The benefit held steady even when total exercise time stayed the same. People with the most exercise variety had a 19% lower risk of premature mortality. Weve all heard that getting enough exercise is key to staying healthybut recent research suggests how you move may matter just as much as how much. A study highlighted by the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health found that people who regularly mix up their physical activities think walking one day, strength training another, maybe even gardening or yoga tend to live longer than those who stick to just one type. The idea isnt to overhaul your routine overnight. Instead, the findings point to something surprisingly simple: variety itself may offer added health benefits, even if your total exercise time doesnt change People naturally choose different activities over time based on their preferences and health conditions. When deciding how to exercise, keep in mind that there may be extra health benefits to engaging in multiple types of physical activity, rather than relying on a single type alone, corresponding author Yang Hu, research scientist in the Department of Nutrition, said in a news release. The study The study, published in BMJ Medicine, followed more than 111,000 adults across two long-running datasets: the Nurses Health Study and the Health Professionals Follow-Up Study. Participants were tracked for over 30 years, regularly reporting their physical activity habits from walking and running to swimming, weightlifting, and even yardwork. Researchers didnt just look at how much people exercised. They also created a variety score, based on how many different types of activities participants did consistently. Then they compared those scores with long-term health outcomes, including deaths from all causes as well as specific conditions like heart disease and cancer. To make the findings more reliable, the analysis accounted for other factors that could influence health, such as lifestyle habits and medical history. It also excluded participants with major diseases at the start and used long follow-up periods to better capture real-world patterns. What the study found and why it matters The results were striking:… [TheTopNews] Read More.2 hours ago
- Are you skipping health insurance? More Americans are asking that questionRising premiums are pushing consumers to reconsider coverage but going without it comes with real risks By Kristen Dalli of ConsumerAffairs April 27, 2026 Rising health insurance premiums are pushing more Americans to question whether they can afford to keep coverage or go without it entirely. Online searches for cheap and lower-premium plans are surging, signaling growing financial strain and shifting consumer behavior. Experts warn that going uninsured can come with penalties in some states and serious financial risks, but there may still be ways to lower costs and stay covered. As health insurance premiums climb, more consumers are starting to ask a question that once felt unthinkable: Can I afford to go without coverage altogether? New data from healthinsurance.org suggests this isnt just a passing concern its part of a broader shift in how people are responding to higher costs. ConsumerAffairs spoke with Louise Norris, a health policy analyst at healthinsurance.org, who explained that these trends reflect mounting financial pressure but also some confusion about what going uninsured actually means. While skipping coverage might seem like a way to save money in the short term, there are still potential penalties in some states and significant financial risks if something goes wrong. The current state of the health care market The report from healthinsurance.org found that there has been a recent surge in search terms like "cheap health insurance" and "catastrophic health insurance." This is indicative of a market where people are struggling with the premiums they have to pay to maintain their coverage, Norris said. The expiration of federal subsidy enhancements caused sticker shock that people began to experience last fall when they got their renewal notices for their Marketplace coverage. Search interest in these terms has continued to grow sharply in early 2026, which could stem from the fact that nearly 9 million people let their Marketplace coverage auto-renew for 2026. Some of these enrollees might not have been aware of how much their net premiums would increase in 2026, leading to increased search interest for lower-cost coverage after the start of the year. Driving premiums higher Over the next several weeks, health insurance plans will be filing their proposed rates and plans for 2027 coverage. What does this mean for the future? We haven't yet seen the proposed rates that carriers will be filing, Norris said.… [TheTopNews] Read More.2 hours ago

- Americans are throwing away hundreds a year in food—here’s how to stop itThe hidden grocery bill draining your wallet every week By Kyle James of ConsumerAffairs April 27, 2026 Americans waste about $728 a year on food, often throwing away everyday items like bread, milk, and produce. Most people misunderstand date labels best by usually refers to quality, not safety, leading to unnecessary waste. Simple habits like meal planning, checking your fridge, and freezing food can quickly cut waste and save hundreds. With Stop Food Waste Day right around the corner on April 29th, its a good time to take a closer look at one of the most overlooked ways Americans are losing money. Its not subscriptions. Its not those impulse buys. Its food theyre throwing away. According to data from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the average American wastes about $728 worth of edible food every year. For a typical household, that number can easily climb into the thousands. And much of it comes down to a simple misunderstanding. The biggest mistake shoppers are making Most people believe food date labels tell them when something is no longer safe to eat. But it turns out labels like best by or best if used by are more about quality and freshness, not safety. The only major exception is infant formula. Still, a recent survey found that 73% of Americans think these dates mean food should be thrown out, and that number jumps to 88% among Gen Z. This translates into perfectly good food getting tossed in huge numbers. Where the money is going The average household wastes hundreds to thousands of dollars annually. Large states like California may be throwing away tens of billions of dollars in food each year. Even smaller cities lose millions in edible food. And its not just obscure items getting tossed. The most commonly wasted foods are everyday staples like: Bread Lettuce Milk Chicken Why its getting worse Younger shoppers, in particular, are throwing away the most food, with some estimates showing they discard up to 30% of what they buy. The reason is a mix of these: Confusion over food labels Overbuying (especially in bulk) Poor meal planning Busy schedules leading to unused leftovers In other words, people are buying more than they can realistically use. How to actually save money (starting this week) In addition to conducting the survey, NetCredit gave… [TheTopNews] Read More.3 hours ago
