Follow These Simple Bed Makeover Tips to Help Reduce Back Pain

When you think your bed is the culprit behind your regular back pain (or at least making it worse), slumber is rarely sweet and dark undereye circles are the least of your worries.

So is your mattress really to blame for lower back aches and discomfort throughout the day?

We chatted with an orthopedic surgeon to find out what you can do to make your bed a more comfortable place.

Do Your Mattress Research
Memory foam, firm, soft, pillow-top — there's a lot to choose from in the mattress department.

The truth of the matter: unfortunately, there isn't a best option for reducing back pain.

“Mattresses are tricky, and they are a big business,” Dr. Alan S. Hilibrand, MD, chief of Spine Surgery at Rothman Orthopaedic Institute, explains.

“Sleeping on a good mattress won't eliminate back pain, but a mattress with poor support certainly can make it worse.”

While he says that generally more support is better and you should replace a mattress that sags, everyone is di..

Everything You Should Know About Getting Laser Hair Removal Before You Commit

The idea of getting laser hair removal and never having to shave again is appealing for obvious reasons. Gone would be the days of spending extra time in the shower removing every inch of body hair, dealing with itchy razor bumps, or remembering to shave your bikini line ahead of an upcoming beach trip. Laser hair removal saves you time, money, and effort in the long run, but it is undoubtedly an investment.

Like with any big commitment, before signing yourself up for laser hair removal, you should do your research so you have a general idea of what to expect. There's the cost to consider, certain rules you should follow pre and post-treatment for the best results, and protocol for the appointment itself.

5 End-of-Summer Hairstyle Trends That’ll Look Fresh Through Fall (and Beyond)

The year 2020, summed up in one sentence: the only certainty is that nothing is certain. Fall's response to that? Bring it on.

Transparently, few things these last few months have gone “according to plan,” but this upcoming season will be all about using that fact in your favor — especially when it comes to hairstyles. In fact, the latest trends du jour are intentionally messy, imperfect, and completely unlike what you've seen in fall's prior. The single common denominator, pros agree, is that texture (and lots of it) will reign supreme.

“Last fall we were looking at more polished hairstyles such as the sleek Kardashian-esque bobs and high or tight ponytails, but this year brought unprecedented situations that led to so many DIY looks where comfort was king and less was definitely more,” Michelle Cleveland, hair stylist and owner of Hair Addict salon, told POPSUGAR.

“Lived-in texture and easy-to-style looks are what you will be seeing for the rest of the year.”

All You Need Is 15 Minutes and a Timer For This Interval Walking Workout

When 3 p.m. rolls around, my energy levels are usually at a low — the midday slump is in full effect, and another cup of coffee would only deliver a case of caffeine jitters. What is helpful though, on top of a snack, is giving myself a quick break from answering emails, and logging a short workout. My favorite afternoon option — that doesn't leave me totally drenched and in need of an immediate shower — is a walk around my neighborhood.

Lindsay Wandzilak, a NASM-certified personal trainer and founder of The Daily With Lindsay, says that walking is the main source of recommended exercise for her clients.

A low-impact form of cardio, Wandzilak says that getting the body moving through walking can help improve circulation, lower blood pressure, and strengthen the heart.

“Based on whichever speed or terrain you're walking on, you immediately burn calories and regulate blood sugar,” Wandzilak says. “This influences your food intake and encourages healthier cravings for the ..

Relief From Migraine Headaches Could Call For Increasing Your Magnesium Intake

If you struggle with frequent migraine headaches, you know they're no joke — but neither is magnesium when it comes to relief.

“Magnesium has a great reputation as a safe and effective supplement that can help to reduce the frequency of migraine attacks when taken preventively, as well as potentially relieve symptoms during an attack when taken as needed,” Dr. Frederick Godley, MD, an otolaryngologist and the president of the Association of Migraine Disorders, says.

Dizziness, ringing in the ears, sleep disturbances, and sinus pressure are just a few of the symptoms Dr. Godley mentions. He also says that magnesium can help conditions that often coincide with migraines like anxiety, depression, and fibromyalgia.

Dr. Godley backs his positive claims by explaining how the right dosage of the mineral can increase cell energy production and reduce neural excitability and blood vessel constriction.

Before beelining it to the vitamin section of your local pharmacy (that means closing..

Zoe Kravitz Got Some Big Congrats From Her Dad And Stepdad Over The Teaser For The Batman

Zoe Kravitz didnt get a ton of screentime in the first teaser for The Batman, the latest gritty reboot of the Caped Crusader, in which she plays the first Catwoman of color since Eartha Kitt on the 60s TV show. (Though she fared better than Colin Farrells Penguin and Paul Danos The Riddler, both blink-and-miss and shrouded in shadows.) But even a few, incredibly dim images of her as Selina Kyle was enough to get people excited for more. Indeed, after the actress posted the teaser on her Instagram, she got a ton of high-profile congrats, including from her two dads.

Those, of course, would be her biological father, musician Lenny Kravtiz, and Jason Momoa, who married her mother, Lisa Bonet, in 2017, and is therefore her stepdad. Zoes father kept it short and sweet, writing, “I love you.” Momoa went a touch longer, saying, “love you i cant wait. so proud of you.”

Its all very heartwarming, but its more than that: Now that Zoe is a member of the DCEU, that means shes colleagues with her..
