The truth is, the body can produce vitamin D on its own. However, regular and adequate exposure to ultraviolet rays (like those found in certain UVB wavelengths of sunlight during certain times of the year at key latitudes and depending on your skin tone, how much you’re wearing, your sunscreen coverage—you get the point, vitamin D from sun isn’t as simple as it seems) is required to kick-start the process. But with key and essential roles in bone1, thyroid2, and immune3 health (to name just a few benefits), vitamin D seems to make the case for spending more time outdoors....

On the other hand, interdependency1 is characterized by two autonomous individuals who can care and nurture the relationship without sacrificing or compromising their own sense of self. There isn’t a huge emphasis on what the other person can do or complete for their partner, because they are already working on it themselves. Since interdependent couples are in charge of their lives and fulfilling their own significance, they come from an empowered place of wanting their partner, not needing them, which allows them to bring their highest selves to the table....

Some collagen supplements come in a powder form, whereas others are packaged up into a capsule. Is one better than the other? Here’s what you need to know. In fact, if a capsule delivers 500 milligrams of collagen, that’s 20 capsules to get to just 10 grams. (A side note: Based on the available research, we recommend 15 to 20 grams of collagen a day to get the most benefits.) In addition, many collagen capsules contain only collagen given the size of the pill, meaning there’s minimal room for additional beneficial ingredients—vitamin C included....

It’s a tricky little area; that’s for certain. So when you are trying to identify what your dry nose’s cause is, you have several avenues to consider. But don’t worry; we outline them here—with some fixes, too: We all have a plethora of fungal and bacterial strains on us (called the microbiome), and this is actually what helps keep our skin strong, healthy, and barrier protected. However, sometimes something triggers us internally to respond negatively to these organisms; that’s when you get eczema (or dermatitis)....

Studies, too, show that regular facial massages do help improve skin quality. For example, one study showed1 that daily facial rolling for only five minutes improved blood flow to the face. In another2, patients overwhelmingly reported feeling tighter, more supple skin after regular massages. “I think it makes sense that facial gua sha caught on first. Everyone is looking for a beauty fix, and it’s an easier, less scary thing to try,” says Katie Brindle, founder of Hayo’u, a London-based holistic skin care brand....

A diet that is low in carbohydrates, rich in plant compounds (phytocompounds), and balanced with anti-inflammatory fats and well-sourced proteins can be a fantastic way to reduce the primary mechanisms that drive PCOS symptoms. Polycystic ovarian syndrome is a disorder involving infrequent, irregular, or prolonged menstrual periods and often excess male hormone (androgen) levels. The ovaries develop numerous small collections of fluid—called follicles—and may fail to regularly release eggs. There is no definitive diagnosis for PCOS....
