5 Houseplants So Tough They Can Survive Weeks Without Light And Water

1. Ponytail Palm Long, grasslike leaves atop a bare stem give ponytail palm (Beaucarnea recurvata) a palm tree-like appearance, although it’s actually a type of succulent.

5 Ways To Make The Flu Shot More Effective

That said, the flu shot only offers between 40 to 60 percent efficacy, and results vary depending on who is getting it. (And if you’re a child, immunocompromised—those with heart disease, diabetes, asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)—or over 65, that should definitely include you.) Luckily, there are ways to boost this percentage—but unfortunately, getting a COVID-19 vaccine isn’t one one of them. “Although both the flu and COVID are caused by viruses and have some overlapping symptoms, there is no evidence of the COVID vaccines protecting against influenza,” says Venky Soundararajan, PhD, co-founder and chief scientific officer of the biotech information company Nference....

Air-Dry Vs. Blow-Dry—Which Is Better For Hair Health?

Reader question: Should I let my thinning hair air-dry to prevent more breakage? —Sandra Maxwell After years of being trained that heat = bad, it’s a universally held belief that blow-drying our hair is worse than air-drying. But here’s the kicker: Studies have shown otherwise. Take a study at Yonsei University in Korea, which compared air-drying with heat-drying.
