Dietitian Tip of the Day: I Always Keep This 1 Anti-Inflammatory Fruit in My Freezer
You've likely heard about the benefits of a well-rounded diet packed with healthy fruits. Not only do they provide fiber, carbs and important micronutrients, they can also boost gut health and, depending on the fruit, improve a wide variety of functions in the body. Like vegetables, fruit, of course, is seasonal, which means that certain types pack in the most nutrients during specific times of year. But if you don't have access to fresh produce year-round, the good news is that eating frozen fruit actually has as many health benefits — plus you don't have the same time crunch for eating it. One fruit in particular has an especially short period where it's in season but is versatile with powerful health-boosting compounds. That's why registered dietitian and TODAY nutrition editor Natalie Rizzo always has it in her freezer. For more on meal planning — plus fitness challenges, walking podcasts and inspiration — download the Start TODAY app! "I always keep my freezer stocked with an underutilized frozen fruit: cherries," Rizzo explains. "Many people don't realize that frozen fruits and veggies are actually just as nutritious as fresh. They are frozen at the peak of freshness, locking in all the nutrients." One cup of cherries has 25% of your daily vitamin C, an anti-inflammatory nutrient that aids in immune function. Cherries also have anthocyanins, which are antioxidants that give cherries their red color and reduce the risk of chronic diseases, like heart disease and cancer. Cherries can also boost skin health, sleep and exercise recovery. "I always add cherries to my smoothies to add natural sweetness and fight inflammation," Rizzo says. "They are especially nice in a post-workout smoothie to ease inflammation in the joints. Plus, cherries are only in season for a short amount of time, so keeping my freezer stocked with them means I can eat them all year round." Workout Recovery Smoothie by Frances Largeman-Roth, RDN TODAY's Expert Tip of the Day series is all about simple strategies to make life a little easier. Every Monday through Friday, different qualified experts share their best advice on diet, fitness, heart health, mental wellness and more. This article was originally published on

The New York City apartment from 'Breakfast at Tiffany's' is on the market for $15 million. It features a Tiffany-blue door.
The five-story apartment building seen in "Breakfast at Tiffany's" is on sale for $15 million. The New York City brownstone served as the façade for Holly Golightly's apartment in exterior shots. It's one of the most iconic movie homes in the city and features a Tiffany-blue door. Break out those black sunglasses and pearls, because for the first time in decades, you could own a slice of New York City's cinematic history. The iconic New York brownstone that served as the façade for Holly Golightly's apartment in "Breakfast at Tiffany's" is now up for grabs after hitting the market for $15 million on May 15. Though the interior scenes of the apartment were filmed on a studio lot, the home is still regarded as one of New York City's most famous movie homes. It also features one major homage to the 1961 film: a Tiffany-blue door that overlooks a quaint, tree-lined Upper East Side street just steps away from Tiffany's flagship Fifth Avenue store. Here's a look inside the iconic home. The Upper East Side home is one of the most famous in New York City, with a price tag to match. The five-story townhouse on East 71st Street could serve as a two-family home thanks to a separate apartment on the garden level. The listing said the home was previously sold for $1.88 million in 2000 and for $5.975 million in 2012. TODAY also reported that the home was sold in 2015 for $7.4 million, making the most recent listing price double what it last sold for. The home has undergone an extensive three-year renovation and restoration project. The home, which was built in 1910, features 10-foot ceilings and original architectural details. "They say you can't buy history. At 169 East 71st, you sort of can," the Corcoran listing reads. The front sitting room features a marble gas fireplace and chandeliers. Though the home's exterior is well-known as the site of Holly Golightly's small one-bedroom New York City apartment, filming never actually took place inside the townhouse. Instead, all of the interior shots, including the famous party scene, were filmed on a studio lot in California. Still, the home is just a short walk from Tiffany's flagship New York City location at the corner of Fifth Avenue