Innholdsfortegnelse for March 2018 i Women's Health

Up until last October, I hadn’t exercised consistently for way too long. I had always been an athlete growing up— track, basketball, cross-country—and for many years in my New York adulthood had worked out with a trainer, lifting weights and doing HIIT-esque cardio circuits. But I just hadn’t been able to muster the motivation recently, and I had lots of reasons why: Mornings were spent getting my kids ready for school; evening classes kicked off before I was off work; gyms were too far from my office or home; etc.; etc.; etc. Then my 8-year-old son started doing American karate at a local place in the NYC suburb where I live. Wisdom Way Martial Arts studio is a minute from my train station and three minutes from my house. Adult…

#WHStreetStyle FITNESS EDITION Lucy Ingram, 27, London For Lucy, a personal trainer, exercising is a full-time job. While she loves nothing more than a challenging workout—think HIIT—she lives by the 80/20 rule,having two rest days a week and indulging in Brit sweets, like Ombar chocolate, when she craves ’em. SWEATSHIRT Chilly days call for an oversize hoodie for pre- and post-workout warmth, especially when training clients outdoors. Love the bold racing stripes on this one from p.e nation. LEGGINGS “You can never have too many black leggings,” she says. even truer with a flattering pair like her avenue C go-tos, whose wide, supportive waistband helps “hold you in.” SNEAKERS Safe to say Lucy’s a big fan of these adidas pure boost kicks—she has them in three colors! the thick sole…

Best thing since sliced bread? The scent of it. Our fave carb is the inspiration behind some pretty irresistible fragrances. Good news, since the aroma of a loaf can put you in a better mood… and even make you nicer! According to Pamela Dalton, Ph.D., a cognitive psychologist at Monell Chemical Senses Center in Philadelphia, the smell of bread can change our behaviors. “A study showed that people were more likely to pick up a stranger’s dropped item when they were standing in front of a bakery versus a clothing store.” So douse yourself in your generosity-boosting grain of choice, cut with florals and spices so you don’t waft like you rolled in dough: There’s soft, sweet oat, found in Jo Malone Oat & Cornflower ($70, jomalone.com); rye’s spicy caraway,…

Drip, Splash, Drop... ...10 pounds, just by sipping your favorite java! Research shows that drinking eight ounces of coffee (for reference, a Starbucks tall is 12 ounces) can rev your metabolism by as much as 4 percent over two and a half hours. Keeping a gentle buzz going translates to burning an extra 100 calories a day, which—boom—gets you to 10 pounds a year. Why? Coffee contains a duo of calorie incinerators: caffeine and the antioxidant chlorogenic acid, which helps metabolize sugar and fat. To reap the benefit, nail the timing: Your body begins breaking down caffeine after an hour and a half, so rather than going all in on an 8 a.m. venti, plan on periodically refilling a smaller cup, up to four times daily.

CONNECT THE DOTS Flossing…Luxury Less than half of Americans floss every day, and 20 percent never do the deed. Chrystle Cu, D.D.S., and her sister, Catherine Cu, designed Cocofloss to help right those stats—and prevent the 40 percent of tooth discoloration and cavities that can’t be stopped by brushing alone. So what makes their stuff so fancy-pants? 1 / Modern packaging that’s pretty enough to sit on your vanity with the rest of your beauty products as a reminder to scrape those teefers 2 / Hundreds of woven fibers per thread (versus a few waxy or plastic ones), coated with coconut oil for comfortable gliding through hard-to-reach areas 3 / Four subtly refreshing flavors derived from essential oils, no fake sweetness necessary: strawberry, mint, coconut, and orange. $8 each, at…

the phrase “mind-body connection” can feel ambiguous, even woo-woo, something to be reconciled during yoga class. But emerging science is now bearing out physiological connections between many seemingly unrelated mental and bodily issues—many seemingly unrelated on the surface. And it can go both ways: Mental health issues can lead to physical ones, and vice versa. This new research is a revelation because, until the past few years, the interplay between mental and physical was often chalked up to a behavioral domino effect (e.g., you binge-eat because you’re depressed, then the extra weight ups your diabetes risk). Now experts realize it’s governed by a far more complex mix of factors. Inflammation, the immune system’s natural response to threats, is a biggie: If this healing process fails to shut off after a…

