The way we learn to walk is through imitation and motor development. We learn from our parents, grandparents and siblings, who quite possibly had injuries and accidents that have impacted their movement patterns, so we are learning from an imperfect source. Here are three easy ways to improve your walk, starting today. Hyperextension is when a joint has been taken past its normal range of motion.

In addition to nutrient-dense diets, little habits can help you detox every single day. Below, Chen offers her nonnegotiable tips: It’s a mistake Chen sees all the time: People become enamored with “liver detoxes” and the like, but only a few actually target gut health.

Her story echoes that of so many women suffering daily with endometriosis. But I believe it doesn’t have to be this way. It’s a condition where tissue that normally lines the uterus—called the endometrium—grows in other parts of the body where it’s not supposed to be, most commonly the abdominal cavity, where it can land on the intestinal lining, ovaries and fallopian tubes. This tissue is triggered by the same hormonal changes that trigger your period to come each month, causing this tissue to bleed as well....

As psychologist and dream expert Rubin Naiman, Ph.D., previously told mbg, “Dream interpretation is about decoding the dream. It enlightens us and expands our awareness psychologically, [offering an] expansion of consciousness.” And that decoding, he explains, is all about feeling into the emotions the dream brought up for you. Stressful dreams, for example, are often a manifestation of stress we’re experiencing in our real, waking lives. So, when you can figure out the emotion the dream evoked in you and think about what was happening in the dream as well as what’s going on in your life, you can get a clearer picture of its potential message....
