There are so many nutrients - vitamins, minerals, and others - that the body requires that it can seem overwhelming to make sure you’re not missing any of them from your diet.

There is no substitute for variety, but it’s generally a good strategy to go for quality over sheer quantity.

Sometimes, how food is prepared goes a long way to improving its nutritional value.

Maintaining a healthy diet is hard enough when you know what food and drink is good for you and what is bad. Sometimes it’s hard to figure that out, especially when some foods might be a bit of both.

Sleep is one of those things that we either take for granted or we are desperate to get more of. In either case, quality sleep is an absolute requirement for good health.

Heard of "oil pulling"?

It's a tradition in Ayurvedic medicine, using oil (usually sesame oil) to "pull" toxins out of the body through the mouth. Today, coconut oil is often used instead.

See what the research says about oil pulling and whether it may actually be healthy to make this a part of your daily routine.
