CNET The microwave isn't exactly my go-to kitchen hero. It's more like that unreliable sidekick who occasionally pulls through in a pinch. Still, it has its moments -- especially when it's the only appliance around or I'm racing against the clock and my hunger is threatening to stage a coup. In those times, I'll toss in leftover rice, pasta and -- when I'm feeling particularly wild -- even meat, then offer a small prayer to the microwave gods that the food doesn't come out drier than my sense

As a wellness writer and self-proclaimed amateur birder, I appreciate the health benefits of listening to and watching birds. Studies show that hearing birdsong can enhance our mental health, reducing symptoms of anxiety and depression and lowering stress levels. Until recently, I lived in an apartment in the heart of a city, which meant I had to actively seek nature and the advantages of being surrounded by our avian friends. I now live in a house with a backyard and mature trees, where birds

Eat food. Not too much. Mostly plants. That, more or less, is the short answer to the supposedly incredibly complicated and confusing question of what we humans should eat in order to be maximally healthy. I hate to give away the game right here at the beginning of a long essay, and I confess that I’m tempted to complicate matters in the interest of keeping things going for a few thousand more words. I’ll try to resist but will go ahead and add a couple more details to flesh out the advice. Lik

2025 I have a confession: while I love cooking, I hate prepping ingredients. I know, knife skills are an important thing for any home chef to possess, and I do work on it. But the truth is I’m slow, my cuts aren’t super consistent, and I find it really tedious. In short, food processors are made for people like me, but while I’ve used them at my mom’s and other people’s places, I’ve never owned one myself, largely because I didn’t think I could find a place for it in my small kitchen.

Microplastics have just been found to be in our chewing gum. Researchers at UCLA discovered that microplastics are released directly into our mouths every time we chew gum. In a new study published in Chemistry for Life, scientists tested 10 different chewing gum brands and found microplastics in each one. Both natural and synthetic varieties were shown to shed microscopic plastic particles during chewing. On average, each gram of gum releases around 100 microplastics, with some pieces spiking a
