And respiration through the nose is essential, for so many ways, for so many reasons. For starters, our bodies operate most efficiently in a state of balance, pivoting between action and relaxation, daydreaming and reasoned thought. This balance is influenced by the nasal cycle and may even be controlled by it. In 2015, researchers at the University of California, San Diego, recorded the breathing patterns of a schizophrenic woman1 over the course of three consecutive years and found that she had a “significantly greater” left-nostril dominance....

Regenerative agriculture, which protects these massive but delicate colonies by minimizing soil erosion, has emerged as a way to promote human and environmental health. Prioritizing microscopic life makes for farms that can produce nutritious food in the face of warming temperatures and extreme weather events. Microbe-rich soil is also more capable of sucking carbon out of the atmosphere and storing it underground. According to a new blue-sky estimate by organic agriculture research nonprofit The Rodale Institute, if all the world’s farm and ranch land was managed regeneratively, our soil could recapture all the annual CO2 emissions produced by humans and then some....

Extreme anxiety about merging money falls into one of two scenarios: You have emotional baggage, or there are trust issues present. For the latter, “Do you not trust them, or rather, not trust their spending? Have they shown behaviors in the past that show they might not be great with money? It might be hard to come to terms with these questions, but if you don’t trust them, you need to address that,” she says—noting that just because you don’t agree with how your partner spends money, it doesn’t necessarily speak to something more sinister....

Ever versatile, turmeric can be consumed as a root, a spice, or a concentrated supplement (i.e., a root extract), and it pairs as well with breakfast as it does dinner. This raises the question—is there a best time of day to enjoy it to reap the most benefits? We asked around to see what health and nutrition experts had to say. As nutritional psychiatrist and bestselling author Uma Naidoo, M.D., tells mindbodygreen, curcumin, one of the main phytonutrient active ingredients in turmeric, is first and foremost a powerful antioxidant4....

Tell me if this sounds familiar: Should I buy organic? What’s the difference between cage-free and pasture-raised? Does it mean anything if the eggs are brown instead of white? What’s up with omega-3 eggs? Enough was enough. I dug into the “what” and the “wtf” so you don’t have to. I hope this saves you the time and stress it’s saved me! I’m often asked how many egg yolks are OK to have per week....

The obsession with getting rid of peach fuzz is one highly contradictory topic for this reason (and more that you’ll read about below). So we’re here to answer all of your questions. To follow, you can read all about the benefits, the risks, and some food for thought on dermaplaning. Let’s dive in, shall we?

But in committed love relationships, “cheating” isn’t always about a sexual encounter, secret flirtation, or online erotic event. Fundamentally, it’s about breaching trust. It’s one person making a unilateral decision to cultivate nonsexual intimacy with someone other than their primary romantic partner in a way that weakens or undermines the relationship. Many see this type of connection as having an erotic component to it. Though there often can be an underlying romantic or erotic energy in emotional cheating, it can also occur without the element of romance or eroticism present....
