4 Ideas For Radiant Skin At Any Age
Acne is a common problem among teenagers as well as adults. Heredity, stress, hormones and general inflammation all influence the generation of inflamed hair follicles, which result in breakouts. While cleansing the face with mild glycerin soap and applying topical treatments such as tea tree oil or benzoyl peroxide can address blemishes, making dietary changes is almost always helpful.
- Increase your consumption of antioxidant-rich foods, particularly a wide variety of colors of vegetables.
- Include omega-3 fatty acids from foods like wild Alaskan salmon or freshly ground flaxseeds to help reduce and prevent inflammation. If regular consumption is not happening, consider a fish oil supplement for additional omega-3s.
- Drink lots of water to keep the skin hydrated and healthy.
- Limit processed and refined foods – the American Academy of Dermatology says that diet alone shouldn’t be relied upon to address acne, but that a low glycemic index diet and avoiding milk products may help.
And don’t be afraid to eat a piece of dark chocolate now and then – there is no link between chocolate and acne, and dark chocolate actually has antioxidant benefits!

Tasty Holiday Dish: Roasted Glazed Butternut Squash
Butternut squash is the quintessential cold-weather vegetable, the perfect complement to everyday cold-season family meals or lavish holiday celebrations. It can be pureed, mashed and baked into pies or breads, but I prefer this Italian-influenced version, which preserves the unique, yielding texture of the flesh. The nutty sweetness of the butternut finds the perfect counterpoint in tangy balsamic, rich olive oil and sharp, aged cheeses. Don’t forget to save the edible seeds. Enjoy a healthy snack by roasting them on a cookie sheet at 170° F for about 20 minutes.
Food As Medicine
Winter squashes, including the butternut, are rich sources of vitamin A; a cup of baked flesh provides 214 percent of the Daily Value of this vital nutrient. Also, though rich in carbohydrates, many of the butternut’s carbs come from pectins that are a source of fiber that appears to have antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and insulin-regulating properties in addition to serving as fuel for your digestion-supporting probiotic bacteria .

Joovv
If you’ve been looking for a way to reduce stress and fatigue, improve cellular function and immunity, and nourish your endocrine system, including your adrenal thyroid, look no further than red light therapy.
Red light therapy is one of the most effective health modalities you can use with a device in your home. It’s helped improve my sleep, reduce fatigue and headaches, and it’s incredible for reducing inflammation and stress.
Joovv is the leading brand when it comes to effective and safe red light therapy. What I love about Joovv is that it delivers clinical benefits within minutes, and by using scientifically proven wavelengths (660 nm, 850 nm, or a combination of both).
If you’re looking for a red light therapy device for your home go to joovv.com/wellfed.

Being Thankful Is Good For Mental Health
When you thank your friends and family this holiday season, the reasons to do so may extend beyond good wishes, and actually benefit you and your health. Study after study has shown that social connections – through family, friends or with companion animals – seem to pay off in terms of good health, longevity and even prolonged survival among patients with very serious diseases. Some evidence linking good health from strong ties to family and friends includes:
- The immune system’s natural killer cell activity is negatively affected by three “distress indicators” – one of which is lack of social support.
- One study of 75 medical students found that those who were lonely had more sluggish natural killer cells, the ones that help destroy cells infected with viruses and cancer cells, than students who were social.
- Research has shown that people who care for companion animals have less illness than people who do not. Companion animals’ owners also recover from serious illness faster.
- Susceptibility to heart attacks appears to correlate with how often people use the words “I,” “me” and “mine” in casual speech.
- Believe it or not, studies show that people who get out and spend more time with others during cold and flu season actually get fewer episodes of colds or flu than those who choose to be alone.
- Being grateful – and expressing that gratitude – for what you have is associated with both physical and emotional health.
Obviously, this year will be different as the global pandemic continues to present challenges. Social connection must be a top priority. Be certain to work with your loved ones to create an environment that allows for some social distancing and outside gathering time if the weather allows.

