International Women’s Day: Fe’s Story
Happy International Women’s Day! Jenelle Eli has traveled to the Philippines with the Red Cross multiple times to help with Typhoon Haiyan recovery. She sat down with us to share the story of typhoon survivor Fe Potente.
Potente’s home in the Philippines was built by local workers with funds from the American Red Cross. Elevated from the ground, the house will be less prone to flooding and storm surges. The Red Cross has also installed a new latrine for Fe, so her family doesn’t need to walk to a relative’s house in the middle of the night. In the year since Fe moved into her new home, she has planted a ...

7 Things You Didn't Know Can Help Relieve Stress
Most of us have our go-to activities and habits to cope with stress. Whether they're healthy ones like exercise, or less-than-stellar approaches like smoking, sometimes our coping habits become a bit routine and don't relax us the way they used to. Here are a few out-of-the-ordinary ways to destress: 1. Grounding. Also sometimes referred to as "earthing," it simply means the act of walking barefoot on the ground, or laying on the ground. When was the last time you laid on the ground and looked up at the sky? It's sort of funny that there's even a word for this. Proponents of grounding as an actual therapy believe it af...

21-Day Challenge
My husband, daughter, and I are embarking on a 21-Day Challenge to eat cleanly. My daughter has tried it before -- for my husband and me, this is all new, but we consented to give it a try, all in the name of family harmony. Given my recent podcast with Michael Farrington on nutrition for junior tennis players, I thought I would expand on that theme and share some recipes and menu ideas that you can adapt to suit your family's needs.

Wild Blue Yonder Foods Issues Recall for Chappaqua Crunch Granola with Blueberries and Bananas Because of Possible Health Risk
WBY Foods of Marblehead, MA, is recalling its Chappaqua Crunch Simply Granola with Blueberries and Bananas, in 13 ounce packages, because they have the potential to be contaminated with Salmonella, an organism which can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children, frail or elderly people, and others with weakened immune systems.

Here's The Answer To That Fruit Math Puzzle That's Driving Everyone Coconuts
It's one of those Facebook posts that's all over the place, and -- like "the dress" or the hidden panda -- everyone seems to have a different take on it. What is half a coconut plus one apple plus three bananas? On the surface, it would seem the apple has a value of 10, the bananas a value of four and the coconut a value of two. And if that were the end of the story, the answer would be 2 + 10 + 4 = 16. But in the final frame, the fruit are slightly different. There is half a coconut, instead of two halves in the earlier example equation that establishes a value of t...

A Call to Start School Later
My school system wants to change their 7:17 a.m. high school start time to 8:30 a.m. You'd think the sky was falling. I've been watching my district try to make this change since we moved here 16 years ago. Back then my oldest child was 12. As a medical writer, I was concerned her future high school would start at just after 7 a.m., a time doctors were already saying was incompatible with healthy teen sleep. I was relieved when I read that school leaders knew this research and were planning to pilot a 9 a.m. start time. But that pilot never got off the ground. My daughter and my younger kids all started high school at 7:1...

The ‘Extinction’ Of Bananas Shows Us Why Our Food System Needs Help
Bananas, as we know them, could soon be no more. According to a new report out last month, the popular Cavendish banana is now at risk of extinction thanks to the spread of a new strain of Panama disease, the same lethal fungus that already wiped out the previously dominant banana variety, the Gros Michel, in the 1960s. It is almost impossible to eradicate. The news has implications beyond the banana market. As environmental journalist Simran Sethi argues in a new book, Bread, Wine, Chocolate: The Slow Loss of Foods We Love, what’s happening with bananas is just one of many examples of an international food syst...

"By night, the superhero that contributes to saving millions of human lives as one of the key model systems of modern biomedical research."
