I’m in the business of giving advice—gleaned from the amazing experts we work with every issue and my own years of experience. So when it comes to the advice that starts to circulate around the beginning of a new year, I’ve heard it all—or so I thought. Then I sat down to read “Joy of the Jump Start” (page 110), and I found myself taking notes. Not editing, not commenting, but actually pecking notes into my phone. Because the advice was THAT GOOD. And I’m a tough customer. There are many ways to approach January 1: fresh start, penance for December, just another date on the calendar. But going into the new year excited to embark on a venture that will make you feel good, think more clearly, sleep…

the urge to detox this time of year isn’t only a mental thing. “Many people need to get their skin and hair back into balance after the holidays, as well as adjust to the cold and dry weather,” says Dara Kennedy, the founder of Ayla, a natural beauty studio in San Francisco. To do it, you’ll want to change up your beauty routine in smart, simple ways to rehydrate first, and then to brighten, smooth, tone, and more. Your makeup can also benefit from a few swaps to help you achieve an on-trend look that matches your skin tone. It’s a total refresh that leaves you appearing and feeling energized, and it starts here. Skin Reboot It begins with a deep clean. But rather than scrub at skin (which…

MAKE POM YOUR WORKOUT PARTNER. Certain types of polyphenol antioxidants, like those found in pomegranate juice, may help increase nitric oxide bioavailability by protecting it from breaking down in the body. Nitric oxide helps your body get the oxygen and nutrients it needs during exercise. POM Wonderful 100% Pomegranate Juice is known for its polyphenol antioxidants. An in vitro study at UCLA found that each serving has more antioxidant capacity, on average, than red wine and green tea. Every athlete should stock the fridge with POM. DRINK POM AND CARRY ON, AND ON, AND ON. A 2011 study conducted at UT at Austin on 17 athletic men found preliminary but promising results for muscle strength. Those who drank two servings (about 8oz each) of pomegranate juice per day for…

“AS A HEALTH COACH, I KNOW THE IMPORTANCE AND VALUE OF GETTING ENOUGH FIBER DAILY. THE CHALLENGE IS THE BEST MOTIVATOR TO KEEP ME CONSISTENT AND ACCOUNTABLE, PLUS IT TASTES GREAT! I RECOMMEND IT TO ALL MY CLIENTS.”–Chris Freytag, Fitness Professional #1 DAY 1 Every morning, I start my day with 8 to 10 ounces of water with lemon. On my first day of the challenge, I started my routine and added Metamucil. I was pleasantly surprised to find that it dissolved well and tasted delicious. The first thing I thought was, “Wow, my clients will love this.” #6 DAY 6 It was really easy for me to take Metamucil every day because I kept it on the kitchen counter so I couldn’t miss it in the morning. I’ve…

Magnesium The mineral relaxes your muscles to relieve cramps. It also balances insulin levels to help conditions like polycystic ovarian syndrome, says Cindy Klinger, R.D.N., a dietitian in Oakland, California. Aim for 320 milligrams a day, from almonds, flaxseeds, and legumes. Vitamin D Low levels are associated with yeast infections, urinary tract infections, and bacterial vaginosis, says Anita Sadaty, M.D., an integrative gynecologist in Roslyn, New York. Vitamin D revs production of antimicrobial compounds called cathelicidins. She says getting up to 2,000 IU a day is safe, from a supplement or salmon and fortified dairy products. Maca Widely available in powder form, this superfood plant contains a mix of calcium, magnesium, and vitamin C to balance the stress hormones that kill sex drive, Dr. Sadaty says. (It’s especially beneficial…

After a long swim in the San Fran cisco Bay, my whole body is exhausted in the most amazing postworkout way. If you remember swimming when you were a kid, it’s just like that—when you’d get out of the water and you would be happy and hungry and need to take a nap. Growing up, I was always the first one to get in the pool or ocean, but as an adult, running had become my cardio. I often heard people describe the experience of running as being in the zone, but whenever I ran, I would instead spend most of my workout thinking, When will this be over? One unseasonably warm day a year ago, a friend who is a triathlete asked me to meet up for a…

Commit to One Little Thing Daily “Implement a new ritual as a daily practice, so it becomes a habit. That may be eating one plant-based meal a day, doing an 11-minute morning meditation, or engaging in a gentle movement practice. Creating a ritual makes it personal and will inspire you to find happiness in the activity rather than just another to-do on the long list of tasks.” —Karla Dascal, founder of Sacred Space Miami CLEANSE YOUR MIND “I like to start any journey with a blank canvas. For example, when I wanted to overhaul my diet, I emptied my kitchen of all foods that weren’t going to make my body feel good. But I also emptied my mind of negative opinions, from others and from myself. Making a shift…

