Braids are back, big-time. Plait your way to perfection with four takes on this trend. The Fishtail It’s surprisingly easy to do this intricate style, says hairstylist Rodney Groves. Gather hair into a low side ponytail and split it into two sections. Take a 1/2-inch strand from the outside of the left section, and cross it over to join the right. Do the same on the other side, then repeat the process all the way down. Don’t worry if some bits fall out; the goal is imperfection. Secure with an elastic, then tug on either side of the braid: “This makes it look roughed up and effortless,” adds Groves. Finish by creating volume at the crown by back-combing a small section of hair. Lock in the height with a light…

The bad news: You probably just did something that harmed your skin. The good news: There’s an easy way to fix it. Read on to learn about the surprising skin sins that wreak havoc on your looks, and find out how to undo the damage. 1 THE SIN Your 3 p.m. sugar fix Dipping into your coworker’s jar of M&Ms every afternoon can be detrimental to more than just your waistline. “There were once ‘four S’s’ of aging: sun, smoke, stress, and smog,” says Mona Gohara, M.D., associate clinical professor of dermatology at the Yale School of Medicine. “But new research shows there’s a fifth ‘S’ that’s just as damaging—sugar.” Eating too much of the sweet stuff triggers a process known as glycation, during which sugar in the bloodstream binds…

Plagued by springtime sniffles? A diet redo might help. “Some foods can make symptoms worse,” says Clifford Bassett, M.D., the medical director of Allergy and Asthma Care of NY. “For instance, carrots, celery, and stone fruits like peaches may trigger a reaction in people allergic to tree pollen.” On the flip side, these foods may help provide relief. RED GRAPES This fruit is rich in the antioxidant quercetin, which preliminary research shows may prevent immune cells from releasing histamine (the protein that reacts to immune threats by triggering symptoms like watery eyes and itching). Onions and blueberries are also top sources of the compound. RED BELL PEPPER A cup of this crunchy veggie serves up more than 156 percent of the recommended daily dose of vitamin C. Research suggests that…

New research suggests that your cell phone may come with more risks than rewards. Learn how to safeguard yourself from seven potential perils. YYou know that texting while walking across a busy intersection or dialing while driving is a bad idea, for obvious reasons. You’ve also heard horror stories about smartphones harboring more germs than a toilet seat. But as long as you watch where you’re going, don’t text and drive, and wipe down your screen regularly, you’ve got nothing to worry about, right? Not so fast: By 2015, Americans will consume an average of 15 hours of media a day—much of it on mobile devices. (In a 2013 Pew Research study, 91 percent of U.S. adults owned a cell phone, and more than half had one with Internet access.)…

Find your sole mate with our savvy shopping strategies and tips to keep your feet happy and injury-free. Find the right height That oh-so-familiar burning sensation you get when wearing high heels? It’s the result of too much pressure being placed on the ball of the foot, and an indication that it’s time to switch to a lower pair, says Phillip Vasyli, an Australian podiatrist and founder of Vionic Footwear. Over time, this discomfort can develop into metatarsalgia, a common overuse injury that leads to inflammation and pain in your longer toe bones. Heels higher than 2 inches can also tighten your Achilles tendons, says Jamal Ahmad, M.D., a foot and ankle surgeon at Rothman Institute Orthopaedics and Thomas Jefferson University Hospital. Still, perfectly flat shoes aren’t ideal either; their…

Fitness helped this reader get through a rough patch, and now she’s made it her career. “Being outside doing these two activities that I love is my heaven on Earth.” Growing up in Minnesota, where it snows six months out of the year and routinely hits 10 degrees below zero, Tasha McWil-liams knew she wanted to live someplace warm year-round when she got older. “My dream was to be near the ocean,” says Tasha, who had been athletic from a young age. So in 2009, three years after graduating from college, she and her husband packed up and moved south to Palm Beach, FL. Tasha soon found work as a nanny and quickly adjusted to beach life, spending her free time on the sand and staying fit by running and…

GRINNING BIG WITH... Kim Raver New York City native Kim Raver, 45, practically grew up on TV. She made her debut at age 6 on Sesame Street, and since then she’s appeared on shows such as Third Watch and Grey’s Anatomy. This month, the mom of two (Luke, 11, and Leo, 6) is reprising her role as Audrey in the next installment of the Fox hit series 24: Live Another Day. We caught up with Kim in London, where she’s moved with her family to shoot 24. Although mum on the new season, the actress did share a few secrets, including how she gets these killer waves. “‘Everything in moderation’ is my motto. I eat a lot of veggies, whole grains, and fish. But I have my treats too. My…

Ivanka Trump is boss in every sense of the word. How does she manage the super-busy schedule, the new baby, and the buff body? She’s here to tell you—get ready to take notes! THE LAST TIME IVANKA TRUMP GRACED a magazine cover, she was showing off a major baby bump in the October/November 2013 issue of our sister publication Fit Pregnancy (see below). Looking at her lean 5’11" frame here in the pages of Shape, you’d never guess she faced our cameras a mere four months after that baby was born. Seriously, how many women would be brave enough to put on a pair of skinny jeans so soon after welcoming a second child, much less for all the world to see? It clearly takes effort to get so fit…

