Considering that vegetables, fruits, legumes, and whole grains are packed with tons of key nutrients, it’s no secret that adopting a plant-based diet has a plethora of health benefits, including boosting longevity and gut health. But what is exactly in plant-based foods that gives them their superpowers? Phytonutrients. Researchers and health experts have been obsessing over compounds called phytonutrients for years for their anti-inflammatory, anti-cancer, and heart-healthy benefits.

For most folks, sleep and coffee don’t exactly go hand in hand. And it makes sense, considering coffee is loaded with caffeine,—about 96 milligrams per eight-ounce cup—a potent stimulant. If you're a proud coffee drinker, you're probably downing a few cups early in the day, and still...

The One Ingredient a Sleep Expert Wants You To Add to Your Coffee for the Best Quality Sleep

A full night's rest should leave you feeling refreshed and rejuvenated come morning, right? So why do you often find yourself waking up with a sore throat, chapped lips, or a dry, tacky feeling in your mouth instead?. You likely didn't magically transport to the desert overnight, but you may...

Waking Up With a Dry Mouth? Here’s What Your Body’s Trying To Tell You

If you've ever felt a burning sensation in your stomach or throat—after eating a particularly heavy meal or drinking your morning cup of joe, for example—you've likely had a case of heartburn or indigestion. This feeling every once in a while is harmless and not typically cause for concern.

When you’re pregnant, your body goes through massive changes (you are growing an actual human being, after all!).

Chalk it up to another strange pregnancy phenomenon.

Glute Muscle Loss During Pregnancy Is a Thing. Here’s How to Fix It

Do you know anyone who has dual nature? Such two-faced zodiac signs are friendly but they gossip about others behind their backs. They can lie to you without batting an eyelid. However, detecting a two-faced person isn’t easy for everyone. They often compliment their friends when they achieve a goal or change their wardrobe. But they will make negative remarks about you to someone else. What other traits do two-faced people have?

3 Zodiac Signs Who Are Two-Faced

There are only a few things that never go out of style. Sourdough is arguably one of them. Although the technique is hardly new—it dates as far back as 3700 BC—we’ve seen a rise (pun intended) in sourdough making over the last few years. But why? Perhaps it has to do with the powerful gut health potential of this humble ingredient.

Chickpeas (aka garbanzo beans) have often been regarded as one of the main cornerstones of health foods for thousands of years, with roots dating as far back as 3500 BCE in Turkey and 6790 BCE in France. But it’s no secret why they’ve managed to stick around our pantry shelves for this long: They’re an excellent source of many vital nutrients and minerals that promote overall well-being.

Most of us who engage in heavy alcohol use do so to self-medicate. And we self-medicate because we don’t know how to feel, process, and sit with our uncomfortable emotions. There are many ways to avoid uncomfortable feelings; heavy alcohol use is just one way (among many) to numb out, avoid, or escape. A lot of us who have abused alcohol, myself included, do so to regulate our emotions, or we think we are regulating our emotions through self-medication.

Let's face it: Farting is a natural part of life. Our guts were designed to do it! You may find yourself passing more gas during the day if you ate something particularly fibrous (looking at you, beans) or if you've had too many sparkling waters to count. But what if your gut's "farty party" doesn't really start until you curl into bed at the end of the day? Beyond it being annoying, smelly, loud farts can keep you (and possibly your partner, sorry) from drifting off to sleep. If you're always asking yourself, "why am I so gassy at night?" this one's for you.

The Well+Good team has tried basically every style of Cariuma's shoes available, so believe me when I say: we love them. And, while the brand's eco-friendly kicks are definitely worth paying full price for, we certainly wouldn't say no to a pair of Cariuma's on sale, especially at half off. Luckily, that's exactly what's going down with the Cariuma Archive Event, now through June 17th. The sale is exclusive, but don't worry—you know somebody (moi!) who can get you in. All you have to do is visit their dedicated Archive Event page and use the code ARCHIVEACCESS to shop some of their fan-favorite sneakers (and backpacks) for 50 percent off. Now pick your jaw up off the floor and get to shopping, because it is an archive sale. That means that once these style are gone, they're retired for good!

Over the years we've racked up quite the collection of luxury perfume. Some of our all-time faves? The powdery notes in Maison Francis Kurkdjian Baccarat Rouge 450 or the smoky fruit of Tom Ford Lost Cherry. And while they smell amazing, last for hours, and look extra fancy on a clean vanity, refilling our favorite luxury scents can quickly rack up a hefty bill (with some even ringing up at over $300 bucks).
