Start With Chicken Stock Ali Slagle, recipe developer and author of I Dream of Dinner, recommends cooking chicken in chicken stock to jumpstart the process of making a rich, chicken-y base. Find a store-bought chicken stock that you like (Slagle prefers Swanson), and use that instead of—or in addition to—water when cooking your chicken to amp up the broth’s flavor. “This is especially worthwhile if you’re making soup with boneless, skinless chicken, since the bones and skin contribute so much of the soup’s flavor,” Slagle notes....

The Scientific Reason You Hate Cilantro A study from researchers at Cornell University sought to answer the pressing question of why some people like cilantro and some people don’t. They surveyed 30,000 people and used the results to look for common genetic traits. Their finding: A specific gene—OR6A2—may determine your relationship with cilantro. This receptor gene is responsible for coding messages from aldehyde chemicals, which are also found in soap and some bugs....

But from now on, I might have to keep two bottles on hand at all times. I had a chance to spend time in the kitchen with Italian winemaker Giovanni Bonmartini Fini, whose vineyard, Barone Fini, produces pinot grigio with the DOC certification (meaning it’s produced in the traditional geographic region and according to exacting Italian standards). Bonmartini used his pinot grigio in recipes I’d never thought to add wine to, including pasta carbonara so yummy I broke my no-meat rule to take a bite (ok, two)!...

For starters, walking is a low-impact activity, which means it will create less stress and strain on your joints, says Samantha Parker, MS, a certified yoga therapist and kinesiophobia and cognitive movement specialist in Washington, D.C. In terms of health, walking can help you lose weight and prevent a wide array of chronic issues, including heart disease, stroke, type 2 diabetes, and certain types of cancers, Friberg says. It can also improve your mood—especially if you walk outside—and decrease symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress....

But that doesn’t mean you have to stick with staycations to do your part to protect the planet. There are plenty of ways to travel lighter on the planet—and many of them can make your trip less expensive and far richer in experiences. “There’s an old saying, ’take only photographs, leave only footprints,’ that still applies,” says travel expert Wendy Perrin. “When we are traveling in a sensitive place, we need to do the same things that you would do in our home to preserve what you have....

But sleep isn’t just a cozy reward after a long day—and it’s certainly not a sign of laziness or weakness. Sufficient sleep—which for adults is defined as getting at least seven hours per night by the CDC—is an absolutely vital driver of every physiological system in the human body. When we’re sleep deprived—which more than one third of adults are—our health and wellbeing can suffer in myriad ways: mental, physical, and emotional....

It’s made of shredded memory foam and encased in a micro-vented bamboo cover that helps air flow through the pillow—the secret behind keeping you cool.

The goal of the Honeywell HT-900 TurboForce Air Circulator Fan, which has more than 56,000 five-star ratings, is to keep air moving quickly. So it makes sense it was designed with three speeds and the ability to rotate up to 90 degrees. If optimum coolness is your goal, plan to set the fan on the highest speed. Otherwise, you can choose from the slowest or medium speeds to create airflow and even white noise....

With more than 4,000 five-star reviews from shoppers who claim the mask is lightweight, easy to breathe in, well-fitting, and resistant to glasses fog, I was intrigued but skeptical. I’d been burned by supposedly breathable masks before, leading to uncomfortable outdoor workouts I had to cut short. Some masks were too big and fell down my face, while others were so lightweight that they stuck to my nose and mouth so much that I couldn’t breathe properly unless I walked at an easy pace....
