Toner is already quite the contested category (some experts swear by it; others deem it wholly unnecessary), but within the great post-cleansing debate contains another head-to-head: toners versus essences. You might chalk it up to marketing ploys, “essence” being a slightly elevated term to describe a watery toner, but the two actually have some (albeit, slight) differences to note. 

GLP-1 drugs are associated with a wide variety of side effects.Common Side EffectsGastrointestinal distress is the most common side effect reported by people who take GLP-1s, and is experienced by a high percentage of users. Nausea and diarrhea are most common, followed by constipation, vomiting, and abdominal pain.[7][6]In the majority of people in clinical trials, these side effects have been mild or moderate. Gastrointestinal issues are usually strongest in first-time users, or when people step up to a larger dosage, but they usually dissipate over time. A small number of users may experience gastrointestinal effects so severe that they need…

Credit: Mohammed Haneefa Nizamudeen/Getty Images Researchers at the Hollings Cancer Center of the Medical University of South Carolina, U.S., have found that women with a history of cervical cancer have almost double the risk of developing anal cancer than women who have never had cervical cancer.  Cervical cancer mainly occurs due to an infection with the human papillomavirus (HPV), which is transmitted during sexual intercourse. An HPV infection makes the cells lining the cervix cancerous, eventually growing into a tumor. If found early, cervical cancer has a survival rate of over 90%. In 2022, there were over 660,000 new cervical…

GLP-1 mimicking molecules are increasingly relevant tools in metabolic, cardiovascular, and neurologic preclinical research.©iStock, CIPhotosOver the past two decades, the discovery of the incretin hormone glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) and the subsequent success of blockbuster diabetes medications targeting GLP-1 signaling transformed the translational research field.1,2 As scientists continue to investigate established and new therapeutic applications, GLP-1 receptor (GLP-1R) agonists such as semaglutide, dulaglutide, and tirzepatide have become increasingly relevant tools in preclinical research.GLP-1 MechanismsGLP-1R agonists are peptides that imitate the endogenous role of GLP-1. Specific intestinal cells naturally produce GLP-1 after a meal, which activates GLP-1Rs throughout the body to stimulate…

When we think of foods that boost the gut microbiome, probiotic-rich sauerkraut, yogurt, and kimchi likely come to mind. But these aren’t the only foods that support a healthy gut. Certain polyphenols—beneficial compounds found in plants—are known to nourish the gut microbiome. †Not detected or below detectable limits. mindbodygreen’s clean coffee+ undergoes comprehensive, third-party lab testing in the USA for hundreds of purity, potency, and sensory tests. Rigorously tested for polyphenols, heavy metals, yeast, mold, bacteria, mycotoxins, pesticides, solvents, and more—our premium, whole coffee beans exceed industry-leading quality standards for potency, purity, and taste experience.

Frozen vegetables are convenient and nutritionally comparable to fresh. Many frozen veggies are low in carbs and a source of fiber for blood sugar control. Read labels and watch for added ingredients, like sodium or sugar, that can detract from nutrition. You’ve probably heard that, for the most part, frozen veggies have just as much nutritional value as fresh—and perhaps more, since many of us let our veggies sit in the crisper drawer a little too long. But if frozen veggies are great for you, are there particular types you should choose if you’re keeping an eye on your blood…

Some movement is always better than none. However, once you get in the habit of exercising regularly, you’ll probably begin to wonder how you can optimize this process to match your goals. If you’re aiming for peak cardiac health, a study finds the “weekend warrior” approach may be for you. 

Bhutan and UNICEF have launched a nutrition plan to ensure children grow up strong and healthy, as overweight and obesity are rapidly rising among children in the nation. The announcement follows UNICEF’s latest report on global child nutrition. “Our future is about our children. If they are undernourished or robbed of their potential before they even turn five, all our national efforts will be for nothing,” says Prime Minister Tshering Tobgay of the Royal Government of Bhutan. “Nutrition has always been a priority of the government. Nourishing Bhutan – Framework for Action is not just another policy document. It is a…
