Pregnant people are about 10 times more likely to become sick from listeria, and the illness can be fatal to the fetus. Foods made with raw milk are 50 to 160 times more likely to contain listeria, the agency said. Always carefully wash your hands after touching any type of hot dog, lunch or deli meat, the agency said. Toss opened packages of deli meats or any sliced by a deli after three to five days, and hot dogs after one week. Shelf-stable foods, such as canned tuna, sardines and salmon, will not increase the risk of listeria.

In a 2012 episode of "Kitchen Nightmares" Gordon Ramsay called a grilled lettuce dish "hideous." Ramsay later incorporated grilled romaine lettuce in a menu for a NASCAR event, Fox Sports reported. A viewer who spotted it called Ramsay out and suggested he should apologize. In the clip, Ramsay seemed astonished to find grilled caesar salad on the menu, and asked a server if it was a misprint. In his video, Doty pointed to this part of the menu, and called on Ramsay to apologize to the chef he had previously ridiculed for grilling lettuce.

CNN —Cutting 1 teaspoon of salt from your diet each day can lower your top blood pressure reading just as much as a typical hypertension medication, even if you don’t have high blood pressure, a new study found. Wirestock/iStockphoto/Getty ImagesNearly half of all Americans live with high blood pressure, according to the American Heart Association. Compared to the high-sodium diet, blood pressure on the extremely low-salt diet dropped 8 millimeters of mercury. “Compared to their normal diet, people reduced their blood pressure by about 6 millimeters of mercury, about the same effect you’d see for a first-line blood pressure medication,” Allen said. “Taste bud adjustment takes a little bit longer, but the blood pressure improvements are pretty quick,” she added.

Boston, Massachusetts CNN —Though home to the Boston Red Sox, Fenway Park is known for being green. Spanning a section of what was once an empty black rubber roof, a farm is making Fenway green in a completely different way. “We can produce anywhere from 4,000 to 6,000 pounds of fresh produce a year, depending on what we’re growing,” Grallert says. A little replica of Fenway Farms also opened at the Boston Children’s Museum last year. Green City estimates roughly 500,000 children and adults encounter Fenway Farms every year.
