Usually an item like this is fairly expensive. That has been my experience with store-bought muffins. They either dry out or can get moldy.

The American Heart Association recommendations emphasize eating more plant-based protein instead of meat and drinking less alcohol, contradicting the recent food pyramid updates that suggest increased red meat and whole milk consumption.

We are not moving away from making plant-based meat. This is a strategic expansion of our portfolio into additional protein categories. We start at the farm with clean and simple, non-GMO ingredients like yellow peas, red lentils and faba beans. We love clean protein and fiber.

"So, hedge your bets," wrote Gardner in an email to KQED. "Eat foods, not protein supplements. What have you got to lose - and what do you have to gain?"

These tiny packages pack a nutritional punch-so much so that the advisory committee for the 2025 U.S. Dietary Guidelines recommended upping the daily serving size of legumes and promoting them as a protein source over meat and seafood. Navy beans, for example, are especially fiber-dense, and lentils are protein powerhouses.

When you purchase the top-selling creatine gummies on Amazon, you expect to get what you pay for. But a recent study found that four out of six popular brands contained virtually no creatine at all. In the case of the worst offender, customers would need to consume 2,000 gummies to get the advertised 5-gram dose. Still, combined these products sell over 50,000 units monthly and boast 4.4+ star ratings.

While I love a good cocktail, on a regular basis you'll find me drinking lighter options like sparkling water or tea. After helping my husband Alex kick his soda habit years ago, we began to discover drinks that actually make you feel energized and balanced, from cucumber-infused waters to homemade herbal teas. What's great about switching to healthier beverages is you don't have to sacrifice flavor.

Diet culture norms have led to a multibillion-dollar industry promoting diets that each come with their own set of rules, with each claiming it's the only way to be healthy or lose weight. When access to nutrition information is at an all-time high online, people are often left digging through conflicting information when trying to figure out what to eat or what a healthy diet look likes.

While Grasso doesn't point out any single menu item as the "healthiest" ("healthy is very subjective," the expert adds), each tends to have health goals, needs, and preferences that differ from others. "When I'm eating out, I like to look for options that include a good mix of protein, fiber, and carbohydrates," Grasso tells us. "That combo helps keep you satisfied, supports steady blood sugar, and provides more sustainable energy."

This opening episode dives straight into detoxing. From juice cleanses and detox teas to charcoal pills, foot pads, and coffee enemas, Edwards and Baumgardt watch, wince, and occasionally laugh their way through some of the internet's most popular detox trends. Along the way, they ask what these products claim to remove, how they supposedly work, and why feeling worse is often reframed online as a sign that a detox is "working."

A newly signed federal law will expand milk options in U.S. school cafeterias, allowing students who can't or don't consume dairy to receive a non-dairy alternative as part of standard school meals for the first time. In a win for animal advocates and public health experts, the Whole Milk for Healthy Kids Act formally opens the door for dairy‑free milk options to be served alongside cow's milk in school cafeterias, without requiring families to provide medical documentation. These provisions come from a congressional bill introduced last year known as The FISCAL Act, which allows schools to include plant-based milks in their cafeteria offerings.

Dr Ian K Smith believes that we need to revolutionise our approach to ageing, adapting our health and dietary practices to suit where we are now

For years, the food pyramid was the example of healthy eating that everyone in America was given, and now, more than a decade after it was discarded in favor of simpler recommendations, it's set for a return. The federal government had long tried to give Americans healthy eating advice, dating back to the "food wheel" of seven essential food groups in World War II, but the food pyramid was probably the most iconic.

We compared how participants fared while eating their habitual diets with how they responded to the two diets that were low in ultraprocessed foods. During the periods when participants ate fewer ultraprocessed foods, they naturally consumed fewer calories and lost weight, including total and abdominal body fat. Beyond weight loss, they also showed meaningful improvements in insulin sensitivity, healthier cholesterol levels, fewer signs of inflammation, and favorable changes in hormones that help regulate appetite and metabolism.

Rachel Swanson, a registered dietitian at LifeSpan Medicine and author of "Trying!: A Science-Backed Plan to Optimize Your Fertility," splits her time between New York City and Miami, spending about half the year in each. She also takes small-group workout classes three times a week, focusing on strength training. She says eating enough nutrients, especially protein for muscle-building, is crucial for her. She generally aims for around 0.7 grams of protein per pound of body weight, the protein intake usually recommended for physically active people.
