The Sharper-view Menu Start with a base of cooked spinach, kale, Swiss chard, or collard greens. Then add in veggies like asparagus, brussels sprouts, edamame, zucchini, peas, or corn, and top with a hard-boiled or fried egg. These foods are all rich in lutein and zeaxanthin, two nutrients (called carotenoids) that protect your eyes from the blue light given off by your computer screen—good thing, since most of us average 11 hours a day staring at one. “Blue light can damage the retina, and that exposure can lead to problems like eye strain, eye fatigue, and headaches,” says James Stringham, Ph.D., of the Nutritional Neuroscience Laboratory at the University of Georgia. “Lutein and zeaxanthin are deposited in the center of your retina and absorb a lot of this blue light.”…

Previous Page/ Divine Lips When is it not about red wine in fall? From dark lip stains to full mattes, shades of merlot and cabernet look seasonally appropriate now. As the weather turns chillier, condition your lips before trying the trend—remove flakes gently with a mild facial or lip exfoliant, and slick on some balm. “Otherwise these shades will expose every flaw,” says Toronto-based Maybelline makeup artist Grace Lee. For the cleanest finish, outline with a lip pencil that matches your lipstick, then apply color with a lip brush from the center to outer corners of your mouth.…

You’ve heard it hundreds of times: Extending time between shampoos (and making do with dry shampoo) preserves your color, lets your scalp’s natural oils hydrate the hair, and minimizes heat-styling damage. Problem is, what’s good for your hair isn’t necessarily good for your scalp, and an unhealthy scalp eventually affects the quality of new hair growth. “I’ve seen a steady uptick in patients who come in complaining of chronic scalp irritation, hair breakage, and shedding—issues largely rooted in underwashing and overusing styling products,” says Shereene Idriss, M.D., a dermatologist at Union Square Laser Dermatology in New York City. So how you do reconcile the needs of your hair with the care of your scalp? It’s not that hard. Start by following our regimen here. STEP 1/ KEEP IT CLEAN “You…

This keeps chlorine Órom being absorbed through the cap. LUBE UP. “Oil keeps moisture out of hair,” Thompson says. So before hitting the beach, use an oil-based protective spray, such as Bumble and Bumble Hairdresser’s Invisible Oil ($40, bumbleandbumble .com). Christophe Robin, a French celebrity stylist and the creator of the eponymous line, says you can use lavender oil in place of a commercial product. WASH LESS. “Two things get into your hair: sweat and oil,” Thompson says. “Sweat doesn’t make your hair oily, so if you work out daily, just rinse with…

Right now, you could summon just about any workout on demand, but why stop there? Go front row at fully booked classes thanks to the growing number of live-streamed workouts—many with Skype-like two-way interactivity—and become part of the action. “Being able to tune in to a class as it’s happening lets you tap into an energy that you aren’t able to do when you’re watching a prerecorded video,” says Karena Dawn, the cofounder of Tone It Up, who hosts live classes with partner Katrina Scott on social media each week. “It was a oneway conversation before, but now we can all interact together.” Got a question about the workout? Dawn and Scott respond to comments after the class. You can’t beat the convenience, either. Nixing the trek to the gym…

Beaboss To ratchet up your chances of an O, choose a position that naturally provides more direct stimulation for you, like woman on top, Lloyd suggests. (Fun fact: She says the official scientific name for that move is “the female superior.”) It also gives you more control to set the pace and intensity. Giveguidance Telling your partner exactly what feels good and what doesn’t during sex increases your odds of having an orgasm, the study found. We all have different likes and dislikes, plus what feels great can vary from day to day, which is why giving real-time feedback is so crucial, Frederick says. Talking to your guy frankly also opens the door to spontaneity. For instance, you might be more likely to say, “Let’s try [fill in the blank]”—something…

It will always be September, ever since the days when we shuffled off to school , lunch boxes in hand, on a warm post–Labor Day morning anticipating a fresh start. And while plenty of kids lamented the end of the easy-living season (not me, I couldn’t wait to get back to school), the die-hard summer fans even secretly craved the trappings of fall—new notebooks, friends missed over the last three months, and getting back to a schedule. Because “new year” launches a desire for consistency, and consistency brings the sense of comfort, normalcy, and progress. As adults, we don’t matriculate in grade school sense, but that same craving for renewal and routine always comes every-September, even more so than in January, when most of us are still recovering from holiday…

Sweet Use for Pepper It's the surprise dessert topping everyone is hot for right now. “Like salt, pepper helps bring out the sweetness of fruit,” says chef Nick Licata of Villanelle in New York City, who uses it in his watermelon sorbet.

