If you have recently dealt with a traumatic event, you might be worried that you're going to feel lousy indefinitely.

​This article discusses how to heal from trauma. First, we'll first look at exactly what trauma is so you can be clear that it's what you're experiencing, then we'll share various steps you can take and tips you can try.

Superfoods have a lot of hype around them, but they happen to be some of the healthiest foods to eat every day. While there's no real, quantifiable definition for superfoods, at EatingWell we think of them as multitasking foods brimming with disease-fighting nutrients that are delivered in a delicious form (think: antioxidant-packed blueberries).

But some super-healthy foods are a little too expensive or hard to find to fit into our everyday diets (ahem, goji berry) or something you'd likely only have once in a while (sardines, we're looking at you). We're all for trying new foods—and variety is important for a healthy diet—but we wanted to find superfoods that will be easiest to incorporate into your diet. After all, it doesn't matter how healthy a food is if you're not eating it.

The healthiest foods and diets out there focus on real, whole foods: lots of vegetables and fruits, whole grains, healthy proteins and fats, and limited added sugar and sodium. While there are plenty of other good-for-you foods that didn't make this particular list
—like lentils, bananas and beets—it's a great place to start if you're looking to add more healthy foods to your diet.

So, here is a list of 10 easy-to-eat, easy-to-find, everyday superfoods that make eating healthy simple and delicious.

Several years ago career advisor Laura Yamin, MA, noticed that she was experiencing way too many burnouts. She realized that she needed to stop focusing on urgent requests, which masqueraded as important things. Instead, she refocused on exploring the type of life she’d like to live.

This helped her figure out what’s truly important to her. From there she was able to distinguish her priorities — the tasks, experiences and actions that fulfill her personal values.

​Many of us feel like we’re being pulled by pressing things, while our real priorities get neglected.

I want to open this post with a moment of real honesty…
There have been several times in my adulthood that I’ve felt like I’ve lost control of my life.
My sleeping schedule was erratic, my house was a mess, and my “health routine” left me feeling blahhhhhh.
It was really beyond the “I’m in college and still trying to figure out my life” stage of things. Yeah, this was full blown, “I’m a married woman who can’t seem to get a handle on… well, anything and I don’t know why.”
I think that was the worst part. The first time it happened, I didn’t know why or where to start or how to get my life in order.

Oral hygiene is the practice of keeping your teeth free from decay and your other mouth structures free from infection. This includes regular brushing and flossing. Dr. Z also highly recommends dental exams and cleaning at least twice a year to ensure good oral hygiene.

Oral hygiene is vital to an individual’s overall health and well-being. Studies have shown that untreated oral diseases may increase the risk of adverse health conditions. Thus, maintaining good oral hygiene is important in improving your oral health and overall well-being.

Weight loss is a journey that can sometimes be frustrating. One day you are trying a new workout and replaying motivational quotes in your head on repeat, the next day you find yourself feeling as if all of your efforts are all for naught when you step onto the scale and see the same number again. Hitting a weight-loss plateau can be seriously demoralizing.
TBH, your body does not really want you to lose weight—when you cut back on calories, it thinks you are starving. “Your body will then make you feel hungry because it thinks something is wrong and wants you to gain that weight back,” says Peter LePort, MD, a bariatric surgeon and the medical director of MemorialCare Surgical Weight Loss Center at Orange Coast Medical Center in Fountain Valley, California. Also, when you start losing weight (muscle or fat), your metabolic rate slows down, which means your body starts burning calories at a slower rate.
Other common culprits behind a weight-loss plateau may be gut imbalances, hormonal imbalances, immune dysregulation, inflammation, nutritional deficiencies, or under-recovery, says Chicago-based dietitian Chelsea Stegman, RD, LD, CPT.

Your bones are living tissues that are constantly breaking down and rebuilding. And diseases that change bone architecture, such as osteoporosis, spell trouble.

“Osteoporosis happens because the cells that break down bone are more active than those that are in charge of building bone, putting you at risk for fracture” explains orthopedic physical therapist Jennifer Danzo. “Osteoporosis is a major health concern. Half of all women and one-quarter of all men over age 50 will have a fracture caused by osteoporosis in their lifetime.”

​Fortunately, exercise done properly can help to rebuild bone and reduce the likelihood of fracture, says Danzo. Here are her recommendations if you have osteoporosis and haven’t had a bone fracture.
