I rarely bloat, but when I do, it’s always extremely uncomfortable and painful to move. I recently had surgery and I was taking a lot of pain medicines and antibiotics, and my bowel movements were pretty much nonexistent for the first few weeks on meds.

The Bosu ball is one of those fitness tools that, for me, requires a lot of brainpower. Which way faces up? Do I stand on it? Do I lift it? Is there a scenario where I should be throwing it like a Frisbee? (No, there isn’t — I’m disappointed, too.) So when I found a

Though more extreme versions exist, simply cutting back on carbs — particularly sugar — is not only effective for weight loss, it’s also sustainable.

When they’re not kissing on the red carpet or sharing picture-perfect moments together, Hailey and Justin Bieber like to bond over their shared passion for health and wellness. “My husband is very conscious of [health], too, because he is a performer, which requires him to dance, jump around, and exert lots of energy, which is
Ask anyone who knows me and they’ll tell you I’m one of the last people they’d expect to get excited about CBD or cannabis products. It’s not because I’m anti or judge anyone who uses them — you do you! It’s simply been one of those categories that feels like another “thing” I don’t necessarily

When you have a headache, you might first think to blame your sleep schedule (or lack thereof), the glass of wine you had the night before, or the constant stress plaguing your existence.
