Taking a walk is great for your health. It helps you stay active, it’s free, and you can do it almost anywhere. For a person who weighs 155 pounds, walking for 30 minutes burns about 149 calories. However, not everyone likes to walk or can walk. However, there are several activities that burn just as many calories as walking, and they may even be part of your normal routine. woman gardening Credit: Getty Images; Kathrin Ziegler The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention lists the calorie burn for different activities, everything from hiking and running to gardening and dancing....

With positivity rates skyrocketing over the last month, data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention confirms that 65 million and counting Americans have been diagnosed with a confirmed case of COVID-19. That’s nearly 1 in every 5 of us. But with this recent influx of cases and new variants (delta, omicron) popping up at a more rapid clip, you or someone you know may actually be counted in that number twice … or three times....

Here, we’ll tell you how to store cheese properly, with tips and suggestions from a cheesemaker for extending its shelf life as long as possible.

illustration of a plant based burger Credit: Getty Images Plant-based meat has taken the healthy-eating world by storm. What was once a category reserved for rubbery soy-based sausage and chewy fake chicken nuggets is now a category that offers up some pretty impressive-tasting food. But, is plant-based meat healthy, or is it simply a food trend that sounds healthy but, in reality, isn’t genuinely benefiting our overall health? What Is Plant-Based Meat?...

The Mediterranean diet continues to prove itself as one of the healthiest ways to eat. In 2020, it was voted the best diet for the third year in a row by U.S News & World Report. The Mediterranean diet is more of a healthy-eating lifestyle than a restrictive diet. It emphasizes a wide variety of fruits and vegetables as well regularly eating fish, nuts and other foods with healthy fats while limiting processed foods, red meats in excess and refined grains, like white bread....

Given the fact that heart disease is the leading cause of death in the U.S.—with stroke, cancer and diabetes close behind—and that obesity rates continue to rise, you’d think that medical schools would train aspiring physicians on a key preventive measure: nutrition. Surprisingly, that isn’t the case. At last count, only one-fifth of medical schools required any nutrition training. And a study that tested fourth-year medical students’ basic knowledge about things like healthy eating and weight loss found they could only answer, on average, about half of the questions correctly....
I’m a big fan of investing in kitchen items that will last forever. In fact, the three items I use every day are all investment pieces. But I’m also realistic—not everyone has hundreds of dollars to drop on Le Creuset cookware (I certainly don’t; mine was a wedding present). But there’s something so adorable about the fun colors Le Creuset offers. I mean, have you SEEN their newest color, “Nectar?” It’s a gorgeous yellow that has me dreaming of brighter days....

(Psst…before we dive in, take a walk down memory with last year’s winners....
Has anyone else been stress baking a bit more than usual the past 6 months? In between pie-baking and bread-kneading adventures, I embarked on what I deemed “cookie-palooza.” During that month, I had a bake-a-thon of sorts, trying a couple new cookie recipes each week. I’d sample one or two—you know, for the sake of quality control—then package up the rest and pack with a handwritten “thinking of you” note to drop off on the doorsteps of friends and family who might need a boost....
By Hilary Achauer @@HilaryAchauer By Barbara Brody Many of us only have a vague answer to the question of ‘what is metabolism?’ Turns out (spoiler!), there’s more to it than simply how much food you can eat without gaining weight. “Metabolism refers to a range of biological processes taking place within your body’s cells and how many calories it takes to do that work,” explains Herman Pontzer, Ph.D., an associate professor of evolutionary anthropology and global health at Duke University and author of Burn....
hard boiled eggs shot overhead on light blue background Credit: Shana Novak / Getty Images Protein is a hot nutrient right now. Partly driven by the success of eating approaches like paleo and keto, protein has become the one macronutrient that people can’t get enough of and are consistently looking for ways to get more over the past 10 years. Protein is perceived to do little harm; in fact, most worry more about not getting enough....
When being super busy leads to a skipped meal or two, it’s tempting to eat every morsel of food in your kitchen once you finally get a minute. But it’s better for your gut if you’re more particular about what you eat following an unintentional fast—even if what you’re about to chow down on is healthy. This is because your GI tract can become more sensitive to certain types of foods if you’ve been running on empty for a while....
It’s the beginning of March and, for many, that signifies the start of spring and the tapering off of winter. The warmer weather leaves many of us (myself included) craving crisp, bright flavors. That being said, the longer days leave me in need of more caffeine, too. In perfect timing, Starbucks just released these three new menu items so you can ring in spring deliciously—and they all happen to be plant-based....
