Heart racing. Palms, clammy. Breath, shaky and sporadic. You’re probably well-acquainted with the body’s stress response, a.k.a. fight-or-flight, aptly nicknamed for what it has evolved over millennia to help us do in the face of a threat. The problem is, modern life is full of perceived threats, like, for instance, gridlock traffic or the 24-hour news barrage, that can keep your stress response always-on.

Simply put, some foods just don’t belong in the freezer. Thanks to their chemical makeup or high water content, freezing can change their texture, flavor, or consistency in ways that make them unappetizing—or even inedible—after thawing. And tossing a soggy, separated, or curdled mess into the trash isn’t just disappointing, it’s a waste of time and money. Take fresh produce with high water content, for example—it often turns to mush once defrosted. Eggs and many dairy products can separate or develop an odd texture that’s hard to salvage. To help you avoid freezer fails, we asked recipe developer and cookbook…
In your younger years, you need about 0.8 grams of protein per kilogram of your bodyweight a day (that’s 0.36 grams per pound for the non-metric system users among us). As you age, that number goes up to about 1.0–1.2 g/kg (0.45–0.54 g/lb) each day. Older bodies get less efficient at using protein to build muscle, so you need to give it more to work with to keep up the same muscle mass.Keeping up with your protein helps ward off sarcopenia (loss of muscle mass, strength, and function), and it also supports metabolic health, immunity, and hormone regulation, says Lon…
