There is something so satisfying about drinking homemade nut and seed milks. You may not realize how easy a nut or seed milk is to make until you finally do it. If you have a blender, nuts or seeds, water, and a few extra ingredients for flavoring, you are in business! Just make sure you have some cheesecloth, a nut milk bag, or fine mesh sieve to strain your non-dairy milk. We do highly encourage you to purchase a nut milk bag because it makes the process so much easier. 

Why make your own non-dairy milks when there are so many varieties available in grocery stores? First off, there are many promising store bought versions made by reputable brands. However, there are many varieties that have problems that begin in production. There are various preservatives, additives, and flavorings given to otherwise neutral-tasting non-dairy milks to make them more appealing. Carrageenan is the most problematic ingredient because it is a common thickener and emulsifier. 

Derived from seaweed and considered a “natural” ingredient, carrageenan can cause inflammation and gut irritation. Upon entering the gut, carrageenan signals the body to react in the same way as if it were to encounter dangerous bacteria. That results in gastrointestinal inflammation, which is not something you want to experience when enjoying something as simple as non-dairy milk. 

To help you avoid all of that, here are 10 of our favorite non-dairy milk recipes. We hope you love them!

Overhead presses, lateral raises, and rows are just some of the simple exercises that can help build stability in your shoulders. By engaging in regular resistance training for your shoulders, specifically your deltoids, you can help remain functionally fit. Your deltoids are the rounded muscles that cover your shoulder joint. Spending time strengthening your deltoids can not only help you develop shoulder strength and mass, but also increase stability, which reduces the risk of injury. 

Lateral Raise

Overlooking the medial deltoids is easy to do, as traditional “push” and “pull” lifts target anterior and posterior deltoids. Lateral raises can help round out your shoulder workout by engaging the middle deltoids that work to stabilize the shoulder. To do this exercise:

• Grab a set of dumbbells and stand with your feet hip-distance apart and arms by your sides. Your palms should face inward. 
• Stabilize your core and raise your arms to about shoulder height, maintaining a slight bend in your elbows. Make sure the weight is not too heavy that it causes you pain in the shoulder joints. 
• Pause for a second at the top and lower your arms slowly. Complete three sets of 10 reps. 

Front Raise Pull-Apart

This exercise calls for a resistance band and is a two-part shoulder exercise that engages all three heads of the deltoid: the posterior, anterior, and medial. Here’s how you do it:

• Grab a large resistance band of your desired tension and loop it under the arches of your feet, which should be hip-distance apart. 
• Stand up straight and hold the other end of the resistance band with your hands about shoulder-width apart. 
• Keep your core engaged as you lift your hands to shoulder height, keeping your arms straight. It’s totally fine if you bend your elbows a little. 
• From this position, keep your arms straight as you pull the band apart and bring your arms slightly out to the sides. Pause for a second and then draw your arms inward and lower them to the starting position. Complete three sets of 10 reps. 

Overhead Press

According to research, the overhead press activates the anterior and medial deltoid more than other popular shoulder exercises. You have the freedom to use a barbell or dumbbells, but using a barbell can help you lift heavier loads with more stability. To do the exercise:

• Stand up straight with your feet hip-distance apart. You can be seated on a shoulder press bench with a barbell, seated under a Smith machine, or holding two dumbbells in front of each shoulder. Your elbows should be out to the sides. 
• Keep your core engaged and spine straight as you press the dumbbells or bar overhead to straighten your arms. 
• Pause for a second before lowering the weight to the starting position. Complete three sets of 10 reps. 

Face Pull

This is another exercise that calls for a resistance band, but you can also do this with a cable machine at the gym. The banded face pull works to enhance stability and strength, especially in the posterior deltoids. To do the exercise:

• Secure your resistance band to a pole or stationary object and ensure that it is eye level. 
• Grab the other end of the resistance band with your hands, ensuring they are shoulder-width apart. Keep your arms straight and step back until there is tension on the band.
• Keep your core engaged and pull the band back toward your face, squeezing your shoulder blades together. 
• Hold for a second and then return to the starting position. Complete three sets of 10 reps. 

