Key Takeaways Comments about weight loss can be harmful, especially for those with a history of disordered eating.Society often views weight loss as inherently positive, but this mentality can fuel unhealthy thoughts and behaviors related to food.Focusing on complimenting personal qualities or achievements instead of appearance helps support healthier self-esteem and body image. I started my first diet when I was eight years old. It began with skipping breakfast and eliminating certain foods, and evolved to not eating for extended periods of the day. I believed that the less I ate, the more weight I could lose and the more…
Growing up, my family’s Thanksgiving meal went something like this: Dad smoked the turkey and baked a ham and my mom, the ultimate home cook, made everything else. That usually meant three or four side dishes and a couple of desserts. As my siblings and I got older and had families of our own, we pitched in with more side dishes and desserts.

Mushroom-based products make up a sizable chunk of the $50 billion supplement market. “This profitable trade provides a powerful incentive for companies to test the credulity of their customers and unsupported assertions have come to define the medical mushroom business.” For example, companies marketing herbal medicines “exploit references to studies on mice in their promotion of mushroom capsules and throat sprays for treating all kinds of ailments”—but we aren’t mice.…
Some medications for cold and flu can react with caffeine, causing side effects for some people, like jitters and high blood pressure. Caffeine usually leaves your system after a few hours, so space out coffee from your medications. Staying hydrated when you’re sick is important, so try water, broth and herbal tea. When you have a cold or the flu, reaching for an over-the-counter medication to take with your usual morning coffee may feel like second nature. But pairing caffeine, found in coffee, energy drinks and supplements, with certain cold and flu medications can do more harm than good. That’s because the…
Bones are living tissue and get stronger with regular movement, good nutrition, rest and care.Weight-bearing exercise, protein, calcium, vitamin D and other nutrients all help preserve bone strength.Small weekly habits—like mindful movement and prioritizing recovery—can keep bones strong for life. Our bones are not as solid and stagnant as they may seem. They’re living tissue that renews itself constantly, and they require regular care. As adulthood advances, especially past midlife, bone strength becomes even more important. Weak bones increase the risk of fractures and can affect mobility, and when bones or joints feel achy or stiff, it can be a…
