I sometimes enjoy Women's Health Magazine, but once when reading an article about the befits of drinking milk, they referred to milk as "moo juice." It seems like a small thing (and it is, I'm just weird) but it rubbed me the WRONG way. I decided to go on a hunting spree for some websites that felt more informative and scientific. Below are three that I really like, plus a bonus four that I'm still getting to know.
1. Health: This magazine is a step up from the previous two magazines in terms of article quality and writing approach. I can still subscribe and get a print magazine, but the online articles are accessible to anyone. Although obviously geared toward women it puts less emphasis on celebrities and fad diets that a lot of women's magazines out there.
2. Web MD: This website offers easily accessible and understandable information with a more scientific background. It's my go-to first stop for health and wellness information or brushing up on medical problems before (in instead of) a doctors visit. I was also impressed with a publication I found in my university pharmacy waiting area that Web MD put out for college-age people. It was well researched and addressed issues accurately, rather than so many pamphlets put out for that age group that seem to treat all college students as drinking/pot smoking/bags of promiscuity. OMG you are going to get an STD!
3. Runners World: I'm a subscriber. Although I'll admit that it has little to offer you if you aren't a runner, if you have ever had an interest in starting, this magazine always has really good advice for beginners. And as a (dare we say) intermediate runner I still get a lot of good information and motivation for the website and print editions.
Bonus:
1. National Institute of Health
2. Well Pages
3. Health Central
4. Everyday Health
These all seem like websites that contain great information in a format that is easy to brows. Taken together they all have really great information that helps keep me educated and motivated.
