At MensHealth.com, we spend a lot of time talking about how to get rock-hard abs. But the truth is, having a hard stomach isn’t always a good thing. In fact, if you have excess belly fat and it’s hard to the touch, it can be a sign that you’re at increased risk of serious illness.

You’ve probably heard that eating certain foods can make your acne ten times worse (sup, pizza!). But according to new research, it’s time to put this theory to bed. “Fried foods are often linked to blemishes as people think they cause greasy skin,” explains Pam Smyrnios, beauty and Makeup educator at The Masters Institute of Creative Education. “But

Your crab cakes are trying to kill you. In what can only be treated as their final act of revenge, crabs from Venezuela have been discovered to be contaminated with a bacterium called Vibrio parahaemolyticus that’s now infecting people who dare to consume them. The crab that is suspected to be the source of the

Starbucks is making moves to become a more inclusive, accessible, and eco-friendly coffee shop this year. First, the store overhauled their customer-only bathroom policy after an incident involving the police earlier this year, then they announced they’re going straw-free, and now the company will open up a new store dedicated to making ordering coffee more

I was five years old when I had my first migraine. When my parents took me to the doctor, they told them these “headaches” would go away as I got older. They didn’t. As I got older, the migraines got worse. The debilitating pain would come at least once a week, and when I was

Kilojoules, macros, percentages, grams. The path to healthy eating can feel so complex sometimes. But, what if it could be as simple as listening to your gut? Quite literally. That’s the idea behind intuitive eating, which encourages us to let go of guilt or fear around food, and instead nourish and tune into what our

Here’s some exciting news for anyone who basically lives on RX Bars (which includes us, by the way): A few select flavors of the popular protein bars are on sale for Prime Day today.

Whether you are a spicy tuna roll aficionado or simply can’t live without your weekly dose of a negi hamachi roll, there’s no denying it: Sushi is freaking amazing. But while you would love to schedule a nightly date with a king crab roll for one and a platter of sashimi on the side if

Macaroni and cheese gets a bad rap for being an unhealthy indulgence — especially when referring to the canned or boxed variety. On the outside, macaroni and cheese is just cheese and carbs, but dive a little deeper, and you’ll find that America’s favorite comfort food has some surprising health benefits. While you probably shouldn’t

There’s nothing quite like biting into a fresh, juicy strawberry. Or making creamy mashed potatoes from scratch instead of settling for paste-like dried flakes. But unfortunately, fresh produce can go bad too quickly, which is stressful when you’re trying to meal plan and wasteful when you find yourself throwing out expensive food week after week. Luckily,

Meal replacement shakes often get a bad rap. Many people think they’re full of bad-for-you ingredients, like excessive amounts of sugar, or that they taste like fruit-flavored, liquefied chalk.

I’m just going to say it right now: Cranberries (and cranberry juice) will not cure your urinary tract infection. Or prevent you from getting one. Don’t shoot the messenger!
