How to Eat ‘Healthy’ in a World Full of Processed Food

Our world is full of processed food, for better or worse. It would be easy for me to sit at my keyboard and tell you to avoid it and eat foods in forms closest to how they are in nature: apples, not apple pie. But just because something is “processed” (whatever that means) doesn’t automatically make it bad for you. It’s time to lose the guilt and own up to eating processed food sometimes—and maybe we’ll see it’s not that bad.Don’t obsess over how processed each food isHere’s the hard part: defining processed food. Doritos, processed. Not a tough call there. Raw potato with the dirt still on it: unprocessed. So far so good. But if we wash that potato, boil it, maybe peel it too...mix it with butter, and garlic (and then more butter, and more garlic)—uh-oh. That’s kind of processed, isn’t it...

Why People Are Taping Fitbits to Their Arms

We may earn a commission from links on this page. The beauty of a smart band is that it isn’t a watch and doesn’t need to act like one. That includes where you wear it: Whoop has the right idea with their bicep band and “any-wear” clothing. Since Google hasn’t released a bicep band for the Fitbit Air, some users are taking matters into their own hands—with rolls of tape. I’ve watched this trend unfold on the Fitbit Air subreddit, as one person after another realizes they can just tape the device to their arm, or anywhere they want. I’ve actually done something like this before—years ago, I found myself trying to fit the Whoop onto my ankle, and then thought, wait a sec, can’t I just tape it to the side of my leg? (I did, and it worked.)  Why are people taping Fitbits ...
