Eggs are one of the most nutritious and affordable foods you can buy. They’re packed full of protein and essential nutrients. However when you walk through the refrigerated section of your grocery store, it can get confusing. You have to decide: Do I buy the brown ones? The white ones? The cheapest ones? The organic ones? Oh, wait, what about the cage-free ones? How can you tell what’s the most sustainable—what hens were treated the most humanely?...

We’re all in this COVID-19 crisis together. Isn’t that wild? Wherever you’re at right now you can relate. It’s as if a Category 5 hurricane is bearing down on the entire world, and we have no idea how or when it will ever dissipate. Last week countries everywhere began ordering residents to stay at home. And then they started closing beaches and lineups. From South Africa to Indonesia perfect waves are currently going unridden for the first time in 50-plus years....

No surfer explores more of West Africa’s rugged, unpredictable and downright dangerous coastline than Kepa Acero. From Morocco to South Africa, and nearly all countries in-between, Acero has been there. “Picking up my backpack and going to Africa was just a personal challenge,” Acero told us in an interview back in 2017. “I was scared at the time. Catching that plane was like jumping into space. But today, seven years have passed and I have not stopped....

Everyday habits shape your long-term success, which is why the foods you put into your body today are so important for your physique and well-being tomorrow. That being said, the “smart” choices you’re making to achieve a healthy lifestyle may be backfiring. Yes, you pick up tips from authoritative sources, adhere to highly praised eating regimens, and shop for foods marketed toward athletes because, hey, if it’s good enough for a pro, it’s good enough for you....

All Photos by Andy Cochrane Long sought after by gear junkies, travel enthusiasts, on-and-off piste resort skiers, and space-conscious dirtbags who live in their truck (sorry Mom) is the one ski setup that can do it all – rip smooth turns on corduroy, reduce chatter on icy slopes, float in deep powder, and remain light enough for long uphill skins. It’s a lot to ask for one piece carbon fiber, wood, rubber, and steel....

As if you don’t have enough reasons to feel guilty for avoiding the dentist, it turns out a healthy mouth is linked to a lot more than the absence of cavities and plaque. Researchers say our mouths are home to an ecosystem of billions of bacteria with influence far beyond our teeth and gums—influence they are just starting to unravel. “We know that oral bacteria affect almost every aspect of our health—metabolism, cardiovascular system, neurological health, and more,” says Yiping Han, a microbiologist at Columbia University Dental and Medical Schools in New York City....

With the growing popularity of vanlife happening right now, living in a repurposed school bus in the woods might a dream many people have. But it’s also one that very few of us will ever actually get to do. But for one septuagenarian, that is his reality. Dag Aabye is considered by some as “the most elusive man in North America.” Somewhere hidden in the mountains of Vernon, British Columbia Aabye enjoys a simple life away from modern society while living amongst nature and training for ultramarathons....

Once James Bond, always James Bond. Daniel Craig learned that the hard way in a new Heineken advert themed around the upcoming Bond flick, No Time to Die. In the ad, the people of the Spanish towns of Tamarit and Cardona can’t discern Craig from his M16 agent alter ego as he chases after a taxi that’s gone off with his passport and wallet. Although unlike Bond, Craig gets a little winded sprinting uphill....

By Ed Martin On August 11, 2017, Peter Bojanic and I set out from Hubbards in Saint Margarets Bay to circumnavigate Nova Scotia. It was the first time the two of us had ever paddled together.

You may have never heard of French stunt crew Rad Cow before this, but this GoPro Awards submission will surely help them gain some spotlight. The crew attempts to water ski an extremely shallow creek (with plenty of rocks) while on alpine skis. For something like that you’d need some pretty good momentum to propel the rider through the narrow water. So they built a DIY winch with the axle of a car....

If you’re not using a Sonos Beam soundbar with your television, then you’re just watching tv. Yes, we know: That sounds like shameless advertising jargon. But we can’t think of a better way to put it. We hooked the Sonos Beam soundbar up to our five-year-old Samsung flat-screen recently, and by crisping up the high-end and boosting the down-low, Beam rounded out our television viewing experience by transforming our ho-hum family room into something akin to a home theater....

Millions of people around the world are in the process of telling themselves that they need to quit smoking cigarettes. Some succeed in making the move, while others are fine with deluding themselves about their desire to quit. And while plenty of programs and smoking cessation aids are out there, a new study has shown that the success of quitting may be accelerated by taking a run. The recent research, which was published in the journal Mental and Physical Activity, followed 168 smokers across Canada who enrolled in the Run to Quit program, which consisted of weekly sessions that had a classroom component as well as an outdoor walking or running regimen that was targeted toward an eventual 5K run....

The sun is shining. You’re outside soaking up Vitamin D and getting all kinds of tan. And suddenly, your dermis is fried. It’s burnt, it’s itchy, it’s peeling. And that’s the superficial stuff. Under a microscope, your DNA and skin cells are mutating permanently, a side effect of exposure to ultraviolet rays that can lead to skin cancer. (Not to mention, other superficial side effects like fine lines and dark spots on the skin....

Apparently, being the King of the Seven Seas is a lot harder than it looks. In an interview with ComicBook.com, Jason Momoa revealed that his days of filming Aquaman were long, cold, and disproportionately spent strapped up in a harness. ‘Aquaman’ Star Jason Momoa Is a Real American Badass Read article When asked if he’d ever endure those painful moments again, Momoa says he’d welcome the challenge. “It is absolutely no pain compared to what pain really is, so absolutely I’ll be going through it again,” Momoa said....

Larceny Bourbon is adding a new bottle to its ranks, and the new barrel-proof member of the family looks to be next year’s first must-try bourbon. The bottling claims to offer richer, deeper flavors, and a more authentic drinking experience “to taste Larceny as Heaven Hill’s Master Distiller does, straight out of the barrel,” as the press release explains. This marks just the second release in the Larceny line of bourbons since the brand launched in 2012, which is somewhat staggering, considering even the spartan Maker’s Mark brand has released a half-dozen new products in the last decade....

There isn’t a much more transcendent experience than stepping away from the bulk of your worldly possessions and reconnecting with the natural world. This can be achieved a number of ways, but arguably one of the most infinitely satisfying is backpacking. Make sure you’ve got the basics covered when it comes to backpacking gear.
