You’d be silly to think the world of nondairy milks has reached its limit because, as demonstrated by the plethora to choose from — soy, almond, cashew, oat, and even milk made from potatoes and pea protein — nondairy-milks can be made out of anything. So why stop there? Is there another grain we can

If you’re watching curling at the Winter Olympics (and really, how could you not?), you might have noticed something unusual about the stones used in competition: a set of lights near the handles that glow green from time to time. In a sport that’s mostly conducted using low-tech equipment like chunks of granite and “brooms,”

Prince Charles tested positive for COVID on Thursday morning, and Queen Elizabeth II is “being monitored” for symptoms, a source confirmed with Us Weekly. The two saw each other on Tuesday, two days before his diagnosis, at an event at Windsor Castle where the Queen is staying. The Queen, 95, is fully vaccinated and is

Trimetazidine, also known as TMZ, is a drug used to treat the heart condition angina, so it might seem strange that it’s also considered a banned substance by the World Anti-Doping Association (WADA). That’s because WADA lists trimetazidine as a “metabolic modulator,” a type of drug that, according to a 2011 review, effects the heart

Nathan Chen took the Beijing Olympics by storm when he won gold in men’s figure skating on Feb. 10 (Feb. 9 in the US). But his teammate Jason Brown placed sixth overall in the standings after the free skate portion concluded and showcased what it means to exude art on the ice. Brown, 27, is

For Nathan Chen, the 2022 Olympics in Beijing were about proving that he could do what he does so well — skate dazzling, quad-packed routines — under the pressure of the Olympic spotlight. After the men’s free skate on Feb. 9 (Feb. 10 in Beijing), Chen’s status is secured. His brilliant free skate, along with

Beijing 2022 marks Lindsey Jacobellis’s fifth Winter Olympics, and on Feb. 9, she clinched snowboard cross Olympic gold for the very first time. It was also Team USA’s first gold at these Beijing Games, and NBC Sports’s On Her Turf reports that, at 36, she’s now the oldest American woman to win a medal at

The Winter Olympics are arguably more about speed than anything else. You know speed skating is fast because “speed” is literally in the name, and if you’ve ever tuned in to downhill skiing, you know how fast those athletes fly. Incredibly, though, luge is considered the fastest sport at the Games. According to the official

She may be heading into her second Winter Olympics, but mark our words: Chloe Kim is just getting started. After taking an extended break from the sport, the 21-year-old snowboarder is back in action, recently winning her sixth consecutive competition since her debut last season. After clinching back-to-back world championships, Kim is a near shoo-in

Nathan Chen is leaving PyeongChang where it belongs (at least for him): in the past. After posting a career-best short program in the 2022 Olympics team event, Chen went and pushed even higher in the individual short program, scoring a stunning 113.97. That was enough to top the standings, yes, but it also set a

As the 2022 Winter Olympics in Beijing get underway, curling is one of the first sports to get its competition started. This challenging but admittedly quirky sport is always a fan favorite at the Olympics, but if you only watch it once every four years, you might not have a firm grasp on how the

Figure skater Kamila Valieva just made history at the 2022 Beijing Games. During her team-event free skate, Valieva became the first woman to successfully land a quad jump at the Olympics, a huge feat to go along with the 15-year-old’s first Olympic medal (a team-event gold, naturally). And in true Valieva fashion, she didn’t stop

The figure skating competition at the 2022 Winter Olympics is in full swing, with the team event kicking things off in the opening days of the Olympics. If you’re new to figure skating, you might not recognize this event, which itself hasn’t been around that long. So how does this “team” competition work? The team

Figure skating at the 2022 Olympics in Beijing kicked off on Feb. 4 with the team event, and apparently Team USA decided to put on a show. Through three disciplines so far, the US has a somewhat surprising lead over the Russian Olympic Committee, courtesy of career-best programs from Nathan Chen, Madison Hubbell and Zachary

According to a new study published in “PLOS One,” ASMR videos could help alleviate anxiety. ASMR, which stands for autonomous sensory meridian response, is the whole-body sensation some people experience when they hear certain trigger sounds, such as a person whispering, paper crinkling, seltzer bubbles fizzing, or scoring sourdough. ASMR is described as an intensely

Trying to regulate my digestion is a balancing act, to say the least. Sometimes I poop several times in a day, and other times not at all. As a college student, the stress of school threw off my already barely-there pooping schedule, so I regularly took prebiotics to help regulate my gut — and it

Nathan Chen has many titles: Quad King. Six-time national champ. Three-time world champ. And now? Totally chill Olympian. The pressure is on for Chen, a favorite for individual figure skating gold at the 2022 Beijing Olympics. He returns to claim redemption after falling in the Pyeongchang 2018 men’s short program and finishing off the podium

The COVID-19 vaccine does come with side effects, and there have long been rumors and misinformation that infertility is one of them. A prospective study published last month aims to put some of those fears to rest. The study, led by researchers at the Boston University School of Public Health (BUSPH), found that the COVID-19

Many people take melatonin to fall asleep faster or avoid waking up during the night. In fact, Americans used more than twice the amount of melatonin in 2018 that they used in the previous decade, according to research published in “The Journal of the American Medical Association.” The study warns that taking too much melatonin
