ICYMI, determining someone’s health by checking their body mass index is … well, not it. For decades, BMI was used as a major indicator of one’s health.

Lately, chicken isn’t chicken anymore, and fish isn’t fish. As a result of our cultural fascination with nutrition, they’re referred to simply as “proteins.” It’s an oversimplification that reduces meat, fish and even plant-based proteins to a single nutritional component. But “proteins” have unique assortments of fats, vitamins and minerals, depending on which kind you […]

It has been an unpleasantly hot summer in much of the country, with many states already seeing heat waves ― and the blistering temperatures are expected to stick around.

From a young age we’re told to stand up straight. Many people probably even have memories of walking around the house with a book on their head to help improve their posture (I know I do).
