Read on to learn about the different types of coffee makers, and find the best one that suits your coffee drinking needs....
Although they are called “potatoes,” sweet potatoes are not in the potato family at all but are a type of morning glory-a tropical vine whose tuberous roots can be white, yellow, orange, red, purple or brown. Sweet potatoes are one of the most nutrient-dense vegetables in the world. They can be fried, roasted, boiled, steamed, mashed, baked whole or in a gratin. The natural sweetness of sweet potatoes can be heightened with ingredients like molasses, maple syrup, honey, coconut milk and orange juice and zest-or with sweet spices, such as cinnamon, cloves and nutmeg....

In 2019, roughly 1 in 10 Americans were food-insecure, meaning that they couldn’t afford enough nutritious food to meet their needs. In 2020, largely due to the COVID-19 pandemic and rising unemployment rate, it’s estimated that this number has jumped to 1 in 6 Americans....

Good sleep can be hard to come by. Despite the fact that the National Sleep Foundation recommends that adults sleep between seven to nine hours per night, 35% of adults log less than that, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. It’s no secret that these past six months have made it even tougher to prioritize sleep amid the COVID-19 pandemic. Stress may keep you up at night, work-from-home tends to become work-at-all-hours-from-home (especially if you lack child care), and the news cycle has a way of infusing worrying thoughts into your head before you hit the hay....

By Hilary Meyer and Betsy Andrews Photo: Getty Images/merc67 Some of us are lucky to live in a place where fresh herbs are plentiful pretty much year-round. Fresh herbs garnish dishes, brighten salads and add fresh flavor to practically anything they land on, from soups to stir-fries. They’re also one of those foods that require you to buy a lot even if you only need a little. That is, unless it’s summer and you have a bountiful backyard garden....
comfy looking sofa Credit: Getty / H.Klosowska The past few months, I’ve been a bit of a stress ball. I surmise the uptick in brooding is likely a combination of an increased workload and increased travels, plus other shifting life factors. Whatever the cause, managing this added angst has been both frustrating and exhausting, especially during summer, a time of year I associate with easy, carefree fun. So when I recently received a month-long assignment to practice self-care for 10 minutes every day, I embraced the opportunity with fervor....
If you’re anything like us, you’re seeking additional ways to stay connected as we approach one full month of social distancing. There are few sweeter ways to show someone you’re thinking about them than a doorstep delivery of some of your therapy baking treats or a bubbly casserole of lasagna.

You may think of Alzheimer’s disease as something that impacts only your friend’s grandpa, but we’re learning that cognitive decline is actually shockingly common. In fact, Alzheimer’s Association experts estimate that 12 to 18 percent of Americans 60 and older experience some form of mild cognitive impairment (MCI), which often progresses to officially diagnosable forms of dementia, including Alzheimer’s disease. This week, the U.S. Food & Drug Administration (FDA) fast-tracked aducanamab, the first drug that might potentially slow the progression of early-diagnosed Alzheimer’s....
While social media may lead us to believe that most people spent their time self isolating at home effortlessly baking loaves of sourdough or learning a new language (apart from the essential workers—thank you!) the reality is that most of us were just trying to get through another day of quarantine. Between suddenly working from home, school cancellations, stress and a massive change in routine, many of us were reaching for more comfort foods to cope (FYI it’s totally natural to do this when stressed), while saying goodbye to our regular routines....
