What to look for when you’re buying running shoes for flat feet, according to a podiatrist
August 20, 2019 at 07:34AM by CWC There’s nothing more important than landing in the right pair of shoes for your gym pursuits. That often starts with knowing what kind of foot you have. While “flat” and “high-arched” aren’t exactly as thrilling as discerning, say, your Myers Briggs personality type, they do matter. For the sake of happier soles when you’re hitting the pavement, I’m taking a deep dive into the best running shoes for flat feet. Know this: You’re not exactly screwing your feet over if you just choose running shoes based on style, but going against your foot type can be uncomfortable, at the very least. “Wearing the wrong shoes may lead to problems such as lowered performance, discomfort such as in plantar fasciitis and runner’s knee, injuries, and even early-onset arthritis,” says Miguel Cunha, DPM, podiatrist and founder of Gotham Footcare. “It’s important to identify whether you have a flat, normal, or high arch because shoes designed to compensate for the impact of your feet can help prevent injuries and improve structural alignment and performance.” ad_intervals[‘415523_div-gpt-ad-9261280-3’] = setInterval(function () { if (ads_ready) { clearTimeout(ad_intervals[‘415523_div-gpt-ad-9261280-3’]); googletag.cmd.push(function(){googletag.display(‘div-gpt-ad-9261280-3’);}); } }, 100); To sum up the main reasons why flat-footed runners should look for specific sneaker styles, Jena Winger, senior footwear product line manager for Brooks Running says there are two to consider: “The first is fit—a truly flat foot is likely to hang over the edge of a shoe built on a more standard, semi-curved base, particularly in the medial
I married a dermatologist—these are the most important skin lessons I’ve learned
August 20, 2019 at 07:17AM by CWC Being married to a dermatologist comes with one very obvious perk: free skin-care advice all. of. the. time. Before I met my husband, Joshua Zeichner, MD, who’s a derm in New York City, I didn’t even realize I was treating my skin all wrong. I remember thinking that my complexion needed serums, but I didn’t understand what they actually did. As it turns out, I was using multiple serums that all did basically the same thing…whoops! Now, though, I know how to create a skin-care routine (thanks, Dr. Z!). My top two priorities? Protecting my skin from the sun in the morning, and repairing it from damage at night. Seriously—sun protection is no joke in our household. The biggest lesson I learned from my husband is that you need to protect your skin from the sun. I’m embarrassed to admit that I didn’t used to wear sunscreen, but now, in my @thedermwife life, you won’t find me outside without a broad-brimmed hat and sunglasses. (Fortunately, I met Dr. Z really early enough in life that I don’t think I did too much damage to my skin, but it’s never too early to start taking care of your skin.) Hindsight is 20/20, but when it comes to our skin, what we really need is foresight. It’s important to protect the skin when it’s still strong because that’s the foundation you have to age from. ad_intervals[‘416053_div-gpt-ad-7520022-3’] = setInterval(function () { if (ads_ready) { clearTimeout(ad_intervals[‘416053_div-gpt-ad-7520022-3’]); googletag.cmd.push(function(){googletag.display(‘div-gpt-ad-7520022-3’);}); }
The 3-step guide to distinguish real-deal narcissists from mere narcissistic moods
August 20, 2019 at 06:33AM by CWC You know how every once in a while, you put on an outfit that requires approximately 14,000 selfies? That’s because sometimes, we all need that full Kris Jenner youredoingamazingsweetie.gif treatment. While I call this situation “feeling myself,” others may call it “being a narcissist.” And, you know what? Fair. But since for many of us, instances like this represent the exception not the rule, is it really fair to color these narcissistic tendencies as full-blow cases of pathological narcissism? Turns out, no—it’s not fair. In fact, there are three key differences between narcissistic tendencies and the real deal. As a reminder, a textbook narcissist throws a fit when the attention isn’t on them. Highly dramatic and self-absorbed, they tend to not respond well to criticism. In fact, they often won’t even hear any criticism. Overall, they believe and often express how they’re the best person and always right, and won’t accept anything to the contrary. ad_intervals[‘416673_div-gpt-ad-7435403-3’] = setInterval(function () { if (ads_ready) { clearTimeout(ad_intervals[‘416673_div-gpt-ad-7435403-3’]); googletag.cmd.push(function(){googletag.display(‘div-gpt-ad-7435403-3’);}); } }, 100); But that’s different than believing you look awesome in an outfit and wanting to share that stance with your followers and the rest of the world, right? Right. That’s because the general key difference between narcissistic behavior and classic narcissism is whether those “me, me, me” traits make up your entire personality or simply spike up here and there. But below, you can find a breakdown of all three key points—frequency, intensity, and duration, per a
