That’s why we did the extra legwork to vet each of these brands, not only for quality and nontoxic materials but for environmental efforts, too. Read on to find out how some of the best memory foam mattresses stack up in terms of quality, sustainability, comfort, and more....

Implementing regular cardio workouts into your routine improves your cardiovascular health and cognitive function1—plus, it gives you an always-appreciated boost of endorphins2. Most commonly found in CrossFit gyms and HIIT studios, air bikes differ from traditional cycling in that they offer an intense full-body workout. With more options available than ever, you can now invest in an air bike for your own home and reap the many health benefits, without needing to book time at the studio....

The concept, called hormesis (which you can read all about here), states that periodic stressors will trigger a cellular response that may slow aging, better equip you to manage future stress, and enhance overall health. Case in point: infrared sauna therapy. Compared to traditional saunas, which use some form of physical heat (wood or stones heated by fire, gas, or electricity) to raise the temperature, infrared saunas rely on infrared light, a wavelength invisible to the human eye that presents itself through heat....

After all, a quality multi can ensure you’re getting adequate amounts of the essential nutrients you need on a daily basis. Even better, an innovative formula designed for women over 50 will deliver additional ingredients for your specific health needs—like antioxidants, energizing vitamins, and hormone-balancing botanicals.* We’ve scoured the market for multivitamins that are truly beneficial to women over 50 (so you don’t have to).

Or so I believed—until I found my life in danger, as the man I loved started exhibiting increasingly abusive behavior. It was then that I had to face up to the truth: that some people are incapable of changing. That is why we call it a personality disorder—because it pervades every level of what they are as a person....

We produce histamine naturally in our bodies and we also consume it though foods like wine, cheese, and fermented vegetables. Foods like citrus, pineapple, and tomatoes don’t make contain high levels of this chemical, but they do stimulate histamine release from immune cells. The body metabolizes histamine and gets rid of it through two enzymes, called HNMT and DAO. This all seems pretty unfair, but it can be explained by simple biology....

While mothers are often seen as eternal stewards of consummate guidance and unwavering support, a mother’s identity is always much more complex than that. As women, mothers live in a deeply misogynistic world, and if those toxic messages haven’t been worked out of their belief system, they may inadvertently pass down these burdens to their children. This matrilineal pain is sometimes called the mother wound. “The cultural atmosphere of female oppression by the Western patriarchy conditions women to think of themselves as ’less-than, not deserving, and not-worthy,’” psychologist Nadine Macaluso, LMFT, Ph....
