Thanks to your body’s hardworking organs and complex antioxidant networks, detoxification is a natural, built-in process that takes place all day, every day—no special “detox diets” necessary. For example, mbg’s daily detox+ is led by glutathione (a master antioxidant in the realm of detox support) and also contains N-acetyl-L-cysteine—a vital player in the detoxification process that replenishes antioxidants in the body to promote healthy redox balance.* As a powerhouse antioxidant and critical building block precursor, N-acetyl-L-cysteine and its health benefits are worth calling out....

To make that habit more of a priority, you might want to zero in on your intention—have you ever asked yourself why you want to drink more water? There are plenty of reasons to start, whether it’s dewy skin, increased energy, or reduced brain fog. However, recent research presents a much more convincing argument. And this wasn’t just a small study: Over 25 years, around 15,000 people ages 45 to 65 participated in regular clinical exams to measure their serum sodium levels (which can reflect internal hydration)....

For example, both ginger and turmeric combat oxidative stress.* Research finds the plants work synergistically to keep our endocrine systems in check and promote healthy inflammatory responses2.* Like turmeric, ginger has also been shown to promote joint health and support muscle fitness3.* “They act in similar ways in the body through key antioxidant and immunomodulatory actions to support a healthy inflammatory response,”* Ashley Jordan Ferira, Ph.D., RDN, the vice president of scientific affairs at mindbodygreen, says of the duo....

Here’s what to know about this astrological pairing, according to astrology experts. Scorpio, meanwhile, is also a water sign, but it has a fixed modality, as opposed to mutable. This sign is ruled by Pluto, the planet of transformation and rebirth, and it’s represented by the scorpion, inspired by Greek lore that a scorpion stung and killed Orion. One fundamental of astrological compatibility is that signs with the same element typically mesh well together, and Pisces and Scorpio are no exception....

What’s more, psyllium is ridiculously healthy, too, given its sky-high fiber content, which is why some people use psyllium husk powder as a dietary supplement to promote regularity, balance blood sugar, and lower cholesterol. Because psyllium husk is a significant source of fiber—7 grams per tablespoon, or 25% of your daily value—it’s frequently ground up into psyllium husk powder and used as a laxative (it’s actually the main ingredient in the stool softener Metamucil)....

Called Retin-A, retinol, retinoid, or a few other versions, this star skin care item is a derivative of vitamin A. And it garners as much confusion over its moniker as it does praise for its efficacy. The most common terms people refer to it as are retinol and retinoid. Retinoids can include both OTC (over-the-counter) and prescription-strength options (like the aforementioned Retin-A as well as its generic counterpart Tretinoin). If you don’t know what to call whatever version of vitamin A derivative you are using, you can safely say “retinoid”—it’s the most general, sure, but it covers all the bases....
