It becomes an uncomfortable list of things that you should have done, but hey, you have to live life too.

HEALTH & WELLNESS Add MCT Oil to Grocery List MCT oil is a great source of omega-3 fatty acids and a good alternative to fish oil if you experience fish burps. It's known in fitness circles for supporting appetite control, regulating inflammation, and increasing energy. In recent years, its consumption has increased in the mainstream with ketogenic diet fans and the go-to coffee condiment for the health-conscious. Learn more about the metabolic benefits of this super oil and whether it is the next ingredient to add to your supplements list. Infrared Saunas Are the Anti-Cold Plunge   Infrared saunas offer the ultimate muscle recovery experience, whether you're unwinding after an intense workout or a demanding workweek.   While the distinction between infrared saunas and their traditional counterparts is subtle, there's something uniquely invigorating about the sensation of heat lights blasting directly on the body that warms the soul.   Sweating it out in this hot box isn't just about breaking a sweat; it's about transforming your well-being. If the thought of an ice bath sends shivers down your spine, embrace the warmth of using an infrared sauna. 6 Ways To Keep the Grays Away This morning, you may have noticed a few gray hairs on your head or hiding in your beard or mustache. If you blame your job or kids for aging you, you're probably right; genetics (thanks, Dad), vitamin deficiencies, and stress are a few reasons why hair follicles lighten. A 2021 Columbia University Irving Medical Center study found that stress can contribute to the development of hair graying, but practicing de-stressing methods can reverse the effects. While you could embrace your silver locks like George Clooney or Bonnie Raitt, comb through these 6 tips for keeping the grays away. Rucking Is the New Cardio of Choice Whether you have hip and knee issues, an overactive toddler, or prefer the outdoors to the gym, rucking is the type of low-impact cardio everyone should consider doing. You don't need a $200+ ruck pack to feel like a legit rucker. Put the kiddos in the carrier, fill the CamelBak, and don't forget the baggie of snacks; it's time to hit the dusty trails ... sidewalks if you're in the city or suburbs. TRENDING ON SOCIAL Getting Swole With Creatine   If you're considering taking creatine monohydrate, you may have heard of the "loading phase." This is when you down 20–25 grams of creatine for 5-7 days. It gets a bad rap due to short-term side effects like water retention, cellular bloating, and weight gain.   Contrary to popular belief, muscle swelling from creatine may not be as bad as you think. Nutrition coach Maya Valenti explains how this swole side effect may benefit your training. Gym Etiquette Rule #2: Beware of the Hopper!   Beware of "The Hopper!" You'll encounter this shady character at every type of gym, monopolizing all the equipment you're itching to use. They're relentless in their commitment to 'supper-sitting' during peak hours. First Day at the Gym vs When It's Your Home Gym Starting a new gym can be challenging. You have to learn the distance between the squat rack to the water fountain, how long you have to wait for a treadmill, and build enough regularity to blend in with the locals. Hang in there; give it a month, and the gym will become your home away from home!
