Electric vehicles. Carbon-capture devices. Replacing cattle with bison. Lots of ideas have been tossed around for addressing climate change, but a new study suggests that one of the most effective solutions is pretty simple: Just plant more trees—a trillion of them to be exact. The research, conducted by the Swiss university ETH Zurich, found that around 0.9 billion hectares (roughly 2.2 billion acres) of land is suitable for reforestation around the globe....

On the heels of a new HBO series, Jennifer Garner talks camping trips, paparazzi, and more. In order to view the video, please allow Manage Cookies In Camping, which just premiered, you play a controlling mom on a trip that goes awry. Are you type A in real life?

Good news for my dad, brother, myself—pretty much every male member of my family, actually—The Rock, and millions of other men: McDonald’s fries may cure baldness! (Confession: Upon hearing that headline, I threw away every hat I owned and danced like nobody was watching.) But—hang on a second. “No way,” I thought to myself after digesting the news, figuring it was simply an Onion article in sheep’s clothing. “Too good to be true....

In 2012, extreme athlete Kyle Kirkpatrick grew frustrated by the lack of comfortable headphones on the market that were compatible with an active lifestyle.

Kirkpatrick took it upon himself to create the perfect headphones for athletes — he consulted audio engineers, material specialists and elite athletes to test his prototypes. Hundreds of designs later, Kirkpatrick launched Decibullz, the world’s first thermo-fit, custom-molded ear buds....

Knowing how to order a beer in another country is paramount to survival abroad. (Well, maybe second to phrases like “Where’s the bathroom?” or “I have food poisoning, so please direct me to the bathroom and then the hospital.”) The thing is, ordering beer isn’t just a transaction—in Europe’s beer capitals, it’s a ritual. Yes, you’ll probably face a language barrier. But most places have their own quirks and customs when it comes to etiquette, phrasing, and the beer itself....

Q: Why does my knee crack and pop during leg exercises? A: Popping and cracking sounds are common with movements that involve bending or twisting. Concern is only when the popping and cracking sounds occur with pain. Your bones are covered with cartilage that allows them to move smoothly against each other. Training and being active over the years can create incongruencies in the cartilage leading to irregular gliding of your bones, creating this crepitus sound....

Jennifer Lawrence may be playing a deadly Russian spy in the upcoming film Red Sparrow, but she might want to brush up on her real-life combat skills. Specifically axe-throwing. Lawrence challenged Jimmy Fallon while promoting her film Mother!, in which she stars opposite Javier Bardem, on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon. And while the 27-year-old had proposed the trial by combat, Fallon ultimately reigned supreme. (Maybe they could both take a few pointers from everyone’s favorite grizzly man’s grizzly man, Jason Momoa....

If you are looking for a pair of comfortable, warm and versatile pants to make your life easy this season – look no further than Patagonia’s Nano-Air Pant ($199) – available in Men’s and Women’s. This might sound like some late night TV infomercial, but I (quite literally) didn’t take these pants off for three months. When my buddy from Patagonia sent a sample pair of their Nano-Air pant, it was early March, nearly spring, but temps were still getting down to minus 10 degrees Fahrenheit at night, so there would be plenty of time for me to “test out” these pants before the warm spring weather showed up....

Katie Compton competes at Cyclocross Cup. Photo: Trek Bikes/Jeff Kennel Unfamiliar with the discipline of cyclocross? It’s kind of like a Spartan Race with a bike, requiring riders to cover terrain including grass, dirt, gravel and occasionally pavement while navigating obstacles like boulders, logs, ramps (called “flyovers”) and steep hills, requiring many riders to dismount and carry their bikes to the top before re-mounting as quickly as possible....

It’s not, necessarily, even a “diet.” Rather, it’s more like a lifestyle management system. With Noom, you learn to make smarter decisions about your lifestyle—the choices you make, the food you ingest, and yes, the amount of sugar you put into your body....

As a mostly vegetarian, often I’m asked whether I miss meat. The answer is yes. (And sometimes hell yes.) Sure, there are meat substitutes, but those take a little magical thinking (and a ton of condiments) to feel satisfying. I’m not complaining—I’ll admit I enjoy basking in the self-righteous glow of making food choices that help the planet. So when Beyond Meat asked if Men’s Journal wanted a preview of their newest offering, Beyond Sausage, before it hit Whole Foods stores across the country this week, we said hell yes....
