Like most people, I’ve done a lot of different things during the early days quarantine to pass the time. I baked banana bread. I bought a puzzle. I did online trivia. I signed up for at-home fitness classes. At one point I even decided to run 100 miles in a month — just because. Although

Like clockwork, my postdinner cravings kick in around 9:45 p.m. I slip into the kitchen for some ice cream or leftovers and munch away on the couch to Will and Grace reruns. Life is blissful until I slide back into bed to battle a burning sensation in my chest and throat. That fiery agitation is

After being diagnosed with COVID-19 on Oct. 2, President Donald Trump received several treatments while under the care of medical staff at the White House, including an experimental antibody cocktail, as well as a regimen of over-the-counter medications and supplements, including zinc, vitamin D, aspirin, and melatonin.

The pandemic is dragging on, and if it feels like your mental health is falling with it, you’re not alone: stress, depression, and anxiety are all on the rise right now. One of the hardest things to come to terms with, from a mental health perspective, is the amount of uncertainty we’re dealing with right

If you’re considering plant milk over dairy for the sake of your unsettled stomach, make sure to talk to your doctor first. Just because plant milks are trendy doesn’t mean they’re best for your health. “While plant milks are marketed as a healthier and more natural alternative to dairy milk, some are loaded with ingredients

We all have moments when something we’re eating or drinking goes down the “wrong pipe,” throwing us into a coughing fit. “Swallowing food, even liquids or our own saliva, is a very, very complex process, and at every step of that process — and there are a lot of them — errors can happen, resulting

Fun fact: I used to know all of the lyrics to Nicki Minaj‘s “Super Bass” in high school — it brought me a lot of pride back then. So you can imagine my excitement upon discovering a Nicki Minaj dance workout from YouTuber Bria Fitness. It’s just what you need to get some cardio in

As a teenager and college student, I struggled with body image and disordered eating. I used disordered eating to handle my emotions and feel more in control of my life. One way this played out was through movement: I would use exercise to punish myself and my body for what I’d eaten, especially if I

Tanks have their place. But when it’s that in-between-weather, sometimes you can’t quite make yourself reach for that zip-up or pull-over, either. For all those days, I turn to my favorite piece of workout attire and the OG workout warrior: the T-shirt. My collection of tees might not be the basic cotton blends of high

There’s been a lot of uncertainty around COVID-19 testing in the US. Recently, the Centers For Disease Control (CDC) seemed to soften its testing guidelines — explaining that people who had been exposed but hadn’t developed symptoms no longer needed to be tested — only to reverse course when it was reported that the changes

I’m all for arming yourself with the proper hiking gear — and some that’s unexpected, too — but sometimes, you can’t afford to outfit yourself with an entire wardrobe just for a new sport. And when it comes to what to wear while hiking, I’ve found that my favorite workout leggings can be just as

All I can say is, it’s a good thing no one else was home when I attempted this Cirque du Soleil arms workout. I knew it would be tough (my core quakes just thinking about the Cirque du Soleil Extreme Abs Workout I tried a few months ago), but I can honestly say I didn’t

When’s the last time you got a good night’s sleep? If you can’t remember, you’re not alone.

There’s still so much to understand when it comes to masks and COVID-19. At the very basic level, we know the CDC’s recommends for fabric face masks to be worn when out in public or around other people.

Just when I thought 2020 couldn’t get any crazier, my body betrayed me (or gave me a wakeup call, depending on how you look at it!). As it turns out, sitting at home all day for work — particularly if you’re sitting on a piece furniture without enough back support — can lead to sciatic

Yoga is something that has always helped me manage stress and anxiety while providing an opportunity to move my body.

When we think about workout clothes, there are a few important things that come to mind.

I am not usually a bath person; I lived in an apartment with a tub for three years and never used it once. However, in the midst of some recent anxiety and lack of sleep, I tried an Epsom salt bath and never looked back. Now, it’s a regular part of my self-care, and here’s
