Tiny 30-Second Habits to Boost Your Mood

A BBC health feature highlights 'micropractices'—30-second mood boosters like laughter yoga, mindful stretching, slow breathing, self-soothing touch and mindful living—that can lift mood, reduce stress and boost energy. Evidence suggests non-humorous laughter can cut depression and anxiety, mindful stretching every 15 minutes can raise productivity by about 15%, slow breaths calm the nervous system, and brief self-compassionate touch lowers cortisol; try the ones that fit your routine and build from there.

Daily Golf-Ball Roll Eases Plantar Fasciitis, Podiatrist Says

A podiatrist recommends a simple, at-home fix for plantar fasciitis: roll a golf ball under the foot’s arch while seated, moving from heel to ball of the foot with steady pressure for a few minutes daily. The massage loosens the plantar fascia and reduces pain, and results improve when paired with calf stretches, supportive footwear, and a gradual increase in activity. Do it first thing in the morning or during the day; if pain persists, consult a doctor to prevent complications.

Finch Review: A Cute Self-Care Game That Leaves You Burned Out

Slate tests Finch, a gamified self-care app that hatches a virtual bird and pays real-life tasks with coins; while it can curb doomscrolling for some users and make self-care feel doable, the constant notifications, in-app shopping, and Premium upsell create a cycle of screen-time and dependence, leading the author to delete the app but ultimately sparking a more mindful, less screen-dependent approach to well-being.

Diarrhea Demystified: Hydration, Cautions, and Care During a Cyclosporiasis Spike

Diarrhea Demystified: Hydration, Cautions, and Care During a Cyclosporiasis Spike

US diarrhea cases are rising due to various causes, with about 17,000 cyclosporiasis infections linked to produce. Most diarrhea resolves in 3–4 days, but seek care if it lasts a week or more, or is accompanied by fever, blood or mucus in stool, severe abdominal pain, vomiting, or signs of dehydration (low urine output, dizziness). Prioritize fluids and oral rehydration solutions to restore electrolytes; progressively reintroduce bland foods while avoiding fatty/spicy/high-fiber items and dairy if lactose-intolerant. For symptoms, bismuth subsalicylate and, under certain conditions, loperamide can help. Protect your skin with gentle cleansing and barrier creams; avoid probiotics. To prevent spread, wash hands thoroughly and stay home until symptoms resolve; seniors and people with kidney disease or weakened immunity should seek care earlier, and doctors may order tests for infections like cyclosporiasis based on risk.

Dolly Parton’s health update spotlights a nationwide caregiver crisis

Dolly Parton’s health update highlights a broader problem: millions of American caregivers neglect their own health while caring for others. The piece cites data showing about 23% of caregivers struggle to pay attention to their health, with higher rates among women, LGBTQ+, Latino and lower-income caregivers, and describes how practical burdens—time, money, scheduling medical visits—fuel burnout, emotional strain, loneliness, and self-neglect. Experts say the healthcare system should routinely screen caregivers and provide support such as respite care, in-home care, and palliative services to help caregivers maintain their health while they care for others.

Earwax Reality Check: Let Your Ears Clean Themselves, Then Clean the Outside

Earwax Reality Check: Let Your Ears Clean Themselves, Then Clean the Outside

Experts emphasize that earwax protects and lubricates the ear and that most people don’t need to clean the inner ear. Cleaning can push wax deeper, irritate the canal, or cause infections, so avoid cotton swabs and ear candles. If you must clean, focus on the outside with a washcloth or wet finger, and use products like Debrox or hydrogen peroxide only per directions. For persistent buildup or sudden hearing changes, seek medical help; professionals may remove wax via suction or instruments and check for other issues, since perforating the eardrum is dangerous.

Masturbation Isn’t a Luxury: Reframing Self-Care After Purity Culture

A reader asks why daily masturbation makes her feel guilty, but Slate’s How to Do It column, with sex educator Erica Smith, reassures that pleasure isn’t a luxury or something you must ‘earn.’ There’s no required frequency—enjoy yourself when you want to, whether that’s daily, weekly, or somewhere in between, and expect desire to wax and wane with hormones and life pressures. The piece also suggests tuning into small everyday pleasures, considering budget constraints (use what you already have before buying new devices), and embracing the idea that sexual pleasure is a natural, entitlement-based part of being alive.
