The real hurdle, if you’re not a fan of curdled cheese, is the texture. It’s equally lumpy, bumpy, and creamy, making it quite polarizing.

As kids, friendship often felt like an accident of proximity: You bonded with the girl you sat next to in math class, the neighbor down the street, and the soccer teammates you saw on Wednesday afternoons.

Text-based therapy can feel like a lifeline, especially for people who aren’t comfortable doing video or in-person chats, or who live in therapy deserts—places where mental healthcare is hard to find.

When crafting a fitness routine, cardio activities and strength training are often put at the top of the to-do list. And rightfully so: To stay on top of your health, you’ll want to engage in at least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity aerobic activity and do two days of strength (resistance) training each week, as recommended by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.
