I’ve been following the nutrition research for a long time, and every once in a while, a study comes along that just makes you want to stand up and say, “Yes. That’s what I’m talking about.” This is one of those studies. The Mediterranean Diet results point in the right direction, but I think you can do even better.  A team at Harvard’s Brigham and Women’s Hospital just published 25 years of follow-up data on 25,315 women in JAMA Network Open — and the results are hard to argue with. Women who followed a Mediterranean-style diet most closely had a…

Karen Bridges had a moment of clarity that a lot of people over 50 will recognize. She was having trouble doing ordinary daily things, like working in the garden. Her balance was faltering. Her desk job kept her sedentary all day, and earlier years of being active “off and on” ended with the pandemic. “I hit a wall of reality,” the 65-year-old says. “I realized that if I didn’t change anything in my life, then nothing would change.” That mindset shift made all the difference.

It makes the whole dish cook up faster and makes it more accessible. Because all of the flavor is usually in the sauces, you don’t have to pair them with meat, like in more traditional Indian dishes. In this stew, I pair Western Indian spices and…

I’ve seen great discipline, at least for a time, in many people like you trying to lose weight. It’s pretty impressive, really. They have more discipline than I do at times.  But none of those things addresses the right problem. The actual solution is…

The researchers have been tracking this shift for years, and the picture keeps getting clearer: Older adults aren’t winding down, and they feel better about life than ever. Globally, positive emotions are more frequent among people over 60 than they were 20 years ago. We get better at filtering out negativity as we age! People who stay active,…
