A dream come true! Rob Kardashian and Blac Chyna welcomed their daughter, Dream, in November 2016 via C-section and have been posting sweet pictures of the little one ever since. “She’s an exact copy,” the E! personality wrote on Instagram after her arrival, comparing the newborn to his late father, Robert Kardashian Sr. “Pops sent

If you’ve hesitated when picking between white rice and brown rice while ordering from your favorite takeout joint, you’re definitely not the only one. White rice tastes so good soaked in sweet and sour sauce, but isn’t brown rice better for you? Considering the age of keto and low-carb everything has many people throwing grains

Starbucks is giving customers an early holiday gift once again. Last year, customers went bonkers when the store handed out free reusable red cups to coincide with the return of Starbucks’ classic holiday drink line-up.

Walking: it’s free,  it doesn't require fancy footwear and we were born to do it. A stroll benefits our body and brain in an abundance of ways, which is no doubt why Hippocrates called it “man’s best medicine”, but: why exactly is walking so good for us? Walking: We can do it anytime, anywhere.Credit:Getty 1.

The average runner will never run as fast as Eliud Kipchoge – no one can. When Eliud runs he floats gracefully along not looking like he’s even breathing hard – which is inspiring but also a little annoying given so many runners, like me, look anything but graceful when we run. The legendary Kenyan marathoner

Sleep is one of those things that’s necessary for absolutely everybody, while also being pretty hard to understand to understand or find for some. Insomnia is an ever-present spectre for some, while conditions like sleep paralysis, sleep apnea, severe snoring, or night terrors pervade the lives of others. Given that sleep can affect everything from

If you’re vegan, you already know to scrutinize labels for hidden animal products. (Hello, sneaky additions of eggs and dairy.) Some foods are pretty clear-cut—that handful of raw almonds is a solid bet. But others…not so much. Take pretzels for example—are they vegan? Well, the short answer is: yes. And the longer answer is: sometimes

In a paper published today in the Journal of Medical Screening, researchers from King’s College London and Queen Mary University of London have found that despite free cancer screening programmes, only 35% take part in all offered programmes. In England, women are invited for screening for three types of cancer concurrently in their sixties; for

When it comes to a healthy breakfast, kid-friendly options can feel a little bit limited. Eggs often aren’t an option, and how many days in a row can you really serve yogurt parfait before somebody throws a fit?

As automation advances, predictions of a jobless future have some fearing unrest from mass unemployment, while others imagine a more contented work-free society. Aside from economic factors, paid employment brings other benefits—often psychological—such as self-esteem and social inclusion. Now, researchers at the universities of Cambridge and Salford have set out to define a recommended “dosage”

The advent of the #MeToo movement showed how quickly we can challenge the sort of discrimination that was become so normal we barely batted an eyelid. Perhaps it is same sort of social uprising needed to address the health gap of gender; a gap that sees women and the LGBQI community worse off, but also

If you spent your post-Mother’s Day brunch intermittently napping on the couch and scrolling through Instagram, you’re not alone (Bloody Marys and Eggs Benedict are basically Ambien). That also means you may have noticed something a little strange on your IG feed – all of your fave celeb moms were wearing the same thing! It’s

Each May, the United States celebrates Mother’s Day, and for good reason. According to surveys I’ve conducted, over 25% of Americans cite their mother as their number one hero. Fathers come in a distant second at 16%. Moms are indeed the mother of all heroes. More than 60 years ago, psychologist Abraham Maslow proposed his

MONDAY, Jan. 14, 2019 — The holidays, winter weather and the flu season have all prompted a blood shortage, the American Red Cross warns. The organization said Monday it had about 27,000 fewer blood and platelet donations than needed over Christmas and New Year’s. People nationwide, especially those with type O blood, are urged to

Meghan Markle’s commitment to the Hubb Community Kitchen in London — and the Grenwell survivors who use the kitchen — is inspiring. Not only has she visited frequently since the fire in June 2017 and dedicated an entire cookbook to the women of Hubb, but she also helped them cook and pack 300 meals in
