Maintaining a healthy weight may involve more than just what we eat. Turns out how we eat matters, too. Earlier this week, researchers at the University of Rhode Island found people who eat slowly consume fewer calories than speedier eaters. There’s science behind it: Our bodies need time to feel full, so the more slowly we eat, the more time there is for...
Avid outdoor bicyclists may view the upcoming season change with sadness or even irritation; seemingly forced from their beloved outdoors by colder weather and driven to find other activities to maintain their health during the winter. Depending on where a person lives, winter weather can vary from snow and ice, to drizzling rain and colder temperatures. Regardless of this, there are safety precautions...
THE SECRET TO BETTER SLEEP The average American sleeps 6.9 hours a night. When we get less sleep than we need, our reaction times get slower, our blood pressure rises, we eat more, and we’re more at risk of obesity and diabetes. SLEEP-RELATED DISORDERS Sometimes lack of sleep is caused by disorders that can also cause problems during the day. Examples include: Night...
Most of the time, we see the microwave as a convenient tool for boiling water or re-heating a plate of leftovers. But when we literally only have a few minutes before running off to a meeting or back to class, the microwave can become a real lifesaver for pulling together a super-quick meal.

(And just what are fatty acids? Long story short: They are the building blocks of fats.) Because our bodies can’t produce either omega-3s or omega-6s, we must...
Eat Protein for Power Have protein at every meal—including breakfast—and as part of every snack. Because protein is digested slowly, it will give you the benefit of a steady, sustained rise in blood sugar, rather than the rapid rise and fall that comes from sugary foods. "Protein at every meal also helps with satiety, so you're less likely to overeat," Zelman explains. Eggs...
The best bag is an empty bag — perhaps something that looks sharp slouched off the shoulder or slung low by the hip. But more often than not, our bags are loaded with all sorts of junk that make them heavy pains in the neck (and back). With the back to school season upon us, kids aren’t the only ones having to haul huge...
Pumpkins are the sign that Halloween and Thanksgiving are near! There are so many fun things to do with them, from carving, to painting to EATING! The bright orange color of pumpkin is a dead giveaway that pumpkin is loaded with an important antioxidant, beta-carotene. Beta-carotene is a phytochemical that is converted to vitamin A in the body. In the conversion to vitamin A, beta carotene...
