It’s no secret that Americans love to snack. These between-meal bites are a staple in the typical American diet, with most U.S. adults eating one to three snacks per day, contributing to roughly 20% of our calorie intake. But like anything else diet-related, what you snack on—and when—can impact your health, especially if you have prediabetes or diabetes.

The Best Late-Night Snack for Better Blood Sugar Levels, According to a Dietitian

High blood pressure is a lot more common than you might expect, with about half of adults in the U.S. living with the condition. A heart-healthy lifestyle is often recommended to help lower blood pressure, and can also play a role in preventing other heart issues like heart failure or heart attacks. With delicious ingredients that are low in sodium like lean proteins, healthy fats and fiber-packed veggies, these dinner recipes all meet our nutrition parameters for heart health. To support better blood pressure, each recipe contains at least 15% of daily potassium needs (705 milligrams) per serving which can help improve muscle health and energy levels. Recipes like our Chickpea & Quinoa Grain Bowl or Shrimp Piccata with Zucchini Noodles are perfect additions to your summer menu.

About 1 in 5 adults complain of general fatigue, and constantly being tired is, well, tiring. Plus, according to a recent consumer survey, the most sought-after benefit from food, nutrients and beverages across all generations is—you guessed it—energy and less fatigue. This may prompt someone to march down the supplement aisle in search of a much-needed energy boost. A popular supplement on shelves today—and the one many of us associate with more energy—is a B-complex vitamin.

Whether it's been a few days or a few years, a forkful of liver and onions will always deliver a dose of nostalgia. Salty, buttery chicken livers finish with a touch of oniony sweetness. When cooked properly, livers have a light, crisp outer layer with a buttery rich piece of meat within. The sweet onions really make this dish sing with flavor, and the butter with the browned bits of flour add depth of flavor through and through. Our recipe for liver and onions calls for soaking the meat in buttermilk; others may call for milk or water to help remove some of the gamey, iron flavors common in livers. But we find that the buttermilk helps to mellow out the flavors of the liver for the best final dish.

The first time my family walked into a Ponderosa Steakhouse was in the late 1960s. It was new and the experience was great. Like other new restaurants, if the management doesn't stay on top, the quality of service can decline. The location we went to did change through the years, but in the beginning, it was great.

According to Shakey's website, this pizza parlor is only in California, North Carolina, and Washington state in the U.S. now. This was my family's go-to pizza joint when my father was stationed with the Air Force outside of Omaha, Nebraska.