6 healthy foods that will keep your energy levels up—no coffee necessary
August 20, 2019 at 04:00AM by CWC [youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=adF3tbP2wC4] Want healthy snack ideas that will keep you going like the Energizer bunny? Watch the video. There’s a reason why having free coffee at the office has basically become a human right—some days, it feels impossible to get through the day without it. Ditto a vending machine full of snacks that will give you a quick hit of sugar. (Sure, you may need a nap later, but for the 45 minutes after you eat that cupcake, you’ll be on fire.) The only way to break the cycle of coffee-sugary snack-repeat is with…better snacks. Fortunately, You Versus Food host Tracy Lockwood Beckerman, RD, has your back. In the latest episode of Well+Good’s food-centric YouTube series, Beckerman shares the best foods for energy that will keep you going like the Energizer Bunny. ad_intervals[‘416537_div-gpt-ad-8891272-3’] = setInterval(function () { if (ads_ready) { clearTimeout(ad_intervals[‘416537_div-gpt-ad-8891272-3’]); googletag.cmd.push(function(){googletag.display(‘div-gpt-ad-8891272-3’);}); } }, 100); Her first pick: eggs. “They’re packed with protein, which is a steady source of energy because it does not cause spikes in blood sugar and insulin,” Beckerman says. She also points out that eggs contain a nutrient called leucine, which stimulates energy production. Another energy-boosting food on her list: bananas—which just happen to be so trendy right now. “They’re a great source of high-quality carbs, potassium, and vitamin B6,” she says, adding that the nutrients are natural energy boosters. While they’re still sweet, the sugar is natural, not added, and the fruit’s fiber means the body won’t get
Summertime sadness is a thing, but 3 experts have tips so it doesn’t dampen your transition to fall
August 20, 2019 at 02:00AM by CWC August feels to me like the end of an all-night party. More specifically, it feels like that moment when the sun comes up and you’re suddenly overwhelmed with anxiety about how you just squandered the past few hours and confusion about what you’re going to do next. While my literal answer to that situation often involves either a diner or a pillow, the metaphorical one relating to my summertime sadness is more complicated. But, pros tell me I’m hardly alone in my stress- and nostalgia-laden response to the passing of time, and that the perfect storm of seasonal circumstances is largely to blame. The first, and perhaps most obvious, factor that can lead to this mood disruption, is that whole ‘party’s over’ vibe. “We associate summer with fun and excitement and leisure activities and vacations, and as that starts to near an end, September often symbolizes getting back to work and the seriousness of life,” says clinical psychologist Neda Gould, PhD. “We develop anxiety because of the fear of what’s to come in that change as well as melancholy or sadness around the end of this respite we have from the regular year.” ad_intervals[‘413115_div-gpt-ad-7435403-3’] = setInterval(function () { if (ads_ready) { clearTimeout(ad_intervals[‘413115_div-gpt-ad-7435403-3’]); googletag.cmd.push(function(){googletag.display(‘div-gpt-ad-7435403-3’);}); } }, 100); Therapist Aimee Daramus, PsyD, likewise blames end-of-summer blues on a perceived shift from good times to, well, the slog. “Summer meant a long break from school for a lot of us, so we’re trained to see summer as

Why Seeking Joy Should Be Part Of Your Spiritual Practice
August 20, 2019 at 12:04AM It’s even more important than you’d think. Continue Reading… Author Tanya Carroll Richardson | Life by Daily Burn Selected by CWC With all the conflict, suffering, and healing work that needs to be done in the world today, it’s tempting to undervalue joy. In the spiritual community, there is a lot of emphasis on working to improve yourself and society at large. This healing work is hugely important—but it can also sound tiring and intimidating. One way we can nourish our souls so we can best serve others is by emphasizing joy. I don’t see joy as a break in the battle but a powerful healing force of its own. Here are tips for bringing more joy to yourself and the world: 1. Know that joy is a dynamic change agent. At times we don’t feel like we can do much to shift some of the outer circumstances in our lives. Maybe getting a new job isn’t so easy right now, or speeding up your recovery process after a significant injury is not an option. The guides I work with during intuitive readings for clients have told me that when humans feel limited by the action steps they can take to promote change, they can always work on changing their energy. Joy is a very open, welcoming energy, and adopting it could shift the way you approach a challenge and even some of the energy (including people and opportunities) that’s drawn to you. 2. Understand
