Greta Thunberg has been leading the charge against climate change and has quickly become the face of eco-conscious youth.

Even if you aced your last physical, if you’re carrying excess chub, your odds of developing heart disease are still up to 28 percent greater than a normal-weight guy’s.

Dave Portnoy’s lost weight. The Barstool Sports founder has eaten a slice of pizza every day for the past two years and, ironically, said he’s dropped some pounds since he started the habit. “Before, I’d order a pizza for dinner and eat the whole thing.

It’s made me eat less.” But the slice-a-day practice isn’t just for fun: he also reviews each slice on camera in a series called “One Bite With Davey Pageviews....

Running is one of the first movements you learn as a kid (you know, once you nail down crawling, standing, and walking). You fall into the motion pretty naturally, and then learn the basics of stretching, form, workouts, and more from gym teachers and coaches as you grow up. And for the most part, nothing’s really changed since you first ran. Or so you thought. Sure, most of the recommendations we’ve been told have remained steadfast over the years, but there are some old beliefs that can be put to rest....

We knew the crew would be traveling through a variety of climates and conditions, so bringing gear along that could stand up to the challenge was at the top of mind....

A single ounce of blue cheese dip contains 150 calories and 14g of fat. So even if the only thing you ate while watching the game was celery sticks dipped in the stuff, you’d still need to run for half an hour just to burn it off. For a healthier version, simply use Greek yogurt as your base instead of mayo, and add a little crumbled blue cheese, cayenne pepper, and a few dashes from a trusty bottle of Frank’s RedHot....
