In order to have the most fulfilling love life possible, you need to identify which romantic archetype you align with and which love language you speak. You might relate to elements of all five of the archetypes, but we each have one that is more prominent than the others. Knowing your romantic archetype gives you valuable information about how you’re wired to give and receive love. Think of it this way: Your partner might think bringing you flowers is a great way to show you love when what you really respond to is his taking the initiative to do the dishes once in a while....

People who have chronic lower back pain experience higher rates of sleep disturbances than people who don’t. And if your mattress is too soft, it likely isn’t helping the problem. Designed to lie on top of your existing mattress, a mattress topper provides greater comfort, pressure relief, and support—all without having to fork over the funds for a whole new mattress. To learn more about how a mattress topper can help with back pain, we spoke with experts and scoured the selection....

Every diet I tried ended up the same way. There would be a whole list of foods I wasn’t allowed to eat. I’d follow the diet to the letter. I’d lose a little weight through sheer brute force and willpower. Then there would come an inevitable point when I couldn’t take it anymore and I’d have a huge binge. Whatever weight I had lost on the diet would come back in a matter of days, and a week later I’d be 5 pounds heavier than when I started the diet....

Why trail running? I think RRCA-certified running coach Raj Hathiramani, an instructor with Aaptiv and Mile High Run Club, sums up my feelings pretty perfectly: “Trail running is an effective way to escape routine and immerse yourself in nature. Running through oxygen-rich, shaded woods will make you feel raw, energized, and connected to something bigger—Mother Earth.” “Trail running creates less impact on the body while building more strength in muscles to stabilize the core and legs,” says Hathiramani....

Freezing, cloudy, stormy, or scorching weather can make running outdoors miserable. Luckily, indoor running equipment has come a long way in the last decade, ensuring even those who swear by outdoor workouts (like me!) can finally enjoy conquering a sweat session inside—and it’s all thanks to the best treadmill brands. We spoke with running experts, coaches, and physical therapists to learn more about how running and walking can improve our health and well-being and how to keep achieving these gains even when we can’t get outside....

Exhausting, right? As a clinical psychology researcher and co-founder of a mental well-being company, I regularly see the impact of our productivity-obsessed, achievement-driven culture on mental health. And, while it sounds counterintuitive, this type of overwhelming exhaustion isn’t necessarily fixed by sleeping or lounging around. From a scientific point of view, rejuvenation—not rest—is the foundation of fighting burnout. For the most part, we’re taught to cope with burnout by doing the former: stopping everything to focus on rest....
