Innholdsfortegnelse for April 2018 i Women's Health

Spring is such a magical time of year for me. For one thing (or should I say two?), my 7-year-old twins, Charlie and Lucy, were born on the first day of spring. But I also love that as the seasons change, the air becomes charged with the energy and possibility of a fresh start. It’s a new beginning for Women’s Health, too, as this is the brand’s first issue with me leading the team. The words dream job perfectly describe how I feel about this role. It’s a long way from where I started right out of college, as an investment banking analyst. That was…not a good fit. I was tied to a desk, feeling uninspired, and struggling to adjust to life in New York City. As a distraction from…

POINT/COUNTERPOINT Cocoa Power More than 90 percent of American women say they have chocolate cravings, and nearly half claim their desire noticeably spikes in frequency and intensity just before their period begins. But hold on to your brownies! Per a new study in PLOS ONE, women born in the U.S. were twice as likely to report those cravings compared with immigrants. And the latter’s hankering grew as they became immersed in the culture. What the fudge is going on here? PMS Cravings Are Learned “America is obsessed with healthy eating, and menstruation is considered one socially sanctioned excuse to ignore that ideal and indulge,” says psychologist and study author Julia Hormes, Ph.D., of the University at Albany, State University of New York. “High-fat, high-sugar chocolate is seen as an enticing…

1 Set Your Starting Point It only takes two weeks to improve your strength, even if visible changes can be a bit slower to show (three to six weeks). Knowing your baseline before you begin allows you to measure real gains and spot success early, helping you stay on track when motivation dips, says Betina. On day one, write down how many reps you can perform for one minute each of pushups, prisoner squats (hands behind your head), and inverted rows (pulling yourself up to a bar or suspension straps). Retest and record every four weeks. 2 Embrace the Warmup No matter how little time you have, always take at least two minutes to wake your sleepy muscles. Devote the first minute to a mobility exercise, which increases your range…

1 // Booze Alcohol widens blood vessels, allowing a flow of blood that further clogs congested sinuses. It also increases inflammation (your immune system’s response to harmful invaders), which is already ratcheted up from battling pollen. Red wine and beer are the worst culprits because they’re high in histamines, a chemical that can trigger a runny nose or sneezing. The fix Stick to lower-histamine liquors like vodka and gin, and if you’re sneezy, limit your intake to one drink. 2 // Produce Noshing certain fruits and veggies can worsen existing hay fever symptoms or add to your suffering by causing an itchy mouth or scratchy throat. People sensitive to grass can react to celery, peaches, and tomatoes; those who snuffle around ragweed are often set off by melons, bananas, and…

1 //Read Your Water Reports Plug your zip code into the Environmental Working group’s Tap Water Database (ewg.org) or request a report from your local water utility. Flummoxed by all those chemical names? Want to know what’s being done to correct violations? Ask your provider. They’re usually happy to explain, says Mark H. Weir, Ph.D., an assistant professor of environmental health sciences at The Ohio state university in Columbus. 2 //Know Your City’s Pipes Especially those that serve your house. your city water department can tell you whether you have lead service lines, but if your home was built in the late ’80s or after, the chances you have them are relatively low, says Weir. If you have lead pipes, run water for at least 30 seconds (or until it’s…

Consider it a trend of biblical proportions: 12 million people bought kosher goods last year, fueling a $12.5 billion industry. That’s all the more impressive when you consider that kosher has outpaced label darlings like “gluten-free” and “non-GMO”: More than 2,500 new products were labeled “kosher” in 2016. And yet…only 8 percent of those consumers were observant Jews. So how did a theologically based way of eating (dating back millennia!) birth the latest food craze? Kosher rules, with their religious mandates distinguishing between animals (only certain fish, mammals, and birds may be consumed) and enforcing certain dietary practices (for example, meat and dairy cannot come into contact with each other), can seem arbitrary and esoteric to those not of the faith. But consider that one original rationale was to ensure…

IF YOU’RE THE MOM Check your guilt… Instead of internalizing your guilt after canceling plans, do something concrete, Hibbert says, like setting up a new plan you know she’ll love. When you became a mom, you gained a lot, but your friend lost something. Show her she’s still a priority instead of offering up another apology. …and your excuses. “Convincing yourself you don’t have time for the friendship will only hurt it,” says Miriam Kirmayer, a friendship researcher and Ph.D. candidate at McGill university in Montreal. “you need face-to-face time.” Multitask by, say, taking a barre class together. Focus on her feels. you don’t have to pretend you aren’t drained, but when you get together, “lead with asking her how she is,” says Hibbert. “Don’t minimize the stress and life…

