7 Foods That Are Making You Bloated

By PENELOPE ROSE MORRISON After a weekend of indulging, it's no surprise you feel bloated on Monday. But it's not always rich, fatty foods that cause ballooning in your midsection. It turns out that the biggest culprits for those prone to tummy troubles are FODMAPs, finds research from the International Journal of Clinical Practice. The acronym stands for fermentable oligosaccharides, disaccharides, monosaccharides, and polyols. In short: "These carbohydrates are poorly absorbed in the small intestine and rapidly fermented by bacteria in the gastrointestinal tract," says Julia Greer, MD, an assistant professor of medicine at the University of Pittsburgh. This process creates gas, which leads to symptoms like bloating. For short-term relief, Greer recommends lying on your stomach, exercising, and drinking water to help gas bubbles move along.

Can A Lack Of B12 Really Make You Depressed?

By KATE ASHFORD As vitamins go, B12 is an important one. It's essential for nerve and blood cells and helps make DNA. It also staves off a form of anemia that can cause weakness and fatigue. If you aren't getting enough, you can experience a medley of problems, from constipation to loss of appetite to trouble concentrating. A recent medical journal article even suggests that a vitamin B12 deficiency may have been the cause of Mary Todd Lincoln's psychiatric and physical issues, which included a sore mouth and delusions. But can a shortage of B12 really contribute to depression? In a way, yes. "Low levels will worsen the symptoms of depression" because you need B vitamins to produce and metabolize the mood chemical serotonin, says Joseph Feuerstein, MD, an...

Powerful Antioxidant Breakfast Smoothie

According to this study, by far the most comprehensive of its kind in history, there are only three whole foods on the planet that have more antioxidant power than cloves. One of them is amla—dried Indian gooseberries. Now, not only is it more powerful, but, also more palatable. You could add a whole teaspoon of amla to a smoothie, and probably wouldn’t even taste it. Try doing that with a teaspoon of powdered cloves. One sip; you’d be on the floor! Let’s look at the antioxidant content of some typical American breakfast foods: bacon [7] and eggs [+8], for example. A bowl of corn flakes [25] with milk [+9]. Egg McMuffin [16]. Pancakes [16] with maple syrup [+9]. Bagel [24] with cream cheese [+2]. Dr. Greger's Breakfast...

5 Steps to Stop Stress in Its Tracks

By Sharon Salzberg At best, stress is a constant hum; at its worst, it’s an acute and insidious pang. There are countless reasons for stress, spanning from inbox overload to more painful experiences like grief. While we can’t control our experiences, we can control how we respond to them. With that in mind, here’s a quick and effective five-step plan to help stop stress from spiraling out of control. 1.
