Here, we break down all the science-backed health benefits of tahini and why you’ll want to drizzle this seed butter on literally everything.

That being said, you shouldn’t rule your mattress out altogether. “You can definitely sleep in less than optimal positions, which can leave you with a stiff back or sore neck,” explains Yuen. “If your mattress or pillow is not filling in empty space while you’re sleeping or is pushing you too far out of a neutral alignment, I would absolutely recommend exploring changes in mattresses or pillows....

But sometimes when you’re experiencing bloating, it can be difficult to believe that you haven’t simultaneously gained weight. So, we investigated exactly how to discern between bloating and weight gain in order to provide some clarity and help you best set a course of action for your health.
