I’m embarrassed to admit that my daily routine is completely soiled with the internet. I check my email and scroll through Instagram before getting out of bed. I scroll through Instagram while walking from my car to my desk. I spend the workday glued to my computer,...
Putting nuts in your mouth — okay, settle down — is easily one of the simplest ways to become healthier. In fact, I wrote about the many benefits of swallowing all sorts of nut (sorry) once before: “A 2018 study of more than 81,000 people found that...
Everyone has at least one forgotten embarrassing moment that creeps into their head as they attempt to fall asleep. I myself have a bunch, which might explain why many of my nights are spent previewing Ian’s Top 10 Most Cringeworthy Moments on the backs of my eyelids....
It’s a new year again, and just like the past five new years, you’ve vowed to get in shape. This is it. This is the time you’re really going to do it. Right? Whether or not you stick to it this time, the whole thing is all...
