New book ideas

I am really into true crime books and books that deal with real life situations (exp. Jodi Picoult books). I have read all of the Jodi books except for the last one. I have it but i just can't seem to get into it. Any other suggestions?

Mothers' Day Breakfast Ideas, Glowy Nail Polishes and More!

Mothers' Day is around the corner, so it's time to figure out how to make it the best celebration your mom's ever had. One way to do it? Pamper her with a delicious breakfast in bed. [BuzzFeed]

Illamasqua has created summer polishes that glow in UV light. Now your new mani can be a legit reason to hit up the club. (Not like your cute new outfit wasn't, anyway!) [Fashionista]

Working out for 30 minutes is good for you, so working out for 60 has to be way better, right? Not necessarily. Doubling your exercise time may not give you double the health benefits. [NYTimes]

3 Non-Cheesy Beauty Ideas For St. Patty's Day

Hello from Dublin, guys! I flew in last night for the weekend to celebrate St. Patty's Day with the fine folks at Jameson. And, since they take the day very, very seriously, I figured I should leave the bright green "Kiss Me, I'm Irish" shirt at home and go for something, well, a bit chicer. Check out these four green beauty ideas so we can all celebrate without being total, Mardi-Gras-bead-wearing cheese balls. (For the record, I've def been one of those cheese balls before.)

Topshop Make Up Color Mascara in Nettle and Matte Eyes in Dirty Martini: Use the matte shadow as an eyeliner (Dampen a flat liner brush, dip in shadow, commence lining), curl your lashes and layer them with the mascara. Isn't there some saying about smiling Irish eyes? You'll definitely have those.China Glaze Nail Lacquer in Four Leaf Clover: Simply the most iconic St. Patty's polish I've ever seen. Top it with a layer of gold sparkles and you'll have the best mani in the pub.Clover Perfume from Demeter: Did you know the three leaf clover (aka Shamrock) is what St. Patrick's used to represent the holy trinity? That's why it's a huge symbol of St. Patrick's Day. Spritz this perfume and you'll instantly give off an Irish country side vibe.

Any ideas what could be wrong with my knee?

I woke up this morning with stiffness and mild pain on my left knee. I took a hot shower and got on with my day as usual. Now, 2 hours after waking, there is more pain and I noticed swelling around the meniscus. It is not a sharp pain but more of an annoying ache.

I am a 25 year old female. I used to be very active until I stopped going to the gym 2 months ago. I used to run on the treadmill for 30 minutes 3x per week. I am fairly sedentary now, but I don't sit still for long because I'm a restless person.

I did not hit my knee against anything and I did not kneel yesterday. I did paint a wall using a small ladder, but it didn't take much time. I put an elastic tube bandage on my knee now (tubigrip).

Any idea what could be causing this pain when I haven't done anything strenuous?

P.S: I had Osgood Schlatters disease between the age of 10 to 12 because I was a sprinter.

Drink& snacks ideas?

Hey!

I'm looking to replace some of the water I drink with caloric drinks because hey, any chance to easily sneak some calories is in is awesome! Right now I drink one of those Silk Soy Milk Very Vanilla flavored boxes, the shelf stable ones you buy that are single serve with a straw. I love them! They're delicious and fun to drink. I'd like to add more things like that. Im not talking about the Ensure/fortisip kind of drink, something more along the lines of the milks. I am dairy free so I can't have regular milk. Any ideas? Also, I reallllly don't like nut butters, and I know how recommended they are for a calorie dense snack. I've tried to make myself like them but I just don't. Other than nut butters or ensure type drinks, does anyone have some ideas for calorie dense snacks? I feel like I eat constantly, I love my food, but I need more calories and there's just not that many hours in the day to eat haha.

Thanks! Love these forums :) Abby

ByElizabeth M. Ward, MS, RD
WebMD Feature Reviewed byBrunilda Nazario, MD

Breakfast is key for your child. It refuels them, giving them energy for the day.

Weight control may also be easier for breakfast eaters, both as children and later, when they're adults.

Mornings are busy in most families, but you can still make breakfast happen.

17 Simple, Healthy Breakfasts

Breakfast, or any meal, doesn’t need to be elaborate to be satisfying and nutritious. A bowl of whole-grain cereal with milk and topped with fruit is a fine choice.

No healthy food is off-limits for the morning meal, even if you don't think of it as a traditional "breakfast food."

