Your Guide to Better Health

It’s a scene many of us know well: you’re winding down for the night, maybe watching TV or scrolling on your phone, and suddenly your stomach growls. You head to the kitchen and grab a snack. But then the guilt sets in—“Is this going to make me gain weight? Will it ruin my sleep? Am I doing something bad for my health?”

When people think about aging well, they often picture eating right, exercising, or maybe even keeping their mind sharp. But there’s one piece of the puzzle that doesn’t get enough attention: your bones. Most of us don’t think about bone health until something goes wrong, like a broken wrist after a minor fall or the diagnosis of osteoporosis later in life.

Menopause is something that every woman eventually goes through, usually between the ages of 45 and 55. It marks the end of menstrual cycles and fertility, but it also comes with a wave of changes that can affect daily life.

Menopause is a natural phase in every woman’s life, but that doesn’t mean it’s always easy. For many, the transition comes with uncomfortable symptoms like hot flashes, weight gain, night sweats, mood swings, and sleep problems.

Walk down the street, hop on a train, or scroll through social media, and you’ll see them everywhere: glowing wristbands, sleek smartwatches, and rings promising to unlock the secrets of health and fitness.

Maybe you wanted to eat more vegetables, hit the gym three times a week, go to bed earlier, or finally quit late-night snacking. At first, you were excited. Motivation was high, and you felt unstoppable. But then, after a week or two, life got in the way. Work got busier, you felt too tired, or you simply “forgot.” Before you knew it, you were right back where you started.

If you’ve ever struggled with lower back pain, you’re not alone. In fact, research suggests that about 80% of people will experience back pain at some point in their lives. For many, it comes from sitting too much, poor posture, or tight muscles that pull on the spine. Others may feel it after lifting something heavy or spending long hours at a desk.

Fish oil is one of the most popular supplements in the world. Walk into any pharmacy or health store and you’ll likely find entire shelves stocked with bottles labeled “Omega-3” or “Fish Oil.” People take it for heart health, brain function, joint support, and even skin benefits. But one question comes up again and again: is fish oil a blood thinner?

If you’ve ever woken up in the morning, skipped breakfast, and gone straight for a jog, you’ve technically done what’s known as fasted cardio. The idea is simple: when you exercise without eating, your body might burn more fat because it doesn’t have quick access to fuel from food.

When most people think about toned abs, the first thing that comes to mind is the look: a lean, flat stomach or even the famous “six-pack.” While that’s definitely a goal for many women, the truth is that ab workouts are about so much more than aesthetics.

If you’ve been told you have prediabetes, you’re not alone. More than 1 in 3 adults in the U.S. fall into this category—and most of them don’t even know it. But here’s the good news: prediabetes doesn’t have to turn into type 2 diabetes. In fact, with the right lifestyle changes—starting with the food you eat—you can actually reverse it.

If you want stronger, more defined arms but don’t have access to a gym or equipment, here’s some good news: you don’t need dumbbells, barbells, or fancy machines to get the job done.

Let’s say you wake up with a sore throat or a stuffy nose. You don’t feel terrible, but you’re not at 100% either. You check your schedule and see that today’s a workout day. So now you’re stuck wondering: Should I go to the gym? Or is my body telling me to rest?
