The 4 Most Common Holiday Stress Scenarios—and How to Deal With Each of Them
December 09, 2018 at 06:30PM No matter how many rom-coms portray the holidays as a magical, whimsical time when all your dreams come true, the reality is that the season is usually a teensy bit stressful for the average, non-rom-com character person (just keeping it real here). And if you haven’t heard, stress can have some pretty major effects on your health (namely, gut health), which is why we teamed up with Renew Life to tap Abby Langer, RD, owner of Abby Langer Nutrition, for her holiday stress remedies. AKA, advice on avoiding the most common holiday stress traps. Her biggest tip for keeping your chill—and dodging the occasional digestive upsets stress can cause—is to make time for yourself. “The holidays are stressful for so many reasons,” Langer says, which is why her biggest tip for keeping your chill—and dodging the occasional digestive upsets stress can cause—is to make time for yourself. “Schedule it as early as possible, whether it’s a spin class or just a free afternoon. Resolve to take the time for yourself and not anyone—or anything—else.” Top on the list of ways to care for yourself? Taking a daily probiotic, which Langer recommends to her clients in addition to a healthy diet to support their microbiome. Renew Life 30 Billion Extra Care Probiotics are made three times stronger than your usual probiotic, so you know you’re getting the most effective support—and can keep living your best rom-com-inspired life.

3 Ways to Tweak Your Diet to Conquer the Holiday-Party-Winter-Cold-Season Combo
December 09, 2018 at 06:30PM From kicking it into gift shopping mode every weekend to making your holiday party rounds, your life during the winter season—and oftentimes your diet—are thrown off track, and your gut’s the one to pay. You’re not the only one feeling this off-putting shift. Rachel Paul, RD feels you. “This time of year brings on a lot of added stress—the mental stress of choosing what to eat, eating too much, and the physical stress your body is under from the extra cold and flu germs,” Paul adds. No wonder you’re feeling a little on edge. To help find your way through this wild ride of a holiday season and avoid the dreaded head cold, too, we asked Rachel Paul to share some gut-friendly tips that’ll help you crush the season without a meltdown. Keep reading for 3 tweaks to your holiday meals that’ll ensure your gut (and overall health) is at 100 percent all season long. Photo: Stocksy/Jeff Wasserman 1. Be mindful of added sugars and refined carbs—but don’t ban them! If you have a hankering for something sweet, eat something sweet—just be aware of the amount of added sugars and refined carbs. “Foods high in refined carbohydrates and sugars can cause a lot of inflammation in the lining of our GI tract, which can lead to bloating, lethargy, and gas,” Paul says. More than the discomfort factor, you don’t want to feel in urgent need of a nap when catching up with that friend you haven’t seen in
There’s an astrological reason to break out that ugly Christmas sweater this week
December 09, 2018 at 11:51AM If you have a holiday party coming up, consider yourself supported by this week’s Aquarius moon to be as weird and wonderful as you wanna be, says astrologer Jennifer Racioppi, who has a very “you be you” message for the next seven days. And Racioppi’s sharing her best advice on making the most of the current cosmic conditions, AKA your fitness, food, and self-care habits—no matter what your sun sign is. Monday, December 10 With the waxing crescent moon in Capricorn, a sign of brass-tacks commitment, the day begins on a strong upbeat tempo. Yes. Lead with joy, stay kind, and enjoy it. (You might even find yourself sharing some holiday cheer.) After last week’s encouraging new moon in Sagittarius, and Mercury stationing direct, this year-end, mid-December Monday boasts some high-vibe mojo and tenacity. 2018 might’ve kept the best for last. With the majority of the planets traveling direct (only Uranus is retrograde) finally, things move forward. Follow your desires. The stars are (finally) aligned. Tuesday, December 11 There are relatively clear astrological skies for this Aquarius moon Tuesday to potentially feel liberating. Maybe so much so, you want to experiment with not shaving, and flirting with the power of Big Bush Energy (or BBE as Well+Good’s editors affectionately named the latest trend stemming from the body-inclusivity movement). With performative self-care becoming a thing of the past (another 2019 W+G trend), performative grooming can potentially fall by the wayside too—especially for those desiring a more natural relationship to