Bent-Over Row

Engage your upper body, core, and your shoulders with the bent-over row exercise. Leaning forward requires strength and stability in your core and lower back, while the rowing motion activates your upper- and mid-back, shoulder, and arm muscles. To do the exercise:

• Grab a pair of dumbbells and hold them by your sides as you stand with your feet hip-distance apart. Face your palms toward your body. 
• Hinge at the hips, pushing your butt back and lowering your chest so that your torso is at a 45-degree angle. 
• Drop your arms down toward the floor and then pull the dumbbells toward you, keeping your elbows close to your body.
• Pause and then slowly lower the dumbbells back down. Complete three sets of 10 reps.

We have to warn you about something: once you try this lemon basil vinaigrette, you won’t be able to forge it. You may use up the first batch so quickly that you have to make it three more times in the same week! Due to the slightly tangy, herbaceous, and and refreshing flavor, this vinaigrette goes great with various salad ingredients. You can even use it in a grain bowl once you finish cleansing.

There are many lemons to use for this dressing, but we recommend Meyer lemons if you can get your hands on them. Meyer lemons offer a slightly sweeter flavor that lends itself to dressings and lemonade. Just make sure that you zest the lemon with a microplane before you juice it. The lemon zest adds more of a citrus punch to this vinaigrette. The real star of the show, and the culprit behind the color, is fresh basil leaves. Do not use dried basil because you will not get the same flavor, nor will you have the vibrant color or volume required for this vinaigrette. You can pick leaves from a plant or use basil leaves that you buy in the store.

An important step for this basil vinaigrette is that you do not want to add all of the ingredients to the food processor at once. You can add everything except the olive oil. Once everything else is blending, you can drizzle in the olive oil during the blending process. By taking that extra step, you are left with is a smooth, emulsified, bright green basil vinaigrette that is to die for. If you don’t love it, we’ll take it!

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is currently monitoring a deadly hantavirus outbreak, which took place on a cruise ship in the Atlantic Ocean on May 2, 2026. The World Health Organization (WHO) confirmed that the type of hantavirus responsible for the outbreak is the Andes virus. This virus can lead to hantavirus pulmonary syndrome (HPS), which is a severe and potentially life-threatening disease that affects the lungs. 

The latest reports confirm that 18 passengers from the cruise ship at the center of the hantavirus outbreak are back in the U.S. They are being monitored at various medical units. Reporters say that 16 of those 18 people, including at least one who tested positive, are in Nebraska. Two others are at Emory University in Atlanta, Georgia. All 16 people in Nebraska are asymptomatic, and one person in Atlanta is experiencing symptoms, according to health officials. 

What Is Hantavirus?

The first case of this class of virus was identified in the Hantaan River area in Korea. Mice and other rodents tend to carry the hantavirus, although humans can contract the disease when they come in contact with infected rodents or their urine, droppings, or saliva. Researchers first identified hantavirus in the U.S. in 1993, but has since been identified throughout the country. It is quite rare, but the disease is potentially deadly, especially if it involves the kidneys, lungs, or heart. 

What Are The Symptoms?

Hantavirus is interesting because it can have a long incubation period (the time between a person is infected and when they experience symptoms). It typically ranges from two to three weeks, but it can be as long as eight weeks. Health experts note that early symptoms include fever, fatigue, and muscle aches, especially in larger muscle groups, such as the hips, thighs, and back. Roughly 50% of infected people experience headaches, chills, dizziness, and stomach troubles, such as nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea. It’s possible for coughing and shortness of breath (as the lungs fill with fluid) to occur four to 10 days following the onset of mild symptoms. 

How Do You Contract Hantavirus?

Researchers explain that hantavirus is primarily contracted when people come in contact with rodents like rats or mice, especially when exposed to their urine, droppings, or saliva. Human-to-human spread of hantavirus is highly unusual, but it may have occurred in the current outbreak on the cruise ship off the coast of Cape Verde. This is a rare type of hantavirus, the Andes virus, which still may rarely spread from person to person. Typically, hantavirus infections are not considered high risk to the public because of how rare they are and how rarely the virus spreads between people.

