Martin’s seemingly unlikely journey to world records began on a whim four decades ago. When her husband—an avid runner who is now her trainer—Chuck Gross went for a jog after dinner one night, Martin laced up her sneakers and decided to join him. Unfortunately, after about 10 minutes, she was too tired to continue. She was so exhausted that she actually laid down in the street. This moment awakened a fear in the then-nurse: If she couldn’t run a block in her 30s, how would she be able to walk when she was 60?...

“I came here because this is what I want to do,” said the 21-year-old caretaker from Douglas, Ga. “I don’t see myself being anything other than a singer. Music has always been a passion to me. To even have this opportunity to audition for American Idol is such a blessing.” It’s a blessing that is only possible for Willie, who had a health scare this past year, because he took control of his well-being....

How did Betty White die? Betty White died from a stroke suffered on Dec. 25, 2021, six days before her Dec. 31 death at age 99, according to her death certificate, the Associated Press reports.

When the news first broke of her death, the Los Angeles Police Department tweeted that its preliminary investigation reveals a “natural cause of death, and there is no evidence of foul play....

So, why should you be brining? Turkey is fairly lean meat, and its absence of fat means that it stands a greater chance of drying out in the oven. The salt in the brine not only infuses a little extra flavor into your turkey, but it also helps break down the bird’s muscle proteins. This increases your turkey’s ability to absorb and retain moisture, meaning it won’t toughen up or dry out!...

And it’s fun for literally no one. Except maybe the gnats themselves. And getting rid of gnats isn’t that fun either. Nobody wants to live with bugs, especially gross little gnats, so naturally, people are looking for different remedies—whether they be natural, at-home remedies or the most efficient kinds of spray or foggers (for outdoor infestations)—that will rid their home of gnats once and for all. But before we get into removal techniques, it’s crucial that you correctly identify the little bugger terrorizing your kitchen....

Signing up for Medicare isn’t necessarily automatic It sounds simple, but not everyone remembers to sign up for Medicare, the federal health insurance program for Americans ages 65 and older, says JeanChatzky, host of the HerMoney podcast. The timing of when to do so is also really important: You’re eligible for Medicare starting three months before you turn 65 and ending three months after the month you turn 65. “If you don’t sign up for Medicare on time you risk a 10 percent surcharge on your Medicare Part B premiums,” she says....

Many want to help Haiti but aren’t sure how, and it’s understandable why many would approach the country’s disaster relief with some trepidation: After the Red Cross raised $500 million for Haiti earthquake relief in 2010, a 2015 investigation found that much of the money that hardworking, well-meaning individuals donated didn’t actually make it to the Haitian people it was supposed to help. (An attorney for the Red Cross denied all allegations of impropriety....

So many great options exist for passing a hot summer’s day: A lounge chair and a novel by the pool, a hike in a state park, an afternoon on a sandy beach, a cook-out on a friend’s patio. And at this point, you probably know to drink lots of water to stay hydrated and apply broad-spectrum sunscreen to protect your skin from the harmful rays of the sun. But what about your thighs?...

What compelled you to write a book about fun? It’s a direct follow-up to my last book, How to Break Up With Your Phone. At first, those two concepts might not seem to be connected, but I’ve realized that they’re intimately connected. When I wrote How to Break Up With Your Phone, perhaps unsurprisingly, I ended up with more free time because I was reclaiming time that I’d formerly spent on my phone and other screens....

Mornings were a very frustrating time in my house growing up. I don’t know if I’ve ever woken up energized or excited. If left on my own, even as a very young kid, I could sleep until noon. But often, I wasn’t allowed to sleep in after 10 a.m.—so I would find odd places to nap throughout the day, little nooks and corners that felt safe. I felt like I was in fight or flight mode in the mornings as a child....

Many people have a health goal of wanting to lose weight after having a baby, but it’s important to be mindful of how to go about it. After all, giving birth puts immense stress on the body; and it’s important to heal and recover. Also, if you’re breastfeeding, your baby is still depending on your body for its own nourishment. With this in mind, it can be difficult to know where exactly WW can fit in (if it even does)....

Nearly 30% of Americans report sleeping naked at least some of the time, according to a survey by mattress brand Casper.

Sleeping naked can offer some health benefits, but ultimately what you wear to bed is a personal preference, says Dr. Marri Horvat, MD with Cleveland Clinic’s Sleep Disorders Clinic....

The 50-year-old actress is spreading some holiday cheer with a brand new video that is sure to lift anyone’s spirit ahead of Christmas. In the hilarious clip shared on Friday, Dec. 16, Garner is seen sporting an inflatable Santa suit that gives the iconic Father Christmas a particularly round shape. And since Santa appears to be all “cookie’d out,” Garner is offering her holiday visitor something a bit more nutritious this year: fruit and vegetable medley pouches from her clean food brand Once Upon a Farm....

But she made sure to clarify in a new video that while some people might assume that she “must like to dress as something super flirty for Halloween,” that couldn’t be further from the truth. In the new video, which Garner shared on Instagram with the caption “♥️🎃♥️,” she proved the statement wrong by sharing clips of her previous Halloween costumes. Some of the ones shown included an old lady, a vampire, a very intense witch (with her face made up with green skin and extreme eyes), and the fan favorite, a very realistic mailbox....
