As for everyone else, well, we need to have a talk. In the latest episode of Well+Good’s Dear Derm, Mona Gohara, MD, a board-certified dermatologist explains why it’s critically important that we’re all wearing sunscreen every single day of our lives: Over 95 percent of the signs of aging in skin come from the sun.

Not to diss your sushi roll of choice, but seaweed is more than just an edible device that holds your takeout order together. The insanely versatile vegetable (okay, technically, marine algae), has moved beyond the delivery container to pop up everywhere. The ingredient was peeped all over the healthy snacks our editors checked out at Natural Products Expo West, which gives a preview of what’s coming down the pipeline—and can now be found in the snack aisle at local New York City bodegas, the shelves of Trader Joe’s, and Amazon’s five-star snack reviews. ad_intervals[‘413261_div-gpt-ad-8891272-3’] = setInterval(function () { if (ads_ready) { clearTimeout(ad_intervals[‘413261_div-gpt-ad-8891272-3’]); googletag.cmd.push(function(){googletag.display(‘div-gpt-ad-8891272-3’);}); } }, 100); So why is something you normally see at the beach suddenly having such a moment in the food sphere?

Move over quinoa—Buckwheat is the new it-grain taking over menus everywhere
August 29, 2019 at 04:30AM by CWC Ever have a flashback to when kale wasn’t cool (#tbt)? Well, there’s a new crew of superfoods about to hit your plates and IG feeds. We teamed up with Ocean Spray to clue you in on the trends. Learn about all six craze-worthy foods here, and keep reading to find out why the health benefits of buckwheat earned it a spot. “Overnight buckwheaties” may not sound as catchy as overnight oats, but take this into consideration: Buckwheat is loaded with nutrition benefits, it’s super easy to prepare, and it’s the rising star of the grain-but-not-actually-a-grain world. (It’s technically a seed, or “pseudo-cereal,” like quinoa.) And, like quinoa, the nutty-flavored groats are becoming a go-to healthy buddha bowl base (thanks in part to their knockout protein content) and giving the OG supergrain a run for its money. ad_intervals[‘414685_div-gpt-ad-8891272-3’] = setInterval(function () { if (ads_ready) { clearTimeout(ad_intervals[‘414685_div-gpt-ad-8891272-3’]); googletag.cmd.push(function(){googletag.display(‘div-gpt-ad-8891272-3’);}); } }, 100); Plus, despite its moniker, buckwheat doesn’t actually contain any actual wheat, making it a safe choice for Celiacs or people choosing to follow a gluten-free lifestyle. Here’s why you’ll want to consider scouring the #buckwheat feed on Instagram and adding the superfood to your grocery list. Keep scrolling to discover the health benefits of buckwheat, plus all the ways you can start eating it. Benefits You’re likely to find buckwheat taking one of two forms: Buckwheat groats are the hulled seeds from the plant, while buckwheat flour is ground from the seed hulls. In both forms, it’s anti-inflammatory and high
Wait, you’re not putting cranberries on everything? Here’s why you’re about to see this super fruit everywhere

We teamed up with Ocean Spray to clue you in on the trends. Learn about all six craze-worthy foods here, and keep reading to find out why the health benefits of cranberries earned it a spot. Nope, cranberries officially aren’t just for Thanksgiving anymore. If you haven’t heard, the bright berry has been buzzing all year long, and we’re calling it as the superfruit taking over the wellness scene. Besides being so satisfyingly tart (they pair well with both your sweet and salty faves), cranberries have a ton of health-boosting potential—so we asked Eliza Savage, RD at Middleberg Nutrition, and Barbara Mendez, nutritionist and pharmacist, to explain why, exactly, we should be adding them to our plates. ad_intervals[‘413612_div-gpt-ad-8891272-3’] = setInterval(function () { if (ads_ready) { clearTimeout(ad_intervals[‘413612_div-gpt-ad-8891272-3’]); googletag.cmd.push(function(){googletag.display(‘div-gpt-ad-8891272-3’);}); } }, 100); “I like to think of superfoods as a great garnish to any meal,” Savage says. “It’s a great way to increase the flavor and nutritional profile—without a ton of work.

Here’s why endive is the paleo hero ingredient you’re about to see everywhere
August 29, 2019 at 04:30AM by CWC Ever have a flashback to when kale wasn’t cool (#tbt)? Well, there’s a new crew of superfoods about to hit your plates and IG feeds. We teamed up with Ocean Spray to clue you in on the trends. Learn about all six craze-worthy foods here, and keep reading to find out why the health benefits of endive earned it a spot. On your quest to get your greens in, it’s easy to default to throwing spinach, kale, or arugula into a bowl and calling it a day. Besides, the taste of your greens-of-choice isn’t always the main showstopper, but more of a vehicle for the real yummy stuff (like that vinaigrette you finally perfected). But a different veggie base is threatening to steal the salad spotlight—and its unique flavor can stand on its own. Enter: Belgian endive—the elegant-looking (and sounding, tbh) member of the chicory family that’s making its case to be the leafy green of 2019. ad_intervals[‘413808_div-gpt-ad-8891272-3’] = setInterval(function () { if (ads_ready) { clearTimeout(ad_intervals[‘413808_div-gpt-ad-8891272-3’]); googletag.cmd.push(function(){googletag.display(‘div-gpt-ad-8891272-3’);}); } }, 100); If you’re unfamiliar with the up-and-coming superfood, you can pick endive out of the produce section by its oval-shaped head and boat-shaped white leaves with yellow or red-purple tops. It’s known for being fresh and crunchy, and though its slight bitterness might seem like a turnoff, don’t be intimidated. The benefits of endive make the case for why it might soon be taking over your plate. Keep scrolling for insight on the health benefits of endive AKA your
Get ready for it—Butternut squash’s moment has officially arrived
August 29, 2019 at 04:30AM by CWC Ever have a flashback to when kale wasn’t cool (#tbt)? Well, there’s a new crew of superfoods about to hit your plates and IG feeds. We teamed up with Ocean Spray to clue you in on the trends. Learn about all six craze-worthy foods here, and read on to find out why the health benefits of butternut squash earned it a spot. Sweet potato will probably always be the darling of the gluten-free set, but a different orange veggie is encroaching on its reputation as most-loved root veg: butternut squash. Though butternut squash isn’t new to the wellness scene, we’re declaring 2019 the year it officially stakes its claim among the veggie it-crowd—and for good reason. It offers a lighter alternative to sweet potato with less sugar, carbs, and calories, but still provides all the versatility that makes sweet potato a go-to paleo or Whole 30 ingredient. ad_intervals[‘413629_div-gpt-ad-8891272-3’] = setInterval(function () { if (ads_ready) { clearTimeout(ad_intervals[‘413629_div-gpt-ad-8891272-3’]); googletag.cmd.push(function(){googletag.display(‘div-gpt-ad-8891272-3’);}); } }, 100); In fact, the vitamin-packed veggie is potentially even more swap-friendly than its starchier cousin, evidenced by its selection as the star ingredient in healthified recipes that are blowing up the foodie sphere (think pastas, pizzas, and yes, even waffle fries). Want to know the deets on the case for adding the fiery-colored squash to your plate? We asked Eliza Savage, RD at Middleberg Nutrition, and Barbara Mendez, nutritionist and pharmacist, to fill us in. Keep reading for more intel on the health benefits of butternut squash.
