August 22, 2019 at 12:00PM by CWC When it comes to the air fryer, people have feelings. It isn’t just a casual tool, like the toaster oven or rice cooker, that healthy eaters turn to from time to time. Air fryer obsession is real. (And you thought Instant Pot love was intense.) You think this baby is just for making healthier versions of chips and fries? Oh no, that’s just the gateway. Once home chefs experience the magic of the air fryer, they start wondering what else they can use it for. The answer? Pretty much everything. One Reddit user recently shared a handy website that converts almost any recipe into an air fryer-friendly one. (It’s aptly called Airfryercalculator.com.) Bless the tech wizard who made this ridiculously easy-to-use converter. All you do is slide the conventional oven temperature widget to the oven temp the recipe instructs, and enter the baking time. Then, the convertor automatically calculates how this correlates to the air fryer. That’s it! ad_intervals[‘417252_div-gpt-ad-8891272-3’] = setInterval(function () { if (ads_ready) { clearTimeout(ad_intervals[‘417252_div-gpt-ad-8891272-3’]); googletag.cmd.push(function(){googletag.display(‘div-gpt-ad-8891272-3’);}); } }, 100); Want to “fry” up some tofu? Salmon? Donuts? As long as you have some sort of recipe you’re working off of, using this converter will ensure it turns out perfectly. Besides, turning on the stove and heating up the kitchen in August? Yeah, no thanks. As if the tool weren’t helpful enough, it also includes a chart of the most common veggies, proteins, and frozen foods, indicating the time and temperature it

The Paleo diet may have been eclipsed by other eating plans, but it’s still a major player in the wellness world
August 22, 2019 at 02:00AM by CWC A few years back, the Paleo diet was the coolest thing since sliced bread. (Literally: You can’t eat grains, dairy products, or legumes on it.) But as far as Google Trends is concerned, the eating plan—which advocates consuming what humans supposedly ate way back in the day, before big agriculture and processed foods—reached its peak interest level at the beginning of 2014 and has been waning ever since—with interest spiking every January after the holiday season. Despite this seeming decline, Paleo is still a big part of the healthy eating world. Companies continue to make and market products for Paleo eaters, from Primal Kitchen’s Paleo mayonnaise to Purely Elizabeth’s grain-free granola. There’s a Paleo Magazine and dozens of Paleo-focused podcasts, all catering to the interests of caveman-imitating eaters. Many nutrition experts, such as Parsley Health founder Robin Berzin, MD, and science journalist Max Lugavere, continue to promote the eating plan and follow a version of it themselves. It begs the question: What’s going on with the former wunderkind of healthy eating plans? ad_intervals[‘417305_div-gpt-ad-8891272-3’] = setInterval(function () { if (ads_ready) { clearTimeout(ad_intervals[‘417305_div-gpt-ad-8891272-3’]); googletag.cmd.push(function(){googletag.display(‘div-gpt-ad-8891272-3’);}); } }, 100); Some of the flip-flopping around Paleo is part of the natural cycle of diet trends, says Lauren Harris-Pincus, MS, RDN, author of The Protein-Packed Breakfast Club: People try them, then move on. “I’m always skeptical of something that is a trendy, popular diet, because there’s a reason why it trends, and usually that’s because it’s just a new
Found: The trifecta of cooling bed products for the chillest room ever
August 22, 2019 at 01:00AM by CWC True life: I don’t have an air conditioner. And it’s not like I don’t have air-conditioning because I live on the north pole and have no practical need for it. Nope. I live in New York City, otherwise known as Swampy Soupville USA in peak summer—and for four years, I have chosen to not procure myself some air-conditioning. Maybe it’s because I’m lazy? Maybe it’s because I’m subconsciously a staunch environmentalist? Or maybe it’s because I’m onto something, because sleeping directly in front of an AC might not do your skin or sinuses any favors. Unclear. All I know for sure is that my masochistic reality of welcoming night sweats into my bedtime routine with open arms makes me the best test subject ever for using cooling bed products alone to manifest the ideal sleeping temperature. Because meeting the National Sleep Foundation’s recommendation of a bedroom temperature between 60 and 67 degrees Fahrenheit just isn’t in the cards for me during the summer without the help of some accessories. For weeks, I tested three different chilling products—cooling sleepwear, bedding, and a mattress pad—in isolation and then simultaneously to see which is most effective and whether stacking them might transform my inferno of a bedroom into something Elsa from Frozen might approve. Here’s how the products handled the heat. ad_intervals[‘412244_div-gpt-ad-7435403-3’] = setInterval(function () { if (ads_ready) { clearTimeout(ad_intervals[‘412244_div-gpt-ad-7435403-3’]); googletag.cmd.push(function(){googletag.display(‘div-gpt-ad-7435403-3’);}); } }, 100); 1.