The routine is based on her popular Bodyshred program (more on that below). You’ll do an intense combo of resistance moves and cardio that takes your heart rate up and down, increasing your fat burn as much as jogging or riding would, while sculpting nearly every muscle in the process. So go ahead and order…

Hiking blasts up to 9 calories a minute, firms your lower body, and challenges your balance. Plus, research shows that people who sweat outdoors get about 30 minutes of activity more each week than indoor exercisers—and have higher self-esteem too. Use these tips from Katie Lambert, a professional rock climber in Bishop, CA, to take your workout off the beaten path. Form check Walking with a correct stance can help prevent fatigue and decrease pressure on your joints. TREK MATE CHOOSE YOUR ROUTE Use a website like alltrails.com to find an appropriately difficult course; keep in mind that it takes roughly an hour to cover 2 miles. DRESS THE PART Choose lightweight clothing made of ripstop fabric, which prevents tears from expanding. Wear a trail-running or lowsided hiking shoe on…

Start in the weight room. Proper technique during resistance exercises is essential if you want to target the right muscles and avoid hurting yourself, and maintaining good form is tough if you’re tired. Plus, cardio burns more calories than resistance training (especially if you include high-intensity intervals); when you end your session with it, your metabolism stays revved up longer, helping you torch more calories. DO I REALLY NEED TO WARM UP BEFORE A WORKOUT? Research is mixed on the performance benefits of a warm-up, but I never skip it. Exercising at an easy effort level gradually raises your heart rate and core body temperature while boosting your muscle elasticity and joint mobility; this helps prep your muscles and joints to move through a full range of motion. Starting with…

Looking for a delicious new cure for the afternoon munchies? Add a few slices of avocado to your lunchtime sandwich or salad. In a recent study published in Nutrition Journal, people who ate half an avocado as part of their midday meal felt 26 percent more satisfied three hours later than those who didn’t have the creamy green fruit. This may be because avocados are high in filling fiber and monounsaturated fats, explains researcher Michelle Wien, DrPH, R.D., the immediate past president of the California Dietetic Association. This sense of fullness appears to extend into the evening, as well: The avocado group consumed an average of 83 fewer calories throughout dinner and an evening snack. Over time, this deficit can add up to a significant weight loss, says Wien. That’s…

If snacking on cookies, chips, or other treats regularly becomes a binge, some experts might consider you an addict. Here’s what you should know about compulsive eating—and how to maintain a healthy relationship with food. Katie Allen, 28, knows this much about her sweet tooth: It demands attention every day. If she makes even a halfhearted attempt to ignore it—and that’s a big “if”—she gets headachy and can’t concentrate. So she makes sure she’s never caught empty-handed, keeping a stash of granola bars at work and stocking her pantry at home with bags of candy, along with all the ingredients necessary to whip up her favorite chocolate cake with peanut butter frosting. Homemade cookies, cupcakes, and ice cream crowd out everything else in her freezer. “I’ll come home from the…

Are your eyes irritated? Your ZIP code may be partially to blame. Rates of dry eye syndrome in cities with high levels of air pollution (including most metropolitan areas) are 40 percent higher than the national average, according to new research presented at the American Academy of Ophthalmology’s annual meeting. “When microscopic particles land on the eye’s surface, they can induce a reaction that leads to changes in your tear film, ocular pain, and even nerve damage,” says lead author Anat Galor, M.D., assistant professor of clinical ophthalmology at the University of Miami. To reduce your risk while indoors, employ an air-filtration system, keep humidity between 45 and 55 percent, and inspect regularly for mold, a common irritant. Wear sunglasses outdoors, and avoid direct exposure to wind (like riding in…

A weight-loss clinic gave this reader the support and motivation she needed to slim down and get healthy. Donna Martinez’s naturally slim frame allowed her to eat whatever she wanted and experiment with modeling during her teen years. “I had a healthy, athletic build and never worried about how I looked,” the Tennessee native says. When Donna joined the military as a crew chief on a fighter aircraft at age 17, her physically challenging assignment helped her keep the scale steady at 125 pounds. “I was always on my feet and lifting heavy tools and equipment,” she says. While she loved her job, Donna, who’d gotten married at 19, decided to leave her post and become a stay-at-home mom after having her second child at age 26. “I held on…

Ivanka Trump relies on no-gear exercises like these to keep her sane and sculpted. The reason this mom of two is so toned just months after giving birth: consistency. “Ivanka got into fantastic shape before her second pregnancy, and continued exercising throughout it,” says her trainer, Rhonda Malkin. “That made it easier for her to bounce back.” Six weeks postpartum, our cover star eased into her regular fitness routine again, working out with Malkin twice a week and squeezing in five to 10 minutes of cardio and core exercises solo on the other days. Her trainer, a former Rockette, developed her own method, called Fusion Exercise, that incorporates dance, yoga, Pilates, and massage, and uses only body weight. This plan includes six of the duo’s favorite Fusion moves for targeting…

Listening to Katy Perry won’t just motivate you; it can make workouts feel less taxing too. In a recent study at Brunel University in London, cyclists who synchronized their pedal strokes with music experienced less leg discomfort. Focusing on a song’s beat prevents some muscle feedback from reaching the central nervous system; as a result, you don’t feel as tired or achy, according to Costas Karageorghis, Ph.D., the deputy head of research at the university’s School of Sport and Education.

