April 16, 2019 at 07:00AM by CWC If there’s one thing I’ve learned in the four years I’ve spent writing for Well+Good, it’s that drinking water is mad important—maybe even the most important thing you can do for your health. CBD oil and adaptogens are cool and all, but unlike water, they’re generally not essential… Continue Reading →

April 15, 2019 at 08:43AM by CWC I’m somewhat of a cactus hoarder. I have all different kinds, of all shapes and sizes, scattered throughout my apartment. (Some of them even have names, like four-foot tall Prickles.) Despite my love of the desert plant, it’s never occurred to me that their benefits expand far beyond… Continue Reading →

April 10, 2019 at 01:00PM by CWC As someone who works out regularly, I try my best to be a good healthy person and hydrate properly. So I’m constantly lugging my trusty water bottle around and refilling it (and consequentially, peeing) like it’s my job. But I’m also a human—which means that I sometimes get… Continue Reading →

March 25, 2019 at 03:00PM by CWC Is it just me, or does everyone else drink way more water during the work day, but then just…stops drinking once they get home? Personally, I always forget to drink water unless there is a cup sitting right in front of my face—which is possible at my desk,… Continue Reading →

March 14, 2019 at 12:54PM by CWC It’s hard to believe that just a year ago, finding a cafe that served oat milk was a rarity. Now, it’s totally commonplace. Baristas love oat milk because it froths better than almond or soy, which is crucial for creating that perfect foamy texture. And consumers like it… Continue Reading →

March 11, 2019 at 11:31AM by CWC When I first overheard my colleagues discussing the benefits of “worm tea,” I nearly gagged. The idea of sipping on a warm cup of slimy invertebrates gave me the creeps, I don’t care how healthy it is. But unlike chamomile or hibiscus varieties (and much to my relief),… Continue Reading →

February 15, 2019 at 06:49AM by CWC The importance of staying hydrated—especially when you’re working out—cannot be understated. While it’s not uncommon to see people carrying around gallon jugs of water at the gym, it is in fact possible to overdose on water. Unfortunately, what happens when you drink too much water during a workout… Continue Reading →

February 11, 2019 at 08:35AM by CWC Like a lot of people, I’m a big coffee drinker. Sometimes just the promise of a frothy oat milk latte is what gets me out of bed when it’s cold outside and I’d rather hit the snooze button. Which is why I wasn’t exactly thrilled when a friend… Continue Reading →

January 11, 2019 at 10:10AM by CWC So, your Instagram feed has been overrun by “Dry January” posts? Same, same. With everyone zeroing in on the practice, the staff of Well+Good couldn’t help but wonder whether going “moist”—not dry—throughout the first month of the year might be a catalyst for healthier booze-related decisions all year… Continue Reading →

January 10, 2019 at 01:19PM by CWC Call it the Instagram effect, but chances are the inside of your fridge is looking pretty ~cute~ these days. While in generations past, packaging for healthy food and drinks looked more crunchy than cool, now, it’s hard to imagine a brand launching without a sans serif font and… Continue Reading →

December 11, 2018 at 01:54PM Gender bias is certainly real, but women likely enjoy happy hour just as much as their guy friends. That’s why it’s infuriating to think about how the alcohol industry is so largely male-dominated—both in terms of who is working in it and who the products are being marketed to. It was… Continue Reading →

November 06, 2018 at 12:24PM Getting a good night of sleep is basically as important to your health as Zayn Malik was to One Direction—without it, everything eventually falls apart. And now there may be even more reason to prioritize getting those sweet zzz’s. A new study published in the journal SLEEP found a connection between… Continue Reading →

November 01, 2018 at 12:49PM For the past several years, kombucha‘s had the probiotic beverage market on lock. But there’s a new fermented drink on the rise that just might give your old fave a run for its money. It’s called water kefir, and it’s even being hailed as—dare we say—the new ‘booch. Chances are,… Continue Reading →

November 01, 2018 at 12:49PM There are a whole lot of things you’ve got to take into consideration when you’re tackling a run. What should I wear? What route should I take? Am I going to do it alone, or should I hit up a friend? Something that commonly gets overlooked: How much water should… Continue Reading →
