We all compare ourselves — to friends, coworkers, influencers, or even strangers online. It’s something our brains do automatically. But in the age of social media and constant visibility, comparison has become more than a passing thought — it’s a daily habit. While comparison can sometimes inspire growth, it often does the opposite. It fuels anxiety, lowers self-esteem, and traps us in a cycle of “never enough.” The good news? You can train your mind to step out of this pattern and find peace in your own lane. Let’s explore why comparison happens, how it feeds anxiety, and practical ways…

Happy Friday! Here’s the latest Columbus restaurant news: Fox in the Snow officially announced this week that its seventh store is coming to Clintonville, to 4203 N.

It took the place of Gant’s Pizza, which departed a few weeks ago. The…

Introduction  In 2003, researchers at the University of Toronto published a landmark study in the Journal of the American Medical Association that should have changed how doctors talk to patients about high cholesterol. In their study, they fed one group a specific combination of plant foods over four weeks. They called it a portfolio. Another group took a daily statin medication, and the third group followed a heart-healthy, low-saturated-fat diet. The results were not what people expected. The researchers were not surprised because this was a culmination of several years of studies. They found that the statin group reduced their…

Deciding to seek help for addiction treatment is a powerful step toward recovery. However, once that decision is made, many people face another question: what type of treatment is the right choice? Some individuals wonder whether they should enter an inpatient program and temporarily step away from daily life. Others may consider outpatient care, which allows them to continue working and caring for family while receiving treatment. The truth is that there is no universal answer. Both inpatient and outpatient addiction treatment can be effective. The key is choosing the level of care that best fits a person’s medical needs,…

My family calls me the cabbage queen, and honestly, I’ve earned the title. Once you learn what this vegetable is truly capable of, you’ll never look at it the same way again.

I’ve written many times about how I clean my house with natural cleaners. Now to check off something that’s been on my list for a while: a complete cleaning checklist for the whole house! Sometimes it’s hard to get the motivation (or time) to take on deep cleaning. However, the one time of year most of us feel like tackling it is when spring finally arrives and the weather warms up.

                  The recent death of TV star James Van Der Beek puts the spotlight on colon cancer – and this month is Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month. “I’d always associated cancer with age and with unhealthy, sedentary lifestyles,” he told People. “But I was in amazing cardiovascular shape. I tried to eat healthy – or as far as I knew it at the time.” Colorectal cancer rates are increasing among young people. The disease doesn’t wait for old age, and it often develops without obvious symptoms. For people in midlife and later, this…
