Up Your Health Game

Nuts About You

Trail mix fans, rejoice. Research shows that including plenty of nuts in your diet can prevent unwanted weight gain and reduce your risk of becoming overweight or obese. And if that’s not enough, nuts are also great for your heart, thanks to their density of omega-3 fatty acids. [Swirled]

Allergies Shmallergies

Nettle tea could be the answer to your allergy woes. Drinking it can significantly help to reduce your hay fever symptoms and give you some much-needed nutrients including vitamin A, riboflavin, niacin and folate. Just check with your doctor first to make sure you don’t have a nettle allergy. [Swirled]

Out With The Old

Ever wonder if it’s safe to take expired meds? The answer is yes, but you might not like the results. According to health experts, taking expired medications likely won’t hurt you, but it won’t be as effective in treating your symptoms. [Shape]

Live Like A Boss

Facing Change

Facebook is changing its approach to your personal data in light of the Cambridge Analytica scraping controversy. First, the social platform will let you know if your data was used in the incident. Then, with new site improvements, Facebook will be more transparent about which apps can see your info and remove any that you haven’t used in months. [CNN Tech]

For Lease Navidad

Negotiating a discount on your rent is possible, if you do it right. The best approach: make a reasonable offer based on the real estate market in your city, offer to sign a longer lease if your landlord agrees to keep your rent stable and don’t be afraid to ask for a loyalty reward. [HuffPost]

Supermarket Sweep

Move over Amazon Fresh, Walmart’s new same-day grocery service could potentially save you even more money. The best part? Unlike other grocery subscription services, there’s no annual fee and each delivery costs just $9.95 (with a $30 minimum). And Target’s getting in on the game too. [CNBC Make It]

Savor Each Bite

Wanna Pizza This?

Ready for a different kind of happy hour? Say heyyy to vodka-infused pizza, a new treat cooked up by the team at the Philly outpost of Scarpetta. We’re talking vodka-infused mozzarella cheese, a vodka blush sauce and sun-dried tomatoes. If you order this booze-spiked pizza during happy hour, it’ll run you $6. Any other time, it costs $10.

Ice Scream, You Scream

An ice cream that cures hangovers sounds too good to be true, but a Korean ice cream brand promises to do just that. Enter the Gyeondyo-bar, a popsicle-style ice cream with an icy center. It’s .7 percent Japanese raisin tree fruit juice, which is considered a natural hangover remedy in Asian countries. Maybe that morning after doesn’t have to be so bad after all. [Swirled]

Recipe Of The Day

Soup season isn’t over just yet and this delish Greek lemon chicken soup is the perfect comfort food for chilly weather. Plus, it’s ready in just thirty minutes. [A Spicy Perspective]

Pack Your Bags

1, 2, 3 Jump!

As if bungee jumping wasn’t extreme enough, you can ski, snowboard or bike off a massive bungee jump in St-Jean-de-Sixt, France. After your leap, you land on a 90-foot trampoline. You can go solo or in tandem — whatever your style. Get ready to catch some serious air. [Swirled]

Falling For You

Dreaming of a thrilling adventure? Beaver Falls is the waterfall paradise for you. You get there through Grand Canyon National Park in an adventure that includes hours on a desert trail, steep canyon switchbacks, wooden ladders and rickety bridges. You’ll also get a chance to do some serious rock climbing. It’s quite the experience. [Swirled]

Deal Of The Day

It’s time to hit up Thailand. You can fly roundtrip from LA to Bangkok for just $514. Pack your bags, friend! [Thrifty Traveler]
