We’re halfway through the year and the fitness resolutions that you set at the beginning of the year now seem like a far-fetched idea.

Actor Michael B. Jordan knows that not everyone has equal access to fitness resources.

Getting an intrauterine device (aka IUD) is a big decision. For all the people who adore their IUDs (myself included), there are plenty of horror stories about perforation and expulsion, not to mention excruciating implantation experiences — and yes, I had one of those too. Just like with any medical procedure or prescription medication, you

Fiber is like a Swiss army knife in the nutrition world, offering a multitude of functions that benefit our health. Not only does it aid in digestion by adding bulk to stool and preventing constipation, but it also helps regulate blood sugar levels by slowing the absorption of sugar.

Have you ever tried the lawn mower exercise? And no, I’m not referring to pushing a metal device across your front yard to trim the grass.

And while it’s true that veggies are micronutrient powerhouses, there’s protein in vegetables too — a surprising amount, in some cases. These plant-based protein sources can be particularly

It’s nearing midnight, but I can’t sit down. I still have 20 more minutes of standing left to do. No, I’m not doing some “Survivor”–esque endurance challenge, nor am I being tortured (well, not by anyone but myself). I’m trying to live my life based on the findings of a new study that claims the

Lie down, stand up. That may not strike you as an especially advanced series of motions, but they’re the foundation of an advanced, full-body exercise that trainers love and too many of the rest of us skip out on: the Turkish get-up.
