Probiotics & Male Fertility: The Secret to Good Sperm Quality

October 18, 2021

Woman: "You need to go to the big game... why?" Man: "Because we want to start a family..." Woman: (stares blankly) "And the connection would be...?" Man: "The lactobacillus in the sauerkraut that I'll put on my hot dogs will improve my semen quality... obviously!" Woman: "Mmmm hmmm. Too bad obesity causes oxidative stress which damages sperm morphology, reduces sperm count, decreases sperm motility, causes sperm DNA fragmentation, and can affect your reproductive hormones." Man: "I'm cancelling your subscription to the International Society of Andrology..." Woman: "Yuh huh, in the meantime, here's a cup of yogurt to supercharge your spermatogenesis." Man: "Raspberry, my favorite flavor... Well played!"

Is Liquid Collagen Really Better than Collagen Powder?

October 11, 2021

Just five years ago, collagen supplements were seen as "specialty products" that you could only order online or buy in boutique health food stores.

8 Alternatives to Coffee for Coffee Addicts

October 08, 2021

To quote twitter wisdom, 'Just to be clear: I never *don’t* want iced coffee.’ There has never been a bad time for iced coffee. I will never be displeased by receiving iced coffee. At no point in my life will I ever say “no thank you, I don’t want iced coffee.”' Fast forward three coffees, five bathroom breaks, and a week's worth of jitters later and the thought of another coffee is sickening. When you need that extra 3 PM boost or simply want a more complex nonalcoholic drink to go with dinner, don't head to the coffee maker! Instead, try one of these delicious and healthy coffee alternatives for a gentle, energizing effect that won't last until 2 AM. They're good enough to turn the biggest "coff-a-holics" into believers!
