Here, we’ll dive into the personality traits of Capricorn and explore how this sign approaches life, love, career, and more. Saturn, and therefore the sign of Capricorn, is all about authenticity, realness, and honesty. Saturn also rules the wisdom of old age. Therefore, Capricorn tends to be a sign that’s very aware of what’s timeless and what’s just passing through. Caps aren’t likely to fall for the latest fad or jump on a bandwagon just because everyone else is doing it....

Earlier this year, some of the nation’s leading cardiologists updated the list using the latest research and made the first addition to Life’s Simple 7 (now Life’s Essential 8) in over a decade: Get healthy sleep2. Here’s why sleep is just as important for preventing cardiovascular disease as eating right and staying active—if not more so—and how to make sure you’re getting enough of it for heart health. “If you don’t heal your mitochondria at night, it almost doesn’t matter how well you eat or how much you exercise; your body has broken mitochondrial engines, and you’re not going to make energy as efficiently,” Twyman said....

The supporting actor to essential oil’s star presence, carrier oils are subtle and understated but important to the success of the whole production. Here’s a guide to the types of carriers out there and how to find and apply your perfect match. Essential oils, on the other hand, are made from the isolated aromatic compounds of a plant, which are fragrant but volatile. They’re really concentrated—but also really prone to evaporate quickly, so they can’t be absorbed by the skin like a carrier oil can....

What sets these two sources of CBD apart is their distinctly different levels of phytocannabinoids (e.g., cannabidiol, tetrahydrocannabinol, etc.).

Hemp has negligible, trace amounts of THC (less than or equal to 0.3%1), while marijuana contains higher amounts of THC (much more than 0.3%). That’s per U.S. law. “It’s primarily an issue of the legal classification,” says Babak Larian, M....

As founder and educational director of the Love and Light School of Crystal Therapy Ashley Leavy previously explained to mbg, birthstones have roots in both Western astrology and Ayurveda, and the National Association of Jewelers standardized the official birthstones in 1912—because there were so many birthstone options across various traditions. Birthstones even appear in the book of Exodus (28:17-20), where it’s written that 12 gemstones were fixed on the prophet Aaron’s breastplate....

We spoke with nutrition experts to help answer all your protein and weight gain questions. “Eating protein earlier in the day, such as at breakfast, increases satiety,” says Don Layman, Ph.D., a professor in the Department of Food Science & Human Nutrition at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. “The main effects on appetite appear to be reduced snacking between meals and at night.” Gabrielle Lyon, D.O., a functional medicine physician and the founder of the Institute for Muscle-Centric Medicine, tells mindbodygreen, “Protein can stabilize your blood sugar by preventing insulin spikes....
