America’s new 𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐚𝐥 𝐡𝐞𝐚𝐥𝐭𝐡 𝐞𝐦𝐞𝐫𝐠𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐲 𝐡𝐨𝐭𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐞, 988, is just weeks away from launching across the United States.

Starting July 16, people in the United States can call or text this universal three-digit number to connect with the National Su***de and Crisis Lifeline — which is funded by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA).

Once launched, 988 will become an easier-to-remember way to access the National Su***de Prevention Lifeline; but the old number — 800-273-TALK (8255) — will still be in service and will direct callers to the Lifeline’s call center, too.

Is this a made-up holiday? Maybe. But are we going to welcome the chance to ensure our hydration levels are up to par? You bet.

Different from World Water Day (which raises awareness about the global water crisis), National Hydration Day is all about, well, hydration—namely, 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗶𝗺𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝗴𝗲𝘁𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗲𝗻𝗼𝘂𝗴𝗵 𝗳𝗹𝘂𝗶𝗱𝘀 𝗮𝘀 𝘄𝗲 𝗲𝗺𝗯𝗮𝗿𝗸 𝗼𝗻 𝗮𝗻𝗼𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿 𝘀𝗰𝗼𝗿𝗰𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘀𝘂𝗺𝗺𝗲𝗿.

Considering optimal hydration helps support nearly every bodily function—including immune support, temperature regulation, and natural detoxification through the lymphatic system (aka healthy pee)—we could all use the friendly reminder.

Here are the best 𝙩𝙝𝙞𝙧𝙨𝙩-𝙦𝙪𝙚𝙣𝙘𝙝𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙩𝙞𝙥𝙨 from top doctors and experts.

If you want to eat for long-term health, lowering inflammation can be majorly beneficial.

Inflammation in the body can cause or contribute to many debilitating, chronic illnesses—including osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, heart disease, Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, and even cancer.

However, research finds that eating an anti-inflammatory diet may help protect against certain diseases, but could also help slow the aging process by stabilizing blood sugar and increasing metabolism.

The appeal of artificial sweeteners is obvious: enjoy all the sweet taste without any of the calories.

What many people may not know is that these sweet substitutes may skew your taste buds’ perception of what is sweet. The result is that your internal scale of what is sweet is skewed making you want to eat more sugar than you would otherwise, leading to the very weight gain you were likely trying to avoid by choosing artificial sweeteners.

Additionally, there is still much debate on what damage these artificial sweeteners may do to our health long term. Your best bet is to cut them out and let your taste buds readjust.

It's well-known that certain nutrients help support cognitive health and brain longevity (hello, omega-3 fatty acids and polyphenol-rich berries!), but it turns out our diet has even more of an impact on the brain than we had realized.

According to a recently published investigation of the Framingham Heart Study Offspring Cohort, a pro-inflammatory diet can result in smaller brain volume. This makes a case that anti-inflammatory foods also have a positive impact on brain volume. http://ow.ly/urGu50JyZrC

The consensus among scientists is that we are in an era of global heating and extreme weather events, primarily due to the devastating effects of human action on the environment. Why are researchers concerned, and what are the implications for health?

Anxiety disorders are among the most common mental health conditions worldwide. While they tend to affect women more than men, men are still widely affected. Due to differing social and biological factors, men’s experiences of anxiety, from coping styles to treatment-seeking behaviors, differ from those of women.

Yoga is one of the best tools available for stress management. That’s because it is a multifaceted practice that taps into the mind, body, emotions, and spirit, so it can help reduce stress on all levels.

While you will likely feel the effects of stress mostly in the physical body, if you look closely you will probably find some non-physical symptoms as well. For example, you may have difficulty concentrating, your mind may race with thoughts, or you may find it difficult to take care of yourself.

Yoga can help with all of this.
