Heading to the grocery store for your weekly food run is never a good idea when you’re hungry (or after smoking weed). Sure enough, a bunch of processed crap will inevitably end up in your basket while your belly rumbles and your brain searches for fuel. But why that phenomenon happens was not well-understood by food scientists, until a new study from Johns Hopkins University tackled the topic. As it turns out, you don’t even have to be in the grocery store for the effect to take hold....

When it comes to nutrition and fitness, timing is everything. For example, recent research found that when guys ate carbs after exercise, they torched more fat in the three hours post-workout than if they ate carbs before. Now, scientists have pinpointed an optimal time to eat saturated fats to minimize their negative effects. In the Texas A&M Health Science Center and Texas A&M AgriLife study, researchers discovered what makes saturated fats “bad” may have more to do with when you eat them than anything else....

Most snowboarders are content purchasing a factory-manufactured board from their favorite brand. And for good reason — snowboards are engineered to not only enhance your performance, but also to withstand the often-harsh conditions and abuse that come with the sport. However, a number of snowboard purists are starting to understand the importance of a well-thought-out quiver and appreciate different sensations while riding.
