There’s a lot of helpful intel crammed onto the inches that make up a food label’s nutrition panel . The amount of fiber? Check. Sugar, including what’s in there naturally versus what was added in? Check. The vitamins and nutrients, including how close a serving gets you to meeting the day’s requirements? Yup, that’s there, too. As great (and necessary!) all this information is, putting it all together to determine if something is healthy or not still takes a bit of detective work and analyzing. Imagine if there was also a score included on the nutritional panel, which clearly rated the food’s overall health impact. For Suzanne Judd, PhD , a nutritional epidemiologist, it isn’t just an imaginary, cool idea. Dr. Judd (who is a professor in the department of biostatistics at the University of Alabama at Birmingham School of Public Health) and her team created an inflammation index of foods , which seeks to determine just how much inflammation many foods cause, as well as how much infla...

Name me something more annoying than waking up in the middle of the night and then having trouble heading back into sleep. I’ll wait. Well, as irritating as that situation as may be, it’s worth noting that one the most common reasons for waking up in the middle of the night is because it’s simply part of your normal sleep cycle . But how long are you supposed to be stuck awake when that happens, how many instances of waking up each night is too many, and if that number does err on side of excessive, what could be causing the extra wake-ups? “Everyone wakes up five to seven times per night between finishing complete sleep cycles,” says sleep expert Shelby Harris, PsyD , author of  The Women’s Guide to Overcoming Insomnia . “Each awakening is extremely brief in nature, and we fall right back asleep with amnesia for it.” Or, at least, that’s the way it’s supposed to go. That said, experiencing two or three wake-ups that you actually remember is common and is generally NBD for your...

The importance of good gut health is preached on the reg, but knowing what is “normal” isn’t so easily understood—especially since most people don’t tend to talk about their bathroom habits out in the open. Asking a colleague or even a friend if it’s “normal” to have poop that’s soft instead of formed, or if you should be worried that you feel a little gassy every day after you eat lunch, typically doesn’t happen. Often, people learn to live with symptoms they should really see a G.I. doc about. Speaking of, gastroenterologists have heard and seen it all when it comes to poop (and other factors related to the gut). No question is too big, too small, or too weird for them to give a straightforward answer. Here, gastroenterologists Niket Sonpal, MD and Will Bulsiewicz, MD author of Fiber Fueled , reveal eight signs of bad gut health that many people often overlook. Keep reading to find out what’s really normal—and what’s not. 1. Having any sort of discomfort after eating on a regu...

While budget beauty can certainly get the job done, sometimes you can’t help but lust after the La Mers and La Prairies of the world.
