If the microbiome of those eating plant-based diets protects against the toxic effects of TMAO, what about swapping gut flora? “Almost 2,500 years ago, Hippocrates stated that ‘All disease begins in the gut.’” When we feed our gut bacteria right with whole plant foods, they feed us right back with beneficial compounds like butyrate, which our gut bugs make from fiber. On the other hand, if we feed them wrong, they can produce detrimental compounds like TMAO, which they make from cheese, eggs, seafood, and other meat. We used to think that TMAO only contributed to cardiovascular diseases, like heart…

The Sony ULT Field 5 is currently $191.95 on Amazon, down from $349.99, and that price drop is what finally makes this speaker feel properly positioned. At full price, it was competing with larger, louder options that offered more raw power for the money. With this discount, it makes more sense as a mid-size outdoor speaker that prioritizes bass, durability, and flexibility. PCMag gave it an “excellent” rating, largely because it delivers deeper low-end sound than most speakers in…
Norovirus is the top cause of cruise-related foodborne illness outbreaks. Handwashing before meals is your best defense against viral spread on board. Avoid buffet lines and eat early to minimize exposure to contaminated food.

In order to have a successful trip (read: free of stomach aches or trips to the physician on board), it’s best to take…
Key Takeaways The “wall of awful” describes a mental barrier that makes starting important tasks feel extremely hard for people with ADHD.The wall builds over time from shame, fear, and past negative experiences, and can affect self-esteem and mental health.Small steps, kinder self-talk, and support from a therapist can help make the wall feel more manageable. When you have attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), “simple” tasks can seem insurmountable. This is a feature of executive dysfunction—or difficulty managing certain cognitive skills like planning, self-regulation, and starting tasks. People who experience this are sometimes called “lazy,” but this could not be further from…

It’s made from ‘sheep’s pluck’ – the finely chopped liver, heart and lungs, mixed with oatmeal, suet, herbs, spices and seasoning, packed into a natural casing (traditionally sheep intestines), which is not eaten, then boiled.For the ultimate selection of Scottish-inspired recipes, see our Burns Night collection and Burns Night drink recipes, or create a traditional Burns Night feast with our classic Burns Night menu.

It’s no coincidence that toxic in-laws are such a popular trope in movies—and the star of some of the juiciest, most upvoted threads on Reddit. Understandably, getting along with someone else’s family is a major learning curve, and it’s even harder when their behaviors range from overbearing and controlling to straight-up disrespectful and cruel.The dynamic is uniquely complicated because sure, they’re family—but not the one you’ve grown up with, which can make setting boundaries difficult. And any brewing tension isn’t just between you and them: You’ve got your partner’s emotions to consider, too, Nedra Tawwab, LCSW, a licensed therapist based…
Key Takeaways People act less often in groups because they think someone else will help.Seeing a person directly ask for help makes others more likely to act.In big groups, some feel they can hide not doing their part. Diffusion of responsibility is a psychological phenomenon in which people are less likely to take action when in the presence of a large group of people. For example, imagine you are in a large city on a bustling street. You notice a man fall to the ground and start convulsing as if having a seizure. Many people turn and look at the…