Use Your Words Arousal for women begins in our heads, so pregame foreplay before you get home by trading some sexts about what you’re looking forward to. Continue the sex talk in person. The more you talk and the more sounds you make, the more turned on you’ll be, says sexologist Emily Morse, Ph.D., host of the podcast Sex with Emily. Stay a Little Dressed Keeping some clothes on—like a skirt, your bra, or even your undies (and pushing them to the side, “Drunk in Love” – style)—adds a sense of urgency to spontaneous sex, making it exponentially hotter. Create Some Buzz The easiest way for women to orgasm is with a vibrator, according to multiple studies. So ask him to use a bullet vibe on your clitoris before sex,…

I’d heard the rumors: Katie Holmes has some serious biceps. I needed proof. We’re at a swank lounge in NYC’s Mandarin Oriental hotel, where expensively groomed guests are sipping artisan cocktails. Katie, clutching her ever-present paper coffee cup, is more casual: jeans, a frilly denim shirt, sneakers. I decide to give it a shot and obnoxiously ask her to flex for me. She is apologetic, saying, “I haven’t worked out for awhile.” But then she pulls up her sleeve and displays the startling combination of litheness and sinew she’s developed while prepping for a new role—an action-thriller, still under wraps, in which she plays an ex-marine. (It’s been a busy year, including the current Dear Dictator with Michael Caine and Ocean’s Eight, coming out this summer.) Katie has called her…

Whether you’re looking forward to rocking a spring triathlon or the new halter in your closet, you’re going to want your arms to be on point. And when it comes to a strong, sculpted upper body, focusing your training on your shoulders will give you the best bang for your buck…physically and aesthetically. Made up of four distinct muscles—the anterior deltoid, medial deltoid, posterior deltoid, and trapezius—the shoulders are the most mobile, “do-it-all” joints in the entire human body, says Mike T. Nelson, Ph.D., an exercise physiologist and adjunct professor of human performance at Carrick Institute in St. Paul, Minnesota. In fact, says Nelson, your shoulders are actually less a joint and more a “symphony of tissues.” And as one of the most muscular and metabolically active areas in your…

Experts have long suggested that the “French paradox”—the fact that people in that country eat more saturated fats than we do, yet live longer and have much less heart disease and obesity—is due to their way of life: They cook more and are more active (not necessarily gym workouts, just walking). And though their food is often high in fat (think duck à l’orange), it’s served in smaller portions and eaten in a leisurely way. They rarely count calories or fat grams. That same moderation should inform your own diet. Here’s how to start: Choose whole, “real” foods over those that come packaged. That is, a baked potato (drizzled with olive oil or patted with butter) instead of “healthy” baked chips. Processed foods, even those with “no trans fats!” labels, tend…

To hear some of my patients tell it, wrinkles are the enemy—invaders to be fought with every available tool. That mindset is a disservice to us all. I view these lines and creases as some of our most attractive and quintessentially human qualities, reflecting years of happiness, laughter, love, concentration (I definitely developed a few furrows during med school!), tears, and, in my own experience, occasional scowls aimed at adorable but misbehaving children. Consider the curved lines on our cheeks—the nasolabial folds—that illuminate our face when we flash a genuine smile. Or take the twinkle-promoting crinkles around the eyes, which can make it appear as if we’re smiling even when we’re not. (I refuse to call these lines “crow’s-feet.” Why should natural expressions of joy be compared with creepy bird…

For thousands of years, humans have read meaning into moles. In ancient China and Greece, fortune-tellers divined futures by reading birthmarks. (One on your forehead? You’re a power player! Is it on the back of your neck? Oh, sorry, you’re going to be beheaded.) In seventeenth-century England and France, women fashioned faux moles from taffeta or leather. On the other side of the Atlantic, Salem witch hunters decreed that moles were the work of the devil. (Clearly, it was preferable to be a Frenchwoman in those days.) As divisive as moles have been, they’re far from exceptional. Nearly every adult has some. They’re more common among fair-skinned folks, but they pop up on all complexions. When we’re born, they’re microscopic, and they begin to grow during childhood. That’s usually when…

YOUR NATURAL SHAPE Like Olivia Wilde High Arch Follow the Outline You’re blessed with plenty of lift, so refrain from plucking, save a stray or two. For polish, bicoastal brow whiz Jimena Garcia suggests outlining the tops and bottoms of your brows. Use a hue that matches your color, a rule that applies to all brow shapes. Brush the pigment through the middle with a spoolie (the mascara wand – like tool attached to most brow products) to blend. Try CoverGirl Easy Breezy Brow Fill + Define Pencil ($3.50, at drugstores). Highlight Strategically Instead of swathing concealer under your arches to make them pop (a common technique among YouTubers), add a hint of highlighter—like Sephora Collection Bright Future Radiant Luminizer in Champagne ($14, sephora.com)—from the tear duct to the base…