Meat Cute Can you even buy a piece this small? Answer: Yes—just ask the butchers at the meat counter to hook you up. If you’re getting a larger, prepackaged cut at the market, slice it into individual servings, then wrap them each tightly in plastic wrap before freezing. Skirt steak cooks quickly, melts in your mouth, and, paired with barley and hearty veggies, is stick-to-your-ribs satisfying. Seared Steak and Roasted Veggie Bowl ¼ cup barley¼ cup brussels sprouts (1½ oz), halved¼ cup chopped sweet potato¼ cup cauliflower florets¼ cup sliced beets2 tsp extra-virgin olive oil, divided3 ounces skirt steak1½ Tbsp chopped fresh parsley, plus more for serving1½ Tbsp chopped fresh dill, plus more for serving½ shallot, finely chopped1 Tbsp fresh lemon juice 1 / Preheat oven to 425°F.

1. PARTNER PUSHUPS Sculpt your triceps, shoulders, and chest Begin in a pushup position with your hands shoulder-width apart. Keeping your back flat and core engaged, bend your elbows to lower your body toward the floor (a). As you straighten your arms, use your right hand to low-five your partner’s right hand (b). return both hands to the floor in the starting position and repeat the movement, alternating hands each time. Do 5 reps on each side, 10 reps total. 2. LOWER AB LIFT Strengthen your lower abs lie faceup on the floor with your partner standing behind you, then reach above your head to grab her ankles (a). Start to lift your legs, ankles together and core engaged. When you reach the top of your leg lift, raise your…

If you’ve gotta die, the type of spontaneous gastrointestinal bleed I had in 2011 isn’t the worst way to go. losing about 40 percent of my blood wasn’t physically painful; it was black bowel movements and abdominal bloating that made me go to the er, not discomfort. once there, I was passing out from blood loss, but doctors couldn’t immediately locate the bleed. I found myself lying in the ICu, getting an emergency blood transfusion. An orderly looked in my eyes and prayed over me, crying. that set off a little pang of panic. on the other side of the privacy curtain, another patient was also bleeding internally. It didn’t sound good for him. Maybe it wasn’t going to be so good for me either. I realized I might not…

Casket burials are pricey (on average, over $8,500 for a traditional one), toxic (embalming fluid contains carcinogenic formaldehyde that can seep into the earth), and, soon, potentially unavailable (reports show that the U.S. is starting to run out of cemetery space). So when planning your end-of-life options, consider these new possibilities—many of them eco-friendly—that let you turn your literal last act into a statement of your values. Settling this now means your loved ones won’t have to later. If the options that require cremated ashes appeal, go to nolo.com to see if your state is currently one of the 10 that allow water cremation, in which the body is decomposed in a nontoxic liquid chemical bath. The method uses one-seventh the energy of a fire cremation. Become One with the…

Horror flicks aside, watching death explored on-screen is a healthy way to begin confronting our own demise. Really. “It makes us challenge our perspectives on mortality,” says Jamie Goldenberg, Ph.D., a professor of psychology at the University of South Florida in Tampa. Six depictions to get you thinking. ROMANCE: Love Story Seeing Jenny (Ali MacGraw) die in the arms of Oliver (Ryan O’Neal) can reassure you that death isn’t as frightening when you’re surrounded by those you love, says Jeff Greenberg, Ph.D., a professor of psychology at the University of Arizona in Tucson. ACTION: Saving Private Ryan The devastating realism of war shows us there can be dignity and bravery in dying, and that knowing what you stood for in life gives it value. ANIMATION: Coco Pixar’s flick visits the…

CONNECTIONS In this issue, we explore the networks that bring us together, from the unseen links between physical and mental ailments (page 74) to the perks of bubble-breaking friendships (page 128). WH advisor and integrative practitioner Frank Lipman, M.D., above, shares his most important connection. “My wife of 38 years—Janice. When I was a resident, my colleagues and professors told me I’d be ostracized if I went ‘against the grain’ of conventional Western medicine. But no matter what kind of day I had at the hospital, I’d come home to loving acceptance and a reminder that ‘this too shall pass.’ Janice supported me from the start of my career when what I was saying wasn’t accepted as the norm as it is today.” ANTHROPOLOGY HELEN FISHER, PH.D. Research professor and…

YOU LOSE, YOU WIN! Sormeh Salimpour, 32, Denver Sormeh loved sports when she was a kid, but all that exercise didn’t stop the scale from rising in her teens—partly due to large portions (and seconds) of her mother’s home-cooked Persian dishes. By freshman year in college, she had 215 pounds on her 5'4" frame, and that was before the freedom of coed life set in. Being inactive, drinking, and scarfing fast-food meals upped her weight to 250 by graduation in 2008, and it stayed there for three years. Then, in 2011, the breakup of a serious relationship made her step back and take a fresh look at her life and priorities. “I was ready to start taking care of myself,” Sormeh says.

