Put down the phone, pick up the joy: Studies show that a social media detox can do wonders for your mental health
Scrolling through the endless feeds of Instagram or TikTok is an easy way to pass some time, but there’s a growing body of research that suggests it’s doing far more harm than good. A recent study, published in JAMA Network Open – a monthly open access medical journal published by the American Medical Association – not only details the clear benefits from taking a social media detox, but also suggests that the benefits can be felt in as little as a week.

Giving pause to chat about menopause
Some women might be hesitant to admit they’re menopausal in public or memorialize it in print. I don’t see why. We all age, and that’s worthy of celebrating. To those who grimace and grouse about growing older, getting more wrinkles, or gaining more pounds, I offer you this: Aging is far better than the alternative.
The things you didn’t know you needed to know about fiber
Come to find out, there’s more to fiber than I thought. During my daughter’s last doctor’s visit I asked him specifically about her protein intake because she seldomly eats meat and I wanted to make sure that her diet was, essentially, “doctor approved”. His response surprised me. He said that I shouldn’t worry so much about the protein, but instead I should focus more on her fiber intake. He then went on to explain the particulars of that as it pertained to her health, but my take-away was that fiber can be more important to our overall health than I had initially thought. And that applies to all of us.
