Though you feel good when you leave the house, by the end of the day, your feet and ankles may be craving some more support. For days like this, podiatrist Diane Koshimune, DPM, swears by sneakers from Taos, a brand that makes canvas shoes with arch support. When I hear arch support I immediately think of grandpa sneakers, but as Dr. Koshimune describes Taos kicks: “They look kind of like a Converse and Keds had a baby.” Apparently everyone, especially those with flat feet, can benefit from walking in more supportive sneaks, because it helps keep your body aligned. “If you’re someone who is doing some normal walking or exercising and you’re finding that your ankles or your heels are becoming a little bit sensitive or you start working out and your knees hurt,” Dr. Koshimune says that “it could be from that malalignment.” The Taos sneakers come in 12 styles, each with multiple colorways, priced between $80 and $120. Each one comes with a removable pad that hugs the contours of your feet, while providing support to the ball of your foot, your arch, and your heel and absorbing shock. But forgive me, why can you just take your Converse or your Keds and try to add some arch support to make them more friendly? “The shoe

June 06, 2019 at 04:00PM by CWC Enjoying a hot summer day with an ice cream cone dripping down your hand is truly magical. But you can skip the mess with a milkshake. There’s nothing more refreshing than sipping an ice-cold shake through a straw. While a dairy-free milkshake is often made with a banana base, you can use one of your favorite vegetables instead. Cauliflower makes a great lower-sugar, dairy-free milkshake, according to Joy Wilson of Joy the Baker. She never thought she’d enjoy drinking cauliflower, but it happened. And she’s accepted it. “If you’d told me 10 years ago that I’d be putting the words ‘cauliflower’ and ‘milkshake’ in the same recipe title, I would have told you you’d lost your mind. And yet here we are, working cauliflower into a dang milkshake,” she writes. Cauliflower provide creaminess while sneaking plenty of fiber, vitamin C, and folate into your dessert. Unlike some cauliflower recipes, this one isn’t messy. All you need to do is blend frozen riced cauliflower with a few handfuls of frozen strawberries, raw cashews, and almond milk. “It tastes nothing like cauliflower and everything like a milkshake,” she says. So, yes, this summer I’m most definitely going to be one of those people who’s whipping up dairy-free milkshakes. What’s better than eating your vegetables for dessert?
