By Dr. Mercola When’s the last time you’ve gotten, or given, a hug? If it’s been awhile, committing to more hugging is a simple way to not only feel happier but also be physically healthier. Human touch is a complex phenomenon, one that’s linked to the release of feel-good hormones and other physiological reactions in your body. Hugging is just one example, and it’s a powerful one. Even on particularly trying days, such as when you’re embroiled in relationship problems, a hug can improve your mood by increasing positive feelings and decreasing negative ones.

The threat posed by the overuse of antibiotics is becoming increasingly worrying.

But alongside this well-known crisis, there’s another, hidden danger that’s destroying the lives of thousands.

By Mike Barrett The average adult ingests about 2,000 microplastics each year through table salt, a study estimates. That’s because the same study found that microplastics were present in 90% of table salt brands sampled worldwide. It’s next to impossible to avoid adding plastic to your baked potato when you sprinkle it with salt. [1] Researchers in South Korea and Greenpeace East Asia tested 39 salt brands and found microplastics in 36 of them. The team also used previous studies to help track the spread of microplastics in table salt around the globe and their correlation to the heaviest concentrations

By Dr. Mercola Squash is a flowering plant in the gourd family. Although you may think of them as vegetables, they are actually fruit. The seeds, blossoms and fruit may all be cooked and eaten.1 Squash are often categorized as summer or winter squash, depending upon the length of time they may be stored, and not their growing season, as both are warm weather crops.

Winter squash usually grow on a vine and generally bear large fruit, which characteristically can be stored for many
