Even if you have reached expert label-reading levels, going out to eat can pose its own set of difficulties. How can you know the fat levels of each dish? In general, Simpson recommends avoiding alcohol, fruit juices, salad with dressing, potatoes, or fatty meat and fish. Instead, he suggests looking for fresh vegetables and low-fat fish like grilled or broiled cod.“Avoid menu items with words like ‘au gratin,’ ‘creamy,’ ‘crispy,’ ‘fried,’ or ‘sautéed,’ which usually indicate high-fat foods,” says Sheehan.

It’s true—magic happens when the leaves of each Brussels sprout…

So, whether it’s due to personal preference (turkey’s just not your thing), flavor (maybe…
NOW Health Group (Bloomingdale, IL) continued its testing program of supplements sold on Amazon. This round of testing focused on the popular herb St. John’s wort. Results showed that every single product (except for NOW’s brand) failed potency testing.

According to NOW, St. John’s wort (Hypericum perforatum) is used to support mood balance and emotional well-being.

When you think about the tech companies leading the AI race, Apple is pretty much at the bottom of the list. That’s not necessarily a bad thing, as far as I’m concerned.
