Ginnifer Goodwin Has Big Love For Veganism

I’m a big fan of Ginnifer Goodwin, mostly because I love Margene, her character on the hit HBO series Big Love . Margene brings a wide-eyed naivete to the show, and to me seems like a very unlikely candidate for polygamy. After all, she was the babysitter. In real life, Ginnifer joins a growing list of celebs - think Natalie Portman and Alicia Silverstone - who are vegan. While the thought of giving up all things animal might seem difficult for some, Ginnifer recently shared with 21-Day Vegan Kickstart that going vegan isn’t as hard as most people think. Here’s what I learned about going vegan from Ginnifer’s own transition into the lifestyle. You can live without cheese . Ginnifer says that before becoming vegan she knew without a doubt that she could “absolutely, positively could never give up cheese.” She was wrong. Not only did she manage to ween herself off of “cheeseburgers, pizza, and macaroni and cheese,” she got some family members in on the action too. “Now two of my four parents have gone vegan. They see the impact a plant-based diet has had on my life and want to live more healthfully and happily, too.” Food is more enjoyable . “Your taste buds will awake, and you can eat more without gaining weight!” It’s the responsible thing to do . Once she learned the drawbacks of eating factory-farmed meat , Ginnifer knew she had to go vegan. She admits it was not only an easy choice, but one that was “practical and reasonable” too. It’s easy, everyone is doing it . Since veganism has really taken off, Ginnifer says that everything you need to start is already out there. “Go online to discover accidentally-vegan foods you’ve always enjoyed and how to order vegan meals at restaurants you already frequent. Learn about new products and ask your local grocery to carry them. They will.” If you think you can’t live without cheese, then try making my vegan mac-n-cheese .

Roll Out! Foam Roller Massage

If you’re pushing yourself hard in your workouts, then you need to make friends with a foam roller. Costing anywhere between $10 to $25, a foam roller is cheaper than a massage therapist and you don’t have to make an appointment. Many people I know use a roller regularly on the IT band on the outside of the thigh, but here are five more massaging moves to try with a foam roller. View Slideshow ›

DrSugar Answers: Is Candida the Culprit?

DrSugar is in the house, and she’s answering your health-related questions. Dear DrSugar, I have been experiencing severe stomach pains for about four months, as well as other lesser symptoms like fatigue and skin breakouts. So far, my doctor is leaning toward the all-encompassing diagnosis of IBS, which obviously can only be “managed” (so far unsuccessfully) with lifestyle changes. I have tried eliminating gluten and dairy, which helped at first, but the pain has flared up again. Somebody at work suggested my problem might be candida. Is candida a “real” medical problem? And if so, are there diagnostic tests or medicinal treatments available? Any information about the causes, symptoms, and remedies for candida would be much appreciated. Thank you! - Tender Tummy To see DrSugar’s response continue reading.

The Top 10 Moments of the Winter Olympics, So Far

Years ago, if you had suggested that the United States would lead the count in Winter Olympic medals won by a nation , people would have laughed you off. But over the years Team USA has inched its way up, and currently holds a pretty solid lead in the medal count. Going into the games, there were a few gold medal givens, like Shaun White and Lindsey Vonn, but upsets from Hannah Kearney and Evan Lysacek spiked that medal count even higher. Whether or not Team USA stays on top is anyone’s guess: there’s still a full week of events to go, and as we’ve seen, the medal ranking can change in a day. However, it’s still inspiring to think of what our team has done in just the first week. View Slideshow ›
