And we’re sharing a day-of…

If you’re like the average American, you’re not getting enough fiber. According to the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), most Americans consume 16 grams of fiber per day—well below the recommended 25 to 38 grams. Fortunately, some of the best sources of this important nutrient can be found in fresh late-summer produce. If you live with diabetes or prediabetes (more than 130 million Americans do!), fiber should be your new best friend: It can help mitigate blood sugar peaks. Fiber is a type of carbohydrate, yes, but it’s not digestible. So, it doesn’t affect blood sugar, which is great for people with diabetes. A 2018 meta-analysis of 45 studies published in The Journal of Nutrition concluded that high-fiber diets (defined as at least 25 grams of fiber per…

Sweet, refreshing summer melons emerge from their leafy patches as early as May (depending on the region), but the growing season lasts through early fall. It takes time—three to four months—for melons to develop from seed to flower to fruit. Long bouts of sunshine will contribute to melons’ pronounced sweetness, and lots of water over hot summer months (up to the last few weeks of ripening) impacts their size and the juiciness of their flesh. Melons grow in hot climates around the globe, and close to home, too. In the United States, 80 percent of melons come from California, Florida, Georgia, and Texas, with imports largely coming in from Mexico. Internationally, China, Turkey, Iran, and India are the world’s top melon growers. Choose your fruits wisely: Melons don’t continue to ripen…

Today, most people worldwide can expect to live into their 60s, potentially longer, according to the World Health Organization. The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says, in the United States, the average life span is 77 years. But as we age, other health conditions surface, and we need certain nutrients to support our aging bodies. “Aging, in the most basic sense, is an accumulation of damage to the cells and molecules in our body,” says Starr Steinhilber, MD, MPH, an internist and assistant professor of medicine at the University of Alabama at Birmingham. “This leads to aging we can see with our eyes, such as skin sagging, as well as age-related damage to what we can’t see, such as hearts not pumping as well or blood vessels leaking.”…

My wife, Maryyann, and I adopted Naibang from Maryyann’s family in Georgia. Pronounced “nye-bahng,” his name is a romanization of the Chinese characters for milk stick or milk bar (due to his white fur). He grew up as an outdoor cat on Maryyann’s family’s farm, playing with the chickens in the day and hunting in the evenings. During the pandemic, we drove him all the way across the country from Georgia to where we live in California. A rowdy cat, Naibang loves sprinting around the house at top speed and crashing into everything in his path. Because he’s used to the outdoors, he enjoys taking walks around the neighborhood and going on hikes. He’s crossed paths with many dogs but, sadly, hasn’t been able to make friends with any of…
