Acts of kindness can brighten anyone's day, but new research suggests that doing good deeds for others may help people improve their own depression and anxiety.
Sometimes it can be difficult to resist food cravings. Who among us has not caved in and torn into a bag of salty chips, only to regret it moments later? Well, we have a tip for exactly those trying times.
It turns out that inhaling a peppermint scent every two hours helped people defuse cravings and eat fewer calories, a study found. The exact reasons why are unclear.
Dr. Amy Shah, a physician, nutrition expert and author of "I'm So Effing Hungry: Why We Crave What We Crave — and What to Do About It," told TODAY that she keeps a bottle of peppermint essential oil in her pantry to smell occasionally or to apply to her yoga mat when she practices. She also suggests brewing peppermint tea or diffusing the oil into the air.
