Black Licorice Spooky And Dangerous Side

Black licorice may look and taste like an innocent treat, but this candy has a dark side. On Sept. 23, 2020, it was reported that black licorice was the culprit in the death of a 54-year-old man in Massachusetts. How could this be? Overdosing on licorice sounds more like a twisted tale than a plausible fact. I have a longstanding interest in how chemicals in our food and the environment affect our body and mind. When something seemingly harmless like licorice is implicated in a death, we are reminded of the famous proclamation by Swiss physician Paracelsus, the Father of Toxicology: “All things are poison, and nothing is without poison; the dosage alone makes it so a thing is not a poison.” I am a professor in the department of pharmacology and toxicology and author of the book “Pleased...

Building Lasting Wellness Habits That Fit Your Life And Goals

Busy parents juggling work and wellness, shift workers on uneven schedules, and caregivers managing everyone else’s needs often set thoughtful wellness and self-care goals, then watch them fade. The real consistency challenges usually aren’t motivation; they’re packed calendars, stress that derails mental health maintenance, and all-or-nothing thinking that turns one missed day into quitting. Even general readers interested in wellness can struggle to protect physical well-being routines when life stays loud and unpredictable. A steadier approach makes long-term habit formation feel doable, even when circumstances aren’t ideal. Build a Sustainable Wellness Plan That Fits Your Life This process helps you pick wellness goals you can actually keep, turn them into realistic weekly target...

Lifestyle Options

It seems like now more than ever there are hundreds of different lifestyle choices a person can make. It is a good thing there are so many options because a person's lifestyle choice has a direct bearing on the things they do, the people they hang out with, the clothes they wear, and the things they consume. Lifestyle choices also happen to be incredibly diverse in that they can range from choosing to be healthy to choosing to pledge allegiance to a certain type of music, to even deciding on a lifestyle devoted to religion. With so many lifestyle choices, it is no surprise that people devote themselves to actual lifestyles on various degrees. For instance, a teenager might become infatuated with punk rock and decide to devote themselves to that style. At this stage they can choose ...

A Girls Night Out

Women around the country are constantly searching for something new and different to do for a great girls night out that doesn't involve a bar or a highly overrated movie. When you consider the fact that most women have different tastes in books and poetry, book readings or signings are often very hit or miss, physical activity takes some of the fun out of things, and dancing inevitably leaves an odd man (or in this case girl) out. Dinner is great but often over far too soon. How about an evening of painting, laughing, joking, and dishing with the girls at your local paint your own pottery shop? Seriously this option offers a little something new and different for you and the rest of the girls without putting too serious of a strain on your pocket book. Unless of course you get greedy ...

Cookies, Chips, Frozen Meals And Fast Food And Other Ultra-Processed Foods May Contribute To Cognitive Decline

Ultra-processed foods – like cookies, chips, frozen meals and fast food – may contribute to cognitive decline. Scientists have known for years that unhealthy diets – particularly those that are high in fat and sugar – may cause detrimental changes to the brain and lead to cognitive impairment. Many factors that contribute to cognitive decline are out of a person’s control, such as genetics and socioeconomic factors. But ongoing research increasingly indicates that a poor diet is a risk factor for memory impairments during normal aging and increases the risk of developing Alzheimer’s disease. But when evaluating how some diets may erode brain health as we age, research on the effects of consuming minimally processed versus ultra-processed foods has been scant – that is, until now. Two r...

Botanizing Is A Great Way To Engage With Life Around You, So Take A Break From Your Screen And Look At Plants

Take a break from your screen and look at plants − botanizing is a great way to engage with life around you. When you hear about the abundance of life on Earth, what do you picture? For many people, it’s animals – but awareness of plant diversity is growing rapidly. Our planet has nearly 300,000 species of flowering plants. Among animals, only beetles can compete with that number. There are more species of ferns than birds, more mints than mammals, and more beans than butterflies. Measured in total mass, plants make up 82% of all life on land across the globe. We are plant scientists and co-founders of Let’s Botanize, an educational nonprofit that uses plant life to teach about ecology, evolution and biodiversity. In the past several years we have witnessed a botanical boom, with partic...

How To Pursue Self-Improvement Without Stressing Out

How to Pursue Self-Improvement Without Stressing Out Self-improvement is the deliberate effort to grow your skills, habits, and self-awareness over time. For people who want to improve their lives, the challenge isn’t motivation—it’s sustainability. Many people start strong, pile on goals, and then quietly burn out. The aim here is simpler: grow steadily, stay curious, and keep your energy intact.

You don’t need a total life overhaul to move forward—just a few well-placed adjustments done consistently. The Burnout Trap (and Why It’s So Common) Burno...

Is It Something That Runs In The Family

Family matters: Why genetic cancer testing is important (BPT) - When someone in your family is diagnosed with cancer, it can raise questions. Is it a coincidence, or is there something that runs in the family that makes others more likely to get it too? For Jodi, whose mother was diagnosed with cancer at the age of 51, and whose maternal grandfather was diagnosed with the same disease at 55, those questions were top of mind from a young age. Her family history instilled a fear of the unknown — was she at elevated risk too? For women like Jodi who have a family history of cancer, the possibility of what genetic testing might reveal can be scary, yet having answers can be empowering. "You know, I had always been very afraid of cancer because of my family history," Jodi shared. "And not ju...
