With a metal tool like the one a dentist might wield, Dave Malone reaches into a small glass beaker and plucks out a tiny scoop of what looks like pine sap.

After the International House of Pancakes had a small identity crisis this past summer to promote their burgers, we thought the beloved chain would go back to their mainstay: breakfast. And they did—but not without throwing another curveball at us. IHOP’s partnered with New York brewery Keegan Ales to create IHOPS—a Pumpkin Pancake Stout inspired, obviously, by their fall pumpkin pancakes. This isn’t just any old pumpkin beer, either. According to their press release, IHOPS will be blending their signature buttermilk pancake mix and ingredients from their fall menu into the Keegan Ales stout....

Getting the recommended amount of either 150 minutes of moderate exercise or 75 minutes of vigorous exercise each week has been linked to preventing stroke and heart disease, along with lowering blood pressure and cholesterol. And hitting the gym more often can increase the chance of getting all swole, and lower your risk of being a weakling. But a single bout of physical activity (or acute exercise), a recent meta-analysis that appeared in the journal Brain Plasticity found, can offer a large array of positive changes in the brain....

Ordering a Guinness in a martini glass will exasperate your bartender and garner some serious side-eye from the regulars, no doubt. But a mathematician is arguing that an oversized version of the glass this could be the best vessel to serve the creamy stout in: It allows the bubbles to settle faster, according to research published in the American Journal of Physics. Is Guinness Good for You? Read article William Lee, a professor of industrial mathematics at the University of Huddersfield in England, is a beer connoisseur in his own right....

Michael Strahan, Super Bowl champ and host of ABC’s GMA Day, discusses the trial and error that motivated him to meet his full potential. In order to view the video, please allow Manage Cookies I remember after the Giants lost the Super Bowl to the Ravens, in 2001, sitting in the locker room and feeling like I couldn’t even face my family because I was such a failure.

As a former competitive swimmer and current swim coach, I know firsthand how quickly—and severely—a bad pair of goggles can derail an otherwise good swim. Not enough suction? You’ll be stopping at every wall to empty chlorine from your eye sockets. Straps too tight? Instant headache. Flimsy design? They could fall off your face altogether. The 5 Best Swimming Drills to Get Jacked in the Pool Read article A solid pair of goggles, on the other hand, can transform an otherwise good swim into a great swim by providing the right balance of security and comfort that makes you forget they’re even there....

The 92nd Academy Awards made history. Parasite became the first-ever foreign language film to win Best Picture, Bong Joon-ho took home Best Director, while longtime Hollywood stars like Brad Pitt, Laura Dern, and Joaquin Phoenix all won their first acting Oscars. The war drama 1917 came in as the favorite for Best Picture, but it ended up winning just three awards and none of the major ones; while The Irishman went home empty handed despite having 10 nominations....

Ask any endurance athlete his beef with sports nutrition products and he’ll tell you they tend to be sickly sweet. Citrusy drinks, chocolate goo, and fruity beans are tolerable for the first dozen miles but can turn revolting in the final stretch—just when you need energy to power through the finish line. For your next race or intense training session, try an ancient fueling method: pickles. Legend has it that Julius Caesar fed them to his troops for increased strength and determination, and modern medicine affirms that pickles’ sodium acts to replenish the electrolytes lost through sweat during vigorous exercise, says Sarah Koszyk, R....

There’s nothing quite as exhilarating as the boiling maelstrom of towering waves, boat-swallowing holes, and spraying foam that is Class V whitewater. And thanks to near-record snowpack across the great ranges of the West, this whitewater-rafting season promises to be the wildest in decades. You’re not in Kansas anymore, Toto.
