They’re the ones implementing this on the ground, so any of the companies we work with are coming to the table listening and learning. That’s table…

Going for a stroll after dinner isn’t just a nice part of a nighttime routine. The habit of going for a walk after any meal—breakfast, lunch, or dinner—is actually one of the most effective ways to aid in digestion.“Walking affects two mechanisms at the same time,” explains naturopath Julie Coignet. First, gastric motility: “The gentle movement of the body mechanically stimulates the progression of food through the stomach and intestines, which speeds up gastric emptying and limits fermentation time”—and thus reduces gas and bloating.Second, blood sugar levels: “Walking right after eating engages the muscles, which absorb some of the blood…

Sunscreen in winter might seem a little over-the-top, even for those among us who take their skin care very seriously. But it’s not just that sunscreen itself is important—which it very much is, no matter the season. After all, sunlight is still sunlight, whatever the season. “If you’re outdoors and can see your hand in front of your face, there is enough UV exposure to cause skin damage,” says Mona Gohara, MD, a board-certified dermatologist in New Haven, Connecticut. And on top of that, she adds, snow can act like a giant reflector, bouncing up to 80% of UVA and…
If you’re trying to eat less meat or go fully plant-based, finding a protein-rich meat alternative for meals becomes a top priority. You can turn to the usual suspects—tempeh, legumes, and nuts—or take the road less traveled with unexpected protein sources like seaweed.

Have you heard of seitan?As Real Nutrition founder Amy Shapiro, RD, explains, seitan is a plant-based food made from wheat gluten, the main protein source found in wheat. It’s been used for centuries in Asian cuisines, Shapiro says, and…
Frequently asked questionsWhat’s the best way to prep mature skin for foundation?The best foundation application starts with well-hydrated skin.

She especially recommends hydrating formulas, which are among the best primers for mature…
