Red wine may just be the healthiest alcoholic beverage of them all, however, too much of anything—even something as antioxidant-filled as a glass of pinot noir—has its consequences. At the end of 2020, a study revealed that drinking red wine and eating cheese was associated with improved cognitive function. But wait, before you run out and buy out the red wine selection at your nearest liquor store, just know that drinking too much of the stuff can lead to adverse health complications, some of which can even be deadly.…

Whether or not you realize it, your body is naturally detoxing all the time, without any nudging—and not just when it’s sweating out the remnants of Tequila Tuesday during a brutal Wednesday-morning workout. You have many detoxification systems that recruit various organs, including your skin, lymph nodes, brain, kidneys, and liver. (For a primer on the two-step detox process, read this.) When Your Detox System Needs A Jumpstart Even though detoxing happens naturally, there are times when you can benefit from helping it…

Peanut butter is one of the tastiest and most versatile spreads out there. It can go sweet or savory, and it can easily fill you up thanks to its protein punch. And on their own, peanuts are super healthy. "Peanuts on their own are a highly nutritious food," says Roxana Ehsani, MS, RD, CSSD, LDN, registered dietitian nutritionist in Nevada. "Per 1 oz. of raw peanuts, peanuts provide 161 calories, 7 grams of protein, 14 grams of fat (fat coming from monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats, which are two heart-healthy…

In connection with a second killer wave, the President of Madagascar met with the Madagascan National Academy of Medicine on Thursday. Andry Rajoelina finally agreed to give the green light for an antiquated vaccination on the Big Island. The Minister of Health has therefore officially requested a vaccine alliance for low- and middle-income countries, Gavi, to facilitate the Covax device. "The epidemiological developments, the emergence of new variants and the risk-benefit analysis of vaccines have led us to express…

"Drink 8 glasses of water a day" is one of those bits of wisdom that everyone knows but no one seems to know why eight is the magic number. "Eight glasses a day" is like "finish your broccoli," advice we've heard from our parents since we were kids and still mostly ignore. But there's good reason to listen up: 70-75% of an adult's body weight comes from water, according to the Institute of Medicine (IOM). So, it's pretty obvious how important water is to a healthy body. But why 8 ounces 8 times a day? And what does…

Raise your hand if pandemic life means more coffee and less sleep. We've got both hands up in the air. While there are some solid benefits of drinking coffee—it may reduce your risk of chronic diseases, improve your workout performance, and help you lose weight, to name a few—too much coffee can wreak havoc on your body. So how much coffee is too much? "Everyone's caffeine tolerance is different, so I would recommend monitoring your individual symptoms associated with coffee intake," says Annamaria Louloudis, MS, RDN,…

Some people look forward to their morning cup of coffee, while others prefer a cup of green tea for a more gentle boost of energy. There are pros and cons to each. With coffee, you have an array of roasts and types of beans to choose from, as well as, myriad methods you can employ to make the perfect cup. For example, do you prefer a pour-over coffee or an espresso? However, the downside of coffee is that it could cause some gastrointestinal discomfort. It may also cause you to become too jittery.

A long, long time ago, a completely wrong-headed idea started being passed around America's dinner tables: Eating fat makes you fat. Well, it's time to erase that from your mind as it's simply wrong. Eating fat won't make you gain weight, any more than eating money will make you rich. Consuming foods that are high in calories can lead you to pack on the pounds, and most "low-fat" or "fat-free" foods actually have just as many calories as their full-fat versions, because of added sugar and chemicals. And there's no debate…

Morocco was officially qualified after a draw between Burundi and the Central African Republic (2-2) and was content with a draw in Mauritania (0-0) for the 5th day in the qualifiers in Group E. It is a result that does not necessarily suit Mauritania who no longer has his fate in hand for a qualification for CAN 2021. More than 16 months later, the return match looks strange to the first stage (0-0). Between Moroccans and Mauritanians there were no winners, no goals. And above all, a little spectacle, so to speak. In the…

A commission that spent almost two years exposing France's role in the 1994 Rwandan genocide concluded that Friday reacted too slowly to estimate the scale of the terror, which left more than 800,000 dead, but cleared the country of involvement in the massacre. The report said France was carrying "heavy and overwhelming responsibility" in the operation that led to the killings, which mainly claimed victims of Rwanda's ethnic minority in Tutsi. Persistent claims that France under then-President Francois…
