When temperatures rise, heavy meals tend to lose their appeal. Crunchy salads, fresh fruit and smoothies are suddenly a favorite – but they’re not always enough to keep hunger at bay. The secret to a satisfying summer meal isn’t necessarily adding more protein (although that’s important, too). It builds your plate around fiber. Fiber slows digestion, helps stabilize blood sugar, supports a healthy gut microbiome, and keeps you fuller for longer. The result? More sustained energy, fewer midday snack attacks, and meals that feel light without leaving you hungry an hour later. The easiest way to pack more fiber into…

In the new study, researchers analyzed data from 54,991 adult participants in the US National Health and Nutrition Examination…

All of these are important and matter. But, in my opinion, that is not the whole story. In my work with men, I see something more subtle and more existential. It’s not that men don’t talk. Men are talking more than ever. They talk about stress, exhaustion, relationship breakdown, work pressure, loss of direction, emotional confusion, and a quiet sense that something is missing inside of them.…

In most modern high schools, PE is a full-on take-off course — something you have to take when you’re not playing a sport and have to fulfill a health/gym-related elective. Participants often sit in the stands and chat or half-heartedly play some basketball. There was a time in this country when PE was taken more seriously, however, and it reached its absolute peak at La Sierra High School in Carmichael, California.During the 1950s and 1960s, La Sierra boasted arguably the most rigorous PE program in the country, if not the world.
