(Don’t) Phone Home
A new pair of studies discovered “clear evidence” that the type of radiation emitted by cell phones can lead to heart cancer (and possibly brain cancer) in rats. The human risks are still TBD, but we suggest being careful about your cell phone use anyway and using headphones when making calls. Better safe than sorry, friends. [Swirled]
Time To Go Nuts
Dealing with a magnesium deficiency is no joke — it can seriously affect your muscle function and your ability to get a decent night’s sleep. However, eating a diet rich in almonds, cashews and spinach can help you get your magnesium levels to where they need to be. [Swirled]
Decaf or DGAF?
We love coffee as much as the next person, but your caffeine habit could be the reason you feel tired all the time. While the stimulant is great for a short-term boost of energy, experts say that it can actually deplete your energy in the long term and lead to adrenal fatigue. Time to switch to decaf!

Live Like A Boss
Show Me The Money!
Having multiple job offers is the best problem to have, and knowing what to look for can help you pick the right one. Read the fine print in the contracts, get to know your potential bosses and weigh the perks (like extra PTO). Most important of all, trust your gut — it can tell you everything you need to know.

You Can’t Handle The Tooth
Awkward alert! Telling your boss she has something in her teeth might feel super awkward, but it’s the right thing to do. The best way to approach it: Be discreet, be kind and keep it simple. Starting with, “I’d want someone to tell me…” will help her feel at ease and keep the awkwardness to a minimum. [Moneyish]
