Being constipated is hard—to put it quite literally. And having to deal with the associated symptoms of bloating, abdominal pain and hard stools that are often painful to pass is even worse. But take comfort in knowing that you’re not alone.

Packaged foods get a bad reputation, but they also include foods we think of us healthy and whole foods, like peanut butter, canned beans, hummus, yogurt—even pre-washed baby spinach. Not only are plenty of packaged and processed foods nutritious, even the ones we think of us less nutritious can actually make whole foods more enticing (think: a yummy sauce or dressing on vegetables) and encourage a healthier overall eating pattern....

You’ve probably heard about antioxidants. But what exactly are they? And what do they do? So many foods, especially fruits and vegetables, tout antioxidant benefits.

Chocolate is a staple in many kitchens. Whether it’s for baking or a sweet treat after dinner, chocolate is the ultimate pantry essential.
