February 21, 2020 at 01:00AM by CWC If there is one thing that is (often unfairly) hammered upon new mothers, it’s the importance of breastfeeding. It’s also one of the most emotionally and physically demanding things you can ask of a new mother. You’re expected to be the sole source
February 18, 2020 at 01:30PM by CWC Taylor Johnson-Gordon is on a mission to help Millennial Black mothers feed their families plant-based food—and to shorten their to-do list in the process. Through Sistah of the Yam, she offers guidance and support with everything from meal planning to shopping lists to
February 17, 2020 at 10:00AM by CWC I’ll just come right out and say it: I love coffee. I love the taste, the way it smells, and the act of ordering it at a coffeeshop. Even forking over that extra dollar for oat milk brings me joy. The one thing
February 15, 2020 at 02:00AM by CWC If you like to geek out on herbs—which at Well+Good HQ, is definitely considered an acceptable pastime—you might already be familiar with adaptogens. Adaptogens are herbs that, when taken regularly, can help bring balance to the body and help it better handle stress.
Since what you eat can have a major effect on your body, digestive issues are incredibly common. FODMAPs are types of carbohydrates found in certain foods, including wheat and beans. Studies have shown strong links between FODMAPs and digestive symptoms like gas, bloating, stomach pain, diarrhea and constipation. Low-FODMAP diets
February 13, 2020 at 01:00AM by CWC [youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2OZtgAA4XMY] Chestnuts aren’t just for the holidays. Here’s how to cook them to make a savory, hearty breakfast. Unless they’re getting name-dropped in Christmas songs, chestnuts don’t get much attention. Almonds, peanuts, and cashews are so popular that they’re downright basic, but
February 11, 2020 at 04:00PM by CWC “It’s what could happen—it’s completely possible. We don’t know how bad things can get.” That’s the message functional medicine practitioner Will Cole, DC, wants to spread about the 2008 Pixar film WALL-E being a prophetic, cautionary vision regarding the future if we don’t
February 10, 2020 at 01:00PM by CWC I don’t think it’s any secret that our current food system is, well, broken. It’s not okay—or even logical—that a hamburger costs less than a salad. It’s not okay that 70 percent of the world’s human use of water goes to animal production—not, in
February 09, 2020 at 06:00PM by CWC When a wellness goal of eating healthy reaches a point where it’s totally stressing you out, it’s pretty much counterproductive. (We all know how bad stress is, right?) But it makes sense why so many people get burned out trying to figure out
February 06, 2020 at 03:00PM by CWC Benjamin Franklin once said that we can only expect two things from life: death and taxes. Well, there’s actually a third thing that the Founding Father neglected to add to the list, and that is digestive issues. (Sorry, Ben, but you know it’s
February 05, 2020 at 03:00PM by CWC Melatonin supplements have had a constant home on my nightstand since I was 12 years old—so I guess you could say that sleep and I have had quite the rocky relationship over the years. And, in that regard, I’m hardly alone: When Well+Good
February 03, 2020 at 10:03PM by CWC Just when you thought you’d figured out CBD, scientists go discover a whole new cannabis compound—and this one may be the most potent yet. In a study published by the journal Nature, a team of Italian scientists reported their discovery of tetrahydrocannabiphorol (THCP),
February 03, 2020 at 08:00PM by CWC You probably have thoughts about herpes. Some may be accurate, but others may be born more of stigma (and jokes, of which herpes is often the punchline) than any actual truth about the virus. My personal understanding of herpes—a common, sexually-transmitted virus that
February 03, 2020 at 07:00PM by CWC Ever since the term “natural skin care” started trending, it’s largely been used as a catch-all for products made from plants. It’s also a term that’s subtly suggestive of superior health benefits: As the clean beauty industry narrative goes, botanically based skin care
February 03, 2020 at 02:00PM by CWC There are few foods out there with more of an enduring healthy reputation than smoothies. Experts love to recommend them for breakfasts, colorful recipes are splashed all over wellness influencers’ feeds, and they’re a mainstay of many wellness-minded restaurant menus. It makes sense