CONNECT THE DOTS Tight Grip... Tighter Bod The secret to better results lies in your hands. “Your grip is one of your body’s three main power sources, behind your glutes and core,” says Karen Smith, a trainer and master kettlebell instructor in Dallas. “When you can grasp a weight more securely, you transfer more energy to your muscles so they can handle more time under tension, carry heavier loads, and even produce more reps.” All that will speed up changes in your bod and also make opening jars, lifting furniture, and carrying pretty much anything easier. To improve your grip, squeeze dumbbells as you hold them, and practice hanging from a pullup bar as long as you can. Running Hot and Cold Hot Bath Soaking in comfortably steamy water after…

there was a time, not that long ago, when the state of your mustache was considered classified information outside your closest friends. But social media, and Instagram specifically, has brought many beauty taboos out of the shadows… including facial hair. It’s where women— glamorous women! famous women!—are candidly discussing their ’staches and more. Where beauty entrepreneur Huda Kattan revealed a face-shaving routine that went viral. Where actress Thandie Newton flashed a selfie while bleaching her upper lip. And whether you groom your lady beard or let it be, the takeaway from these conversations is this: There is nothing abnormal or unnatural about growing hair on your face. It’s biology. We’ve all got follicles covering our faces that are “incredibly sensitive to our hormones,” says NYC dermatologist Michelle Henry, M.D. “How…

Virtual Coaching A major weight-room gripe we’ve heard over and over? A workout calls for, say, 10 dumbbell chest presses. But you haven’t the foggiest idea how much weight to use. So you choose a lightish one. (Research proves we naturally go this route.) Well, not under NordicTrack’s watch. Its new at-home cable system, with built-in iFit Coach technology, lets you pick from dozens of prerecorded instructor-led routines (via the 10-inch tablet screen) and seven fitness levels. Then…magic! It automatically adjusts resistance to correspond with the exercises being streamed. The machine knows how heavy to go for that chest press versus a back squat, so you don’t have to do anything—you know, except sweat. An included Bluetooth heart-rate chest strap will help you figure out if your ticker is working…

Listen Up The most popular YouTube ASMRtists, as they’re called, use a mix of tingle-creating sounds in their videos. Check out these channels: ASMR Darling, Gentle Whispering ASMR, ASMR PPOMO, Heather Feather ASMR, and MassageASMR. a charming blonde woman smiles warmly from your screen. Leaning into the camera, she traces the tip of a makeup brush against a microphone, whispering that she’s stroking your face. The bristles create a swishing sound as they caress the mic. “It’s nice to feel the brush on your ear, isn’t it?” she asks in a soothing voice. Over 1.1 million subscribers to her YouTube channel agree that it is, indeed, very nice. That’s because her movements and voice—in other videos, the 31-year-old vlogger “Maria Gentle Whispering” rhythmically taps her fingernails on a table or…

that feeling when you hear yourself using the same agitated tone with your romantic partner that you used with your little brother as a kid. Or when a week goes by and you realize your only physical contact has been the kind of sanitary pecks you exchange with your in-laws. We’re calling it “familialization”—the phenomenon of significant others starting to see themselves as relatives rather than as a couple—and it’s one of the biggest problems that sex and relationships counselors encounter in their practices, says therapist Ian Kerner, Ph.D., author of She Comes First. Even Pink recently revealed that she and her husband had not had sex in a year. It starts with a slow creep. The beginning of a relationship means the constant thrill that you’ve found this great…

CONNECTION: KEVIN PAST AND PRESENT I’m more energized now. I’m almost 60, but I don’t feel old. I don’t think about slowing down; I don’t think, you know, I just want to play golf. I take better care of myself than I did when I was younger, and I’ve learned more about health and food, exercise, meditation, relaxation, all that stuff. In my twenties, I cared about me—getting ahead in my career. I think that when you get older, and certainly when you have children, you start thinking, What kind of world are you going to leave them? But there are things I’ve always cared about—my family and just trying to wake up and get a job done. CONNECTION: MARRIAGE AND WORK (HE’S BEEN MARRIED TO KYRA SEDGWICK FOR 29…

