"The Health Benefits of Roasted Pumpkin Seeds"

With pumpkin season in full swing, don't let those pumpkin seeds go to waste! All pumpkin seeds are edible, but some varieties are tastier than others. To clean the seeds, rinse them under running water or soak them in a bowl of water to remove the slimy flesh. Dry the seeds thoroughly and then season them with olive oil, spices, and salt. Roast the seeds in the oven until they are golden brown and fragrant. Enjoy the roasted pumpkin seeds as a snack, on top of pasta, salads, soups, or even in granola.

2028 LA Olympics to Feature Cricket, Flag Football, Lacrosse, and Squash

Cricket, flag football, lacrosse, squash, and baseball-softball have been added to the schedule for the 2028 Olympics in Los Angeles, in an effort to attract new viewers.

Lacrosse will make a comeback with a fast-paced version called sixes, highlighting its Indigenous North American roots. Flag football, a non-contact version of American football, and squash, played by 20 million players worldwide, will also debut at the Olympics.

Cricket and Flag Football Join 2028 Los Angeles Olympics

The International Olympic Committee has approved five new sports for the 2028 Los Angeles Summer Olympics, including cricket, flag football, squash, lacrosse, and baseball/softball. Squash and flag football will make their Olympic debut, while cricket and lacrosse are returning after previous appearances. The inclusion of these sports aims to attract new fans and expand the reach of the Games. The addition of these sports, along with weightlifting, modern pentathlon, and boxing, exceeds the IOC's athlete limit, so adjustments may be made to the schedule and athlete cap.