and 57th Street, meaning future owners could have breakfast there if they so desired. The actual townhouse has a layout that includes a parlor-level dining room. The historic townhouse has renovated details like white-oak herringbone floors and updated light fixtures to blend the home's original architecture with a more modern style. The kitchen features more herringbone wood flooring and a marble mosaic backsplash imported from Italy. The chef's kitchen has luxe features like Calacatta Gold marble countertops, a six-burner Wolf range stove with vented hood, a Sub-Zero fridge, and custom cabinets. It has four bedrooms across its five floors. The third floor of the townhouse has two bedrooms, both of which have en-suite bathrooms and 9-foot-tall ceilings. The primary suite occupies the entirety of the fourth floor. The primary bedroom has a gas fireplace with an antique mantel and a separate dressing area with a vanity. In "Breakfast at Tiffany's," the main character, Holly, has a bathtub in the middle of her living room. The primary bathroom of the real-life townhouse has a freestanding soaking tub made with polished nickel, a walk-in shower, and Calacatta Gold Damask-patterned marble. There's a large terrace off the primary suite. The terrace spans 247 square feet and overlooks the Upper East Side. The garden level acts as a secondary residence that future owners could rent out. The one-bedroom apartment features exposed brick walls, a den, and a full kitchen with stainless-steel appliances. One impressive feature of the home is the large fenced-in garden. In the basement level, there's a bar area with stone walls and a wine cellar with two Liebherr wine fridges. Town & Country reported that in 2021, the entire townhouse was available for rent through the rental site Inspirato. Inspirato Pass holders could rent the home for a $2,500 flat monthly fee. Inspirato Club members were required to pay a nightly fee in addition to their typical $600-a-month subscription to the luxury rental site. While the price might sound steep, the outlet reported that the rental included concierge services and a "stocked fridge." New owners will have to stock their own fridge — though for someone buying a home with a listing price of $15 million, that shouldn't be too much of a stretch.

Hoda Kotb returns to host 'Today' with Jenna Bush Hager: What to know
Hoda Kotb is coming home to the fourth hour of "Today" for one day only. The morning show fan favorite will join her former co-host Jenna Bush Hager on Wednesday, May 28, to debut a new wellness company and co-host "Jenna and Friends." "Surprise! Our girl @hodakotb is our #JennaandFriends co-host tomorrow 🩷 Tune in!" the show's official Instagram page posted. Bush Hager previously teased the news on a May 22 broadcast, giving viewers a clue about a mystery guest co-host: "They are a former basketball star turned bestselling author," Bush Hager said. "Who is it? Nobody knows." A 2018 article from the "Making Space" podcast host's hometown newspaper said she lettered in basketball in high school. Kotb has authored several books including "I Really Needed This Today," "I've Loved You Since Forever" and "This Just Speaks to Me." Sheinelle Jones' 'Today' family reacts after husband Uche Ojeh dies of aggressive cancer After exiting "Today" in January, Kotb returned to the morning show in March to promote her forthcoming book "Jump and Find Joy: Embracing Change in Every Season of Life," an aptly titled nod to her next chapter. She stepped back from the "Today" franchise to focus on her life as a mom to her two young daughters, Haley and Hope. On April 28, a month to the day ahead of its launch, Kotb posted an Instagram video to celebrate one month until the wellness company arrived. "I'm bursting, and I can't wait to share it with you," Kotb told fans, adding that she was "so excited" about her buzzy project. Kotb announced her departure from "Today" in late September and later told the morning show's audience that her last day would be Jan. 10. Hager started hosting the fourth hour on "Jenna & Friends" with a slew of rotating fill-in co-hosts since Jan. 13. View this post on Instagram A post shared by TODAY with Jenna & Friends (@jennaandfriends) On her last day at "Today," Kotb told fans during her final message that "this is not a goodbye letter, this is a love letter," reading aloud a note she penned to viewers. She was replaced on the first two hours of "Today" by Craig Melvin, who now co-host the show opposite of Savannah Guthrie and continues to host the third hour of "Today" opposite Al Roker, Dylan Dreyer and Sheinelle Jones.

