Parents ask me about food more than almost anything else. After all, I’m the natural health lady, so of course my kids are always drinking kale smoothies (not really). When health dogmas and real life collide, at the end of the day what do I feed my kids? And more importantly, how do I help them make healthy eating choices?  Food can feel like high-stakes parenting, and it’s easy to worry that one wrong move will set kids up for unhealthy habits. You might be surprised to learn that I actually don’t micromanage what my kids eat.  Over years of…

New research suggests regular travel is associated with significant health benefits, including a lower risk of mortality and reduced Alzheimer’s risk.