Chilly? Warm Up With These Healthy Homemade Soups
A one-pot wonder, soup is pleasing and filling. To get the most out of your soups this fall and winter, consider these three suggestions.
- Add beans and legumes. They are an excellent source of vegetarian protein, high in folic acid, a great source of fiber and a low-glycemic-index food. Try our Lentil Soup recipe.
- Add whole grains. Brown and wild rice are large, intact grains metabolized by the body more slowly than grains ground into flour. These “true whole grains” prevent blood sugar “spikes” that are followed by “lows”, which may induce cravings and fatigue. The result instead is a steady, productive energy with less sugar cravings that propels you through the day. Our Brown Rice Soup with Asparagus is a good source of whole grains.
- Add vegetables. Making soup is a perfect way to serve up plenty of servings of vegetables, as they add depth, texture and taste. Try the Roasted Vegetable Soup recipe.
Another major advantage to soup is that it is often better the next few days after the ingredients and flavors have had time to meld together. Making soup on Sunday often provides several lunches or another dinner during the week for those short of prep time. If you are forgoing homemade soup for canned soup, keep in mind that while canned soups can be good sources of protein, fiber, vitamins and beneficial nutrients such as lycopene, they are notoriously high in sodium. When choosing canned soups, look for low-sodium versions or simply add your own spices and seasonings to no-salt varieties.

Are Scented Candles Harmful To Health?
Burning candles is a convenient, inexpensive way to add ambiance, calm and serenity to a home or office throughout the year. Their warm, soothing touch creates an inviting and comforting atmosphere. For everyday indoor use, you should opt for unscented candles. Some researchers note that unscented candles create less soot than scented varieties – over time this soot can accumulate in lungs and cause respiratory problems. Scented candles may also contribute to indoor pollution and chemical sensitivities. I suggest candles made of unscented beeswax. If an aroma to the room is desired, consider investing in a diffuser and using organic essential oils as a healthy alternative. All of these mentioned ideas are available online or at natural foods stores.

Did you know that over 80% of the population is deficient in Magnesium and it is the #1 mineral you need for stress, fatigue and sleep issues?
Magnesium increases GABA, which encourages relaxation on a cellular level and is critical for sleep. And because stress depletes magnesium, this also means magnesium is needed to support your body’s stress response.
Magnesium is THE single most studied mineral in existence. It powers over 600 critical reactions in our bodies.
Most magnesium supplements fail because they are synthetic and are NOT FULL SPECTRUM.
When you get all 7 critical forms of magnesium, you are supporting every function in your body that requires magnesium, and you can reverse magnesium deficiency and continue to support your body during times of stress and especially during pregnancy with one supplement.
That’s why I’m so excited about Magnesium Breakthrough. I recommend Magnesium Breakthrough because it combines all 7 essential forms of magnesium into one convenient supplement.

I wasn’t doing anything about this until about a year ago, and I was experiencing eye strain, migraines, and an unexplained wired and tired feeling, especially at night. Now I wear BLUblox computer filter glasses anytime I’m looking at screens, and BLUblox sleep lenses at night, and I haven’t experienced symptoms since.
BLUblox was created because they saw the need for a product that was exactly in line with the peer-reviewed academic literature. There are a lot of cheaply made lenses out there that don’t actually block all the blue and green light.

Lower Your Blood Pressure In 4 Simple Steps
Want to lower your blood pressure in four simple steps? It’s not as difficult as you think, and the benefits include a decreased risk of heart attack, stroke, kidney disease, eye problems, erectile dysfunction, cognitive difficulties including dementia and osteoporosis. Adopt the following:
- Ditch the cigarettes. Smoking and vaping can temporarily spike blood pressure, while promoting long-term damage to blood vessel walls, and raising your risk of having a heart attack or stroke.
- Get moving. Research shows that regular aerobic activity, such as brisk walking, swimming and cycling, can reduce blood pressure, possibly by keeping blood vessels flexible. Regular exercise can also help you lose weight and keep it off, which is crucial to the success of any high blood pressure treatment plan. Start slowly and aim for 30 minutes of aerobic activity most days of the week.
- Stay calm. Stress can raise blood pressure, while relaxation techniques appear to lower it. Learn and practice a mind-body approach such as breath work, yoga or meditation and take advantage of its benefits regularly. If you need a low cost and convenient option, consider regularly using a guided meditation app.
- Eat a healthy diet. Adequate intake of micronutrients, including calcium, magnesium and vitamin C, is essential to maintain blood vessel tone and healthy circulation. Realize that most people’s sodium intake comes from breads, pizza and processed foods, not sprinkling table salt. Work on ways of relying on whole foods daily and not store or restaurant prepared meals. Doing this will ensure that using some moderate table salt for flavoring is harmless.
