Milk Could Be a More Effective Hydration Source Than Water

A TODAY health expert says milk (skim or whole) can outperform water in hydrating the body because its natural electrolytes, plus fat and protein, help retain fluids longer. Small studies suggest milk may keep people hydrated longer than water. For extra hydration, options include milk, water paired with a salty snack, coconut water, or a DIY electrolyte drink; people who sweat heavily, are ill, or take certain medications may benefit from electrolytes, though most can stay hydrated with regular water and meals.

Psyllium, collagen, and creatine rise above the rest: a dietitian weighs supplements

Dietitian Josie Porter reviews ten popular supplements, concluding that multivitamins rarely help, magnesium mainly benefits those with low intake, and electrolyte powders are largely unnecessary; however, psyllium husk can aid constipation/diarrhea, collagen may modestly improve skin elasticity (mostly in women in their 40s–50s), and creatine can help if dietary intake is insufficient. She also notes UK recommendations of about 10 micrograms of vitamin D daily from October to March due to low winter sunlight.

GLP-1 weight-loss gains may fade after stopping, experts urge lasting habits

Experts say GLP-1 weight-loss drugs can help, but weight is often regained after stopping. Long-term success depends on building sustainable eating and exercise habits with a dietitian, rather than relying solely on medication. Side effects like slowed digestion and nausea may occur, so ongoing medical guidance is important.

Gelatin pre-meal trick isn’t Ozempic, dietitians say

A viral pre-meal mix of warm water and unflavored gelatin may briefly increase fullness and help with portion control by expanding in the stomach and triggering a gut hormone, but it is not a substitute for prescription GLP-1 drugs like Ozempic/Wegovy. Treat it as a low-cost pre-meal appetite aid, not a meal replacement, and be aware of nutritional risks (gelatin is not a complete protein and can create amino acid gaps if relied on long term). For healthy adults, the suggested approach is 1 tablespoon gelatin in hot water, then diluted with room-temperature water or tea, 15–30 minutes before one daily meal, and consult a physician if pregnant, breastfeeding, kidney disease, or allergies.

Three Evidence-Backed Supplements a Dietitian Actually Uses

Dietitian Josie Porter warns most supplements lack solid evidence and FDA oversight, so she uses only three evidence-backed ones: vitamin D in darker months, omega-3s when she hasn’t eaten oily fish, and collagen for tendon healing and skin health; she emphasizes choosing third-party-tested products and notes that whole foods often beat supplements for omega-3 benefits.

10 Dietitian-Approved Frozen Meals for Easy, Balanced Dinners

Nutritionist Lyndsay Hall of JM Nutrition explains how to pick healthier frozen dinners by prioritizing meals with low sodium (ideally around 600 mg per serving, up to 800 mg), a balanced protein-to-carb ratio (roughly 15–20 g protein and under 50–60 g carbs), and mindful fats and sugars. She then highlights 10 dietitian-approved options from Farm Boy, President's Choice, and M&M Food Market, noting their calories, protein, fats and sodium.