Maria Sharapova is infamous for her on-court grunting—and she may be on to something: Making guttural sounds doesn’t just distract your opponent; it’s proven to improve your offense too. Players who utter loud noises while swinging their rackets hit more powerfully—without using any extra energy—according to a recent study from the University of Nebraska Omaha. “Producing a sound increases tension in the core and hip muscles,” says study coauthor Kris Berg, Ed.D. “This likely boosts trunk stabilization, which allows more force to be transmitted to the arms and shoulders as you swing.” So leave the silence to the spectators! 90% Amount of experienced runners who say they rarely get sick SOURCE: AMERICAN COLLEGE OF SPORTS MEDICINE Go for a Ride May is National Bike Month, and whether you cycle for…

Think outside the pie! This colorful vegetable adds depth and balance to a surprising range of dishes. Tangy spring rhubarb is a perennial favorite for sweet-tart pies, crisps, and jams. But don’t sideline this fruit-like vegetable into playing only a dessert role in your kitchen. “Rhubarb’s natural tartness also cuts through the richness of savory dishes, such as duck and beef,” says chef Curtis Stone, owner of Maude in Beverly Hills and host of Bravo’s Top Chef Masters. Incorporating the veggie into heartier entrées brings not only a complex flavor note but an extra dose of nutrition: One cup contains 10 percent of all the calcium you need in a day, plus heart-healthy fiber and vitamin K, all for just 26 calories. Look for some at a farmers’ market or…

The foundation of a perfectly cooked meal is good prep work, and that begins with cutting technique, says Shape contributing editor Judy Joo, executive chef at the Playboy Club London, a judge for Iron Chef America, and an Iron Chef on the U.K. version of the show. Here, she shares her expert tips on how to slice everything right. SECURE YOUR STATION Cutting boards warp over time, which can make them wobbly. For a more stable surface, place a damp paper towel on the counter and top it with your board to prevent it from slipping. STEP 1 Use a “choke” hold. Home cooks tend to hold their chef’s knives by the handles, but it’s safer to move your grip higher. The pros call it “choking up”: Your hand should…

Parlez-vous frangais? If so, you’re in luck: Knowing a second language-French or otherwise-staves off age-related memory loss, according to a recent report in the journal Neurology. When researchers in India compared nearly 650 case files, they found that bilingual patients developed Alzheimer’s disease and other forms of dementia an average of four and a half years later than those who spoke only their native tongue. Previous studies have suggested that fluency in two languages keeps more areas of the brain active, and can improve observation, decisionmaking, and multitasking skills as well.

NO SURPRISE HERE, but a study published in the Archives of Sexual Behavior confirms that men and women just out of long-term relationships tend to seek “rebound sex” to feel good about themselves or, in some cases, to get back at their exes. Those who’d been dumped engaged in the practice more often, and for a longer period of time, than those who did the dumping, says coauthor M. Lynne Cooper, Ph.D., professor of psychology at the University of Missouri. (The 12-week study followed people who’d broken up five to eight months earlier, and some participants were still hopping in the sack with new people the entire time.) If you’ve recently been the victim of a bad breakup, you could be vulnerable to this type of behavior, says Cooper; it’s…

The way you interact with your doctors can have big implications for your comfort, confidence, and quality of care. To help physicians and their clients better understand each other, health experts at Vitals—an online database of doctor and facility reviews—identified the three most common patient types. Take this quiz to find out which one you are, plus how to play up your strengths and work on your weaknesses. A typical day off consists of… A. Catching up on the news, trying a new restaurant, doing whatever’s already in your planner. B. Relaxing, spending time with family, avoiding the computer or social media. C. Checking Facebook, creating Pinterest boards, meeting up with friends. If you needed to find a new doctor, you would most likely… A. Look at reviews online, then…

THE BOYS MIGHT BE ON TO SOMETHING: Take a page from their training book with this intense new plan—and get on the fast track to a fit body. SHIFT INTO HIGH GEAR You’ve seen guys at your gym slamming giant ropes, so why haven’t you tried it? Although equipment like this (plus sandbags, kettlebells, and weighted sleds) used to be the stuff of football and mixed martial arts workouts, it’s now a mainstay in many health clubs—and using it can challenge your body big-time. “Waving ropes keeps constant tension on your arms, shoulders, and back while revving your heart rate,” says Kelvin Gary, a trainer and the owner of Body Space Fitness in NYC. “And because kettlebells and sandbags are unsteady, you have to work hard to stabilize them, which…
