Prep and Cook Time: 15 minutes
Ingredients:
- 1/2 medium onion, sliced thin
- 2 TBS white wine or apple cider vinegar
- 1 cup hot water
- 5 oz baby spinach
- 2 TBS balsamic vinegar
- 1/2 tsp honey

- 8 dried figs, sliced
- 2 TBS chopped walnuts
Directions:
- Slice onion and let sit for at least 5 minutes to enhance its health-promoting properties.
- Marinate sliced onion in 2 TBS white wine or apple cider vinegar and hot water for 10 minutes while preparing rest of ingredients.

Skipping a few meals with intermittent fasting may help people avoid cancer, diabetes, and heart disease - Article
This is a piece of advice that cultures and religions around the world have been taking for centuries.
In recent years, a version of this practice called intermittent fasting, where people skip eating anywhere from several hours to several days in a row, has started taking off. Hugh Jackman once said he only eats for a strict 8 hours each day, and Silicon Valley biohackers are embracing a 36-hour water-only "Monk fast," as they call it, which some perform once a week.

Are you guilty of these bad home habits? Article
The Bad: Letting gutters stay cluttered.
We all know we're supposed to clean out the gutters at least twice a year, but many of us just never seem to get around to it. Unfortunately, that sets us up for water damage on the roof and even the foundation as water spills out and down along the sides of the house rather than being directed away from the foundation. (Not to mention, clogged gutters are an excellent breeding ground for mosquitoes. No, thanks!)
The Good: Clean them regularly or cover them.
For DIYers, be sure you use a ladder that does not need to lean against the soft metal gutters for support, which could cause more damage by bending or warping them. Not into heights? There are gutter cleaning companies that can also check for breakages and check over your roof at the same time, giving you a heads up on potential issues before they become real problems. (Almost) never want to think about it again? Check out gutter guards and screens. There are many varieties, including some that work better in cold-weather climes, so be sure to do your homework before choosing one. And remember they aren't totally maintenance free!
The Bad: Using one cleaning product for everything.
Granite counters, bamboo floors, and tile foyers need to be maintained with cleaners made especially for them. Using a one-size-fits-all formula can break down protective finishes, leave residues, and even create marks and stains.
The Good: Go natural or go specific.
All-natural cleaners are generally safe to use on multiple types of finishes. For example, vinegar is generally safe for wood and tile - but it's not recommended for granite or marble. To really ensure you're caring for your finishes properly and keep them looking their best for as long as possible, use cleaners specifically designed for the material you need to clean.
The Bad: Dumping everything down the drain.
Even though you have a garbage disposal, it's not meant to chop up half a plate's worth of spaghetti or the peels from a pound of potatoes. And you should never put anything down the toilet except toilet paper: not tissues, or paper towels, or cotton balls. Even "flushable" wipes really aren't good for your pipes or the sewer system. And while there are plenty of de-cloggers on the market these days, many are extremely corrosive and can damage your pipes, especially older ones, leading to extremely costly plumbing repairs.
The Good: When in doubt, throw it out.
Prevention here is key. To help protect your drains and pipes, remember these rules:
 | Your garbage disposal is not an alternative trash can. It's for little bits and pieces of biodegradable food products, and never for coffee grounds, pasta, stone fruit pits, potato peels, non-food items, or grease (we're looking at you, bacon lovers). | ||||||
| Install screens on sink and bathtub drains to prevent hairs from going down the tubes. | ||||||
| Flush drains regularly with hot water. Yep, just plain hot water can help keep them open and clear. | ||||||
| Clean sink stoppers and the rubber flanges in your kitchen sink regularly and well to prevent odor-causing bacteria from settling in.
