Women wanting to protect their heart should eat most of their calories earlier in the day, a new study suggests.
Researchers found heart disease risk factors worsened when a large proportion of daily calories were consumed after 6 p.m., and even more so, after 8 p.m. When women — and men, to a lesser degree — eat their biggest meal at night, they are fighting their biological clocks.
Follow the link to see why every 1% increase in calories consumed after 6 p.m. was associated with a worse health score — a higher BMI, higher blood pressure and higher long-term blood sugar levels. |

Happy World Kindness Day! There’s overwhelming evidence that giving and receiving kindness is good for your health.
Kindness feels good, buffers stress and can lower your body’s inflammatory response, said Dr. Kelli Harding, author of “The Rabbit Effect: Live Longer, Happier, and Healthier with the Groundbreaking Science of Kindness.”
One of the best ways to boost your mood is to practice little acts of kindness every day. When you’re getting a cup of coffee, look the barista in the eye and ask her how her day is going. During your commute, let another car go in front of you. If you’re in a line at the airport, help a person who is in a rush.

| 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. |
