If you can’t eat fish tacos without getting sauce on your shirt or leaving a trail of lettuce behind you, imagine eating them sans gravity. Fortunately, Cristoforetti has it down to a science....
MORE: The Real Truth about the FDA’s Attack on Kind Bars So how are food companies getting away with this? It’s all thanks to a legal loophole set up way back in the 1950s that allows companies to fast-track approval of certain ingredients—even ones that may cause life-threatening allergic reactions. This video from the Center for Public Integrity explains it all, including the fact that companies have added at least 1,000 ingredients to the food supply without ever telling the FDA....

Alzheimer’s is a form of dementia where brain cells degenerate and die, causing problems with memory, thinking, and behavior. Most people get it after age 65; but up to 5% (or roughly 200,000 Americans) start suffering early, in their 40s and 50s. The symptoms sneak up slowly, but eventually start to interfere with your quality of life. That’s what prompted Coach Summitt to get checked—she started forgetting when team meetings were and occasionally drew blanks when calling plays....
Somewhere between tinted moisturizer and heavy foundation lies a new, major multitasker called a BB cream. Short for beauty balms or blemish balms, these tinted creams are a foundation, sunscreen, moisturizer, and anti-aging treatment all in one tube. It can be a little hard to get your head around at first; many women use 8 to 10 products on their face every morning. The idea of replacing four of those with one can seem almost like…cheating....
And transglutaminase is everywhere—your supermarket, the deli where you eat lunch, and the fast food chain you pretend you don’t frequent as often as you do. Everywhere, that is, except for your food label, according to an investigation by Scripps. Like pink slime, because transglutaminase is used in processing, it’s not required to be listed on a food label. Ok, we get it. Processed beef is disgusting. End of story, right?...
Adding mindfulness to diet and exercise plan may improve your weight loss success, according to a study published in Complementary Therapies in Medicine. Mindfulness? Yes. Because the more that you are aware of what you do, how you feel and how you behave, the better you will be able to recognize old eating patterns and establish new ones. Mindfulness involves “being in the present moment, in being non-judgmental toward one’s thoughts and emotions and oneself, accepting whatever that moment brings,” says Sofia Rydin-Gray, PhD, who counsels clients enrolled at Duke Diet & Fitness Center in Durham, North Carolina....
Ashley’s answer: No. Assuming that nuts are grown, stored, and processed the same way, there is not an overall “healthiest” nut out there. One nut is just as crazy good as the next. But yes, nuts do differ tremendously in their nutrient content and value—and that’s a great thing, since you can swap in your favorites for the nuts you don’t like, or if you like them all, you can toss them into a mixture....
I have something to admit: For someone who is obsessed with kale, I have been a bit skeptical of kale pesto. I thought, how can kale pesto taste good? It doesn’t have an exciting scent or taste like basil or mint, so how is it going to flavor a pesto? Well, after making one batch, I now have a whole new level of respect for kale. I’m not quite sure why it is, but kale pesto is crazy good....
[sidebar]Here are three reasons to wake up and walk: You’ll feel invigorated. An AM stroll gives you a natural energy boost. One study found that morning walkers were more likely to stay active all day long. Bonus: The extra activity didn’t increase their appetite. You’ll be a whiz at work. Regular exercise increases production of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), a protein that boosts mental acuity. So schedule important meetings after your morning walk to score a mental advantage....
No doubt about it: More women than ever are kicking butt in the professional world. But one area we’re still lacking? Demanding the salary we deserve, according to new research. In a new study out of the University of Chicago, researchers posted two types of job advertisements. The first noted that salaries were negotiable, while the second didn’t mention any wiggle room. Women responding to the first ad were just as likely as men to ask for more money (yay!...

There are plenty more commonly known diseases and disorders that also present with symptoms that can lead doctors to mistakenly declare them psychosomatic or attribute them to a different illness altogether. And the harder an illness is to determine, the more likely you are to get that incredibly frustrating “all in your head” diagnosis. Read on for the 9 most common. Fibromyalgia Widespread pain, sleep problems, fatigue, headache, tingling of the hands and feet, along with cognitive issues such as memory loss can all be symptoms of fibromyalgia, says Navid Farahmand, MD, a board-certified pain management physician with the Brain and Spine Institute of California in Newport Beach, CA....
You agreed to stick it out through sickness and health and for richer or poorer, but marital vows don’t address the other big things that can untie your knot—boredom, feeling out of touch—or worse, platonic friendship instead of an in-love partnership. While honeymoon headiness will inevitably decline, that doesn’t mean your relationship has to nosedive as well. In fact, some of marriage’s best highlights—raising a family and developing a deeper, more profound connection—require years of togetherness....
