10 Foods for Thyroid Health—And 3 To Avoid

The National Institutes of Health (NIH) notes that iodine is vital for proper thyroid function, preventing conditions like hypothyroidism and goiter.

Although most Americans get enough iodine from iodized salt, those on low-sodium or vegan diets may need to find alternative sources.

Seaweed is a rich source of iodine, but its content varies significantly across different types.

The NIH states that iodine levels in commercial seaweeds can range from 16 mcg/g to 2,984 mcg/g, with the recommended dietary allowance being 150 mcg for most adults.

Mall Culture Is Back!

Spring 2024 runways showcased a revival of early to mid-2000s fashion, characterized by polos with popped collars, leggings, and belts featured in designs from Miu Miu to Ralph Lauren.

This trend reflects the distinct mall culture of the era, reminiscent of brands like Hollister, Abercrombie, and American Eagle.

Unlike the blingy, bright Y2K styles, this comeback is more down-to-earth, featuring real-world, less glamorous fashion.

The resurgence is evident beyond runways, with brands like Banana Republic regaining popularity, celebrities sporting vintage pieces, and collaborations highlighting the era's style, such as the Met with PacSun and Balenciaga's fall 2024 collection paying homage to mid-2000s L.A. mall culture.

The Exact Time of Day To Eat Breakfast if You Want To Lower Your Blood Pressure

Recent scientific research published in the journal Nutrients suggests that the timing of meals does impact health, particularly in the context of time-restricted eating or intermittent fasting.

The researchers analyzed various studies to determine the connection between intermittent fasting and health outcomes, focusing on the effects of different eating windows.

They discovered that individuals who ate earlier in the day—specifically, having breakfast before 11 a.m. and ceasing to eat earlier in the evening—experienced lower blood pressure and greater weight loss.
