  • Do This to Avoid COVID, Says New CDC Chief

    For most of the last year, health experts have been urging Americans to protect themselves and others from COVID-19. However, with the arrival of the new virus variants, it has never been more crucial. During the first public briefing of President Joe Biden's Coronavirus Task Force, the new Director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Rochelle P. Walensky, MD, MPH, expressed concern about the mutations currently identified in the United States, and revealed a few of the best ways to avoid them. Read on to hear what she had to say—and to ensure your health and the health of others, don't miss these Sure Signs You've Already Had Coronavirus. 1 First of All, Be Careful Out There. The New Variants Are "More Transmissible" "I know that there are concerns about the variants," Dr. Walensky said. "Viruses mutate, and we have always expected that variante would emerge and we have been looking with them." The new variants "seem to spread more easily," she revealed. "They're more transmissible, which can lead to an increased number of cases and increase stress on our already taxed healthcare system." She also shared the latest statistics involving them in the United States—308 cases of the UK variant confirmed in 26 States as of January 26th and one case of the P1 variant first detected in Brazil. "The CDC is committed to working with international and state and local partners and increasing surveillance to monitor the situation and share as soon as we learn more," she added. "The emergence of variants underscores the need for public health action." 2 Get Vaccinated The number one way to protect yourself against the virus and the new variants is to "get vaccinated when it is your turn," says Dr. Walensky. Also, she encourages doing your part to get others to do the same. "Some people may need help getting vaccinated," she said. "Please consider helping your neighbors and loved ones schedule or travel to their appointments." 3 Wear a Mask Protective face coverings are one of the most important tools in preventing the spread of COVID. And, they are just as relative now as they were in the spring, according to Dr. Walensky. 4 Practice Social Distancing The CDC suggests keeping a six-foot distance between yourself and others to prevent respiratory spread of the virus. 5 Wash Your Hands Hand hygiene is another CDC-endorsed method of protecting yourself and others from the virus. 6 Avoid Travel There is no better time to cancel your travel plans. "Now is not the time to travel," Dr. Walensky asserted. "But if you must, be safe and follow the CDC guidelines." This includes wearing a mask as well as testing and quarantining protocol. RELATED: If You Feel This, You May Have Already Had COVID, Says Dr. Fauci 7 Do Your Part "Please do your part to get cases down by simply taking these actions," Dr. Walensky concluded. So follow public health fundamentals and help end this surge, no matter where you live—wear a face mask, social distance, avoid large crowds, don't go indoors with people you're not sheltering with (especially in bars), practice good hand hygiene, get vaccinated when it becomes available to you, and to protect your life and the lives of others, don't visit any of these 35 Places You're Most Likely to Catch COVID.

  • Here's How Much Coffee You Can Have in a Day, According to the Mayo Clinic

    Is there really such a thing as having too much coffee? Hate to break it to you, but yes. You really can have too much of a good thing. But when it comes to the actual limit of how much coffee you can have in a day, the number is a lot higher than you would expect. In fact, according to the Mayo Clinic, you can have at least four cups of coffee on a daily basis!Sound almost impossible? Let's do the math. According to the Mayo Clinic, an average adult is allowed 400 milligrams of caffeine in a day. Given that a normal 8 oz. cup of coffee has around 100 milligrams of caffeine, you can drink up to four cups in order to stay safe. That means you can have up to 28 ounces of coffee a day!RELATED: Here are The 7 Healthiest Foods to Eat Right Now.Surprisingly, caffeine has a lot of great health benefits for a person's body. According to one study published by Longevity&Healthspan, drinking caffeine on a regular basis can actually extend your life. Caffeine also improves your memory and mental functioning, speeds up your reaction times, and of course, decreases your fatigue. Even the AARP says drinking coffee on a regular basis can increase longevity compared to coffee abstainers!But as we said, there is such thing as having too much caffeine. According to Healthline, drinking more than 1,000 milligrams of caffeine a day can cause negative effects on the body including increased anxiety, insomnia, and digestive issues. And while drinking caffeinated coffee has shown to increase longevity, drinking too much coffee can actually have the opposite effect.By drinking more than four cups of coffee, the Mayo Clinic some serious side effects including frequent headaches, insomnia, nervousness, irritability, frequent urination, fast heartbeat, muscle tremors, and more. It can also wreak havoc on your sleep patterns if you're drinking coffee later in the afternoon. The Mayo Clinic points out that "even small amounts of sleep loss can add up and disturb your daytime alertness and performance."So do yourself a favor and cap your caffeine intake at four cups of coffee a day. And while having a sugary mocha once in a blue moon is a fun treat, typically those frothy beverages are drowning in added sugars. It's best to keep your coffee black or to fill it with some milk, plant-based alternatives, or low-sugar creamers.And if you're in need of a hot beverage in the late afternoon, you can always brew yourself a pot of green tea—which is also full of all kinds of health benefits!Get even more healthy tips straight to your inbox by signing up for our newsletter.
