Remember to dink responsibly! Pickleball, which combines elements of tennis, badminton and ping-pong, has mass appeal thanks to its low-impact design, accessibility and straightforward rules. Played by 19.8 million people in 2024, this wildly popular sport actually serves up some pretty serious eye injuries. Researchers are hopeful their findings will encourage players to use proper eyewear.

Sorry, Yogis. New research suggests that the ancient practice may not provide as many cardiovascular benefits as once thought — even if you crank up the heat while holding warrior pose. But not all is lost for fans of mindful movement. The study identified three workouts that better support heart health, including two that also emphasize breath, balance and mental clarity. Yoga’s impact on vascular function appears stronger in older adults, the study suggests.

Move over Dunkin’ — America runs on Taco Bell. Or at least a certain subset of iron-gutted ultra-runners does.  On Saturday, Oct. 5, about 1,200 registrants are expected to toe the line at the eighth annual International Taco Bell 50K Ultramarathon, a queasy urban adventure that challenges the quads and the colon in equal measure.  The Denver-based race, which is neither endorsed by or affiliated with Taco Bell corporate, invites what one participant calls a “special type of idiot” to run the 31-mile course and eat at nine out of 10 Taco Bells along the way. On Saturday, Oct. 5,…

It was easily the makeup ad of the year (and Maybelline just relaunched “Maybe It’s Maybelline” with Miley Cyrus). Yes, it was not really an ad. But with looks created by artist Sam Visser, a new class of supermodels, 1980s Tresemmé vibes and a sax solo, it was so fun.A question for the group: With Bad Bunny’s Superbowl half-time announcement, which lucky beauty brand is going to nab him to be the face of their fragrance…

A NYC-based plastic surgeon has gone viral warning that overdoing the popular workout can speed up the aging process — from your joints all the way to your jawline. “Running feels great, that’s terrific, you get a high from it,” Dr. Gerald Imber said in a recent TikTok. “[But] your knees go, your ankles go, your hip goes, your skin goes and your face sags.” Dr. Gerald Imber specializes in minimally invasive cosmetic procedures to combat aging.

We’ve all been there: a critical moment, an important call, a new city to navigate—   and the dreaded «Low Battery» notification flashes across our screen. This common urban pain point, often called «low battery anxiety,» is precisely what the Kuala Lumpur-based technology company QELNIX is determined to solve. But their vision  extends far beyond simple charging; they are building a connected, sustainable, and participatory energy ecosystem for the cities of tomorrow. The Visionaries: From a Personal Pain Point to a City-Wide Mission Behind QELNIX are two co-founders with different expertise but a shared philosophy. CEO Steve Jensen, an electronic engineering veteran with over 15 years in enterprise energy management, was struck by an idea while stranded at an airport with a dead phone and a broken charging kiosk. He questioned, “Are we using the dumbest way to solve the most basic need?” This moment sparked the mission to create an energy-sharing network that was not only efficient but also inclusive and…

Yoga is widely used for stroke rehabilitation — but in rare cases it can also cause a stroke. fizkes – stock.adobe.com “Ironically, certain types of yoga can be helpful in aiding motor recovery following stroke,” Dr. Jeremy M. Liff, a senior member of the Society…

I caught a wave in the middle of Manhattan — and didn’t even get my hair wet. Instead, I spent Sunday morning on the rooftop of Margaritaville Resort Times Square, wobbling through a surf-inspired workout on a custom balance board designed to mimic the motion of the ocean. After an hour of pop-ups, duck dives and plenty of wipeouts, I was more than ready to paddle straight to the bar downstairs. But a week later, I can’t stop thinking about how much fun it was to hang ten in the heart of Midtown. Surfset NYC is offering free classes to…
