Eating fried potatoes just two to three times per week is linked to an elevated risk of death, according to a study published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition....

If tofu isn’t your thing, you can substitute chicken, and marinate and cook it in advance.

If you’re worried about the sodium, choose low-sodium versions of broth and beans. If you can’t find a low-sodium version of the beans, rinsing them can reduce the sodium by 40%.

When ramping up your running regimen with some tough speed work, it can be tempting to stand still or jog slowly with sloppy form between intervals. To get the most benefit from those sprints, however, you need to go after the easy sections of a run with just as much care. “Research clearly shows that an active recovery is better,” says Bobby McGee, a former Olympic coach and author of Magical Running....
Winning the Super Bowl isn’t just about being the best team in the league—or for a player like Tom Brady, the best quarterback of all time—it’s about hometown pride. And if there’s one thing that New England Patriots and Philadelphia Eagles fans both have, it’s a deep-rooted love for their respective cities. So it should come as no surprise that Boston-based breweries Samuel Adams and Jack’s Abby are wagering against their lager-loving neighbors near Philly—Yuengling and Victory Brewing Company—in a friendly Super Bowl bet....
Sports stars and athletes are always looking for a leg up on the competition. Whether it’s putting extra time in the gym, eating the right nutritional products, or trying out training routines, athletes will try almost anything to improve their talents. But sometimes they can take it too far. Performance-enhancing drugs have been around forever—caffeine is nothing new, after all. But ever since the rise of anabolic steroids, the modern international sports arena has become something of an arms race, as athletes vie to get a competitive edge before regulators can catch them in the act....
Until scientists get off their lazy asses and retro fit some DeLoreans, vintage spirits are one of the few ways we’re able to time travel. And if you’re willing to drop the dough, you can get back as far as 1971 this fall. The Last Drop Distillers has released a new blended scotch distilled in 1971. At that time Nixon was president. It’s the same year Led Zeppelin released Led Zeppelin IV, the same year that Jim Morrison passed away, and the same year Disney World opened....

Instead, it’s best to set a solid foundation by mastering the basics. This helpful tutorial video does just that by teaching paddlers about the proper footwork necessary for completing basic turns.

With a name like Geostorm, you probably already know what kind of movie to expect from Gerard Butler’s latest movie. And the trailer delivers. Butler stars as Jake Lawson, the climate chief of the International Space Station in the near future, when satellites control the Earth’s weather to prevent natural disasters. However, an usual malfuction eventually snowballs into pure chaos as the satellites cause catastophic weather across the globe. Jake teams up with his younger brother Max (Jim Sturgess) to put an end to the disasters before it’s too late....
How does Mark Wahlberg—actor, producer, athlete, businessman, father—get it all done? For starters, he wakes up earlier than you do. The 15-Minute Fat Burning Workout for Busy Guys Read article Time Management Nothing impedes on family time, so I sacrifice my mornings.

Trying to get in shape is a real difficult proposition. There is a reason that it is called working out. It is basically a full-time job. But there is a bigger problem to overcome than simply dedicating enough time to get the work in. Possibly the biggest issue for everybody is the mental blocks in place. Getting into the right frame of mind to rid oneself of bad habits and then get on the right track to getting healthy....
EDITOR’S NOTE: Spoilers ahead for Breaking Bad and El Camino: A Breaking Bad Movie. When Breaking Bad co-creator Vince Gilligan first came to Bryan Cranston about appearing in El Camino: A Breaking Bad Movie with Aaron Paul, the first thing the actor said was: “Wait, but I’m dead?” Despite the definitive ending for Walter White in the series Breaking Bad, Gilligan came up with a way to use the character in the new movie—and Cranston was totally on board....

Daniel Craig is back as James Bond—officially. After weeks of rumors and speculation, Daniel Craig revealed on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert that he would be returning to the role. Craig has played Bond in four films and he said that he “couldn’t be happier” about it. “I’ve been quite cagey about it,” said Craig to Colbert. “But I kind of felt like, if I was going to speak the truth, I should speak the truth to you....
Everyone knows by now that cigarettes are bad. The pros and cons of e-cigarette use, however, are still up for debate. Some studies have suggested that e-cigarettes are a better alternative to cigarettes, while other studies have indicated that they’re just as harmful to your health. And while some studies have found that vaping isn’t an effective way for smokers to quit, others have found just the opposite. A recent study done at the Medical University of South Carolina suggests the latter....
The revolving doors continue to spin at the World Surf League. Tuesday morning, the WSL sent out a press release announcing that Sophie Goldschmidt “will be stepping down from her post” as Cheif Executive Officer and that President of Content, Media and Studios Erik “E-Lo” Logan will be filling her shoes. In two very unsurprisingly vague statements from both Dirk Ziff and Goldschmidt herself, it remains unclear as to why exactly Goldschmidt will be removing herself from the helm of the company, other than the decision was “mutually agreed” upon....
Just to set the record straight, I come from a long tradition that goes back to wafer-thin Ensolite pads that were a vague illusion of comfort back in the days of backpacking yore. Lightweight, inflated pads were an unbelievable breakthrough in my camping evolution that actually allowed for comfortable nights out and warm insulation from the cold ground. Now that I’m of an age to consider when I should start drawing Social Security, and, frankly, an age when my aching shoulders keep me up at night, I’m only feeling slightly guilty about pursuing some pretty deluxe cushion when it comes to bedding down in the backcountry....

Plenty of earbuds are just getting the job done....