The Colorful Eye Chanel Les 9 Ombres Multi-Effects Eyeshadow Palette ($70, chanel.com) There’s a big difference between wanting to wear bold colors and actually doing it. But this palette eases you in, mixing comfortable neutrals with rich tones of teal, emerald, and gold. Make the most of the velvety textures by prepping your lids with a shadow primer, which helps the powders adhere and amps up the shades, says makeup artist Tiffany Leigh Patton, who created these looks. The Smoky Eye CoverGirl TruNaked Smoky Shadow Palette ($13, at drugstores) This isn’t any old smoky kit. Moody blues and a deep purple offer the freedom to go beyond the classic sooty look. Plus, these are the most pigment-loaded, high-shimmer shadow formulas we’ve seen at this price. Apply with the included sponge…

Both Deborah and Karima grew up so insulated by their own faiths that when they met—while working at a group home for people with intellectual disabilities in Toronto— they knew almost nothing about each other’s religion…or any religions other than their own. “I didn’t know that Karima could be Muslim and not wear a hijab,” Deborah says. “I thought all Muslim women wore it.” (Karima wears one only when she goes to the mosque.) And Karima says, “I thought the Mennonites were similar to jehovah’s Witnesses, that they’ll come knocking on your door and try to convert you.” (Rather, it’s a branch of Christianity that believes only adults, not children, should be baptized, and is known for a modest dress code—long sleeves and head coverings, similar to the Amish—that some…

Three’s Company The more, the merrier—in friends and embellishments. Multicolored threads, a silky slip, and fluttery appliques move as you do. Heart Strings Feathery danglers graze cheeks (yours or a loved one’s) like butterfly kisses. Mix, No Match Strategic lace, pinstripe ruffles, vinyl-y skirt: Forget sitting pretty. Sit textured (and then stand tall). Pure Brilliance The top’s glossy stripes vibe like lacquered ribbons, gleaming in the light; the skirt’s ridged paillettes feel like little worry stones. the feel of happiness Physical contact (the wanted kind, of course) is fantastic for your well-being. And not just sexually. Even a quick shoulder pat has an impact. When we experience touch, we release oxytocin, a neurotransmitter that helps decrease stress and anxiety and increases all the good things (generosity and compassion, among other…

The Dear Abby of Death Caitlin Doughty, queen bee of modern death acceptance and founder of the order of the Good Death, a collective made up of dozens of funeral directors, academics, and artists; provider of behind-thescenes intel about funerary practices in her books (including the recent From Here to Eternity) and on her Ask a Mortician youtube channel (350,000 subscribers and counting) Her mission: “to make people feel better about death and mortality so they live better lives.” Thinking (death) positive: Question why you fear mortality, then address it directly. If you worry what will happen to loved ones, get your affairs (e.g., a will) in order. If you’re stressing about the afterlife (or possible lack thereof), talk to your religious leader or a physicist who can explain how…

With Openness Rebecca soffer and Gabrielle Birkner both lost parents (at 30 and 24, respectively) and felt that the usual reactions from others—platitudes, avoidance—made navigating their grief harder. so in 2013, they launched Modernloss.com, a website where people can candidly share their experiences with death so they feel less alone, marginalized, and stigmatized. one tip from their new book, Modern Loss: Don’t be scared to mention the person who died. “I love when someone says, ‘I thought about your mom today because XyZ reminded me of her,’” says soffer. they may not want to talk about their grief yet, but it shows you’re open when they are ready. With Prayer Joyce smith endured a parent’s worst fear when her 14-year-old son, john, fell through an icy lake one wintry morning…

The latest trend in Swedish minimalism: Death Cleaning, or whittling down belongings while alive, so your loved ones aren’t burdened with them when you’re gone—a painful duty usually left to emotionally and physically exhausted women, says Elaine O’Connell, a New York City social worker. The Swedes undertake Death Cleaning near retirement age, but you’re never too young to toss or donate stuff you no longer want, says Margareta Magnusson, author of The Gentle Art of Swedish Death Cleaning. To turn the task into something meaningful, invite loved ones over for that too-small cocktail dress or Le Creuset Dutch oven—and tell them the item’s history and importance. “Now the person on the receiving end has a memory attached to the object that reminds them of their connection to you,” says O’Connell.…

Writing a will is on most people’s “I’ll get to that later” list—less than a third of us have one. But creating one now can minimize family fights over who gets what, says Bridget Crawford, Ph.D., a professor of law at Pace University School of Law in White Plains, New York. It also may reassure you that things will be properly taken care of when you pass. (For example: If your sister, who is bad with money, will get custody of your kid, you can appoint another person to be in charge of doling out the funds to care for your child.) Complete these docs, then keep signed copies in a safe place (and give copies to your lawyer, if you have one), or use a digital lock box like…

