Do you remember what you ate yesterday? Were your food choices healthy? Did you happen to consume any foods containing polyunsaturated fats (PUFAs)? If you are eating in America, you likely consumed PUFAs at some point in your day.

Seed oils have been getting a lot of attention lately, being praised as the champions of heart-healthy cooking. However, like low-fat yogurts that contain hidden sugars, these oils also have a less glamorous side. They contain high amounts of PUFAs, which may sound like a good thing, but there's a catch.

PUFAs are like the fickle friends of the fatty acid world. They are sensitive and tend to cause drama. When they mix with omega-6 fatty acids, they can cause inflammation and a host of health issues.

Below, we spill the beans (or should we say seeds?!) on everything you need to know about seed oils. From their high-maintenance nature to their potential to cause health problems, we're serving up the essential info.

In an era where the term "work-life balance" often garners skeptical chuckles rather than nods of agreement, forward-thinking companies are carving out a new path in employee wellness and engagement. They are not just offering free gym memberships or throwing some healthy snacks in the break room and calling it a day. Instead, they're developing something far more impactful: a shared purpose.

At the heart of this revolution is the understanding that employees are not just cogs in a corporate machine but individuals seeking meaning and connection in their work. Companies leading the charge recognize that a paycheck, while necessary, doesn't quite quench the thirst for purpose.

Below, discover why fostering a shared purpose is crucial for improving employee well-being and learn how to help your employees connect with a sense of purpose.

It could be a relaxing walk, a brief mindfulness session, or even some quality time with a furry friend.

How many times a day do you find yourself checking your phone?

Let's be honest, we're all a tad guilty of mindlessly checking our phones.

According to research, the average American checks their phone once every 10 to 12 minutes. That's right — a whopping 96 times per day! Finding a moment of peace seems nearly impossible with never-ending notifications, buzzing text messages, and a constant stream of emails.

Yet, what if you could hit the 'mute' button on life's chaos?

Enter the serene realm of mindfulness.

Throughout this 30-plan, you will discover a series of simple practices carefully crafted to infuse mindfulness at the very core of your daily routine. Each day, you will be introduced to a range of  exercises, from relishing every sip of your morning coffee with heightened awareness to embracing the deliberate rhythm of your breaths that ground you in the present moment.
