Most days, we live an unforgivably stressful existence — all the more in the last few years of pandemic-era stress where it feels like our fight-or-flight instincts are triggered just about every day. Between work, family and everything else that crops up to make your head spin and keep you scrolling through your phone, any and all precious free time should probably be spent trying to take the edge off. Particularly when we’re living in a pandemic and there’s a lot of time to just be at home and left alone with your thoughts (horrifying)....

In fact, there are a number of exercises that will help you recover from back pain, strengthen weak muscles and increase your flexibility....

For the first time in nearly a decade, health officials in upstate New York discovered a case of polio in an unvaccinated young man. The case, which was detected in late July, is believed to have originated outside of the United States and was transmitted from someone who received the oral polio vaccine, according to the New York State Health Department. Polio, which arrived in the United States in 1894 caused widespread panic and fear primarily due to the speed in which the virus could spread and its symptoms....

Will Kate Middleton and Prince William have more children? It’s a question that seems to be popping up with increasing frequency lately. But judging by a candid comment Kate made to a fan while the royal couple visited Bradford, Yorkshire, it looks as though three may be the lucky number when it comes to Cambridge kids. Kate and William have already welcomed three beautiful children into the royal family: Prince George, 6, Princess Charlotte, 4, and Prince Louis, 1....

Caitlin Thompson has had a triple dose of the new-mom experience this past year. Not only does the actor, who plays Madison on This Is Us, portray a mom of twin babies on the small screen, but she’s also a new mom IRL, too. Thompson and her husband, This Is Us creator Dan Fogelman, welcomed their first child, son Ben, last May — although fans of the new mama had to wait quite a while to get a glimpse of her baby on social media....

Whether or not you’ve found it, everyone has a favorite sex position. Sometimes it takes some time and awkward fumbling to figure it out. But what if the secret to having amazing, toe-curling sex was a simple matter of turning to the stars as your sexual guru? “Astrology reveals how we all have different personality traits based on the zodiac sign that we are born under that shapes our libido and what we like between the sheets,” astrologer Nicolas Aujula tells SheKnows....

In recent years, there’s been more necessary conversation about the problematic nature of Thanksgiving. Yes, even I grew up participating in cultural appropriation and whitewashing (did anyone else wear a headband with a feather while learning about the so-called blissful shared meal between the Pilgrims and Indians?) Thankfully, these false and violent narratives are continually exposed, and conversations about decolonizing, reframing, and rethinking Thanksgiving are emerging.

For people of reproductive age right now, one of the consistent questions about the novel coronavirus and the illnesses it can cause (like COVID-19) is what does it mean for pregnant people and those trying to conceive? As new information develops every day, researchers are beginning to get a better picture of the different ways the virus affects different bodies. And, according to a recent study published in American Journal of Clinical Pathology, researchers at Northwestern University’s Feinberg School of Medicine have found evidence of the virus “inducing some injury in the placenta” of pregnant people....

When you think of Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, you may think of how you see him in movies: an action hero, all muscle and grit (and did we mention muscle?). But Dwayne Johnson’s best quotes about raising daughters prove that, while not on set, Johnson is actually a total sweetheart. And obviously, that nothing brings out his soft side more than his three daughters: Simone, 18, Jasmin, 4, and Tiana, 2....

It’s bad enough that we’re in the middle — nay, on the worst day ever — of a global pandemic. Bad enough that we’re stuck working from home, with our kids at home too. Bad enough that “the holidays” now run from the beginning of October until well into January. It is bad enough that I must hear constant Christmas music for at least two months everywhere I go, and 99% of it consists of the same 10 or so songs that I hear over and over....

One doesn’t necessarily expect to have a lot in common with a CW star. I’m a mom and writer in Brooklyn. Director, producer, and Jane the Virgin actor Justin Baldoni is a dad who is finishing his second movie as director while running a nonprofit, writing books, and making his YouTube show Man Enough, about redefining masculinity. But the sounds on both ends of the line when we spoke last week were much the same: ambient outdoor noises punctuated by little voices popping in at inopportune times....
