A cup of hot coffee in the morning does more than just boost your energy. It can also help you poop. But coffee isn’t the only beverage that can keep you regular. If you’re constipated, making sure you are adequately hydrated should be a top priority. Research has found that even small variations in hydration can increase your risk of constipation because your poop is mostly water (up to 74% water, in fact!). That fluid is important for keeping stools soft and easy to pass. However, when hydration levels dip, the large intestine soaks up water as food passes through it, which leads to hard stools.

(MA) Meet Winks, an adorable and incredibly strong puppy with a heartbreaking origin. Winks was found unmoving on the side of a road with severe injuries. He had several very infected wounds and was barely holding on when his rescuers rushed him to the vet. Once there, x-rays revealed the horrifying truth that Winks had been shot numerous times around his face and neck. These injuries resulted in him having his eye removed. Despite that, Winks has made a miraculous and full recovery. He certainly does not let his handicap slow him down at his new foster home. Winks was truly given a second chance at life, and now all he needs is a family to call his own.

There’s a saying I always used to hear from chefs and my culinary school instructors: “A dull knife is the most dangerous tool in the kitchen.” It’s true, and even the best knives will lose their sharpness. There are a few reasons it's unsafe: First, dull knives give you less control, so food might slide or wobble as you slice, leading to accidental contact with the blade. The other is that because the blade is dull, it could cause more damage if it does cut you. (That’s because you’re using more pressure to cut, and the less-sharp edges don’t cut smoothly.)
