The painful inspiration for this piece came about a month ago. After indulging in a mere two and a half glasses of wine on a Friday evening—along with plenty of food and water, I might add—I was met with a dreaded hangover come Saturday morning. My eye sockets and cheekbones ached, my head was pounding, and, soon enough, I was experiencing the dreaded, wave-like “I’m definitely going to throw up” sensation....
Over the past five years of searching, here’s the most compelling evidence I’ve found that has changed my mind about the great beyond: For example, there was one case of a child who had specific memories of his troop during WW2. He met fellow members of this troop who were now old men, and some of his memories of them proved spot-on. There was another who identified and met his previous life’s children—who are now older adults....
I pushed away the airbag and jumped out of the car. I was scared, upset, and physically shaking. And yet, the very first thing I did was pull out my phone and call the karate teacher to let him know I was going to be late picking up my kids. It wasn’t until later that night, after I had called the insurance company and dealt with the totaled car, that I realized I was experiencing something much more than just the normal stress of being a working mom....
Turns out, some experts believe that the foods you include in your first post-fast meal (especially if you’ve fasted for a full day or more) are particularly important, helping to either amplify or sabotage your results. While breaking these types of fasts doesn’t require quite as much planning as breaking an extended fast, there are still some general recommendations. First and foremost, stick to whole foods and opt for a mix of macronutrients when you break a fast—you don’t want a straight shot of carbohydrates (especially refined carbs) on an empty stomach....
So what makes baby oil so special (and controversial), and what should you look for in a high-quality product? Find our breakdown, below. But here’s the thing about baby oil: Traditional options typically contain mineral oil—a relatively inexpensive, shelf-stable substance compared to other vegetable and fruit oils. The ingredient is highly occlusive, which gives baby oil its moisturizing power—for babies with diaper rash or irritation, the oil can create an occlusive environment so the skin doesn’t continue flaking....
The short, unsexy answer: It depends. Here’s what you need to know. Protein recommendations are based on roughly how much we need to eat to cover our needs for these various amino acids. Most healthy adults need about 0.8 to 1.0 gram of protein per kilogram of body weight. Since 1 kilogram is equivalent to 2.2 pounds, a 150-pound person (68.2 kilograms) needs about 55 to 68 grams of protein per day....
Many of us have been there, and if you haven’t, a friend certainly has. The feelings associated are usually quite a whirlwind: satisfaction (this felt good), familiarity (this felt right), confusion (what does this mean?), embarrassment (how could I let this happen?), guilt (wow, this was a bad idea), and depending on the exact circumstances, either a little bit of extra misery (why can’t we be together?) or a cautious bit of optimism (maybe we can)....
