When TikTok first rose in popularity, it was mostly about celeb sneak peeks, dance crazes and people skateboarding to Fleetwood Mac while drinking cranberry juice straight from the bottle. But as the social media network has evolved, it’s now home to millions of life hacks, including cleaning tricks and delicious recipes. Many of our current favorite TikTok food trends either revolve around: Brilliant ways to add more fruits veggies to any meal (ahem, bell pepper nachos, blueberry cookies and smashed Brussels sprouts)Carb remixes (such as the four-part tortilla hack or THE feta pasta)Ideas to mix up a ho-hum breakfast routine...

Every year, my garden gets bigger. This year I may have gone a little overboard. I’m harvesting way more produce than I can eat and with all the effort I’ve put in, I would hate to watch my vegetables wither in the fridge. So I’m making quick-pickled vegetables (not just cucumber pickles!). You can pickle pretty much any veggie in the refrigerator: tomatillos, carrots, okra, beets, peppers, turnips, avocado. Then jazz them up with some seasonings, such as pickling spice, garlic and fresh dill....

Shrimp Kakiage Tempura Credit: Rick Poon When I see asparagus at the farmers’ market in springtime, or eggplants and carrots growing in my summer garden, I get inspired to make kakiage. Kakiage is an “all-in-one” tempura. It consists of bits of vegetables or a combination of seafood and vegetables deep-fried into a fritter. I love deep-frying vegetables, especially when I see good ones, because deep-frying is like steaming: You seal the moisture and flavor of the ingredient and its nutrients inside that crispy crust....

Stuffed peppers are one of our favorite healthy dinners to make during the week. They’re easily customizable, easy to make, elegant to serve and often feature a nice healthy mix of protein, carbs and fat. Plus, bell peppers are high in vitamin A, vitamin C, potassium and more. Through the years, we’ve developed fan favorites ranging from Cauliflower Rice-Stuffed Peppers and Philly Cheesesteak Stuffed Peppers to Chicken Parmesan and Quinoa Stuffed Peppers, Air-Fryer Turkey Stuffed Peppers and even Shrimp-and-Grits-Stuffed Peppers....

Staying hydrated throughout the day is key to boosting your overall health—it can help you feel happier and more productive, support your metabolism and help keep your skin healthy and elastic. That’s why you’ll want to make sure you’re drinking water each day (and maybe even snacking on fruits like cucumber and watermelon that are more than 90% water). Getting your fill of fluids each day can also lighten the burden on your heart....

Diet soda is a go-to for people who love the taste of regular soda but can do without the sugar and calories. An average can of regular cola may contain a whopping 37 grams of sugar, and consuming too much sugar is linked to outcomes like obesity and poor heart health. So it makes sense that you may seek out a sugar-free alternative. But while drinking diet soda does help people reduce their sugar intake, this simple act can also expose a person to other ingredients that may be linked to some health problems....

When I first learned about the ketogenic diet over 10 years ago—in a clinical setting, as a way to help kids with epileptic seizures—I would have never (like, never ever) guessed it would become one of the top weight-loss diets. But here we are, in 2020, and the keto craze rages on. In case you are unaware, the ketogenic diet is an ultra high-fat, low-carb style of eating. No foods are off limits, but you’re supposed to keep your carbs under 5 percent of your total calories for the day or around 20 grams depending on your energy needs....

Featured recipe: Quinoa, Avocado & Chickpea Salad over Mixed Greens Plant-based diets have skyrocketed in popularity over the last few years, as more research shows cutting back on meat-and upping our plant intake-is vital for our health and the environment. Ringing endorsements from fit celebrities like Beyonce, the Williams sisters, Carrie Underwood and Meghan Markle don’t hurt, either! In the five years since I’ve been vegan, I have seen the number of vegan proteins, cheeses and yogurts at my local grocery store expand immensely....

3 Ways to Limit Processed Foods (& The Ones You Should Keep In Your Diet) Pictured recipe: Superfood Chopped Salad with Salmon & Creamy Garlic Dressing OK, OK, we know calories are important. It’s basic weight-loss math: You need to eat fewer calories than you burn if you want the pounds to come off. But when you get caught up counting calories, you can miss the bigger picture. After all, we eat food not numbers, and our bodies don’t treat all calories the same....

What you eat and drink can have an immense impact on your heart health. Plus, your blood pressure, cholesterol and blood sugar (all of which are affected by your diet) are major contributors to your heart health. We know that there are dietary changes you can make to support your ticker, like snacking on blueberries and opting for whole grains whenever possible. And now a new study in Circulation, the American Heart Association’s journal on cardiovascular health, has found that cutting just 200 calories from your diet each day could also be a game-changer....

A growing body of research suggests that a lot of our dementia risk is in our own hands. The brain-boosting Rx most research focuses on is related to consuming a well-balanced diet, moving our bodies and staying mentally and socially active. These are definitely all still vital (see the 13 scientifically-proven things that could make you more likely to get Alzheimer’s for a reminder!), but a new study published in the Journal of the American Geriatrics Society highlights another very impactful habit: Playing music....
