Drink up for better health. What we eat plays a clear role in lowering cholesterol, with nutrient-rich foods like oatmeal, brown rice, high-fiber vegetables, fatty fish and seeds helping out. Beverages help too, as one drink that’s been around for centuries — and is still popular today — not only lowers bad cholesterol, but can also increase longevity. One of the most consumed beverages in the world, green tea has several health benefits, such as protecting the cardiovascular system against stress and even making people happier.

“Divorce” was analogous to a curse word in Enitza Templeton’s hyper-traditional, faith-centered home.  With her husband hailed king of the castle — almost rivaling the Holy Trinity between God the Father, the Son and Holy Spirit — Templeton, who married at age 26, eagerly abandoned her dreams of pursuing a career in art to, instead, satisfy her man’s every command. From growing the family’s produce in her private garden to gussying up in sexy outfits and cosmetics before he came home from work, the brunette’s routine became that of an extreme 1950s homemaker: obeying, baking and baby-making.  It’s a regimen…

Around the world, brightly-colored squishy toys marketed as harmless “sensory” gadgets designed to be squeezed, stretched and smushed have surged in popularity. But behind the viral appeal of NeeDoh toys, doctors say a dangerous pattern is emerging — one that is sending children and teens to the hospital with severe burns amid “blood-curdling screams” of pain, requiring everything from skin grafts to medically-induced comas for treatment.
