Key Takeaways Regression is when someone acts younger as a way to handle stress or anxiety.Adults sometimes regress during stressful situations, like a college freshman staying up late before a test. Regression is a psychological defense mechanism in which an individual copes with stressful or anxiety-provoking relationships or situations by retreating to an earlier developmental stage. Regression may be seen at any stage of development in both adults and children when someone behaves in a way that’s immature or inappropriate for their age. For example, an older adult who is hospitalized after being diagnosed with a medical issue may deal…
If you’re at a high risk of infection — for example, if your current sexual partner has HIV — taking an oral or injectable medication called PrEP can lower your risk of contracting HIV from sex by about 99 percent.[9]PrEP pills can also cut the risk of transmission among people who inject drugs by more than 74 percent. PrEP injections are not recommended for people who inject drugs.[9] In addition to taking PrEP, people who inject drugs can lower their HIV risk by using sterile needles and syringes. These can be obtained without a prescription at pharmacies and through syringe programs…

Trust that much.” ~Geneen Roth I may be showing my age, but here goes… It has come to my attention that I’m like a paddle ball. To anyone born in the 21st century: for context, before handheld devices ruled the world, kids entertained themselves with simple analog toys—such as the paddle ball. Picture a small flat paddle (like a small ping-pong paddle) with a rubber ball attached to the center by…

He says their consistent flavor makes them impossible to resist.The Office star’s Thanksgiving hot take: sweet potato casserole with marshmallows is too sweet. I sat down with The Office star and chili enthusiast Brian Baumgartner and at his Chili Nights event with Bush’s Chili Beans, powered by Eventbrite.

Cottage cheese has been blessed with an image overhaul. Once considered a stodgy health food, it’s now a popular recipe add-in thanks to its sky-high protein content—a huge advantage in a day and age that treats protein like the be-all and end-all of nutrition, as SELF has previously reported.For people who eat dairy (because not everyone does!), “cottage cheese is a really excellent concentrated protein source,” Desiree Nielsen, RD, a recipe developer with a focus on plant-based nutrition, tells SELF. While it also contains other vital nutrients—like calcium, phosphorus, and vitamin B12—protein is really the standout: Just a half-cup of…
Membership & contentOne thing to be aware of: while you can use the rower in “Just Row” mode (i.e., without a membership), the full experience—leaderboards, workout library (row, strength, yoga, mobility, circuit, etc.)—requires a $44/month membership (one per machine). Hydrow claims ~5,000+ on-demand workouts across modalities. It feels worthwhile with the amount of content you get, and it’s still cheaper than a typical gym membership. However, it’s definitely something you’ll need to factor into your well-being budget.
But this research also highlights something hopeful. Even in a landscape dominated by UPFs, shifting back toward whole and minimally processed foods—slowly, consistently, and in ways that feel doable—can meaningfully support your health. These foods deliver the fiber, antioxidants, and nutrients your body relies on to regulate appetite, stabilize blood sugar, calm inflammation, and fuel long-term well-being.

While other streaming services thrive on carefully selected and endlessly curated (meaning: limited) selections of movies, Tubi’s a bit different: It feels like the Wild West, with everything from originals to popular hits to critically acclaimed favorites to the lowest-brow, lowest-budget movies you’ll find this side of an old Blockbuster. In that spirit, here’s a sampling of some of the best stuff currently streaming on Tubi. It’s a wide variety—the streamer will not be pinned down. (If you’re unfamiliar, Tubi is a free, ad-based service, but generally I find the…
