But once it was discovered that they could be roasted to caramelized goodness—with a crisp exterior and tender, buttery interior—or shredded raw into light and crunchy salads, Brussels sprouts became a revelation....

4525974.jpg Pictured Recipe: Clean-Eating Bento Box Lunch Even the most well-intentioned parents have likely found themselves bagging up some packaged foods at the grocery checkout. Fruity yogurt, Cheddar crackers, juice boxes-they’re among the most popular processed foods, and every parent who aspires to a mostly clean diet for their kids and family has struggled against their allure at least once or twice.

There are a slew of additional health considerations that come up with age. One of the more notable ones is cognitive decline.

Sneaky symptoms of cognitive decline can include consistent worry, lack of ability to find words and feeling indifferent about things you used to enjoy. Cognitive decline is more common than you might expect, affecting one in nine adults in the U....

I am a lousy sleeper. A lot of Americans are. In a recent National Sleep Foundation poll, a staggering 84% of adults admitted feeling tired during the week—mainly because they don’t sleep well, or they aren’t getting enough hours of shut-eye period. My husband likes to say that he sleeps like Dracula: he gets under the covers, crosses his arms over his chest, closes his eyes and that’s that for the next seven hours or so....

The low-fat craze of the ’80s and ’90s has gone the way of perms and pleated pants—it’s no longer the norm, due to the high-fat, low-carb keto and paleo diets at the top of the trends list. Yet some Americans, who aren’t following those types of diets, are still falling short when it comes to fat. Bonnie Taub-Dix, RD, creator of BetterThanDieting.com and author of Read It Before You Eat It: Taking You from Label to Table, says, “Aim for 30 to 35 percent of daily calories each day from fat,” suggests Taub-Dix....

As the classic idiom goes, prevention is better than cure, and this is exactly what much of the recent scope of dementia research has focused on. We know that a sizable portion of Alzheimer’s risk lies in our DNA, but a lot of the determinants of dementia are triggered by lifestyle habits.
