The Second Brain: How the Nervous System Affects Digestion
Listen, something I don’t think we talk about enough on this platform is digestion - and it’s not for lack of desire to talk about it! Obviously all dietitians are trained in digestive function and medical nutrition therapy for concerns regarding digestion, but not all of us develop special focus in this area (although given how much work the gut does for us, it’s hard not to have some sort of daily discussion around it).

7 Soups That Won't Spike Your Blood Sugar
Key Takeaways: Most blood-sugar-friendly soups have a base of protein and non-starchy vegetables, with beans or whole grains as the slow-digesting carb.

If your favorite soup is pasta- or potato-heavy, you do not have to ditch it altogether. Simply reduce the starchy portion and add protein, fiber, and healthy fat.

The Day I Stopped Rubbing My Eyes at Work
Rubbing my eyes had become automatic. I never thought about it. A quick press of my palms into my eye sockets. A slow blink afterward. Sometimes a stretch or a sigh followed. It happened dozens of times a day, usually without my awareness.

Fast Track one Day Detox Diet: Better Slow Down on the Detox Claim
Promise of a Quick Diet Through Detox Ann Louise Gittleman’s fad diet, The Fast Track One-Day Detox Diet, has a misleading title. The diet doesn’t take one day to complete, and it’s more about flushing “toxins” from the body. It may have short-term success as a weight loss program, but this diet depends too much on the concept of detoxification -- which has never been scientifically proven to be beneficial.