Magic is a word makeup artist Charlotte Tilbury says a lot. Before she launched her beauty brand, she spent years mixing her own “magic cream” backstage at fashion shows and photo shoots to transform her clients’ tired skin. The hyaluronic acid and peptide formula, now called Charlotte’s Magic Cream ($100, charlottetilbury.com), has reached cult status worldwide. And when Tilbury wants a magical recharge, she heads to Ibiza with her husband, George, and two sons, Flynn and Valentine. “It’s where I spend time with them, relax, and dance late into the night—it’s my magic beautifying fuel.” The first time she wore makeup? “Completely magical! I was 13, at boarding school, and I put on mascara. Everyone at every age reacted to me differently. I felt mesmerizing and so confident.” Creating…

Aloe If you have scalp issues, like dandruff or itchiness, then aloe may be your antidote. “It is marvelously moisturizing and soothing,” says Elham Eghbali, Ph.D., a cosmetic chemist in Germany. The succulent’s gel has anti-inflammatory properties and is rich in amino acids and polysaccharides, all of which can help calm an irritated scalp. You can scoop a bit of gel from the inside of an aloe leaf and apply it to your damp scalp preshampoo. Another easy way to give your head a dose: After you shampoo, massage [1] Dove DermaCare Scalp Soothing Moisture Anti-Dandruff Conditioner ($5, drugstores) into your roots, then wait a few minutes before you rinse. Coconut Oil You may already use this tropical-smelling salve to grease a pan or hydrate your lips. If you…

For insanely delicious vegetables, you need to infuse them with spicy, sweet, and savory notes from the inside out, so there are no bland interiors,” says Michael Solomonov, the award-winning executive chef at and co-owner of Zahav in Philadelphia and the coauthor of the recent cookbook Israeli Soul. That’s where brining comes in, he says. It imbues your veggies with flavor and tenderizes the inside, while the salt or sugar in the mixture makes the outside crisp when you cook them. For a bold Middle Eastern spin, try Solomonov’s signature shawarma brine: In a large pot, mix together 2 quarts water, 4 tablespoons kosher salt, 1 tablespoon sugar, ½ teaspoon turmeric, ½ teaspoon cumin, ½ teaspoon ground fenugreek, ½ teaspoon cinnamon, and ½ teaspoon baharat (a spice mixture). Warm…

TREADMILLS HAVE A magic that other cardio equipment can’t quite match. Compared with the usual suspects (rowers, Spin bikes, ellipticals, stair climbers, cross-country ski machines), treadmills can help you burn more calories at every intensity. “Also, running on a treadmill promotes dynamic balance, something you don’t get on seated equipment like a bike or a rower,” says Christi Brewer, Ph.D., an assistant professor of exercise science at Eastern Washington University. A new study by Brewer showed that a treadmill run can even outburn a high-intensity weight circuit. At the same heart rate, exercisers doing a steady 20-minute treadmill run burned 37 percent more calories (206) than doing 20 minutes of circuit training with weights (fast-paced reps for 30 seconds and no rest between sets), even though they rated circuits…

Fashion editor turned designer Susan Swimmer created it based on a similar strand she in herited from her stylish mother. “Try wearing two at a time,” she says. “Mix, match, mismatch!” 2–Postworkout Chaser for Your Skin After sweating it out, you need to replenish and protect your skin’s hydration.

THE LINK BETWEEN our skin and our emotions is becoming more understood as researchers and dermatologists see firsthand the effects feelings have on their subjects and patients. We now get that our mood really does show up on our face. “In fact, skin is one of the biggest indicators of our state of mind,” says Merrady Wickes, the head of content and education at the Detox Market. Happy and calm? Your skin tends to maintain its clarity and even adopt an allover radiance and a healthy flush. But when you’re angry, stressed, or anxious, so is your skin; it can turn red, break out in pimples, or flare up with rosacea or psoriasis. Here’s the empowering news: There are things you can do to stop negative emotions from affecting…

Women are hitting the road, skis, and seas more than ever, but we’re also increasingly looking to vacation with other females. “The number of women traveling with us increased about 65 percent from 2010 to 2016, and bookings for women-only trips are up 160 percent in 2019,” says Megan Behrbaum, the manager of Experiences Strategic Communications at REI. At the heart of the appeal is the bonding experience the getaways provide. “There’s a unique vibe,” Behrbaum says. “The environment becomes more about community; there’s no sense of competition or conflict.” The result? A more restorative, rejuvenating trip—and a chance to walk away with some new friends. Many outfitters are offering trips to cater to the growing demand. These five girl getaways run the gamut from thrilling outdoor adventures to…

NEW MOMS used to be told to sit tight for six weeks after having a baby, until their doc gave them the green light to exercise. No more. The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists recently declared that “some women are capable of resuming physical activities within days of delivery” and that ob-gyns should, in the case of an “uncomplicated vaginal delivery, counsel patients that they can begin or resume an exercise program as soon as they feel able.” “We’re not telling women, ‘You better get out there,’ but we’re saying it’s totally fine to do what you feel up to,” says ob-gyn Alison Stuebe, M.D., an associate professor at the University of North Carolina School of Medicine. “Before, there was a sense of, ‘Go home, and don’t get…
