Or have you? Follow these food-safety tips to keep in mind to avoid serving up a side of salmonella or some other unwanted dinner guest.

You probably already know that drinking water will help you stay hydrated, but certain foods can also help increase your hydration levels. These foods include those with a high water content, such as cucumbers, watermelon, bell peppers and tomatoes....
Nonstick pans may quell our apprehension about getting that fried egg out of the skillet and onto a plate. But for many, that same slick coating—commonly made from a group of synthetic chemicals called PFAS (perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances)— does raise concerns about its potential impact on their health and the environment. Flame-retardant and water-resistant, PFAS have become ubiquitous in manufacturing since they were introduced in 1946. There are now more than 600 unique types of these chemicals currently used in the U....
Cholesterol is arguably one of the most misunderstood nutrients. Remember the days when eating egg yolks was a diet taboo? Or when there was a low-fat version of everything? This is in large part due to misconception that many held around dietary cholesterol and how it influences your health. Luckily for us, more and more research is coming to light about cholesterol levels, heart health, the cholesterol that’s naturally present in food (also called dietary cholesterol) and how they’re all intertwined....

If you’re increasing the number of minutes you exercise a day or week, or starting a grueling new fitness program for the promise of a flat belly, be prepared: Those pounds may not only remain the same but even creep upwards. You’re probably thinking, “Hey, but exercise is supposed to help me lose weight and burn calories.” And yes, in theory, it does. But in practice, many who start to an exercise regimen find themselves eating more as a reward for all those tough workouts-and putting on more pounds than they burn....

“Heart disease? Oh, c’mon, that’s so old school.” So went my thinking as I rode a conveyor belt into a CT scan in one of those dreary medical-imaging facilities I’d managed to avoid for the entirety of my 51 years. I was fairly certain this was just another test that didn’t really apply to me, one of the many my doctor had tacked on to the growing list of exams we Americans find ourselves subjected to as we move through the decades....

The Weight Watchers program, or WW+ as it’s called now, has been totally updated in the few years to be more whole-health focused. The new program focuses on healthy eating, exercise, sleep and even mental health (a total win in our book!). I used Weight Watchers a few years ago to lose about 20 pounds before my wedding. Though I don’t follow it as religiously now, I still have the app on my phone and use it for recipe inspo (like Kate Hudson’s favorite zero-point salmon or Katie Lee’s cauliflower-based pasta sauce), workouts and even free guided meditations....

Photo: Getty / grinvalds Being gassy stinks, sometimes literally. Sure, it’s a totally normal part of being human (word is most people let one rip between 10 and 20 times a day), but if you’re feeling the effects of excessive gas more often than not and it’s getting uncomfortable-or straight-up embarrassing-what’s the best way to turn things around? “Intestinal gas is comprised of oxygen, carbon dioxide, and nitrogen from swallowed air, as well as methane and hydrogen from food being broken down by colonic bacteria,” says Marc Bernstein, MD, gastroenterologist at Florida Digestive Health Specialists....
