By the time evening comes, most of us are tired in ways sleep alone does not fix. Energy is thin. Patience is thinner. We still want to eat well, though. For our hearts. For our families. For the long run. That is where this one-pot dinner quietly earned its place in my week. I did … Read more
What if cutting your bacon in half and adding walnuts to breakfast could give you 10 more years of healthy life? That’s not wishful thinking. It’s science. You want to live longer and feel better. But diet advice is confusing. One expert says eat this. Another says avoid it. You’re worried that eating healthy means … Read more
Your mind feels sharp some days, foggy others. You walk into a room and forget why. A name sits just out of reach. These moments increase after 40, and they’re not all in your head. The brain changes as we age. It needs different fuel than it did at 25. Certain foods support the connections … Read more
Walk into any health food store and the advice blurs together. Keto promises quick results. Paleo claims to reset your gut. Plant-based diets dominate social feeds.
