Even though we’re all more than capable of living a full, beautiful and satisfying life on a budget, sometimes you want to throw your money at something a bit extra and a bit more luxurious. It could be the high tech (but easy to lose) ear buds, a fancy lady wrap dress, a professional quality

Since Dry January started in 2013 with 4,000, it’s come a long way, with more than 100,000 signing up and

A newly published paper in PNAS details a research breakthrough that provides a promising starting point for scientists to create drugs that can cure C. diff—a virulent health care-associated infection that causes severe diarrhea, nausea, internal bleeding, and potentially death. The bacteria affects roughly half-a-million Americans and causes nearly 15,000 deaths in the U.S. annually.

Red Lobster is already making 2020 the most extra year yet with the addition of a new specialty cocktail on their menu.

I’m a bit late to the Whole30 bandwagon, I’ll admit it. The program has been around for 10 years now, but I (along with my husband) only did my first round in January of 2019. Ever the Type-A individual, I read the books, did my homework and promptly made a meal planning spreadsheet that accounted

Just 14 percent of people in the world population have access to palliative care services that allow people to die with dignity and alleviate their suffering, according to new research led by the University of Glasgow.

The brain mechanism that enables us to maintain a constant body temperature may also be the key to rapid weight loss, a new study finds. In experiments involving mice that were given a calorie-restricted diet, scientists at Scripps Research discovered that blocking a brain receptor that normally regulates body heat resulted in significant weight reductions.

We’ve all got those friends who find it hard it stop when it comes to booze. While some people are more than happy to just have one glass of wine over dinner, other people have to order the bottle. And then another. A new study has discovered there’s a scientific reason why some of us

They say balance is the key to a happy life. Whoever “they” are obviously never owned a deep fryer. There’s just something so satisfying about moseying into the kitchen and knowing you have the tools to whip up gooey mozzarella sticks, ballpark-style onion rings and restaurant-quality pizza crust at your disposal. Sure, moms have a

Sure, having a baby means you’re going to deal with about six or more weeks of physical pain and discomfort, but that’s certainly not all you’ll feel. Your hormones are totally out of whack, you’re exhausted and

Sarah Hyland took to Instagram on Saturday, November 23, to share an empowering photo that she says made her feel “insecure” about her body before she “readjusted” her attitude. “To my fellow #invisibleillness warriors.

Scientists have revealed how common respiratory bugs that cause serious infections in people with cystic fibrosis interact together, according to a new study in eLife. The results provide insights into how bacterial pathogens wrestle each other for territory that could open avenues for new antibacterial treatments. Studies of microbes from mouths, intestines, chronic wounds and

Let’s all take a moment to appreciate the saucepan — that humble, hardworking cookware basic that probably rarely leaves your stovetop. The saucepan may be less exciting than, say, your pretty enamel-coated cast iron Dutch oven or your fancy grill pan, but it probably gets a lot more use, too, thanks to convenient sizing (saucepans

Using cells from human breast cancers and mouse breast cancer models, researchers at the Johns Hopkins Kimmel Cancer Center say they have significant new evidence that tumor cells exposed to low-oxygen conditions have an advantage when it comes to invading and surviving in the bloodstream. The experiments mapping the “fate” of the cells in two-

Let’s face it, sex can be weird. So many random things can come up during the act, from farting to crying, to being stuck in, ummm, compromising positions. The thing is — you are not alone the in the weirdness. Unlike porn, when it comes to real sex, you don’t get a ton of retakes

An experimental targeted drug could treat a rare type of cancer usually affecting the limbs, a clinical trial led by The Institute of Cancer Research, London, has shown.
