Venus is the planet of love, beauty, and luxury, lending its decadent energy to every zodiac sign for three to five weeks each year. Who will we fall for…and how? Venus sets the global vibe, determining whether we’ll pull tarot cards for each other in bed (Pisces) or conduct a relationship entirely by TikTok (Gemini). To wit, lions Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck revived their PDA-fueled “Bennifer 2.0” portmanteau when Venus visited exhibitionistic, unbridled Leo in 2021!...

For most of us, the truth is that our inner landscapes don’t get the attention they deserve because our lives have infinite appealing distractions....

Avocado oil has a high smoke point compared to other oils, says Nisha Chellam, MD, a functional medicine doctor with Parsley Health. The smoke point is 480 degrees Fahrenheit for unrefined avocado oil and 520 degrees for refined avocado oil. That’s significantly higher than extra-virgin olive oil (350 degrees) and vegetable oil (400 degrees). In one 12-week study3, 163 people who had up to 175 grams of avocado (about one large ‘cado) once a day found that those who ate the fruit had a more diverse range of gut bacteria compared to the control group....