My Statement: Red Maura Lynch Women’s Health Beauty and Lifestyle Director There was lavender—a sweet pastel I sprung for on a whim after a bitter breakup. There was platinum, which made me feel cool for the first time in my life, as if I had a black leather jacket draped over my shoulders at all times. There was every other iteration of blonde. There was chestnut. But one kept calling me back: red. It’s not lost on me that the hair color I have deemed most me is the least common (occurring naturally in less than 2 percent of the population). For as long as I can remember, I have tried my best to unobtrusively stand out. Looking back, I think I chose hair color as my vehicle for expressing…

SHEER KNIT DRESS When two dresses become one: The blue topper makes the shiny slip more casual, especially with mules. 2. DENIM SKIRT Tuck it in and blouse it out like a tank. Or let it peek out at the bottom for an unexpected look. Either way, sneaks make it even cuter. 3. CROPPED CAMI The boho shirt and frilly slides add femininity. Under It Grab the pieces you live in. Repurpose as base layers. 1. JEANS Pair with skinnies, heeled sandals, and a sleeveless blazer to look effortlessly cool. 2. SPORTS BRA Pick a full-coverage, graphic one for a sporty feel; the heels keep it classy. 3 More Options! The…

#FITFAM 1/ Create healthy eating habits. “We don’t call anything ‘junk’ or ‘a treat’ in our home. Instead, we talk to our children about whether a certain food will make them a better athlete or more tired during their games. Once they understand how what they eat affects them, they make better choices.” Try it: Teach ingredients and their impact so your kids can ID healthy options (say, nuts over chips). “Your life becomes less hectic when they eat well on their own.” 2/ Let go of numbers. “As a runner, it’s easy to obsess over pace, mileage, weight. Same with social media, when you track likes. I realized my hang-up was thwarting my happiness and goals, so I stopped caring on both fronts. I don’t want my littles defining…

Water. It hydrates you, powers you through workouts, and makes up 65 percent of your body. But lately, you may have some concerns. Last year, chemical sludge from a shoe manufacturer was found in the tap water of Plainfield Township, Michigan. The area lies about 120 miles from Flint, where, in 2015, dangerous levels of lead were found in the city’s drinking supply. Experts soon linked the tainted water to local outbreaks of Legionnaires’ disease (a severe form of pneumonia). More than a dozen people died, fertility rates plummeted, and the toll on countless children’s future health might not be known for a generation. Michigan isn’t the only state with water worries. The natural resources Defense Council (NRDC), a nonprofit environmental advocacy group, found that in 2015 (the most recent…

ON HOW ONE STAYS HEALTHY AND SANE POST-APOCALYPSE: Well, there’s lots of running from things. That keeps you fit! My character is very into martial arts to keep himself limber. In my private life, I was adamant that I wanted to be able to pull off that kind of stuff, so I’ve been training—lots of body-weight exercises. What’s also interesting for Jesus is that he’s been a loner, but he learned that he can exist better by being in a group. I think that’s really helped his mental and spiritual health. ON LIVING IN AMERICA: I'm from England and my girlfriend, Jennifer [Akerman, a model and singer], is from Sweden. We both came to America because we loved everything it stood for, but America doesn't seem to be at the…

FOOD She was never much of a meat eater (“Though I make an exception for pepperoni pizza”), and Katie’s diet has become increasingly plant-based. “It used to be about fitting into my jeans, and I’m so sick of that. Now I think of it more as a health decision.” SKIN Two musts: flaxseed oil (“It’s good for your skin and your hair—and your heart. I take two to three tablespoons a day”) and SK-II facial masks (“I sleep in them”). MENTAL HEALTH Painting canvases. “I do a lot of abstracts, because I’m not trained. Usually I end up giving them away as gifts.” In the Spotlight The challenge: staying sane and happy despite public scrutiny.…

1. Apply a daily topical antioxidant (under sunscreen) containing vitamins C or E or ferulic acid, such as SkinCeuticals C E Ferulic ($165, skinceuticals.com); it can fend off damage from UV exposure and pollution. 2. Wear a minimum of broad-spectrum SPF 30, like Elta MD UV Clear SPF 46 (from $32.50, eltamd.com), every day—no exceptions. It’s the most important step for preserving your skin. 3. Moisturize once or twice a day with a soothing cream—ideally one that contains an emollient like dimethicone, such as Olay Regenerist Whip ($29, olay.com). This restores the skin’s barrier, keeping irritants out and hydration in. 4. Cleanse your face with a gentle foaming cleanser, like La Roche-Posay Toleriane ($15, at drugstores). It’s crucial to do this at night to remove inflammation-causing makeup, dirt, bacteria, oil,…

