As a former dancer and current Bar Method Instructor, proper form and alignment play a huge role in my day-to-day life. However before that, like most people, I never gave much thought to how I was walking. Now I know what you’re thinking—“I know how to walk. I learned that forever ago.” Hear me out. Yes, you know how to walk but are you walking correctly? Chances are you learned how when you were a toddler and haven’t thought much about it since....

Look, mornings aren’t easy. Battling the snooze button and getting dressed and out the door on time can be hard enough, but add morning meeting prep or shuttling the kids to school, and it can feel impossible to fit in a filling breakfast. Thankfully, smoothies are here to save the day. But there are mornings when getting all the ingredients out for a smoothie seems like a big deal. We’re big fans of DIY frozen smoothie packs to keep in the freezer for an even quicker breakfast on-the-go, but sometimes we like to lean on store-bought substitutes to save even more time....

She also mentioned that her menu includes “bread, chocolate and wine.” Upon hearing that, we immediately moved the actress and mom of two near the top of our dream celebrity dinner date list.

Let’s be honest, most of us cannot keep up with (AKA afford) Martha Stewart’s caviar taste and estate lifestyle. But that doesn’t mean we can’t still glean plenty of inspiration from the ageless entertaining, baking and gardening extraordinaire. During the May 23 episode of CBS Sunday Morning, Stewart gave us all a sneak peek at her newly renovated and absolutely stunning kitchen. “During the last year and couple months, lots of us have been focused on our homes,” Stewart says as the segment kicks off....

What we do know: COVID-19 can manifest as anything from asymptomatic to debilitating to deadly, and it’s something that 35.6 million Americans and counting (10.8% of the population) have tested positive for, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. What we don’t know: What the long-term health impacts will be on the 35 million (so far) who have survived their battle with the coronavirus. So researchers are building databases of survivors to learn as much as they can—as quickly as possible—to try to mitigate as much future damage as possible....

3758614__630.jpg The ketogenic diet may be on the rise as far as diet trends go, but the concept isn’t new. First identified as a beneficial treatment for epilepsy, the high-fat, very-low-carbohydrate approach has been around for close to 100 years. Recently, the diet has become popular among athletes (LeBron James tried it) and those looking for the next weight-loss cure-all. Followers eat foods like butter, oils, fatty meats and cheese....

Like most of us, I’m at a bit of a loss for what to do and how to help as the new coronavirus pandemic transforms the world in ways we couldn’t have imagined just a few months, weeks or even days ago. We’re all doing our best to handle this challenging time, and some of us are in much tougher situations than others. My heart goes out to everyone, but especially those who will be the most affected by the impact of COVID-19....

Did you know, almost half of American adults have high cholesterol? So, if that’s you, know you aren’t alone. It’s mostly the combination of lifestyle factors and genetics that influence cholesterol. But what you eat still matters. In fact, when you eat closer to what the Dietary Guidelines recommends, you could lower your risk of heart disease and cholesterol. So, aim to eat more fruits, vegetables, lean protein, lower fat dairy, whole grains—and at the same time, eat fewer less healthy or empty calorie foods like processed meats, salty snacks like potato chips, sweets, and sweetened beverages....

Our gut microbiomes contribute to our overall health, and a healthy gut can aid in everything from weight loss to preventing chronic diseases. You (probably) already know that diet is largely responsible for how efficiently the gut functions, and eating things like processed foods or sugary sodas will make it lose steam over time. But there’s a lot we’re still learning about the microbiome-what keeps it healthy, and what could accidentally be causing it damage....

Labels tell you a lot about what’s in the food you’re consuming—but when the labels are misleading or just plain wrong, it gets confusing. One of the biggest offenders here is imported olive oil. Nearly 70% of imported oils labeled “extra-virgin olive oil” did not meet standards for the category in tests run a decade ago by UC Davis Olive Oil Chemistry Laboratory, and it’s been reported that as much 80% of the Italian oil, specifically, on the market is fraudulent....

Breakfast is one of the most neglected meals of the day, and it’s no surprise since most of us are rushing to get ourselves - and possibly others - out the door on time. But skipping breakfast isn’t a good idea, especially if you have diabetes. “Research shows eating a balanced meal in the morning may help to promote more stable blood glucose levels the rest of the day. For individuals with diabetes, skipping the morning meal may lead to reduced energy levels, a higher risk of hypoglycemia, and an increase in food cravings/portions the remainder of the day,” says Erin Palinski-Wade, RD, CDE, author of 2 Day Diabetes Diet....
