10. What’s best for my pain: Tylenol or Advil?
10. 缓解疼痛：泰诺还是安舒疼更有效？
It’s the middle of the night, and you have a splitting headache. You open your medicine cabinet to find a bounty of drugs — Advil, Aleve, Tylenol. These pain relievers are grouped into two main categories, acetaminophen and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, and they work on different types of pain in different ways. We asked experts which is best for you.
大半夜的，你头痛欲裂。打开药柜，里面一大堆药——安舒疼(Advil)、萘普生(Aleve)、泰诺(Tylenol)。这些止痛药大致分为两类：对乙酰氨基酚和非甾体抗炎药，它们以不同机制作用于不同类型的疼痛。且看专家如何推荐。
9. Can you get rid of cold sores for good?
9. 唇疱疹能永久根治吗？
These painful, blistering sores are a result of infection with the herpes simplex virus type 1, which is common among adults and not the same virus that causes genital herpes. Once you start getting cold sores, the virus can cause outbreaks throughout your life — but there are effective ways to treat them.
这些令人疼痛的水泡溃疡源于1型单纯疱疹病毒感染，这种病毒在成年人中很常见，与引发生殖器疱疹的病毒不同。一旦感染，病毒可能终身反复发作，但已有有效的治疗方法。
8. I left a plastic water bottle in a hot car. Is it safe to drink?
8. 塑料水瓶忘在了高温车厢内，里面的水还能安全饮用吗？

7. How can I build muscle as I age?
7. 随着年龄增长，我该如何增肌？
It’s one of the greater indignities of aging: Starting at 30, we lose as much as 8 percent of our muscle mass every decade. A few tweaks to your routine, however, can help you slow down the clock. We asked experts how.
这可能是衰老过程中最令人困扰的变化之一：从30岁开始，每过10年，我们可能会流失多达8%的肌肉量。不过，只需对日常习惯稍作调整，就能有效延缓这一进程。我们请专家来解释怎么做。
6. Do healthy breakfast cereals exist?
6. 真的存在健康的早餐麦片吗？
With all of their sugars, refined carbohydrates, fun colors and flavors, many cereals are essentially just desserts. But if you know what to look for on the box, experts say it’s possible to find better-for-you options.
许多麦片因高糖、精制碳水、艳丽的色泽和各种风味，本质上无异于甜点。但专家指出，只要懂得解读包装上的信息，仍能寻得更优选择。
5. Is waking up to pee normal?
5. 夜尿频繁是否正常？
Do you regularly need to use the restroom in the middle of the night? You’re in good company. But when that urgency crosses a certain threshold, it might be a sign of poor health. Here’s how to tell if your middle-of-the-night bathroom trips should prompt a call to a doctor.

4. Does Benadryl do more harm than good?
4. 苯海拉明是否弊大于利？
It’s been a mainstay of American medicine cabinets since the 1940s, and it’s an effective remedy for itchy eyes, congestion and other symptoms of seasonal allergies, colds and more. But experts now caution that because Benadryl can increase the risk of certain health conditions, it might be time to switch to newer antihistamines.
自上世纪40年代以来，这款药物一直是美国家庭药箱的常备品，能有效缓解眼部瘙痒、鼻塞等季节性过敏及感冒症状。但如今专家提醒，由于苯海拉明可能增加特定健康风险，或许是时候转用新一代抗组胺药了。
3. Does hot lemon water have any health benefits?
3. 热柠檬水真有保健功效吗？
This is a popular scene on TikTok: An influencer squeezes some lemon into a mug of hot water and claims that drinking it every morning can kick start your metabolism, smooth your skin, boost your immunity and help you stay hydrated. Can that be right? There’s a kernel of truth to some of these claims, but there are also some caveats to keep in mind.
TikTok上时常能刷到这样的场景：网红将柠檬挤入一杯热水，说每天早上喝能启动新陈代谢、让皮肤更光滑、增强免疫力、帮助补水。这些说法可信吗？其中确有一点点道理，但也有需要注意的地方。

We asked experts to weigh in on some long-held beliefs about alcohol, including whether red wine was a more healthful choice than beer or hard alcohol, and if lighter liquors were less harmful than darker ones.
大多数人都知道，喝酒对健康不好。但若难以避免，某些酒类是否相对危害小一些？我们请专家来讨论一些长期流传的看法，比如：红酒是否比啤酒或烈酒更健康？颜色较浅的烈酒是否比颜色较深的更不伤身。