Perk Up Your Butt What It Is A circuit that targets the often-forgotten but oh-so-important muscles on the back of your thighs (a.k.a. your hamstrings), created by certified strength and conditioning specialist Mike Robertson, president of Robertson Training Systems and co-owner of Indianapolis Fitness and Sports Training in Indianapolis How It Works Strong hammies lift your tush, power your cardio, and help prevent knee and low-back pain. While any exercise that trains them naturally recruits your glutes, the opposite can’t be said. To fully activate those muscles, you need to zero in on two movement patterns: hip extension (think deadlifts) and knee flexion (like leg curls). What To Do Do three sets of the first move, resting 60 seconds in between sets. Complete 2A and 2B as a superset: Perform…

77 million Americans lived in places where the water systems were in violation of safety regulations in 2015. 15 million Americans’ drinking water is contaminated with PFCs, a toxic chemical used to make nonstick cookware linked to thyroid disease and cancer, per a 2017 study. 18 million Americans obtained drinking water from systems with lead violations in 2015. 31 states’ drinking water was found in 2016 to contain unsafe levels of PFASs, a class of industrial chemicals linked to cancer, hormone disruptions, and high cholesterol. 11 dollars per person were spent by the federal government on water pipes, pumps, and plants in 2011. In 1977, it was $76 per person.…

For many women, it’s not love, marriage, or a baby carriage that comes first—it’s friendship. The average age when a woman has her first child is rising (it’s now 27, up from 25 in 2010, a drastic shift in less than a decade), and for the first time, women in their early thirties are having children at a higher rate than those in their twenties. “Now that most women spend the majority of their twenties—if not all of them—not married and not yet mothers, it creates a space to build emotionally intimate bonds in which their friends can truly feel like family,” says Andrea Bonior, Ph.D., a clinical psychologist in Bethesda, Maryland, and author of The Friendship Fix. That means a whole lot of years spent being each other’s plus-one…

It’s date night, and the mood is right for romance... and possibly some overdue intimacy. You make a reservation at that cozy little restaurant, pull out your silkiest undies, get all dressed up. But after three courses and a bottle of wine (so filling!), you’re home scrolling through Instagram (so distracting!) and feeling your eyelids close after that epic workweek (so exhausting!). How are you supposed to rip each other’s clothes off when you can barely floss before falling into bed? My husband, Jesse, and I know this scenario all too well. After a decade together, sex is still satisfying. But we’ve both recently taken on bigger roles at work, and the time between our romantic connections has started to stretch. It’s not just us. Americans are getting it on…

Is there a phrase that gets a brisker workout these days than “healthy fats”? Avo toast rules brunch menus and Instagram feeds, EVOO flows like wine over roasted veggies, and nut butters whir to the beat of smoothie blenders. But naturally, that brings us to the idea of “unhealthy” fats. What to make of those saturated varieties—the meats, the dairies? The fats that we’ve been told for decades will raise our cholesterol, clog our arteries, and, ultimately, cause heart disease? Studies have been quietly accumulating over the past few years that suggest the truth about saturated fat is more complicated—and less damning—than previously thought. In fact, the saturated stuff may be necessary, even…healthy. Well, be still our beating hearts. This new doctrine hit the big time late last summer, when…

THE STRUCTURE Perfect for yoga and Pilates, the crisscross straps and deep V-cut on this low-impact bra cover less skin than traditional versions, preventing sweat from getting trapped.

THE PATTERN Like a cotton candy sky, the pattern isn’t just cute. Research shows that simply looking at nature imagery, whether forest or sky, can lower stress levels. THE COLORS Digitally printed, water-based inks are better for the earth and you. Pollution—spurred by energy waste—has been linked to everything from allergies to depression.…

BEFORE • Find a board-certified derm and request a consultation. Everyone from ob-gyns to nurses is offering injections and laser treatments these days, but that doesn’t mean they’re all well trained or supervised. Word of mouth can be helpful; so are websites that review cosmetic surgeons, such as realself.com. DURING • Size up your doctor’s face—not for beauty or for comparison, but to gauge how natural she looks. Many derms perform cosmetic treatments on themselves (myself included), and this can offer a sense of her aesthetic in an instant. • Inquire about your doctor’s philosophy (does she encourage a natural look?) and communicate specific concerns (uneven pigment? a furrowed brow? skin laxity?). No matter your goals, a gradual approach is best, especially for a procedure you haven’t tried before. It’s…

I LOVEÉ Bold Lips “My lipstick matters as much as my clothes—I feel naked without it. I never used to wear makeup at all until two years ago. Now I need lipstick to get out the door. My favorite colors are deep plum or a soft, matte red. Lipstick can change my whole mood: It makes me feel more powerful, friendly, and confident when I approach people. And a bold lip color never fails to bring edge to whatever I wear. Strangers will even stop me in the grocery store to tell me they like my lipstick.
