According to Science…

For instance, recent research published in the scientific journal PLOS One found that dogs with no prior rescue training at all instinctively knew to save their owners in a simulated emergency. When participating owners were “locked” in a box and instructed to yell “help!,” one-third of the dogs not only ran over to help but also figured out how to open the box and rescue their owner. “Most dogs would run into a burning building just because they can’t stand to be apart from their owners.

Slide 1 of 5: It's simply a fact that our favorite furry friends love us. For instance, recent research published in the scientific journal PLOS One found that dogs with no prior rescue training at all instinctively knew to save their owners in a simulated emergency. When participating owners were "locked" in a box and instructed to yell "help!," one-third of the dogs not only ran over to help but also figured out how to open the box and rescue their owner. "Most dogs would run into a burning building just because they can't stand to be apart from their owners. How sweet is that? And if they know you're in distress, well, that just ups the ante," says study co-author Joshua Van Bourg of Arizona State University.Where does all of this canine kindness come from? Turns out it's in their blood. A study released a few years ago by Oregon State University reports that it is literally in dogs' genes to crave social interactions with humans. But owning a dog comes with far more benefits than loyalty, protection, and companionship when you go out for your morning walks. In fact, the act of owning a canine can affect your life—and your body—in a number of surprising ways.

Are Air Fryers Safe?

It’s “essentially a convection oven,” says Abbie Gellman, a New York City-based chef and registered dietitian. “However, the fan that circulates the air spins more quickly.”

A convection oven cooks food faster than a standard conventional oven, saving energy. While an air fryer may use the same principles of cooking, it comes with a big bonus: air circulation.

Why Not, Exercise Before Breakfast!

Slide 1 of 5: The early bird gets the worm, but what does the early-morning exerciser get? A lot, apparently. Working out before breakfast isn't just a great way to hit your fitness goals first thing in the morning—some research has associated the practice with unique benefits that you might not get by working out at other times of day.Before we dive into those benefits, some caveats must be noted. Many studies exploring exercise and time of day are limited to small human trials or mouse studies—meaning that their conclusions aren't necessarily definitive. Additionally, lots of the findings are conflicting. "The research is all over the map on the best time to exercise, mainly because research is looking at all different types of benefits from stress management to weight loss and body composition," Bronwyn Bacon, ND, shared with ACE Fitness. Depending on your body, your goals, and the type of exercise you love, you may see lots (or zero) benefit to switching up the time of day you work out.All of that is to say: The best time of day to work out is the one that works best for your schedule. If you're not a morning person, forcing yourself out of bed to hit the pavement before you've had coffee is hardly conducive to a sustainable fitness routine. But if you're an early riser—or are interested in shaking up your fitness—there are some potential benefits to working out before breakfast for your health, your mood, and more.
