A new study suggests that tree nuts may reduce certain risk factors for cardiovascular disease by modifying the metabolism of L-tryptophan, an amino acid.In a controlled parallel trial, people with obesity or overweight who snacked on tree nuts as part of a 24-week weight loss and weight maintenance program experienced increased levels of serotonin, which can enhance mood.Tree nuts are rich in nutrients, and eating them instead of other snacks was not associated with gaining weight.The authors of a new study recently established a link between the consumption of tree nuts — almonds, cashews, hazelnuts, macadamia, pecans, pistachios, and walnuts…

The bra top underneath added a healthy dose of femininity to the otherwise oversized and androgynous silhouette. “We were really looking for timeless looks that could stand the test of time,” share Bannerman and McDonald (who are known professionally as Wayman + Micah). The two say they wanted something where “Keke could look back on her first SNL hosting gig years from now and the look would still feel relevant.”Some viewers drew comparisons between Palmer’s suit-jacket reveal and a similar move executed by Beyoncé…

The actor wore a red sequined dress that operated as a delightful nod to her enduring Baywatch swimsuit. “Flashback,” the star shouts when she walks out in the megawatt outfit, showing the look off to her possé and two sons. The room whoops and cheers. The outfit is one meaningful part of a sentimental night for Anderson and her…
