Sometimes love looks like flowers. At my house, it looks like Facebook Marketplace. I’ve often said I hit the husband lottery when I landed Steve, my partner of 36 years and husband of 27. This is a man who makes me a sandwich and yogurt snack for work and has taken most of the mental load of gift list making, shopping and wrapping upon himself since the kids were newborns. But I also learned long ago that believing one person can be everything you need is a fool’s errand. In Steve’s case, the void is clear: He has zero interest in drawn-out discussions about feelings. I’ll say, “I’m so worried about X, Y or Z. I can’t sleep because I’m so worked up.” And his suggestion is so genius…

Have milk in the morning Good news for women who love drinking a glass of milk for breakfast: Doing so can prevent dehydration for up to 4 hours. So say scientists reporting in The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, who found that fluid losses were lower in those who drank milk compared to those who drank other beverages such as water, orange juice, coffee or tea. Experts say the fats and protein in milk help the beverage stay in the stomach longer, giving its fluids more time to be absorbed. Boost your home’s humidity Cranking up the heat to make your home warmer can send indoor humidity plunging. That’s a problem, since Cleveland Clinic research confirms that breathing dry indoor air can trigger dehydration. For a simple way to offset…

Make this simple cooking swap Using sunflower oil in place of other oils or butter when cooking can help keep your blood sugar in check. Sunflower oil is rich in polyunsaturated fatty acids, and according to new research in the journal Nature Medicine, eating a diet high in these fats can reduce the risk of type 2 diabetes even without weight loss. Other good sources include fish, nuts and flaxseeds. Take a midday dance break We know exercise helps manage blood sugar, but when you get moving could boost the benefit, say researchers in Diabetes Care. They discovered that engaging in moderate exercise such as dancing or walking for more than 10 minutes in the afternoon spurs a greater glucose decrease than similar activity in the morning or evening. Set…

Ugh, I can’t taste a thing,” Gina Liggio moaned. When she had arrived at a family event, her nose was running so badly her relatives gave her the side-eye—as if she had a contagious cold. This had become a way of life for Gina. She was going through a box of tissues a week, always had sinus pressure and could barely smell a thing. Sometimes she even blew her nose between bites of food to increase her tasting ability, but nothing was working. Gina tried vitamins and supplements, which didn’t make a difference, and avoided over-the-counter allergy medications because of the side effects. I don’t want to be on medication the rest of my life, Gina worried. A simple cure Determined to find a solution, Gina dove into research and…

When scrolling social media or researching easy meal-planning ideas, you’ve likely stumbled on Jenn Lueke. Known on Instagram by her 1.6 million followers as @JennEatsGoood, the Boston-based chef shares meal-planning ideas and delicious, good-for-you recipes that won’t break the bank. Jenn first launched her account in 2018, but it wasn’t an overnight success. “After more than 5 years of trying, it was ultimately one of my budget grocery-list videos that unlocked everything,” she tells Woman’s World. “It was shocking to me! It also showed how much we all just want healthy, simple meal plans.” Jenn says part of the magic was that she was perfecting how to meal prep along with her followers. “Growing up, I had two working parents and two siblings—and my parents weren’t meal planners,” she says.…

SPEED UP DEFROSTING with a pair of old socks Here’s a trick to prevent your wiper blades from freezing: Keep a pair of old socks in your car and use them to cover the blades at night.

“Almost everyone has high insulin levels these days,” says women’s health researcher Ali Chappell, Ph.D., M.S., R.D. It’s not just a concern for people with diabetes. She says the modern “workaholic pancreas” tends to release insulin in our body like the out-of-control chocolate conveyor belt from a classic episode of I Love Lucy. Luckily, Chappell has devoted her life to finding an easy, natural way to lower insulin levels, reversing weight gain in the process. And her work is getting rave reviews from top doctors. Try her plan for yourself! Why should we care about insulin levels? “Insulin is your fat-storage hormone,” Chappell says. It’s also a master hormone affecting almost every other hormone in your body. “People with elevated insulin have naturally lower levels of GLP-1 appetite suppressing hormones.…

