident, every one of his trips to the toilet…
If you told me six years ago that I would be working at my dream job today as a mental health peer specialist and program coordinator at form communities, I would not have believed you for three reasons”The first reason being that I was only just beginning my mental health recovery journey after several psychiatric hospitalizations for acute psychosis.The second reason being I had not worked in a professional setting for a couple of years.The last reason being I had lost all sense of trust in my ability to decipher reality.AdvertisementThe concept that I could work became foreign to me…
Chromosomal errors are a hallmark of cancer cells. Defects in the genome derived from the incorrect separation of chromosomes (and the DNA packed within) in each division of cells drive tumor growth and resistance to therapy. However, the opposite is also true, as very high levels of this persistent, chaotic genome scrambling, called chromosomal instability, is detrimental for tumors. Consequently, cancer cells must restrain these errors to survive. In a research study published recently in Cell Reports Medicine, Mayo Clinic molecular and cancer cell biologist Veronica Rodriguez-Bravo, Ph.D., and her team identified a “brake” used by tumor cells that enables them to survive…
You probably don’t need another reason to sneak more seeds into your diet, from magnesium-packed pumpkin seeds to mighty chia seeds, with their potent dose of omega-3s and pudding-making power. But one seed variety that’s been around for centuries is just now making its way out of the gardening supply store and into pantries in the U.S. Basil seeds, also known as sabja seeds, have been used for thousands of years in Ayurvedic, Afghani, and Chinese medicine to treat a range of digestive symptoms. The Thai basil plant is indigenous to India, China, and the Middle East. It’s been cultivated…
