The best canes for 2025, according to mobility experts

Independence becomes more elusive as we age. Time wears on our joints, weakens our muscles, and interferes with our sense of balance. Many of us need help walking at some point, but thankfully there are products designed to fit this exact need. Walking canes have been around perhaps longer than any other mobility aid, but they’re far from obsolete.

“Canes are essential for reducing the load on an affected limb or joint, which helps alleviate pain and improve overall mobility,” says Dr. James Mortensen, PT, DPT, and Regional Director of FYZICAL Therapy and Balance Center. “They promote better postural alignment, support dynamic balance, and can significantly decrease the risk of falls, especially in individuals with gait instability or weakness.”

Effects of spanking on kids' brains

Science tells a different story. Researchers say physical punishment actually alters the brain -- not only in an "I'm traumatized" kind of way but also in an "I literally have less gray matter in my brain" kind of way.

Harsh corporal punishment in the study was defined as at least one spanking a month for more than three years, frequently done with objects such as a belt or paddle. Researchers found children who were regularly spanked had less gray matter in certain areas of the prefrontal cort

5 Scary Chemicals That Are Still On The Market

Chemicals get a bad rap, but they're not all evil. Many are natural and essential for your survival (ever heard of H2O?) and others are synthetic—but that's not really what's most important when it comes it your well-being. Some man-made chemicals, for example, keep your clothes clean, lower your risk of cavities, and treat a throbbing headache (or worse). That said, there are other compounds that appear to be downright toxic, especially if you're exposed to them in large enough quantities.
