For such a long time, if a person experienced a sexual assault that didn’t involve penetrative rape, it went largely ignored.

Now, thanks to more and more

An international clinical trial that studied wearable cardioverter defibrillators (WCDs) found that the devices did not significantly reduce sudden cardiac death—the primary goal of the device—among patients assigned to the device in the first 90 days after a heart attack, but did lower mortality among those who wore it as prescribed, according to a study

The good news? There are so many delish vegan Thanksgiving recipes that will fit seamlessly into your spread. Staples like roasted Brussels sprouts and colorful

Smoothies are kind of amazing. They’re a quick and easy way to grab some food when you’re on the go, they help you get a bunch of nutrients at once, and, of course, they taste pretty awesome. But when you’re on a high-fat, low-carb diet like keto, it’s natural to wonder if you can even

You get a positive pregnancy test, and immediately, your mind starts reeling. How? What? Why? A tiny human is going to exit my body?! (OK maybe not "how" — that part is usually pretty self-explanatory.) But topping the question list is likely, "How on Earth am I going to get through the next nine months?"

It seems like we only hear about Child Protective Services when terrible things happen. Like the five kids in Lansing, Michigan, who were locked in a “dungeon” without food, water or a chance to use the bathroom for days at a time over a period of at least six years. Naturally, Michigan CPS came under

TUESDAY, Sept. 11, 2018 — No matter what your watch says, your body may be on a whole other schedule.

I didn’t think I could love Chrissy Teigen any more than I already did. Then I watched her gag over mustard-flavored potato chips, and now I think I’d die for her. During her cover shoot, the Women’s Health cover star gamely tried 10 different types of crazy-flavored chips purely for your amusement (and also, journalism!).

Taking a bite of a whole apple is a no-brainer—the skin is all shiny, colorful, and pretty! But a kiwi? That poop-brown, kinda hairy fruit? No, thanks. Apparently, that’s exactly what you’re supposed to do though. “Yes, it is safe to eat the skin of kiwi,” says Maggie Moon, R.D., and author of The MIND

It’s far too easy to get stuck in a routine when it comes to making drinks at home. But what is the point of having that totally darling bar cart in the corner if you usually end up just popping open a bottle of wine or throwing back some beer? Amp up your cocktail game

People have used hookahs for centuries in ancient Persia and India. Today, people often smoke a hookah as a group, at home or in cafes or lounges.

Avocado fiends, if you could get paid eating avocados, would you do it? Because the opportunity has finally arrived thanks to a researcher at the Loma Linda University in Southern California. Dr. Joan Sabaté, who directs the Center for Nutrition, Lifestyle and Disease Prevention at the university, is looking for 250 people to eat a

I once shared an apartment with a girl who liked to eat raw vegetables for breakfast. One morning, I walked out of my bedroom at 7 a.m. to find her biting into a green pepper like it was an apple. The next day, it was a whole carrot that she nibbled on like a bunny.

Music is almost universal. Every society on earth has music blended into its culture, and music, inevitably, brings dance. But why are we so driven to move our limbs, heads, and bodies to rhythmic sounds? A facet of music that often goes hand in hand with dancing is the heavy use of bass. Be it

Do you remember the first time you had a real talk with female friends about sex, feelings, or bodies? One of the reasons Sex and the City, for all its issues, struck such a chord with its viewers is because of just how purely and raunchily it addressed all three. Breaking into an honest place

How much do you change between high school and retirement? The answer depends on whether you’re comparing yourself to others or to your younger self.
