Adele Is 'Healthier Than She's Ever Been.' Here's How She Got There.
Of all Adele's many stellar qualities, her willingness to speak candidly and frankly about her life -- and her health -- is one of the top. In a new interview with Vogue (she's the mag's March cover star), the songstress once again opened up. You may have already heard that she gave up her smoking habit when she was forced to undergo surgery on her vocal chords in 2011. As it turns out, she has since made some other pretty big changes toward a healthier lifestyle, too: ...Adele is healthier than she has ever been. As well as the litany of foods and drink she has to avoid to protect her throat, sh...

The Best Protein You Can Eat, According To Nutritionists
Protein is the key to keeping cravings at bay, building lean muscle and dropping those last few pounds. But according to a new review published in Applied Physiology, Nutrition and Metabolism, it’s not just how much protein you eat that’s important: It's where you get your protein that also matters.
The reason is threefold. First of all, every source of protein -- from chicken to peanuts -- contains a different array of amino acids, the building blocks of protein. Of the 20 various amino acids, nine are “essential,” meaning you can only get them from food. So it’s especiall...

Two Great Things Exercise Is Guaranteed to Do For You
Everyone knows that exercise is good for your heart. That's not one of the two things I was talking about, but it's good to remember. Stroke and heart disease are two of the leading causes of death in the U.S. and no one wants to die sooner than necessary! The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention as of last month were telling us two and a half hours of exercise could lower your risk for these diseases. You don't need to run a marathon or climb Half-Dome at Yosemite. You just need to do some moderate intensity aerobic activity. For any of you who don't know it, weight-bearing workouts (cables, weights etc.) are defi...

7 Ways to Permanently Banish Belly Fat
Sixty-nine percent of Americans adults are overweight, and over 35 percent are obese. Obesity increases your risk for numerous conditions including heart disease, stroke, Type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, and cancer.
Sadly, about 3.4 million adults die each year from being overweight or obese. Globally obesity now kills about the same as tobacco and all wars, terrorism and violence. Nearly all people who are overweight already have "pre-diabetes" and have significant risks of disease and death. They just don't know it.
When you begin to put on weight, especially lethal belly fat, your biology shifts out of balance, v...

5 Scary Symptoms That Are Usually Harmless
SPECIAL FROM Next Avenue
By Linda Melone
After 50, aches, pains and the occasional muscle twinge become a fact of life. But some symptoms that may seem frightening or serious turn out to be far less than they appear.
While you should always see a doctor if you experience something out of the ordinary, these signs generally are more smoke than fire:
A Bloody Nose
Nosebleeds can be particularly frightening due to the suddenness in which they occur and the sometimes large amount of blood involved.
“People worry that it’s internal bleeding, but almost every time it’s not,” says Dr. Carlo Reyes, emergency room...

5 Healthy Eating Habits To Adopt This Year
By Cynthia Sass, MPH, RD
Nutrition is a hot topic these days, yet many of my clients still struggle with consistently following through with "the basics," and the stats show that missing the mark on many healthy habits is the norm. For example, the median daily intake of produce for U.S. adults is 1.1 servings of fruit and 1.6 servings of veggies, far below the minimum recommended five daily servings.
If you're going to set just one goal for 2015, I think eating more produce should be it, but I've also listed four others below. I know you've heard them before, but they are without a doubt the most tried-and-true, impactf...

Prayers, Facebook and Weight Loss
"When people talk to God, it is called prayer. When God talks to people, they call it schizophrenia." -- Dr. Jim Roach in his upcoming book, God's House Calls
"Just like a prayer. Your voice can take me there" -- Madonna
Until recently, my attitude toward prayer had been guided by President Harry S. Truman who said that "people who pray the loudest are the ones you lock your hen house from." I've always been intensely suspicious of anyone who seems too overt in their embrace of prayer, especially if the conversation deviates to matters concerning my checkbook or wallet.
Praying out loud was something I never did. Unti...

The 6 Golden Rules Of A Healthy Grocery Cart
By Kristin Kirkpatrick for U.S. News
i like to think of myself as a fairly non-judgmental kind of girl. The problem is, when I'm waiting in the grocery store checkout line, that persona goes out the store's sliding doors. As I wait for my turn, I find myself examining the contents of others' carts, and sometimes -- dare I say -- I judge.
If I see a basket of cookies and cola, for example, I have to resist the urge to turn around and ask, "Why?" The same is true when I see a family wheeling a full cart -- without a single vegetable or fruit. Most frustrating, though, is when I see what appears to be a well-intentioned att...