February 01, 2020 at 12:00PM by CWC Meatloaf has been a family dinner staple since ancient Rome, and—without giving you a full-on history lesson—let’s just say it’s changed a lot since then. (The recipe used to call for animal brains, okay?) It’s safe to say that a transformation was very
January 31, 2020 at 10:00PM by CWC Adding chef-level flavor to your meals doesn’t have to be complicated. You can use herbs and spices, a squeeze of citrus, or—my personal favorite—a sauce. In particular, you can use this creamy avocado-loaded aioli that tastes good on literally everything. I’m talking roasted
January 31, 2020 at 12:00PM by CWC When it comes to keeping the fridge stocked with healthy foods, there are two obstacles many people cite: cost, and having no clue what to buy. It’s true that walking into a big supermarket can be overwhelming (So.Many.Aisles.), which is why it helps
January 31, 2020 at 03:00AM by CWC It’s easy to think of salad as boring—something you only eat because you know you should. The truth is salads are really only dull if you make them dull, and if you’re not fully enjoying every bite of those beautiful greens, there’s a
January 30, 2020 at 04:30PM by CWC Once edgy and under-the-radar, CBD has officially become mainstream. CBD tinctures and gummies are likely already part of your holistic toolkit to deal with cramps, anxiety, or trouble sleeping. But the next level of using and enjoying the popular cannabinoid: incorporating it into
January 30, 2020 at 01:00AM by CWC [youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SvW35toe6Gc] This healthy trail mix is guaranteed to be your new energizing snack of choice. Here’s how to make it. The 4 p.m. slump is one of the most persistent banes of existence. Unless you live in Spain and are allowed daily
January 29, 2020 at 03:00PM by CWC If you’d asked me just five years ago if I would ever try reiki or acupuncture, you would have been met with an emphatic “no.” I long associated those practices with crunchy-granola hippies in Berkeley, California—they worked for some people, but were definitely
January 28, 2020 at 02:00AM by CWC It’s safe to say that for a long time, “healthy” food didn’t always make the mouth water. Watery, low-fat milk, rubbery tofu with no seasonings, and stomach-churning macrobiotic salads were long the staples of health-conscious households, none of which were about to win
January 27, 2020 at 06:00PM by CWC If you’ve scanned every corner of the produce aisle trying to scout out arugula with no luck, a trip to the eye doctor isn’t necessary. It’s not there, and you’re not the only one who hasn’t been able to find it. Veggie lovers
January 26, 2020 at 02:00PM by CWC Even though the drugstore beauty aisle has gotten a serious upgrade over the past couple of years, stocking dermatologist-backed, better-for-your-skin options, the hair selection has been slower to change. Last year, Herbal Essences partnered with the EWG to launch a truly game-changing clean
January 25, 2020 at 02:00PM by CWC After a particularly busy month, I deemed myself in need of some deep pampering. I’d been burning the candle at both ends, doing extra work during the day, and attending events in the evenings. I was getting a lot done and having a
January 23, 2020 at 06:00PM by CWC As if attending the 62nd Annual Grammy Awards wasn’t cool enough—the glitz! the glamour!—there’s now another reason why scoring a seat would be the ultimate win: You get a Grammys gift bag that’s jam-packed with wellness goodies. Now, don’t get me wrong. Awards
January 23, 2020 at 04:26PM by CWC Recovery is a hot topic among fitness folk: What does “active recovery” really look like? How many rest days should you take anyway? Is there really a right way to foam roll? The questions around this should-be-rejuvenating part of your workout routine never
January 23, 2020 at 12:00AM by CWC True or false: Organic produce is always grown without pesticides. If you answered true…sorry, but you’ve got it twisted. Surprising, right? The truth is that many organic farmers rely on pesticides and herbicides—substances used protect crops from insects, weeds, and infections—from a relatively
January 18, 2020 at 06:00PM by CWC Wouldn’t it be great if we could just know how to be the healthiest, happiest, and most fulfilled versions of ourselves? Of course, there’s something to be said for embracing the trial-and-error journey of finding what works for you, but we also have