My husband and I had just celebrated our 43rd wedding anniversary, and I was devastated when he died a few weeks later. I had recently lost three other family members, and it was the first of many hard years to follow. My husband had smoked a pipe for all our married life. I was not a fan of the pipe or its smell. It was a bone of contention between us. “I had an overwhelming feeling that he was with me!” Within six months of his passing, I was driving alone and having a bad day. I missed him, and I was having a hard time with my grief. In that moment, I was wishing he hadn’t left me, feeling sorry for myself and having quite the crying session. Suddenly,…

Walk off discomfort A review published in the European Spine Journal suggests that walking may be just as effective as surgery for easing long-term sciatica pain from a herniated disc. And here’s incentive to keep it up even after you heal: Researchers reporting in JAMA Network Open found that people who walked for a total of 100 minutes a day had a 23% lower risk of lower back pain than those who walked 78 minutes—and walking daily helped no matter how slow or fast they strolled. Stretch your hamstrings Tight hamstrings can strain your lower back and irritate the sciatic nerve. And just 5 minutes of stretching three times a week eased pain by 61% in three weeks, according to a Korean study. Best of all, the moves couldn’t…

1 You don’t need a pelvic exam every year If you’ve always thought an annual pelvic exam—where your doctor inspects the vulva, looks inside the vagina with a speculum and feels the uterus and ovaries from the outside to check for anything unusual—was a must, you’re not alone. Doctors used to say that too, but guidelines have changed. “There’s really no scientific basis for doing a pelvic exam yearly if you’re lowrisk and have no symptoms,” notes Esther Eisenberg, M.D., co-lead editor of Menopause: What Your Ob-Gyn Wants You to Know. Today, many doctors agree that it’s fine to hold off on this full check of your reproductive system unless there’s a specific reason, such as pain, unusual discharge or abnormal bleeding. Even annual cervical cancer screenings aren’t necessary for…

Tap awareness Harness HALT Since we’re so used to scrolling, it can be hard to even realize that our relationship with our phones isn’t ideal, says expert Doreen Dodgen-Magee, PsyD. “A great way to tap awareness is to use the HALT assessment a few times a day,” she advises. “When we notice we’re doom scrolling, we can instead ask ourselves if we’re Hungry, Angry, Lonely or Tired. Are we really hungry for another TikTok video or for a moment of calm? If it’s the latter, perhaps doing one small thing, like taking a walk, would make us feel better. Anything we can do to meet our actual needs rather than feed our desire to be distracted will help us take more breaks in the future.” Ask one question We need…

I’ve always felt very grateful to live in a friendly town. People generally smile and wave as they pass each other. I was recently reminded of how significant those small gestures can be. As I was leaving my gym one afternoon, I smiled at a woman I walked past. A few seconds later she turned back around and thanked me for my smile. She said it was a gift. Her comment took me by surprise and brightened my whole afternoon, and I hoped my little gesture might inspire her to spread that warmth to someone else. The whole exchange reminded me how important it is to show appreciation for the simple things people do every day. —Miriam Schultz, Coeur d'Alene, ID GOOD IN THE WORLD A warm heart One cold…

We’re not going anywhere—especially with the rain coming,” Pam Wendtland said as her daughter, Libby, handed her the keys for her Nissan Rogue, which had a car seat—Pam’s did not. Libby and her husband, Andrew, were leaving their 1-year-old, Harper, with her grandmother overnight. Later, Pam tucked Harper into her crib while her 9-year-old golden retriever, Murphy, stood at the bedroom door. “We better get some sleep too,” she said, and Murphy curled up by her bed. But at about 11:30, Pam awakened to Murphy’s low whimpering. Figuring he needed to go out, she climbed out of bed. Murphy padded behind but turned back. I guess not, Pam thought. Glancing out the window, she noticed the rain had begun. But at 2:45, it happened again—only this time, Murphy was…
