Properly fueling your runs and recovery is an important way to boost your performance. But every runner has different dietary needs, so it can take some trial and error to find the dietary method that works for you.

We tapped Marisa Moore, MBA, RDN, LD, Culinary and Integrative Dietitian, and Lori Russell M.S., RD, CSSD, CPT to find out. What is the Mediterranean diet? The Mediterranean diet is not actually a “diet” that you try out for a little while to achieve short-term health goals. Instead, it’s i...

Many states prioritized COVID-19 vaccines for people over 75, then moved to those over 65, but they shouldn't keep stepping down by age, an advisory committee to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said Monday.  The approach is inherently unfair to minorities, committee members said, because they have a lower life-expectancy and because people of color are dying of COVID-19 at younger ages than white Americans – even in their 30s, 40s and 50s.  "I'm not in favor of any part of an age eligibility bracket under 65," said Dr. José Romero, a pediatric infectious disease specialist at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences in Little Rock and chairman of the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices. The committee disagreed with plans in some states to require people to s...

Well, it’s hard to compare the two health systems. SSM Health has 18 clinics across the state that are vaccinating patients, in many different locations. UW Health has four clinics offering vaccine, and all of them are in Dane County. “It’s been clear that the more counties that you are allocating to, the more do...

Jonah Hill's body image message is making waves.  The actor recently shared on Instagram a heartfelt message about his struggles to accept himself after British tabloid the Daily Mail posted paparazzi pictures of the 37-year-old surfing.  "I don’t think I ever took my shirt off in a pool until I was in my mid-30s even in front of family and friends," Hill admitted. "Probably would have happened sooner if my childhood insecurities weren’t exacerbated by years of public mockery about my body by press and interviewers. So the idea that the media tries to play me by stalking me while surfing and printing photos like this and it can’t phase me anymore is dope." The Superbad star concluded, "I’m 37 and finally love and accept myself. This isn’t a 'good for me' post. And it’s definitely not a ...

Arizona on Monday announced two of its state-run vaccination sites are now open to anyone 55 years of age and older as the first step in moving to an age-based model fo distributing the COVID-19 vaccine. The decision is part of a hybrid age-based approach the state is taking to its vaccine rollout moving forward, state health department director Dr. Cara Christ said. The state will be prioritizing those 55 and older and a specific group of front line essential workers. "One of the things that was difficult with the priorities as we moved through was proving that you were eligible to get the vaccine," Christ said. For example, figuring out how people would prove that they have an underlying health condition, she said. By moving to an age-based approach, most of the people with underlying c...
