The word dessert was first used in the 16th or 17th century and originated from the French words desservir, which means "to clear the table" and servir "to serve". Some people believe the first desserts were honey mixed with nuts, fruits, or simple grains.

We created a fun word search game listing different desserts. Can you find them all?

Metastatic breast cancer, is also known as Stage IV or advanced breast cancer. It occurs when cancer cells spread from breast tissue to other areas such as bone, lung, liver, or brain. It is classified as incurable but can be highly treatable, with therapies aimed at slowing growth, managing symptoms, and extending survival.

20–30% of people with early-stage breast cancer eventually develop metastatic disease. About 6% are diagnosed with de novo metastatic cancer at their initial presentation. Common symptoms depend on the site of spread and may include bone pain, shortness of breath, jaundice, or neurological changes.
05% to 1% of all breast caser cases are men and usually occurs after the age of 60. Because it is a lesser-known cancer in males their 5-year survival rate is significantly lower than women.

Treatment can involve systemic therapies, including chemotherapy, targeted therapy (e.g., for HER2-positive or BRCA-mutated cancers), hormonal therapy, and immunotherapy. While a cure is not currently available, there have been advancements in research which allow many patients to live longer with a maintained quality of life.

Benefits of walking
1. Boost your mood
Research shows that 10 minutes of walking can make you feel better. The effect may be even greater if you walk through greenery or with another person.

2. Maintain a healthy weight
Regular walking can help reduce fat and support healthy weight. Plan routes that include different terrains and change your walking speed.

3. Help heart health
Every 500 additional steps taken daily was associated with 14% lower risk of heart disease, stroke, or heart failure, especially for older adults. In 2025 The Lancet Public Health published scientific review that found people who walked a minimum of 7,000 steps a day had a 25% lower risk of cardiovascular disease and an overall 47% lower risk of death.

4. Lower risk of chronic diseases
A 2022 study shown that walking can reduce your risk for a variety of chronic diseases. It showed that walking around 7,731 steps a day effectively reduced the risk of chronic conditions, including obesity, sleep apnea, gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), major depressive disorder (MDD), type 2 diabetes, and hypertension. It also found that walking even more steps continued to increase walking’s benefits for nearly every health condition studied.

5. Lower blood sugar levels
The American Diabetes Association recommends walking to lower blood sugar levels and overall risk for type 2 diabetes. A 2022 study showed that just two minutes of walking after eating can help lower blood sugar, but, for disease prevention, longer walks are key. One-hour long walks are recommended once or twice a week.

6. Help stress
Walking can help lower stress, lower cortisol, and feel more relaxed. One scientific review of 75 randomized controlled trials found that walking was an effective way to reduce symptoms of depression and anxiety. Research also showed that taking a stroll outside can make a huge difference, too. A 2022 study found that an hour-long walk in nature decreases activity in brain regions involved in stress processing.

7. Improve sleep
Working out regularly can help you sleep better at night. Physical activity naturally boosts the effects of melatonin, the sleep hormone. Healthy adults who walked daily had a positive impact on sleep quality and length of sleep.

8. Boost brainpower
Walking can improve brain function. Experts think these benefits could be due in part to increased blood flow to the brain that occurs with exercise. A 2025 study showed that doing short bursts of exercise that raise your heart rate, like brisk walking, can help boost cognitive performance.

9. Alleviate joint pain
Walking can help improve range of motion and mobility because walking increases blood flow to tense areas and helps strengthen the muscles surrounding your joints. Researchers found that people with knee osteoarthritis were more likely to stick with walking over other types of physical activity.

10. Delay the onset of varicose veins
Walking is a proven way to prevent varicose veins from developing. If you already have varicose veins, daily walking can help ease related swelling and restlessness in your legs and can help delay the onset.

11. Stimulate the digestive system
Regular walking can greatly improve bowel movements.

12. Kickstart your immune system
Moderate-intensity exercise—and walking in particular—ramps up immune systems. It increases the number of immune cells that attack pathogens in our body, which may lower your risk of becoming seriously ill from infectious diseases. One study even found those who walked regularly could reduce their risk of dying from pneumonia compared to those who don’t exercise regularly.

13. Protect bones
Walking can also help keep bones strong and healthy, reducing your risk for bone loss later in life. A 2022 study found that long-term brisk walking is an efficient way to improve bone density. Specifically, taking brisk walks for 30 minutes per day three or more times per week is recommended to prevent bone loss in premenopausal women.

14. Boost longevity
Walking can help add years to your life and it doesn’t take much to see results. A 2025 study found that daily walks of 8,000 or more steps was linked to a lower risk of dying from any cause over the 10-year study period compared to people who took walks of five minutes or less. The faster you walk, the more your risk drops.

15. Lower Alzheimer’s risk
Research suggests that a walking habit could help lower your Alzheimer’s risk. A Nature Medicine study analyzed data from 296 people between the ages of 50 and 90 who participated in the Harvard Aging Brain Study. Researchers found that people with higher step counts had lower rates of cognitive decline. Those who were at higher risk of developing Alzheimer’s disease who walked 3,000 to 5,000 steps a day saw cognitive decline that was delayed by three years. Those who logged 5,000 to 7,500 steps a day had cognitive decline delayed by seven years. They also had a slower buildup of tau tangles, a marker of Alzheimer’s disease, in the brain.

How many steps should I walk a day?
10,000 steps a day is not needed to see benefits. A 2021 study published in JAMA Network Open found that people ages 38 to 50, 7,000 steps was associated with a lower mortality rate. And a 2025 study published in British Journal of Sports Medicine found that people who walked a minimum of 4,000 steps daily at least three days a week had a 40% lower risk of dying.

Is walking 30 minutes a day enough?
Any movement is better than none. The more you walk, the more benefits you’ll see over time.

Is it better to walk faster or longer?
Several studies have shown over the years that walking faster is better for you and your long-term health. A 2021 study published in Cancer Epidemiology, Biomarkers & Prevention looked at more than 200,000 cancer survivors between the ages of 50 and 71 and found that those who walked at the slowest pace had more than double the risk of death from any cause, compared with those reporting the fastest walking pace. (It’s hard to say, though, if people who had poorer health were more likely to walk slower or if the walking pace itself played a role in their health.)

How fast is fast enough? The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) defines a “brisk” walk as anything over 2.5 miles per hour. So, aiming for that or faster is ideal.
