Many people drink alcohol to relax and feel good at the end of the day, but a new study suggests skipping that daily glass of wine is a better way to boost mental health.
The effect was particularly powerful in women who stopped drinking, but experts have seen the benefit in men, too.
“When people get sober, they a lot of times will feel calmer, their anxiety diminishes and there’s less irritability. They just say, ‘Wow, that’s a better place to be,’” said Dr. James C. Garbutt, a psychiatry professor at the Bowles Center for Alcohol Studies at the University of North Carolina.

| Even when we know people’s names, why do we go for days without using them? By using someone’s name, you help them feel seen and acknowledged — and that’s an act of kindness. According to kindness.org’s research in collaboration with the University of Oxford, doing a kind act increases happiness, well-being, trust and compassion. And it can have the same powerful effect on those who receive the act. Try it, and put a smile on both your faces. |

There's no one recipe for a long life, but Dr. Mehmet Oz has gathered plenty of delicious ideas from around the world to give it a try.
Hazelnuts are one of the foods to eat for a longer life, he says. They’re a good source of antioxidants, but eating them in a chocolate spread doesn't quite cut it. For the most benefit, eat whole roasted nuts with the antioxidant-dense skin. And you can still keep the chocolate if you try a home-made dark chocolate-hazelnut bar.
