ACE YOUR BASE Beauty pros swear that makeup brushes deliver the most natural and radiant foundation effect—something the smarties at By Terry took to heart when designing the new Light-Expert Click Brush ($65, b-glowing.com), which has liquid foundation built right in. One pump and its bristles fill with just the right amount of illuminating pigment; simply blend the silky formula all over using circular motions for a soft, dewy finish. YOUR SOLUTION TO CITY SKIN Pollution doesn’t just wreck the environment—it’s beating up your complexion, too. Fine particles floating in the air (from things like traffic emissions and soot) can break down your skin barrier, according to scientists at Procter & Gamble, who compared the effects of city versus suburban living on more than 200 women in a recent study.…

6min Amount of extra time you should take eating your meal to net a smidge more calorie burn. Chewing slowly doesn’t just help you better gauge your hunger; it also prompts your body to turn up its furnace and use more energy to digest food plus absorb and store nutrients. SOURCE: Tokyo Institute of Technology Veggies are the latest to go under the knife in the nose-to-tail dining trend. “Peels and tops are full of nutrients and nuanced flavors. So often, we’re throwing out the best part,” says cook and farmers’ market vendor Alana Chernila, the author of The Homemade Kitchen. She likes to pair components of a vegetable in a single dish, as in caramelized fennel topped with chopped fronds, or roasted carrots drizzled with this savory pesto: In…

If your complexion is suddenly greasy and broken out, red and blotchy, or dry and flaky, there are, of course, the usual suspects to blame: your period (high androgen levels can cause pimples), stress (anxiety stokes inflammation in the skin, spurring acne), or a night of not enough zzz’s (which ups stress and interrupts skin repair). But beyond those, there are more mysterious things that can lead your skin to rebel out of the blue, things the pros look for—and now you will, too. For instance, when his patients who travel routinely returned complaining of skin issues, Dennis Gross, M.D., a dermatologist in New York City, began questioning whether the different tap water could be at play. Sure enough, he discovered that what comes out of your faucet can dictate…

It’s about time to take your runs back inside, and we’ve got the heart-pumping, muscle- musclesculpting mash-up that will actu- sculpting actually make you look forward to ally heading to the treadmill again. “This combo is the perfect full-body routine,” says Debora Warner, the founder of the Mile High Run Club, a fitness studio in New York City whose group treadmill-to-strength-training classes are a hit with runners and regular gym-goers alike. And since you need to run only a quarter mile at a time, anyone can ace it. (But we guarantee that after a few weeks of doing this routine, you’ll also increase your endurance.) How it works: You do a quarter mile at close-to-sprint speed, then hop off the treadmill for a quick set or two of kettlebell moves.…

They’re each extremely healthy in their own way, but together, cruciferous vegetables and a lean cut of steak are a powerful combination , says Keri Gans, R.D.N., a Shape advisory board member and the author of The Small Change Diet. In addition to protein and iron, beef is rich in selenium, a mineral that boosts the immune system, regulates thyroid hormones, and protects against cancer. Broccoli, radishes, and other cruciferous veggies also have cancer-fighting power, thanks to high levels of the compound sulforaphane. Pair the two superstars and you’ve got a delicious healthy dish. Crunchy Vegetable and Beef Salad Serves: 4 Active time: 20 minutes Total time: 35 minutes 1 cup plus 2 tablespoons rice wine vinegar 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lime juice 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard 1 tablespoon plus…

They may look like white carrots, but they have a sweet nutty taste that’s all their own. And it's precisely that rich flavor that makes these nutritious root veggies (a cup of parsnips has more than five grams of fiber and lots of B vitamins, including folate) deliver big at dinner or in a dessert. Grab a bunch and get cooking with these three ways work with them. Salt-roast Them “Mix four to five cups of kosher salt with some chopped thyme, rosemary, black peppercorns, and cold water, creating a sandy texture. Spread a thin layer on a sheet pan, add parsnips, and cover fully with the rest of the salt mixture. Bake for 30 minutes at 400 degrees, cut open with a knife, remove parsnips and drizzle with oil.”…

There’s a sneaky type of anxiety that lurks beneath your consciousness, undetected for the most part but certainly not inert . This isn’t that obvious angst we feel when we’re under recognizable duress, but rather a vague mental and physical state that experts call iceberg stress, so named because the teeny tip that is apparent on the surface is nothing compared with what’s looming below. “Iceberg stress can be triggered by habits so ingrained that we may not always be aware of them, such as perfectionism or negative selftalk,” explains David Lewis, Ph.D., a psychologist and a fellow of the International Stress Management Association. For instance, you look at your neighbor’s house and lament that yours will never be as chic; at work, you worry that your boss is frustrated…

You’ve heard that chomping gum can cut your chance of developing cavities (by revving your production of acidneutralizing saliva). Now there’s proof that it helps you concentrate too.

