Let's talk intermittent fasting.

There's no denying probiotics are big business — and it's not just the dietary supplement industry, valued at $12 billion. Other sectors are getting into the game too, claiming their skincare, household cleaners and mattresses contain probiotics. Why? Probiotics are alleged to provide gastrointestinal, mental, heart, vaginal and bone and joint health benefits as well as help manage weight and blood glucose levels. Is all that really possible? For what conditions do they work? And with probiotics seemingly everywhere now, how can you choose the right one? In this On Health podcast episode, we share how you can evaluate probiotic claims to find a product for your desired benefit.

Weightlifting has been around for ages, but it's never been more popular than now, thanks in part to new research on its health benefits. The classic form of strength training — one of the cornerstones of the CDC's exercise recommendations — weightlifting is linked to better bone strength, balance, metabolism, fat burning and cardiovascular health. Plus, it may help reduce cancer risk and even extend lifespans. But how much do you really know about it? Are you ready to start lifting? Are you getting the most out of your sessions? In On Health this episode, we provide the lowdown on everything you need to know about what some experts call the fountain of youth.