It only takes a few minutes to make these breakfasts:

Frozen whole-grain waffle sandwich with sunflower seed butter, peanut butter, or almond butter, California raisins, and low-fat yogurt Ice cream cone parfait: Layer low-fat lemon or vanilla yogurt with sliced fresh or previously frozen mango and crunchy whole-grain cereal. Hot cocoa (made with milk) or chocolate milk, slice of whole grain toast, fruit Breakfast berry parfait: Layer low-fat cottage cheese with whole grain cereal and fresh or frozen berries. Hard-cooked egg (make 6 or so on the weekend), fruit, and ½ whole-wheat English muffin with tub margarine Banana smoothie: Blend 1 cup low-fat milk with a medium banana and teaspoon vanilla extract in blender or food processor. Serve with half a whole-wheat English muffin. Slice of pizza, and orange juice with calcium and vitamin D Turkey or roast beef roll-up with cheese on a whole-wheat wrap Whole-grain crackers, string cheese, and dried figs Half of a sandwich, milk, and fruit Sliced cheddar cheese melted on top of whole-wheat tortilla, and low-sodium vegetable juice Whole-wheat graham crackers, hard-cooked egg, small banana Trail mix: whole-grain cereal, shelled pistachios or sunflower seeds, dried cranberries, and low-fat milk Mini pizza: Layer a small whole-wheat pita round with marinara sauce and grated reduced-fat cheddar cheese. Toast or broil. Whole-wheat bagel (mini for younger kids) spread with sunflower seed butter, almond butter, or peanut butter and drizzled with honey; orange juice with calcium and vitamin D Plain low-fat yogurt topped with chopped walnuts, California raisins, and molasses or honey Microwave plain, 1-minute, or instant oatmeal with low-fat milk. Top with 1/4 cup dried fruit and 2 tablespoons chopped almonds.

Choose Well

Keep convenience foods to a minimum because they are often loaded with added fat, sodium, and sugar.

"A little sweetness is a great way to work in good nutrition," says Sally Kuzemchak, RD, a nutrition consultant in Columbus, Ohio, and creator of the Real Mom Nutrition web site.

But don’t overdo it.

If your kids eat sugary cereals, wean them by mixing in cereals that are lower in sugar. Serve hot cereal, such as plain oatmeal, and add your own sugar or dried fruit to cut down on the sweet stuff, too.

Serve the most nutrient-rich foods possible, such as whole-grain breads and cereals; orange juice with added calcium and vitamin D; fortified eggs; and by preparing hot cereal with milk instead of water.

11 New Ideas for Heart-Smart Meals

ByErin O'Donnell
WebMD Feature Reviewed byLaura J. Martin, MD

To keep your ticker in top shape, make heart-savvy choices at every meal. That means keeping a few principles in mind:

Eat more plant-based foods. Reach for whole grains and veggies to boost your fiber. Dial back your salt intake. Go for “good” fats from nuts, olive oil, and fish. Limit saturated fats found in meat and dairy foods, and avoid trans fats from chips and other junk food. The good news: Heart-healthy eating can be surprisingly simple and scrumptious. Start with these 11 meal ideas – and get creative in your kitchen.

1. Blueberry Smoothie: A Satisfying Morning Sip

Vanilla nonfat Greek yogurt, 1 cup
Frozen blueberries
1 or 2 tablespoons of ground flaxseeds

Whir it all in a blender with a few drops of vanilla extract. Add a splash of apple juice if it’s too thick. Drink immediately.

Benefits: Flaxseeds are a top source of cholesterol-lowering soluble fiber. They also contain healthy omega-3 fats, which can lower your triglyceride levels. Plant chemicals in blueberries may help protect blood vessels against damage. And Greek yogurt contains more protein than other yogurt, which keeps you satisfied and less likely to overeat.

2. Muesli: A Better Bowl of Cereal

Old--fashioned rolled oats, ½ cup
Raisins or other dried fruit, ½ cup
Raw walnuts or almonds, ½ cup
1 apple, grated
Plain, low-fat yogurt, 3 cups

Combine ingredients. This makes enough for several servings, and tastes even better in a day or two, as liquid from the yogurt and apple softens the oats.

Benefits: Soluble fiber in the oats and apple help lower LDL or “bad” cholesterol, while the nuts contain heart-protective unsaturated fats.

3. Tomato-Poached Egg: A Savory Start

Tomato sauce, 1/2 cup
1 egg

Simmer the sauce in a small nonstick skillet, adding a sprinkle of your favorite seasonings, such as minced garlic, basil, or oregano. Crack the egg into the sauce, cover the pan, and cook until the egg white is no longer transparent. Serve over whole-wheat toast.

Benefits: Tomato sauce, garlic, and herbs all contain heart-protective antioxidants, while wholegrain toast provides beneficial fiber. Newman says research suggests that a “naked egg,” cooked without fat, is a heart-safe choice.

4. Humus: The Original Bean Dip

1 can chickpeas, drained
1 teaspoon of sesame tahini
Lemon juice
1 clove of garlic, minced
Olive oil

Combine ingredients in a blender. Process until smooth, adjusting proportions to taste. Add a little water to thin the dip. Season with salt and pepper. Serve ¼ cup of hummus with baby carrots.

Benefits: Chickpeas and carrots are loaded with cholesterol-busting soluble fiber. Garlic has anti-inflammatory properties and may slow blood clotting.

5. Black Bean Salsa Taco: Fast, Fresh Flavor

1 can black beans, rinsed and drained
1 fresh tomato, chopped
Frozen corn, 1 cup, thawed
Whole wheat tortillas, 1 per person or 15 corn tortilla chips per person
