If the fountain of youth truly exists, there’s absolutely no doubt that it contains testosterone. Largely responsible for increased muscle growth and libido as well as body composition, testosterone plays a huge role in both physical and emotional health in men.

Grilling can be a healthy, delicious way to cook. But it does have some risks. When you toss a steak on the BBQ, the surface of the meat can form something called heterocyclic amines, which are carcinogenic, according to the International Agency for Research on Cancer’s standards.

A simple way to stop HCAs in their tracks will also amplify flavor: add antioxidant-rich spices....

Now, an American College of Cardiology review published in JACC: Clinical Electrophysiology, suggests that you can drink up to three cups of coffee a day and still protect your heart—even for people with atrial or ventricular arrhythmias....

Agility ultimately sets apart the great athletes from the average ones. Watch Steph Curry or Devin Hester break ankles on their way to epic scores, and it’s obvious: They’re not the biggest guys in the game, but they move so fast and so fluidly that they’re almost impossible to defend. Agility is defined as an athlete’s ability to accelerate in a target direction as fast as possible, decelerate in that same direction, plant, and reposition body mass appropriately to effectively reaccelerate in a new direction—all within a matter of seconds....

There’s a reason the gin and tonic is a ubiquitous pairing: In the 19th century, when tonic was the preferred delivery device for antimalarial medicine, British officers in India discovered that a good dose of sugar, a squeeze of citrus, and some gin helped the bitter bubbly water go down easy. It was such a hit, in fact, that the concoction made its way around the world as something people drank for fun, not because their lives depended on it....