Should a terminally ill person be able to end their own life? It’s such a contentious question that right now, only six states (Oregon, Washington, Montana, vermont, California, and Colorado) and the District of Columbia have laws on the books that allow medical aid in dying, though 27 more are considering following suit. Meaning: They let doctors offer mentally sound, terminally ill adults prescription drugs they can take to expire in their sleep. Beyond providing faith-based arguments, critics of the practice cite the “slippery slope” theory that such laws will open the door for more extreme practices like euthanasia (in which a physician ends the patient’s life via, for example, an injection; this is illegal in every state). Eric kress, M.D., a physician in Missoula, Montana, who has legally prescribed…

The Internet is forever, which is why some social media sites, including Facebook, let you choose a “legacy contact”—someone to manage your account (or remove it) if you die. For other online accounts (such as other social media platforms or a recurring subscription to a news site), create a running list of usernames and passwords for your executor and keep it updated. Without these measures, it can take weeks or months for family and friends to find all your accounts to cancel or modify them.…

Ceramides and Prebiotics Are Now Connected Behind every rock-star exec is a strong support staff. That’s certainly the case for ceramides, naturally occurring lipids with high-level abilities to shore up the skin barrier (which keeps irritants out and moisture in): They have a much easier job when eager prebiotics are in their back office. Applied topically, prebiotics—a diverse range of ingredients that run the gamut from coconut oil to colloidal oats—fuel the population of good bacteria on skin while tilting down the levels of bad bacteria, which research shows contributes to a more solid barrier. And since bad bacteria (think infection-causing staph) can eat away at ceramides, getting good bacteria to flourish means ceramides can not only do their job better but also have a better chance of keeping their…

Arms & Abs Tag Team What it is: An upper-body workout that helps tone and define your midsection in the process, designed by personal trainer Ben Boudro, owner of Xceleration Fitness in Auburn Hills, Michigan How it works: The muscles in your shoulders, arms, chest, and upper back help push weights overhead or raise them in front of your body while your entire core works to counteract those moving forces. More specifically, your core keeps your back straight and the rest of your body steady, creating not only greater strength gains but improved functional (a.k.a. real-world) fitness. What to do: Perform this circuit two or three times a week. Starting with the first exercise, complete as many reps as possible in 40 seconds, then rest for 20 seconds; continue this…

Empathize—but don’t add on. When a friend is complaining about how annoying her husband can be, don’t jump in with dirty details of your guy’s flaws. Instead, talk out how both you and your pal could improve your dynamics, says Kerner. Otherwise you’ll find yourself furthering the worst narrative about your relationship. Keep your stats to yourself. Your best friend and her SO have sex once a month and are fine with it. But there is no “normal” frequency, and yours might be higher or lower—no shame in that! You don’t have to be a prude in these convos, but the comparison game can hurt everyone involved. When in doubt, smile and nod. Spend time around content couples. Make a point of hanging out more with duos who have rapports…

What makes life worth living? that question has consumed the minds of philosophers, scholars, and writers for centuries. socrates felt it was striving to know and understand ourselves. Alice Walker said it lay in expressing our deepest feelings and emotions. today’s positive psychologists believe it is meaningful work, play, love, and service to others. We don’t know which of them—if any—are right. But maybe, just maybe, the way to truly discover what gives a person’s time on this earth meaning is to flip the question. Perhaps we should ask: What makes life worth dying? That’s the stance of the growing death-positivity movement, which posits that accepting that life will end—and exploring the feelings provoked by that knowledge—can make you more alive in the here and now. It’s a 180-degree change…

Start with an icebreaker. Ask others how they’ve personally been touched by death. “Most people have likely lost a family member, friend, or pet, so this can establish connections, driving home the point that death is not an isolating event,” says Wyatt. one woman in our group lost her brother when she was 12; another’s father had recently passed. Within minutes, these perfect strangers were bonding over the shared experience. Draw people out with thought-provoking questions. We leaned on Mortalls, a card-based discussion game started by death-positive father-daughter duo jim and jess erskine ($12, mortalls.com); you could also use a book like Kortes- Miller’s new Talking About Death Won’t Kill You (available March 6), which contains convo-starter Qs. some intriguing ones from our event: “If you were given an envelope…
