Welcome to Sober October. According to certified Nutritionist and Certified Functional Food Professional Amy Fox, sober curiosity means becoming more aware of your drinking and developing a healthier relationship with alcohol.  For many people, completely abstaining from drinking is not the goal — instead, it’s about finding ways to make drinking “small and irrelevant in your life.”Fox says it’s about giving your mind and body a chance to experience the health benefits of abstinence, which include better sleep, healthier skin, improved emotional wellness, including reduced symptoms of anxiety and depression, reduced risk of cancer and cardiovascular disease, weight loss, clearer skin, improved immunity function, and better brain function and memory.Her tips on how to help get started?Be aware of how you feel during and after you drink.

SF Giants: What we learned from Farhan Zaidi’s season-ending press conference

Published Wed, 05 Mar 2025 04:15:28 GMT

SAN FRANCISCO — As a half dozen ballparks radiated on Tuesday, the official start of the postseason, with the kind of energy that only playoff baseball can provide, Oracle Park sat empty. Quiet. The only sign of activity was a not-so-small group of reporters and cameras encircled around Farhan Zaidi, the Giants’ head baseball man who wished his team was gearing up for October, not kicking off his offseason perched on a dugout bench answering questions for 45 minutes.“We’re sitting here with the playoffs starting, talking about the end of our season, finishing under .500, that’s a disappointment,” Zaidi said, about half-an-hour in to his post mortem. “That’s not where we wanted to be.”Just a few days earlier, Zaidi spoke of needing to “rethink everything.” His club wilted down the stretch, exposing deeper problems on a roster and an organizational philosophy that has produced only one postseason appearance in five seasons. As these things go,...

Kurtenbach: SF Giants ownership has set up the organization for years of dysfunction

Published Wed, 05 Mar 2025 04:15:28 GMT

SAN FRANCISCO — This is not an appropriate way to run a baseball team.Not in this day and age.Not in this kind of market.With one decision, the Giants have set themselves up for years of unnecessary messiness and continued mediocrity.When Giants president of baseball operations Farhan Zaidi recommended to the team’s governing board that they fire manager Gabe Kapler last week, it should have sparked a larger conversation about the organization’s future.That was the time to decide if Zaidi is the right person to lead this team.Both Zaidi and Kapler’s contracts with the Giants expire after the 2024 season, but someone’s head had to roll after a sub-.500 season.So Zaidi deftly sacrificed Kapler to save himself.I don’t blame Zaidi for making the move. It was justifiable — Kapler was floundering in his role.But the fact that Zaidi could save himself is the problem.Zaidi and Kapler worked in lock-step. The former hand-picked the latter. The latter implemented...
