So here’s what I recommend you do before, during and after drinking alcohol to help limit the damage: Try this: Don’t think about a pink elephant. Impossible, right? Similarly when you think, “I’m not going to get drunk,” it’s impossible to stop thinking about getting drunk. Your mind is wired for reward and novelty. So instead, focus on the positive by thinking, “I easily can only drink two drinks and lot’s of water,” or whatever works best for you....

“We know from published research that over 90% of Americans1 fail to consume the minimum amount of oily fish recommended for general health, just two servings a week,” says nutrition scientist Ashley Jordan Ferira, Ph.D., RDN, mbg’s director of scientific affairs. “To mind this massively widespread nutritional gap, a potent omega-3 product taken daily makes a whole lot of sense.”* And given the vast number of brands and different fish oil supplement options out there, vetting and selecting a product can feel like a much bigger task than initially meets the eye....

Some people naturally have thinner nails. However, there’s a plethora of reasons your nails might be on the softer side and plenty of ways to strengthen them as well. To come, everything you need to know about soft and bendy nails. However, it’s important to note that these effects can be lasting. Even if you stop getting acrylic and gel manicures, your nails may still be brittle for months to come until they can fully grow out untouched....

One of the best ways to understand what this looks like is by considering the idea of allyship. Many people have taken to labeling themselves an “ally” to Black people in recent weeks. We also commonly see the language in reference to supporting the LGBTQ+ community, with people referring to themselves as “allies” to queer people. Being an ally is a label. Acting in allyship is about actions—it’s about what you’re actually, tangibly doing to support the people in question....

Zinc’s role in immune functioning3 may explain why many lozenges and supplements contain the mineral, registered dietitian and food blogger Maggie Michalczyk, R.D., says. While those are great options to up your zinc intake, there are also plenty of zinc-rich foods to help meet your basic needs. Oysters are the highest source of zinc from food. In fact, just 3 ounces of cooked or breaded and fried oysters provides 74 milligrams or 673% of your daily value (DV)....

Specifically, low estrogen can lead to poor memory and concentration, vaginal dryness, hot flashes, night sweats, and fertility struggles. There’s no doubt about it: The symptoms of perimenopause are no walk in the park. But there is good news! There’s so much we can do to smooth the transition into menopause and reduce symptoms. And interestingly, my recommendations for women going through perimenopause are similar to what I would tell a woman in her 20s experiencing PMS, or even a man with low sperm count or low testosterone....

Nutrition is important, but there are some other great detox strategies I’d also like you to consider. Here are my favorites: However, saunas are not for everyone. Do not use saunas if you are or could be pregnant. Many people with MS and other chronic health issues can be severely intolerant to elevations in body temperature. Do not use a sauna until you can tolerate it well. I needed to recover remarkably before I was able to tolerate taking a sauna—this didn’t happen until six months into my recovery....
