If you pop an erectile dysfunction pill, there are a couple of things you expect to happen. Your vision turning permanently red probably isn’t one of them. After a 31-year-old man took liquid sildenafil citrate—the active ingredient in most ED drugs, including Viagra and Cialis—his vision took on a red tint. Two days later he went to the emergency room and doctors diagnosed him with retinal toxicity, confirming the drug had caused actual structural changes to his retina....

Sprouts are the kind of thing you find at a vegetarian luncheonette, or growing in the kitchen of your most health-conscious friend. Learn about their benefits and you may start growing them yourself. The dainty vegetables boast a hefty nutrient load relative to their size—adding just a quarter cup to a meal really does make a difference. “Sprouts are essentially seeds that have gone through the germination process,” says Catherine Brennan, a Rhode Island–based dietitian....

If you’ve ever wondered how many American soldiers it takes to wipe out an entire city’s worth of beer, the answer is around 6,000 of them. According to Newsweek, thousands of troops stopped by for a quick drink—or maybe four—in Reykjavík, Iceland this past weekend. The military personnel were on their way to Sweden and Finland for the Trident Juncture 18, NATO’s largest military exercise since the Cold War, and made a stop in the Nordic island’s capital for the weekend....

Earlier this week, Vietnam’s first private airport – Van Don International Airport – opened up in Quang Ninh, roughly 30 miles away from Vietnam’s beautiful stretch of over a thousand islands in Ha Long Bay. This airport makes traveling to Vietnam’s popular tourist attractions so much easier (and cheaper) than ever before – Not only due to its proximity to the breathtaking stretch of coast, but according to Vietnam Net, the airport is also offering free tickets to local tourist attractions, including ones in Ha Long Bay....

If the teaser for Vince Vaughn’s upcoming flick, Brawl in Cell Block 99, is any indication of the comedic actor’s new role, don’t expect a whole lot of laughter. Vaughn’s usual affable charm, quick wit, and, well, full head of hair are nowhere to be seen in the film. The plot focuses on Bradley Thomas (Vaughn), a boxer-turned-drug-runner who finds himself imprisoned after a deal goes horribly awry. Things continue to unravel as the violence ratchets up, and survival becomes the only goal....

On February 9, Brooklyn is going Cali. Well, Brooklyn Brewery at least. Next month the beermaker will be relaunching its 2017 brew Bel Air Sour as a permanent staple in its stable of beers. The sour performed so well last year Brooklyn made the choice to start brewing it year round. It will launch officially on February 9, and to mark the occasion, Brooklyn Brewery will throw Party Tartly Day bashes in locales like Brooklyn and Houston....

Despite what many people think, listening to music does not improve creativity or your ability to focus at work (though it can help you have a better workout in the gym and push you farther and harder during a run). Researchers in Sweden and the U.K. found that if the brain is processing music, verbal working memory is impaired. When people were asked to solve brain teasers, they were better at finding solutions and summoning creativity surrounded by silence rather than music....

There’s hardly a workout that doesn’t involve a squat, yet many of ours aren’t up to snuff. In order to view the video, please allow Manage Cookies A common issue is weight distribution. In a balanced, grounded squat, your weight is even across your feet. But lots of us find ourselves drifting to the balls of our feet instead. That’s a problem because that forward tilt introduces instability into what should be a strong, smooth movement....

To build a bigger and leaner physique, bodybuilders and average guys alike often turn to the same strategy: eating everything in sight, or “bulking,” and then burning fat, or “cutting,” by reducing calories and eating cleaner to reveal the new muscle beneath. It works, but it takes time and can cause you long-term damage on a cellular level—and it can make it very hard to stay lean over the long term....

When you’re looking to step up your racing distance from a 10K to a half-marathon, the main priority is increasing your endurance—extending your ability to maintain your current pace past 7 miles. It may seem counterintuitive, but you gain speed through endurance. Let’s say, for example, you can currently run an 8:00 min/mile for a 10K. If you can extend that pace out to 10 miles, when you go back and run a 10K, you’ll be clocking faster times....

Relationships. You have them with your partner. Your boss. Your buddies. Your dog. But when’s the last time you worked on your relationship with… yourself? Never, you say? Self-help only sounds woo-woo; it actually has a remarkable impact on your mental health and well-being. Here’s what it entails: “Building a healthier relationship with yourself means having a relationship with the parts of yourself that you like and the parts of yourself you don’t like,” says Avi Klein, LCSW, a New York-based therapist who specializes in men’s mental health....

IN THE GRAINY CELL PHONE VIDEO, Sebastian Woodroffe is struggling to stand. Dressed in jean shorts and a black sweatshirt, he’s lying in a puddle, clearly in pain, moaning and gurgling in the blood and the dirt. If he has not embraced his fate, he has at least acknowledged it. Around him, on a soggy, green clearing in a jungle settlement, a crowd has formed. The villagers, maybe 25 in all, mostly men, scream and shriek....

Face it: Losing weight is hard. It just is. It’s easy to grow frustrated and give up. Because despite all the hard work, you just can’t seem to drop that extra weight. Is there some kind of trick to losing weight—and keeping it off? Experts say “yes.” The key to losing weight is simple: Think yourself thin. Sounds easy enough. It also sounds like it might be pure hogwash! But the fact is, that simple trick works for thousands of Noom members....

This article and video were produced in partnership with Ikon Pass. For Phil Quintana, skiing the full mountain matters. Topping out at Alpine Meadows to tackle open-bowl turns is not an intermediate goal to be dismissed. Quintana has the added challenge of needing to do it on one ski. After losing his leg as a result of injuries sustained during his 2005 deployment in Afghanistan, the Marine combat veteran had to re-learn to ski with outriggers....

After winning every major contest during the 2018 season, Chloe Kim became the top women’s superpipe snowboarder in the world at the age of 17.

They murdered. They dismembered. They burned the bodies. They dealt drugs, robbed banks, assaulted and extorted innocent people. They were greedy, manipulative, remorseless criminals. And now one of them might be your neighbor. My name is John A. Gotti, and you’ve probably heard of me. My father, John Sr., was convicted of being the boss of the Gambino crime family, in 1992, and was sentenced to life in prison. He died there 10 years later....

Every year, fishermen and through-hikers alike run into problems fording rivers and creeks. The problem is that the power of moving water can be deceiving. Even a stream that’s just 2 feet deep, running at 5 mph exerts more than 200 pounds of pressure. When someone heads into that current unprepared for this force, it can cause the crosser to lose footing—and then lead to larger problems with potentially icy waters....