Jog ’n’ Log Sync that activity tracker on your wrist to automatically upload your running data to a social network of exercisers, and you could run stronger and go longer as a result, suggests a new study in the journal Nature Communications. Researchers ex amined running frequency, time, and distance for a group of runners in the same friend network— but not the same cities—over five years. They found that even on poor weather days, the geographically diverse group displayed similar training routines. This shows that running can be socially contagious, the study authors say—when you see others posting miles, it spurs you to run a little farther and improve your pace. Try it yourself with an app like Strava (free for iOS and Android). Lose the Lines At last,…

Inhaling a refreshing scent paired with deep breathing while you do your makeup can bring a moment of Zen to the a.m. madness and provide you with increased oxygen to fuel your day, says Belisa Vranich, Ph.D., a clinical psychologist and the author of Breathe. It’s the peaceful, perkyou- up equivalent of a cup of coffee. The goal is to slowww your breath so that it syncs with your heart rate, keeping your blood pressure and cortisol levels in check. To get it right, breathe in through your nose and fill up your lungs (your stomach should puff out), then exhale out of your mouth. “Focus on the continuity and sound of the breath,” Vranich says. That tells your parasympathetic nervous system that you’re calm and in control. As for…

Naomi Whittel, 43, is a fearless explorer when it comes to the world of wellness. She’s pretty much game to try any revolution in health in the hunt for self-improvement and has used her experience to further major progress for women everywhere. Plagued by severe eczema from an early age, Whittel says she has always been interested in what makes and keeps people well. “I realized that what I ate, how much I exercised and slept, and my stress load all impacted the amount of eczema covering my body,” she says.

Check out the SCALE DOWNand SCALE UP cues for customizing these exercises to your fitness level. Ever notice how one arm can crank out more curls than the other? Or that it’s easier to do single-leg squats on, say, your right leg? “That’s because many of us have structural imbalances where one side of the body is stronger than the other,” says Adam Rosante, a strength and nutrition coach and the founder of the online training program and app Strong(h)er. Rather than shrug it off and move on, muscle up. “Your goal is to create an even balance of strength—and therefore a balanced-looking physique,” Rosante says. When one side of the body is stronger than the other, it creates a pull on your alignment that you’ll start to feel in…

There are so many types of seaweed, and the fun part is playing with the range of flavors and textures, says chef Kim Alter of Nightbird and Linden Room in San Francisco, who uses the ocean veggies often. Some are soft, some crunchy, others snappy, but they all bring a rich umami flavor to your food and a nice briny hit. If you’re just starting to cook from the sea, try these three varieties first: nori,which are crisp, papery sheets with an earthy taste; wakame, kelp-like leaves that are salty-sweet; and hijiki, thin strips with a slightly bitter flavor. “Their versatility makes them ideal to experiment with,” Alter says. And they’re easy to find. Here’s a primer to cook from. Crisp up spicy chips: Top ribbons of wakame with shichimi…

There’s a whole lot of sniffling and sneezing going on...and on and on. “Because of climate change, temperatures are staying warmer well into the fall and plants are producing more pollen. Ragweed season is nearly a month longer than it was 20 years ago,” says Sandra Y. Lin, M.D., the vice director of the Department of Otolaryngology–Head and Neck Surgery at Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine.

CHANGE IS EXHILARATING. Science shows it stimulates your brain, broadens your perspective, and boosts your performance. And if you make it at the most unexpected times—when your job, your workout, and your relationships are running smoothly—change can be especially powerful. “It opens the door to exciting new opportunities, which takes your skills to the next level and shows you that you can handle challenges,” says K. Anders Ericsson, Ph.D., a coauthor of Peak: Secrets From the New Science of Expertise. “Positive change puts you in control of your life.” Change also prevents you from getting stuck or losing steam. Take your job: After a year or so, you feel a steadiness and a sense of competency that is reassuring and comforting, Ericsson says. Gradually, though, your work can start to…

Power Up HITTING THE 3 P.M. SLUMP? Take a few flights of these rather than a shot of java, new research the journal & Behavior Physiology suggests. Sleep-deprived women in the study who walked up down stairs for 10 minutes es felt significantly more energized and motivated to work than those who had 50 milligrams of caffeine—roughly the amount in half a cup of coffee. Researchers aren’t sure exactly why stairs so much more potent, but study author Patrick O’Connor, Ph.D., such as plausible that stair walking promotes the release of brain neurotransmitters, norepinephrine and dopamine, that promote feelings of energy.” Caffeine, meanwhile, staves off sleepies by blocking the actions of adeno sine, a neurotransmitter that contributes to fatigue.

Many things can trigger the release of pigment molecules from your strands, which makes your color become dull. But the top two offenders are: WATER Every time you wet your hair (even by sweating), moisture causes its outer cuticle layer to swell and lift a bit, which lets color molecules escape when hair is washed or rinsed, says Christine Thompson, a co-owner of Spoke and Weal salons in New York City, Chicago, and Los Angeles. Water can also contain metals like copper, “which can penetrate the hair and cause your color to oxidize,” says Rolanda Wilkerson , Ph.D., a principal scientist at Procter & Gamble. Worse yet is pairing moisture with sun. “If your hair is wet and you add sun to the mix, then you end up with a…

Scan for more motivation! Nature can really turn on your senses for a deeper mind-body connection. There’s a beautiful thing that happens when you leave the confines of the yoga studio— the walls come down, mentally as well as physically. “Fresh air encourages people to breathe a little easier, and being outside feels less confining, which often results in people stretching more deeply and opening their bodies more freely,” says Rebecca Weible, the founder of Yo Yoga in New York City, which offers classes outside. The benefits extend down to the ground you’re standing on. If you’re practicing on grass or sand, the uneven surface may make it harder to balance, but the stability challenge can strengthen your core and leg muscles, Weible says. The nonuniform terrain also forces…

Your HIIT routine could be doing double duty to elevate your fitness gains, and it takes only a patch of grass, sand, or pavement to upgrade from those sprintervals, says trainer Jacqueline Kasen from Anatomy at 1220 fitness club in Miami Beach “By using cones in a HIIT workout, you’re focusing on fat loss as well as agility training and motor skills,” Kasen says.