Hoda Kotb Reveals the Family Matter That Influenced Her Exit From 'TODAY'
More than five months since Hoda Kotb's official departure from the TODAY show, the beloved former co-anchor popped in to the show Wednesday morning for the first time since January. While sitting down with TODAY co-anchors Savannah Guthrie and Craig Melvin, Kotb revealed her newest venture — and the personal factor that played a big part in her decision to leave the beloved morning series. Kotb announced the launch of Joy 101, a wellness community and platform 'to introduce a more joyful and balanced life,' per a press release. It'll offer online courses, practices, and events, plus in-person retreats and other surprises along the way — all with Kotb at the helm, of course. For now, it'll be an app where users will get a daily personalized 'joy plan' — 'featuring research-backed tools designed by leading experts and brought together by Hoda to fit your needs, your mood, and your real life,' the website boasts. 'You know when you find something so special, so life-changing that you just have to share it? That's me, and that's Joy 101,' Kotb said in a statement. 'It's a place to pass on the light, the lessons and the healing I've been lucky enough to receive from the very best in wellness. Think of it as an introduction into a more joyful, balanced, beautiful life.' The app will feature resources like guided meditations, breath work, gratitude practices, sleep tips, and more. Joy 101 is available for preorder now in the app store, and it will officially launch in two weeks. Membership starts at $16.99 per month or $99 for the year. The launch of her new app wasn't the only big revelation Kotb made — she also dug into why she decided to depart TODAY after 17 years. You might recall that back in September 2024, Kotb made the tearful announcement that she'd be stepping down from the TODAY show. A few months later, she shared that she wanted to spend more time with her daughters, Hope and Haley. 'I had my kiddos late in life, and I was thinking that they deserve a bigger piece of my of my time pie that I have,' she said back in January. 'I feel like we only have a finite amount of time.' During her appearance on Wednesday, she gave fans some more information into what was going on at home. She shared that her daughter Hope was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes, and that helping Hope navigate the chronic illness 'definitely weighed in' to her decision to depart the morning show. 'As anyone with a child who has Type 1 [knows], especially a little kid, you're constantly watching, you're constantly monitoring, you're constantly checking, which is what I did all the time when I was [at TODAY]. You're distracted.' Kotb told Guthrie and Melvin that being home with her daughters more was 'a priority check' for her. 'I can be here [in the studio] and sweating what's happening to Hope in the morning and in the night, or I can be there and feel relief that I can see.' Hope's health issues began in 2023, when Kotb took two weeks off from the TODAY show to deal with what she described at the time as 'a family health matter.' Later, in 2024, she revealed that Hope had been hospitalized due to 'a sudden, unspecified illness' which caused her to spend a little over a week in the hospital and several days in the ICU. Kotb said it 'looked like she had the flu, and we literally had to race to the hospital. And you get there and you realize that it's not that at all. And it took us going to the hospital to figure it out.' Now that Hope's condition is known and being managed, her mother says she's 'fine for most of the day' but 'there are just moments where you have to watch her.' Fortunately, the family has gotten a handle on things, and Kotb estimates she's monitoring her daughter for 'five minutes at breakfast, five minutes at lunch, five minutes at dinner, sometimes overnight.' 'So for 23 and a half hours, she's every other kid,' Kotb shared. 'I try to remember that.' Her advice to parents dealing with a similar situation is that even though it can be worrisome, 'Don't put your worry on your kid… Let them be kids and give them what they need when they need it.' The post Hoda Kotb Reveals the Family Matter That Influenced Her Exit From 'TODAY' appeared first on Katie Couric Media.

Brazilian nun goes viral for beatboxing on TV — and fans compare the moment to 'Sister Act'
A Brazilian nun is earning raves around the world after she showed off her impressive beatboxing skills. Sister Marizele of Brazil went viral after dropping some beats, during a May 20 appearance on a Catholic TV channel, which prompted a second nun and priest to dance alongside her, as seen in a video shared by NBC News. Wearing a blue skirt, white shirt and white nun's habit, Sister Marizele began by singing before she switched to making percussive sounds with her mouth and tongue. Then, a second nun started to dance alongside Sister Marizele. Before long, a priest wearing a long black robe joined in on busting a move. In the comments section, fans of the holy trio likened them to Whoopi Goldberg's 1990s comedy film franchise 'Sister Act,' about a lounge singer who transforms a nun singing group after she's placed in a convent as part of a witness protection program. 'I know 'Sister Act' when I see it,' one viewer wrote. 'They really dropping a 'Sister Act' remake in 2025, huh?' joked another. Several people pointed out that those who become nuns and priests were once 'teenagers with love of music,' adding, 'I love seeing them showing off their amazing talents.' Or, as another delighted viewer put it, 'Fun is not a sin.' On the May 27 episode of TODAY, Jenna Bush Hager shared the fun clip during Morning Boost. Carson Daly came up with the perfect nickname for the hip-hop nun. 'Nun-D.M.C,' Carson quipped. 'Is this real?' Craig Melvin asked as he watched the video. 'It's real. Live from Catholic TV, it's a beatboxing nun and her holy backup dancer,' Jenna replied.
