Nighttime heat: The stroke risk we didn’t know about

The summer solstice has only just arrived, but there’s no mistaking the season: A heat wave has been smothering swaths of the Northeast and Midwest this week, with temperatures smashing records in cities throughout New England and Maine. Though these spots will get some relief this weekend, the National Weather Service forecasts continued highs in the 90s and above across the Ohio Valley to the Mid-Atlantic—and of course, months of summer stretch ahead for us all. So there’s no time like the present to brush up on the best way to rehydrate yourself when you’re quite literally baking.

The Best Way to Rehydrate Quickly When You’re Super Hot and Sweaty

We're all seeking the best ways to get a good night's sleep, as quality rest reduces stress and improves health. However, it can be hard to know what to do or what to eat in order to achieve this, so here are five vitamins that will improve your sleep. Vitamin A, which can be found in eggs and dark leafy greens, can impact our circadian rhythm, which in turn will improve sleep quality. One of the culprits for sleep disturbance is a lack of vitamin B1, which can be found in lean meats and whole wheat foods. Vitamin B6, which can be found in bananas, is said to improve your mental health, which in turn allows you to sleep better. Research indicates that vitamin C facilitates longer and more restful sleep, so eating more citrus fruits and berries is advised. Poor vitamin D levels have been linked to sleep apnea, and its consumption through things like dairy and fish is said to improve sleep quality.

There's something about seeing something out of the ordinary, be it a strange animal, an accident or even an argument between strangers. Humans are naturally curious beings and seeing a random argument between your neighbor and her teenage son will have some people outside taking their goldfish for a walk just to gawk. So it's not surprising that thousands of viewers tuned in when Ayanna Williams, the Guinness World Record holder for the world's longest nails went to have them all cut off. Williams had her record breaking nails for 29 years but decided it was finally time to bid them adieu and the entire thing was filmed. It's a monumental moment for the record holder after having lived with the 24 foot nails for decades.Most of us would simply need to grab a pair of fingernail clippers and get clipping, but for Williams the process was a bit more complicated.

In these dog days, the heat can really sneak up on you: One minute you’re seemingly fine, enjoying a picnic in the park, and the next, all you can think about is the sun bearing down on you.

It’s all too easy to surpass what feels like your point of no return—so now you’re schvitzing, steaming, and unable to focus on anything beyond how to cool down your body right this second.

Experts share eight reasons your perspiration might seem extra pungent—some of which you can influence. You might already know that your body hosts a bustling ecosystem of bacteria that’s both a sign of, and a player in, your overall health. Just like Harvard Health says your digestive system houses an astounding 100 trillion beneficial and harmful bacteria, similarly, your skin is home to about 1,000 species of bacteria. You don’t see them, at least not without a microscope but they too are both an impact on, and a reflection of, aspects of your health. One of those clues is body odor.

Jennifer Lopez has been at the center of divorce rumors with husband Ben Affleck for months. While the couple hasn’t publicly commented on the state of their marriage, it’s believed that they’re on the rocks and headed for a permanent split. Meanwhile, sources claim that JLo is trying to figure out the next steps in her life, and she’s been leaning on her former flame, rapper Drake, while doing so.

I’ve been with my partner for two and a half years, but we only started regularly sharing a bed a few months ago. No, we didn’t suddenly reconcile after a dramatic sleep divorce, or at least not an intentional one: I’m just a heavy snorer dating a light sleeper, and for years that equation added up to me snoozing on the couch whenever I stayed over at their house. We tried noise-blocking earbuds, Breathe Right strips, and even mouth taping (I don’t doubt that it works for some people, but I felt like I was being kidnapped by the Joker), all to no avail—that is, until I finally acquiesced to my partner’s repeated request that I see a sleep doctor.
