3 expert tips to keep anxiety from being the third wheel in your relationship
May 31, 2019 at 04:00AM by CWC Anxiety is oh so common—in fact, the Anxiety and Depression Association of America estimates 40 million adults in the United States are affected by anxiety disorders every year. When you’re afflicted, the condition has a nasty way of invading every crevice of life—including matters of the heart. So, hate to break it to you, but your relationship is certainly not immune. It’s confusing enough to navigate the rough waters of finding a love worthy of commitment and energy without adding in the awful X factor of anxiety. And as one of those 40 million Americans who suffers from an anxiety disorder, I know this yarn all too well. Thankfully, “my anxiety is ruining my relationship” isn’t something I’ve said about my own situation: I have a partner who is supportive and patient with me whenever I trudge through times of high anxiety, even if those instances render me a frustrating and frustrated ball of silence who can’t communicate in real time what’s happening internally. Still, my condition does certainly get in the way—a lot—and the same is true for many couples, especially those who are very close and spend a whole bunch of their time together. “That’s where anxiety can become a bit tricky, because you’re suddenly letting your partner in on some of your deeper vulnerabilities,” says Chloe Carmichael, PhD, a clinical psychologist based in New York City. Whether you’re anxious about the relationship itself or matters outside of it (or, let’s

How to eat healthy at Dunkin’ Donuts, according to a nutritionist
May 31, 2019 at 03:00AM by CWC If America runs on Dunkin’, we’re in danger of setting ourselves up for a collective afternoon sugar crash. I love flavored lattes, glazed donuts, and oversized muffins as much as the next person, but that energy drop a few hours after is steep, my friends. Thankfully, there are options for healthy eating at DD if you know where to look. The chain has a dedicated DDSmart menu, which highlights foods with at least 25 percent less saturated fat, sodium, or sugar than everything else on their menu. (Like, um, the donuts.) Dunkin’ even recently came out with two new high-protein power bowls, a sausage scramble and and egg white bowl, which they’re serving at select locations for a limited time. As for the regular menu, it’s actually *even* possible to stick to healthy vegetarian, keto, and Paleo eating plans while you’re there. Surprised? Here, registered dietitian Kim Melton, RD gives her top picks for the aforementioned diet types—fancy latte options included. Vegetarian diet Menu picks: Oatmeal; veggie egg white sandwich What an RD says: The DDSmart menu is where you’ll find both the oatmeal and the veggie egg-white sandwich—Melton’s healthy picks for vegetarians. “The oatmeal is the healthiest option and has great fiber and protein,” she says, adding that the dried fruit on top is a great topping. “For vegetarians who eat eggs and cheese, the veggie egg white sandwich also gives good protein [14 grams],” Melton says. “It looks like you can get it
