June 02, 2019 at 08:00AM by CWC One moment, you have a bunch of bright yellow bananas on your countertop, patiently waiting to be eaten. Then, in the blink of an eye, they’re spotted brown and attracting a full-on fruit fly fan club. They’re worse than avocados! While many recipes call for perfectly ripe bananas, they’re not always available in most kitchens. Who has time to babysit a fruit? Not me. But if you’re not going to make another loaf of banana bread, there are plenty of options that put all those overripe bananas to good use. The next time you’re in a bind and don’t want to let the fruit go to waste, try one of these recipes instead. They’re so delicious you might just let your bananas turn brown on purpose.

Why high-functioning people fail to do simple chores…like clean filthy water cups in the bedroom
June 02, 2019 at 06:00AM by CWC “I’ve had water glasses on my nightstand longer than Justin Bieber and Hailey Baldwin have been married,” I thought to myself during my last session of anxiety-induced cleaning. During that purge of all the drinks in my room that I neither bothered to finish nor take to the sink to clean, I found one cup with brown fluid in it (it was not coffee, tea, or soda, friends), while another held what I can only assume to be mold. What is wrong with us me? Why do I hoard glasses by my bed instead of taking 30 seconds to wash them, or even 15 seconds to leave them in the kitchen sink indefinitely? Ultimately, and pretty obviously, this doesn’t happen because cleaning them is hard to do. Rather, the problem is that it’s such an easy chore that when it comes to prioritizing tasks, things like this fall hard in the “nonurgent” camp. “While it may seem like an impossible feat to do simple tasks like empty the dishwasher or move the cup of water next to our bed, it’s not a lack of awareness, but rather a low-risk choice,” says psychotherapist Jennifer Silvershein, LCSW. “In any given moment, there are a copious amount of tasks and achievements we must make to keep our life moving. While the dishes are piling up, and we know that it seems easy to clean them and put them away, there really is no harm—and therefore, no urgency—in

The underrated vitamin that you should def be eating on the regular
June 02, 2019 at 04:00AM by CWC Amongst the myriad of vitamins and minerals filling our medicine capsules, there are some that are bound to get lost in the shuffle. Vitamin K is one of those micronutrients that often gets glossed over in favor of vitamin D or magnesium, but it plays a crucial role in our bodies. Some hints: stronger bones and supporting healthy blood function. Not too shabby, eh? Vitamin K is a fat-soluble vitamin, which means it’s stored in fat tissue so our bodies can reap the benefits later when needed. Brigitte Zeitlin, RD, says this differs from water-soluble vitamins like C and B, which leave the body quicker. There are technically two types of K vitamins: K1 (phylloquinone) and K2 (menaquinones), which is made mostly by gut bacteria. And both of them are important for your overall health. While topical use of vitamin K might banish those embarrassing hickeys, here are some internal health benefits that prove why it deserves its own blue ribbon. What are the most important vitamin K benefits? 1. Vitamin K supports proper blood clotting: “Vitamin K1 is essential for our bodies to produce prothrombin, a protein that allows our blood to clot and stop the bleeding,” Zeitlin says. It also contains four of the 13 proteins essential for blood clotting. Next time you trip on the cold, hard concrete and scrape your need to oblivion? Thank K for doing the heavy lifting to quickly heal your wound. 2. It helps us