More women will be able to access breast cancer gene screening—here’s why that matters
August 21, 2019 at 09:46PM by CWC I recently learned that breast cancer is a rare beast among cancers in that the relationship between behaviors and risk are not as clear as they are with other cancers (e.g. lung cancer and tobacco use). “There’s only about one in five breast cancer cases for which there’s a clear reason that we can understand why that woman developed cancer,” André Ilbawi, MD, lead cancer expert for the World Health Organization, explained to me in a conversation unrelated to this piece. This is a bit disconcerting given that 12.4 percent of women will get breast cancer in their lifetime, according to Otis W. Brawley MD, chief medical officer of the American Cancer Society. In other words, breast cancer is common, and there aren’t always clear paths to determining your risk. In an effort to help women wherever possible, health professionals with the United States Preventative Services Task Force announced Wednesday an expansion of the organization’s screening recommendations around the breast cancer risk factor that is fairly predictable: having a BRCA 1 or BRCA 2 gene mutation. ad_intervals[‘417249_div-gpt-ad-7435403-3’] = setInterval(function () { if (ads_ready) { clearTimeout(ad_intervals[‘417249_div-gpt-ad-7435403-3’]); googletag.cmd.push(function(){googletag.display(‘div-gpt-ad-7435403-3’);}); } }, 100); A quick primer: BRCA 1 and BRCA 2 are genes that create proteins to suppress tumor activity; with certain mutations, a person has a vastly increased risk of getting breast or ovarian cancer. People can get genetic testing to see if they have a BRCA mutation, which can help them assess whether or not
Keep foundation in place all day with this hack from Meghan Markle’s makeup artist
August 21, 2019 at 09:43PM by CWC Around 2 p.m. every day, I walk into the bathroom in my office, look in the mirror, and wonder “who is that monster staring back at me, and what the heck happened to her foundation?” In the latest episode of the beauty podcast Gloss Angeles, makeup artist Daniel Martin—who’s famous for working with celebs like Jessica Alba and a casual British royal named Meghan Freakin’ Markle—shares his tips for avoiding this mid-afternoon bathroom encounter. As it turns out, it has everything to do with your primer—from how you put it on to what kind you use. “I’ll use it mostly on the T-zone, not all over the face,” he explains. This makes sense, considering for most people the T-zone is the area that tends to get the oiliest throughout the day. “I use water-based foundation, so I need something that is water-based to magnetize on the skin,” says Martin, calling out Tatcha Silk Canvas Primer ($52) as his favorite. “If you put a silicone primer in between the moisturizer and the foundation, heat will break that up, because water and oil don’t mix. So once it’s on the skin and you have the heat on your skin activating it, that separation is going to happen over time.” He also adds that you should never, ever use facial oil under foundation, because it will have that same separating effect. ad_intervals[‘417272_div-gpt-ad-7520022-3’] = setInterval(function () { if (ads_ready) { clearTimeout(ad_intervals[‘417272_div-gpt-ad-7520022-3’]); googletag.cmd.push(function(){googletag.display(‘div-gpt-ad-7520022-3’);}); } }, 100); As far
My job is to create beauty products for a living. Here are the 3 most important things to look for in a product
August 21, 2019 at 09:38PM by CWC I’m a sucker for beauty products with eye-catching aesthetics. To be honest, packaging is probably the number-one thing I look for when my bathroom vanity is want for a brand-spankin’-new cleaner, moisturizer, or serum. After speaking with cosmetic chemist Stephen Alain Ko, however, I’ve realized that my priorities are completely—how to put this?—wack. When you’re deciding which products to buy and which to leave on the shelf, the expert (who literally concocts said formulas to earn his bread and butter) says only three things actually matter. Open up a new Notes tab in your phone and tap this in! Ko says his top label requirement has to do with sunscreen. He strongly emphasizes that sun protection featuring the UVA Circle logo (which contains the “UVA” looped in a circle) is the only kind of sun protection you want to buy. “This means that the UVA protection is at least one-third of the SPF,” he explains. “In some countries, it’s not required to list the actual UVA protection of a sunscreen, but the presence of the UVA Circle logo can at least give you a rough estimate of the UVA protection offered.” All other sunscreens are cancelled—at least from your beauty routine. ad_intervals[‘417418_div-gpt-ad-7520022-3’] = setInterval(function () { if (ads_ready) { clearTimeout(ad_intervals[‘417418_div-gpt-ad-7520022-3’]); googletag.cmd.push(function(){googletag.display(‘div-gpt-ad-7520022-3’);}); } }, 100); You try on clothes before you commit, so why not do the same with your skin-care wardrobe? Second, try before you buy. Ko isn’t a big fan of swiping
