3 Overlooked Natural Treatments for Prostate Cancer
If you have prostate problems, your options for treatment are pretty limited — at least according to mainstream medicine.
The chances are if you have an enlarged prostate, your doctor will give you advice like… “go to the bathroom when you feel the urge”… or “don’t drink a lot at once.”
Or they’ll prescribe medication. But these synthetic drugs have a history of nightmarish side effects for someone already dealing with an unpredictable prostate.
Many of the drugs you’ll be prescribed also decrease sex drive and in many cases cause impotence.1
And if you have surgery, there’s a risk you’ll be saying ...

What You Should Know About The Drastic Decline Of Wild Bees
This study highlighted that this decline occurs in agriculturally intensive areas, rather than natural areas. These areas are also the most important areas for U.S. agricultural production, comprising 39 percent of the U.S. cropland. Surprisingly, the study suggests some of the crops most dependent on pollinators — including pumpkins, watermelons, pears, peaches, plums, apples and blueberries — have the strongest pollination mismatch, with a simultaneous drop in wild bee supply and increase in pollination demand. How many wild bees are there now in the U.S.? And how about domesticated bees? There are more...

Go Ahead, Take a Bite: New GMO Apples Are Perfectly Safe
There is perhaps no more iconic food than the apple. Think about it; from the Garden of Eden to the logo on the smart phone you might be holding in your hand right now, the apple claims a special place in the arc of modern civilization. It's both a forbidden fruit and the main ingredient in our all-American dessert. We cried when Snow White ate the poisoned version but eating one a day can keep the doctor away. It's the name of a body part and the nickname of America's biggest city. Heck, Gwyneth even named her daughter Apple.
So, could an apple now symbolize a major turning point in the public's acceptance of GMOs (genet...

Is This The End Of Dieting?
Fewer and fewer women are choosing to count calories or follow restrictive diets. And they're feeling better than ever because of it. By Gabrielle Glaser, SELF (Photo: Johnny Miller) When Mallory Gibson, 29, moved to New York City after college to work as a financial analyst at an investment bank, she soon found herself grinding out super stressful 14-hour days. She ate takeout at her desk most nights--and, not surprisingly, put on a few pounds. Although she'd been a healthy-enough eater at college in Austin, Texas, where she'd grab meals at the flagship Whole Foods, now she turned to juice fasts to manage her weight. H...

5 Easy Breakfast Bowls That Are Healthier Than Cereal
There’s no speedier morning routine than pouring milk over a bowl of cereal, but breakfast from a cardboard box is far from the most energizing choice. Luckily, you can shovel in a quick-and-easy breakfast while majorly upping the nutrition of your meal by opting for a breakfast bowl. The key is to start with minimally-processed whole grains and seeds, which will keep you feeling fuller longer (no more mid-morning trip to the vending machine!) and might even help you live longer.

I'm a Dietitian and I Let My Kids Have Junk Food. Here's Why.
My kids ate Lucky Charms every morning for a week. Well, not quite a week. The Lucky Charms ran out by day three or four, so they switched to Honey Nut Cheerios and Frosted Mini-Wheats. My dad brings a stash of these cereals to our annual family beach vacation, much to the delight of his grandkids. In fact, my 7-year-old refers to a beach house we rented one year as "the one with Captain Crunch." This doesn't bother me. Don't get me wrong. I strive for a diet rich in whole foods and don't buy Lucky Charms (here are the cereals I stock instead: My 5 Favorite Boxed Cereals). But I try not to be uptight when it comes to thi...
