   This Is the Best Anti-Aging in-20 According to Science You're already using  anti-aging  moisturizers and anti-aging eye creams–is it time to  adopt  an anti-aging workout, too?  A new study  published  today in the journal  European Heart  Journal  says when it comes down to the anti-aging effects of  exercise , cardio is queen.   Endurance exercise–like  running , swimming, or bicycling–and high-intensity interval  training  (HIIT) both slowed signs of aging compared to lifting  weights –at least on the cellular level. Here’s how the  study  went down: A team of German researchers  divided  124 healthy but inactive  adults  between the ages of 30 and 60 into four groups.  One group carried on with their  non-existent  exercise routines. The other three sweated it out for 45-minute  sessions  three times a week for 26 weeks. The endurance  training  group walked or ran continuously. The HIIT group completed a  warmup , four rounds alternating between faster and  slower  running

10 Sex Positions

  10 Sex Positions  Probably the  last  thing you feel like doing when you're nursing a cold or the flu is getting hot and  bothered . But here's a reason to reconsider:  People  who have sex one to two times a week actually produce more of the  antibody  that prevents illnesses, which boosts your immune  system . Sex, one could argue, might actually help you get  over  your  illness . If you are up for  bumping  and grinding, you don't want to get your partner sick— otherwise  you’ll end up passing your germs back and forth endlessly.  Colds and the flu are  viral  infections, so “they’re transmitted via saliva and breath,”  Felice  Gersh , MD, an ob-gyn and the founder and director of the Integrative  Medical  Practice of Irvine in California, tells  Health . “Anything you can do in bed to lower  contact  between your mouths would prevent  transmitting  illness,” she says. While certain face-to-face  positions  are off the table (sorry, missionary) and kissing is out of t

  The Alcohol You Can Actually Drink on the Keto Diet Yes, most alcoholic  beverages  are essentially carbohydrate in  liquid  form. And yes, since your carbs are so limited on the  keto  diet, you're better off  choosing  carbs that are bundled with good-for-you  nutrients .  (Think whole grains,  fruits , and starchy vegetables—all of which are chock-full of vitamins,  minerals , fiber, and disease-fighting  compounds .)  But hello, we’re  realists : Sometimes you want, deserve, or just  need  a  drink . So what are your best options? It can be tricky to  figure  out how many carbs alcoholic  beverages  contain because they aren't required to come  labeled  with nutrition facts. Below we've founded up a few of the most  keto- friendly drinks, plus a few you should  definitely  skip (sorry, sake fans).  First though, we want to  clear  up some confusion about  booze  and keto that's been spreading on the Inter  webs . You may have read  somewhere  that your body produc
