The childlike way to STRENGTHEN AGING BONES

Permission to skip grueling workouts to bolster your bones in favor of having a little fun! It turns out, to encourage healthy new bone growth and stop further bone loss as you age, all you have to do is jump. The impact of simply hopping around for a few minutes coaxes more calcium into bones, which significantly increases bone density and helps prevent painful fractures if you ever take a tumble. For best results, do three sets of 10 hops each day, keeping a sturdy chair nearby for stability if needed.

The easy way to END SUGAR CRAVINGS

Cravings for sweet foods can be off the charts after the holiday season. Thankfully, you can reset your appetite by enjoying fermented foods like sauerkraut, kombucha, miso paste, and kimchi daily. Their probiotic bacteria colonize the gut, where they release compounds that rein in the brain’s messages that tell you to eat sugar and carbs. What’s more, the bacteria release compounds that help you digest sugar to stave off bloat, headaches, and other not-so-sweet side effects. And all it takes is 2 Tbs. daily to get the benefits.

The sweet way to SLASH DIABETES RISK

Prevent diabetes with a sweetener? It’s true! Researchers at the University of Rhode Island found that pure maple syrup brims with potent antioxidant compounds that increase the sensitivity of fat cells to the blood sugar-regulating hormone insulin. This helps noticeably reduce the risk of diabetes. To get the benefits, drizzle up to 1 Tbs. of pure maple syrup over oatmeal, waffles, or even your morning coffee or tea daily. Tip: To replace white sugar with maple syrup in recipes, substitute every cup of sugar with 3/4 cup of maple syrup.

Soothing soaks FEND OFF COLDS & FLU

Supercharging your body’s defenses against illness is easier than you may think: Simply draw a relaxing bath. Soaking in warm water spiked with apple cider vinegar raises the body’s pH to a level that makes it a less hospitable environment for bacteria and viruses. I advise doing the following twice a week during cold and flu season: Run a tub of the hottest water you can stand and add 2 cups of organic apple cider vinegar. Soak until the water is cool, and avoid showering for at least 4 hours to allow the vinegar to absorb into your skin.

The tasty secret to STRONGER NAILS

by |

There’s a surprising way to strengthen brittle nails in time for a festive New Year’s manicure: Eat an omelet for breakfast! Our nails are 98% protein, which means a deficiency in the nutrient can weaken them. But eating one or two eggs daily supplies protein, plus the amino acid cysteine, which binds the strains of keratin (the main protein in nails) together. For a topical fix, mix 1 egg yolk with 1TBS. of jojoba oil, then massage into nail beds. Rinse after 10 minutes. Doing this three times weekly fortifies nails in 14 days.
