A ton of spa menus offer some version of an “anti-aging” facial—while there is nothing that can truly halt the aging process (and you shouldn’t want to! Aging is living!), these facials target specific signs of aging so you can secure long-term skin health. What does this facial entail, exactly? So glad you asked—allow us to dive in below. Think firming or microcurrent to lift and tone, LED light (especially red LED light) to support elasticity, lymphatic drainage to improve circulation—it covers basically any common concerns someone with mature skin might have....

Read on to learn all about CBN, how it affects the body, and how to use it. CBN is formed after the Cannabis sativa (cannabis) plant is harvested as a degradation product of THC. When THC is exposed to excessive amounts of heat and light (aka oxidation), it turns into a unique metabolite: CBN. Unlike THC, however, CBN does not have psychoactive effects. “A way of looking at it is that all the cannabinoids are like siblings living in the same house....

Ecofeminism also calls attention to the fact that women are disproportionately affected by environmental issues. According to one report from the United Nations, because women worldwide typically hold less monetary wealth and rely on the natural environment more, they are more likely to be displaced by climate change and have to travel farther for resources, like water, as dry seasons extend. Research shows women are also more greatly affected by radiation than men....

A major step? Fighting oxidative stress, one of the primary contributors to aging. Our bodies have natural ways of keeping free radicals in check, though. Plus, free radicals aren’t necessarily malicious. In low to moderate amounts, they can lend a hand. For instance, white blood cells called phagocytes make and store free radicals2. If unwelcome invaders come around, the phagocytes can come to our defense by unleashing free radicals. The issue is when there are too many, which can break down cellular structures, including DNA and cell membranes3....

The ancient medical text that is still considered the doctrine of Chinese medicine today, The Yellow Emperor’s Inner Classic (黄帝内经), was thought to have been written sometime between 2600 B.C. and 300 B.C1. However, more recent discoveries suggest that the roots of TCM may extend even deeper. In 1991, archaeologists uncovered a well-preserved, 5,000-year-old mummy in Central Europe2 that had acupoints tattooed on the body. Detailed x-rays revealed arthritis in the hips, knees, and lumbar spine of this prehistoric man....

As we opened our session, Jeff burst out with, “We have read The Five Love Languages 10 times. I know she likes words, and I give them to her even though it’s hard for me—cards and conversations when I don’t feel like it and even Post-it notes in her backpack. Still, it seems she constantly finds fault with me. Nothing is ever enough.” It was obvious that these two people had read The Five Love Languages: The Secret to Love That Lasts by Gary Chapman and taken his wisdom and suggestions to heart, and like many people, they believed his formula would cure their many relationship troubles....

Now, given how much immunity has been a topic of conversation over the past two years, it only makes sense that you might be considering zinc supplements. Zinc is available in certain foods like oysters, red meat, poultry, fortified breakfast cereals, beans, nuts, whole grains, and dairy products. That said, there is a zinc dietary gap, particularly for vegetarians and vegans. As mbg vice president of scientific affairs Ashley Jordan Ferira, Ph....
