This “debloat powder” actually makes the best golden milk latte
May 29, 2019 at 05:00AM by CWC After eating copious amounts of junk food throughout the long holiday weekend, it’s safe to say my gut isn’t very happy with me right now. My daily smoothies were quickly swept away by a whirlwind of chips and dip, potato salad, and Beyond Burgers (not to mention heaping piles of french fries). At times, this left me feeling bloated and uncomfortable. It happens! And, surprisingly, something as simple as a golden milk latte is what’s helping my tummy feel normal again. The Nue Co., which makes supplements from organic foods, has a debloat powder loaded with a mix of maqui fruit, cinnamon, ginger, turmeric, and inulin. Such anti-inflammatory ingredients, natural digestive enzymes, and prebiotics help to reduce bloat. My current bloat is due to over-indulgence, but it only takes a tiny teaspoon of the powder to diminish the discomfort. This debloat drink is delicious golden milk latte. Blending the powder with a milk alternative creates a frothy latte with a warm kick of turmeric and ginger as well as rich notes of cinnamon. It tastes just as good as any other golden milk latte. While ginger and turmeric are well-known to help reduce bloat, the other ingredients are meant to improve your digestion as well, particularly the maqui powder, which comes from a purple tropical fruit native to South America. “Maqui powder helps the gut lining grow and establish good bacteria that we need in order to decrease bloating and promote overall long-term

Ever find yourself curious how to get rid of crepey skin? Here’s a derm’s take
May 29, 2019 at 05:00AM by CWC Crepey skin, like the ability to pull off the scent of Chanel No. 5, is just one of those things that comes with age. It happens when skin loses its collagen and elastin so it can’t bounce back the way it used to. This results in sagging and crinkling, which makes our skin look like, well, crepe paper, hence the a-little-too-on-the-nose name. While the fact that it’s going to happen is pretty much inevitable for many of us, if it’s something that bugs you there are a few things you can do to manage it—both inside and outside of the dermatologist’s office. So we chatted with the pros to find out why crepey skin happens, how you can prevent it, and how to get rid of crepey skin (if you so choose). First things first: Why does crepey skin happen? To put it simply: Age. But there’s a bit more to it than that. “Crepey skin occurs when your skin grows thin and loses its ability to return to normal after being stretched,” explains Andrew Ordon, MD, FACS, a California-based plastic surgeon. “It tends to impact larger areas, as opposed to wrinkles, which usually form from facial expressions such as smiling, frowning, or squinting. It affects the skin’s texture, resulting in saggy, crinkly areas, as opposed to a furrowed crease or lines that are known as wrinkles.” Everyone loses collagen and elastin as they age, but crepiness tends to happen more frequently to

Have a drink with your blooms for the ultimate plant-lady self care
May 29, 2019 at 04:00AM by CWC [youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rWcTPyZmgR8] Calling all dedicated, multitasking plant parents! Ever wonder how to incorporate your own self care into your routine for caring for your blooms? (Because anyone with a fauna family to call their own knows it can be a time-consuming effort.) It’s certainly possible, and the latest recent episode of Well+Good’s Self-Care Nation, with plant-lady wellness coach Brittany Gowan of Pause with Plants, outlines a few tips using the benefits of plants that’ll lead both you and your potted pals to really blossom. Even if you’re cursed with a perpetual inability to foster a plant successfully (I, for one, once killed a succulent), there’s one self-care tip that even a casual nature lover can incorporate into their wellness routine: Just get out there into nature, people. Check out more hints from Gowan about how you and your plants can help each other grow. 1. Water your plant babies, then water yourself Gowan says making sure her plants never want for nutrients provides her with a hearty dose of relaxation and joy. She loves seeing her greenery flourish, and to even further optimize this bonding experience, she even joins them for a drink. “I enjoy watching the water soak into the soil, and it makes me feel good to be helpful in assisting my plants to grow well and thrive,” Gowan says. “After I water my plants and before eating breakfast, I look to jump-start myself with a glass of water or two.”
If the Mediterranean diet and keto had a baby, this would be it
May 29, 2019 at 03:00AM by CWC If you’ve ever tried a new eating plan and found yourself hungry most of the time, a lack of healthy fat is likely to blame. One reason so many people find both the Mediterranean diet and the ketogenic diet so easy to stick with is because it includes lots of it—think fish, avocado, nuts, and eggs—to help you stay full between meals. These healthy fat bombs are also the hero foods of an eating plan health experts dubbed the “satiating diet.” According to Scientific American, it champions foods high in protein and fiber as well as includes dairy and recommends regular consumption of capsaicin, a compound in chili peppers and jalapenos, and is linked to boosting metabolism. Besides increasing metabolism, all the foods prioritized in the satiating diet have been scientifically linked to promoting weight loss, improving blood pressure, and (blessedly) reducing hunger between meals. You know that feeling of eating a bunch of takeout until you’re uncomfortably full, but then you find yourself opening the fridge two hours later? That’s not going to happen with this diet. Oh, and about the dairy: Researchers include it because dairy is full of probiotics, which are good for your gut. Also, if you’re reaching for rich cheeses (not the processed stuff), you’ll find that you only need to eat a little to feel satiated. As with virtually all healthy eating plans recommended by doctors, the satiating diet doesn’t include processed foods or foods high in
