Key Takeaways While you can’t get addicted to dopamine itself, you can become addicted to the activities that increase dopamine levels.Setting boundaries and practicing mindfulness can help you avoid becoming dependent on activities that boost dopamine.If you’re struggling to control your behaviors, talking to a doctor or therapist can help. Dopamine is a neurotransmitter—or brain chemical—that people sometimes call the “feel good” hormone. That’s because when we do things that trigger the release of dopamine, we feel good. In fact, we sometimes feel so good that we seek out those experiences over and over again. Pleasure is something we all…
The evidence is mixed regarding artificial sweeteners, weight loss and gut health.This study suggests artificial sweeteners may help maintain modest weight loss and increase gut-supporting microbes.Given several major study limitations, the study’s results are uncertain, so stick with whole foods and limit sugar and sugar substitutes. Managing body weight can be a confusing and frustrating journey. Check 10 different weight-loss websites and you’ll likely get 10 conflicting recommendations. But one common denominator among weight-loss experts (and influencers) is that too much added sugar is likely to contribute to weight gain.

We may earn a commission from links on this page. Scheduling your day is an important part of being productive. You can (and should) prioritize your to-dos by timeliness and time box your way to a jam-packed, detailed schedule, but there’s more to time management than that. You should also consider dividing up not only your day, but your week overall, to maximize productivity. The trick here is to theme your workdays. Instead of jumping from task to task on any given day, try grouping all the similar ones together and parking them on a specific day, when your schedule…
Here’s a bit of life lately! Some of you are already putting up Christmas trees, but I am still very focused on fall leaves! (I am from the camp that Christmas starts the day Thanksgiving ends!! Although, I will permit light holiday music during the month of November 🙂 ) Halloween Encore Party In fact, Halloween extended into November for us! Since Oct 31 was on a Friday, Saturday Nov 1 we celebrated two of our friends’ birthdays with a belated Halloween bash. And BOY did these women go all out with the decorations and theme.

It’s no secret that Aldi shoppers love the “Aisle of Shame.” Every week, the German retailer gives it a refresh, filling the section with new and returning seasonal food, reusable shopping bags, holiday-themed mugs, and more. However, one of the aisle’s biggest draws is its cookware. Often, you’ll find the chain’s signature brands, Crofton and Ambiano, lining the shelves, offering gourmet brand look-alikes for a fraction of the price. And while we love the store’s affordable copycats, nothing compares to the excitement of finding the real deal on shelves. This week, we spotted a brand-name blender at a price so…
Key Takeaways It’s okay to have feelings of dislike towards family members, and it doesn’t make you a bad person.Setting boundaries with your family can help protect your mental health.Consider seeking help from a therapist if family relationships cause distress. Not everyone feels a close connection to their families. In some cases, people may even find themselves thinking, “I hate my family.” Because family relationships are often rooted in both shared experiences and proximity, it’s little wonder that they can sometimes be fraught. Joshua Coleman, PhD, a clinical psychologist and author of When Parents Hurt: Compassionate Strategies When You and…
Even before I started consulting with experts (like cardiologists) about kitchen gear, I used to shudder every time I wrapped everyday items in plastic wrap. I knew there had to be a better way to preserve those random lemon halves— for the environment, my health and my wallet. Once I started to understand more about microplastics, I realized plastic was everywhere I turned in my kitchen, and I had to make swaps. That is what 2025 became for me: the year of glass containers, wooden cutting boards and these (positively genius) beeswax wraps. Out of all of the changes I…

When blood vessels, which carry blood throughout your body, get injured, clots form to stop the bleeding. As you heal, your body should absorb the clots as they dissolve. However, sometimes these clots remain and restrict blood flow.A clot that forms in a major vein is called deep vein thrombosis (DVT).Although DVTs are most likely to form in the deep veins of your legs, they can also form in your arms, according to the American Society of Hematology. It’s possible for them to develop in your pelvis and other deep veins as well.Symptoms of a Blood Clot in the ArmDVT…
