It happens in a second

Yet more international food discourse

It's all about gains

Ah, the gym . A wonderful and, depending on who you are, terrifying place. Gyms are inherently frightening. I remember my first experience. Surrounded by fit and healthy adults who clearly knew what they were doing. I, of course, was visibly lost and in terrible shape. It wasn’t until I realized that absolutely no one cares what anyone else is doing at the gym that I began to feel comfortable. The gym habitat contains a wide range of creatures. People looking for a healthy dose of movement, car…

When was the last time you looked in a mirror? Are your eyes sunken? Is your skin blotchy? Have you had a vague headache all day? If you answered “yes” to any or all of these questions, it might be time for you to drink some more water . We need to appreciate water a little bit more.

Those stacked Tupperwares of pallid chicken and bland-looking brown ri…

We all know that hindsight is 20/20. That definitely applied to the year 2020 , and as we've learned over the past few years, the present, too.

Well, let's just say that things didn't go as she planned. Cringe. That tweet kind of made history where being overly confident is concerned. Today, we've got an assortment…

Vegetable supremacy

Am I the Red Flag? Nah...

Why do so many people get sick during the holiday season ? Nobody likes being sick during the holidays, especially in a hospital. Nobody likes working overtime during the holidays either, unable to see their families when they should be together most. Unfortunately, there ain't no rest for the weary, so nurses and healthcare professionals everywhere spend so much of their December working till all hours of the night. It's so cruel that there's an increase in hospitalizations and illnesses durin…

A confusing time

Green juice is gross, don't lie