Treatment For Hantavirus

There is no specific treatment for hantavirus infection. The antiviral drug ribavirin is occasionally recommended because it has proven efficacy for a specific type of hantavirus infection that causes kidney failure. That said, it has not proven effective for heart and lung involvement. People who recognize signs of the infection early and seek care immediately may have a better outcome than those who wait to seek care. If healthcare professionals recognize the illness early, patients receive oxygen therapy to help get them through the period of respiratory distress. 

This is an evolving situation and health experts aim to learn more about the Andes hantavirus as things progress. Current assessments show no increased signs of risk of people who are traveling, though.

The graviola fruit, or soursop, is a tasty fruit that’s popular for its refreshing flavor and impressive health benefits. It offers a lot of fiber and vitamin C with few calories and has gained popularity as a remedy for various viruses. Some believe that it aids with pain relief and may even prevent certain types of cancer. Does the research back the hype? Continue reading to find out. 

What Is Soursop?

It is a fruit with a prickly green exterior and bright white flesh that has a creamy texture. Many compare the vibrant flavor to pineapple or strawberry. Typically eaten raw, soursop contains large black seeds that you must avoid. The fruits can be quite large, so it’s best to divide a single fruit into several portions. A typical 100-gram (g) serving of raw soursop exhibits the following nutritional profile: 

• Calories: 66
• Carbohydrates: 16.8 g
• Protein: 1 g
• Fiber: 3.3 g
• Vitamin C: 34% of the recommended daily intake (RDI)
• Magnesium: 5% of the RDI
• Thiamine: 5% of the RDI
• Potassium: 8% of the RDI

In addition to the above nutritional profile, soursop also contains small amounts of niacin, folate, iron, and riboflavin. Many parts of the fruit, including the leaves, stems, and fruit, have been used for their medicinal properties. Some animal and test-tube studies found that it may reduce inflammation and slow the growth of certain cancers. 

Anti-Inflammatory Activity

A 2010 rodent study found that soursop was able to block pain receptors and reduced inflammation in rats. A 2014 rodent study noted that soup soursop’s anti-inflammatory properties may be useful in relieving pain. Although research is currently limited to animal studies, these findings may open the door for future treatment in humans. In fact, one study found that soursop helped lower inflammatory markers associated with arthritis. 

Helps Fight Bacteria

In one test-tube study, soursop extract worked to fight off the bacteria responsible for staph and cholera infections. Another test-test-tube study used soursop extracts of varying concentrations on different types of bacteria responsible for oral diseases. According to the results, soursop effectively killed off multiple types of bacteria, including the strains that cause gingivitis and tooth decay. 

May Regulate Blood Sugar

One study, which included diabetic rats, received soursop extract injections for two weeks. The rats that received the injections had blood sugar levels five times lower than the untreated groups. In another study involving diabetic rats that received soursop extract injections, the results indicated a near 75% reduction in blood sugar. Although more research is necessary in humans, these findings in animal studies suggest that soursop may benefit people with diabetes. However, those people must also pair soursop consumption with a healthy diet and active lifestyle. 

May Help Kill Cancer Cells

Although this is an exciting claim, it’s worth noting that most research is currently limited to test-tube studies. For example, one test-tube study used soursop extract to treat breast cancer cells. The extract was able to reduce tumor size, enhance immune activity, and kill off cancer cells. Another test-tube study examined soursop extract’s effects on leukemia cells. The results indicated that soursop extract stopped the growth and formation of leukemia cells. 

Antioxidants Galore!

Most of soursop’s health benefits stem from the fruit’s inherent antioxidant compounds. Antioxidants work to neutralize free radicals, which if left unchecked can contribute to oxidative stress. According to several studies, antioxidants may play a role in reducing the risk of heart disease, cancer, diabetes, and other health conditions. One test-tube study measured soursop’s antioxidants and showed how they prevented damage to human cells. Soursop also contains plant compounds, including luteolin, tangeretin, and quercetin, all of which are beneficial to humans. 

May Lower Blood Pressure

Historically, different cultures used soursop as a folk remedy to lower blood pressure levels. If your blood pressure is unmanaged, your risk of heart disease and stroke is heightened. A 2012 animal study used soursop on rats with high blood pressure and found that it helped lower blood pressure. Researchers noted that soursop exhibited hypotensive abilities due to its effect on calcium ions.
