7 Reasons to Brew Your Tea

Tea offers a spectrum of health perks but there’s a catch — the bottled kind may fall short on beneficial nutrients. You get a far greater concentration of disease-fighting antioxidants with a home-brewed cup.

Avoid Antibiotics in Your Food

Antibiotics are routinely given to animals and even some farmed fish, not to treat illness but to promote growth and prevent infectious outbreaks. This use promotes the development of resistant germs, increasing the risk that when we need the drugs to fight an infection, they won’t work. To protect yourself, choose antibiotic-free meats, fish, eggs, milk and other dairy products.

Why Yogurt Is Good for You

Science may not have proved that yogurt contributes to an exceptionally long and healthy life, but there's evidence to support its far-reaching health benefits. Yogurt provides probiotics, the "friendly bacteria" that keep the digestive system running smoothly and contribute to overall well-being.

Should You Eat MSG?

Despite a growing demand for natural foods, the use of MSG (monosodium glutamate) is expected to increase. Whether or not you choose to eat this particular additive really depends on your own priorities, but it helps to understand how it works, why it’s used as a flavor enhancer, and where it's hiding on food labels.

Olive Oil: How to Choose the Healthiest One

Olive oil can help to lower cholesterol and blood pressure, prevent clogged arteries and cancer, and may even protect against Alzheimer’s disease. But not all olive oils are created equal. If you’re looking for health benefits, the extra virgin label is crucial.