Find your workout sweet spot. Scan for more online. SLIM YOUR THIGHS IN SEVEN MOVES THE RIGHT WEIGHTS FOR YOUR WORKOUT FREE FITNESS CLASSES! No wonder you’re confused. Depending on when you read or listen to the news, you’re working out either too much or not enough. Last November, shortly after headlines praised the seven-minute workout, emerging research lowered the bar to one minute. (The study, published in the journal PLOS One, found that doing just 60 seconds of intense exercise within an otherwise easy 10-minute workout three times a week boosted endurance and lowered blood pressure.) But if you were paying attention last April, you might have felt like a slacker. That’s when a study in JAMA Internal Medicine pinned the magic number at more like an hour a…

“A trainer told me there is no such thing as lower abs. Really?” —Alyssa, 28, Washington, D.C. Really. Your rectus abdominis (what gives you the appearance of a six-pack) is one big muscle that runs from the bottom of your ribs to the top of your pelvis, explains Michele Olson, Ph.D., a professor of exercise physiology at Auburn University at Montgomery. Any abs move you do will work the entire muscle, but certain moves cause the contraction to kick off at one end or the other. “A crunch makes the top of the rectus abdominis tighten first because you curl your ribs toward your pelvis, whereas a reverse crunch starts the contraction at the lower part because you curl your pelvis toward your chest,” Olson says. For strong, sleek abs…

If you want to really make a difference in your energy levels, you need to start at the source: your mitochondria, the tiny dynamos that live in every cell of the body. These powerhouses convert food into adenosine triphosphate (ATP), which becomes your body’s main source of fuel. “Mitochondria are so important because they regulate the way the body generates energy,” explains Ann Marie Chiasson, M.D., the assistant director of the Fellowship in Integrative Medicine at the University of Arizona. And that process directly affects how quickly you burn fat, how well you recover from exercise, your capacity to fight off disease, and your ability to focus. As you approach your forties, however, your mitochondria become more sluggish and eventually die , thus draining your energy, slowing your metabolism, and…

THE MOTIVATION Two years ago, Joanna discovered that her health was at risk after she gained 50 pounds. “My doctor told me that if I didn’t change my lifestyle, I could end up with type 2 diabetes,” says the mental health therapist. “I quickly chose to get healthy.” NAME Joanna Harberts AGE 36 HOME Ventura, California START WEIGHT 196 lb CURRENT WEIGHT 143 lb THE WORKOUT Joanna joined a gym and invested in personal training sessions that combined cardio, weights, and highintensity intervals. “I was so out of shape I threw up after my first workout!” she says. She also logged time on the treadmill, elliptical, and stairclimber. THE DIET Joanna gave up grilled cheese sandwiches and began eating lean protein, vegetables, and whole grains. But she battled sugar and…

The new emotional eating. FOR LIZ KATZ, a busy marketing manager in New York City, food is mainly about functionality. “I’ve always loved to eat, but my priorities have changed,” says Liz, 27, who grew up watching cooking shows but now doesn’t like to set foot in the grocery store, lest she be tempted by cookies and crackers. “I’m cutting back on carbs, so I mostly have a lot of kale salads and grilled chicken at my desk,” she explains. “My meals are healthy and convenient.” What they are not is particularly pleasurable. For a growing number of Americans, eating has become a mission to get as many good nutrients, such as protein, fiber, and antioxidants, as we can in the least amount of time. We also don’t want to…

Get up, go strong Let us make a case for the morning workout, one that might finally compel you to leap from the sheets straight into spandex. All those seemingly routine tasks you’re about to rack up today—pulling together your outfit, checking email, decluttering your desk—involve decision making, which taps into the same mental-energy reserve that fuels the will to exercise, explains psychologist Josh Davis, Ph.D., the author of the new book Two Awesome Hours. “If you’re mentally fatigued, it’s harder to access that willpower.” Hit the gym first thing, on the other hand, and your mental tank is potentially at its fullest.…

Two body-friendly formulas: argan and pomegranate oils, which can go on fingers, toes, and everywhere in between. “All of your skin needs antioxidants, and these two boast high levels,” Vargas says. SIX GENIUS BEAUTY HACKS THE GUIDE TO PERFECT BROWS FRUIT-INFUSED SKIN CARE For Your Body Because moisture levels take a dive in the winter (damn you, indoor heat, cooler temps, and hot showers! ), you’ll need to use a thicker, richer oil from the neck down. Choose natural plant oils over mineral-based varieties, “and apply the oil immediately after you get out of the shower, when your skin is a little damp, to seal the moisture in,” says Elizabeth Tanzi, M.D., a clinical professor of dermatology at the George Washington Medical Center. You can use body oil alone or,…

Actually, it’s about my pubes if that makes this story less TMI, though somehow I doubt it. Anyway, it was right around the time of my eighth wedding anniversary and I was road-testing the Schick Hydro Silk TrimStyle, a combination hydrating razor and bikini trimmer. In the moment, I had a brilliant idea: Wouldn’t it be a sweet gesture to shave a heart shape just like in the Schick commercial? And I have to say, in the steamy haze of the shower, I thought it looked pretty good. But when I stepped out and faced the mirror, I gasped: That’s no heart, that’s . . . an amoeba? My design was a disaster, but the trouble wasn’t the trimmer. Thanks to my twin pregnancy and C-section scar (totally worth it,…

You can’t call CrossFit a trend anymore. Today there are more than 12,000 boxes (CrossFit gyms) worldwide—up 20 percent from last year, according to CrossFit, Inc. Credit much of CrossFit’s popularity to its body-transforming formula of mixing multi-joint exercises that use heavy weights and are done as quickly as possible with little rest. “Work out this way and you’ll improve muscle tone, feel stronger, and be able to do more exercises after just four to six weeks,” says John Porcari, Ph.D., an exercise physiologist at the University of Wisconsin–La Crosse. You’ll also slash fat. Women who did a CrossFit-style workout with moves like squats, dead lifts, and overhead presses for 20 minutes a day four days a week lost an average of 3.7 percent body fat in 10 weeks, a…
