Fill your week with smiles!

SUNDAY, AUGUST 2 NATIONAL ICE-CREAM SANDWICH DAY Upgrade your dessert Refresh with a fruity spin on an ice-cream sandwich! Before you start stacking, use a cookie cutter to cut slices of angel food cake into circles; freeze for an hour. This prevents the cake from crumbling and keeps the ice cream cold. To make Berry Ice-Cream Sandwiches: Fold chopped berries or plums into softened strawberry ice cream. Spread between 2 slices of angel food cake. Pop back in the freezer for 30 minutes to harden before serving. Time after time After driving for 16 hours, a truck driver pulls over to take a nap. But he is soon woken up by a knock on the cab window. “Can you tell me the time?” asks a jogger. “It’s 4:30,” he answers. He falls asleep again but…

“Fate brought us together, love makes us a family!”

What’s going on? Jessica Benzakein wondered when her then-husband came home after walking their dog and told her that a mom and several young kids were sleeping in a car behind their garage. Without a second thought, Jessica ran outside and found a car held together by duct tape, the young family crowded inside with a big pile of clothes heaped in the backseat. They must be homeless, Jessica thought sadly. Gently tapping on the window, she asked the mother, “Would you like to come into the house?” The woman nodded, and with Jessica cradling the youngest of the four children, just an infant, they followed her inside and gobbled up the peanut butter sandwiches Jessica prepared and handed out. But now what? she worried. She couldn’t just send them back out…

The total-body detox that makes you gorgeous

Double chin? Reduce it with a matcha rub Matcha’s caffeine boosts circulation, and massaging it onto skin increases lymph flow. Mix it with amino acid–rich egg whites to tighten skin, and the jaw will appear firmer fast. ▪ TRY IT! Mix 1 Tbs. of matcha powder, ½ Tbs. of water and ½ Tbs. of egg whites. Rub along the jaw using gentle pressure while gliding hands down the neck three times; rinse after 15 minutes. Puffy face? Shrink it with an iced tea compress Packed with anti-inflammatory compounds, black tea absorbs into skin to help release fluids that accumulate under eyes and around cheeks.

Easy ways to wake up to a younger brain!

This week’s Radical Health tip The 11¢ capsule that’ll help you DEFEAT ANY VIRUS Many viruses, including COVID-19, are enveloped in a protective layer that shields them from our immune system. Luckily, there is an all-natural fix: a fat found in coconut oil called monolaurin. Georgetown University researchers report that mono laurin completely dissolves a virus’s protective layer, so the body can fight off the foreign invaders more quickly. Since simply eating coconut oil doesn’t provide a large enough dose, I recommend taking 1,000 mg. of mono laurin twice daily. courtesy of Ann Louise Gittleman, Ph.D. For more, text RADICAL to 208-254-6002 or visit RadicalMetabolism.com ✓ Inhale a cedar forest “The sweet, woody scent of cedarwood essential oil calms the anxiety center of the brain [the amygdala], plus soothes the adrenal glands, tamping down their stress hormone…

Swaps that end GI ugh

✓ INDIGESTION? Switch from spearmint gum to fruity gum Studies show chewing sugar-free gum for a half hour after eating quashes indigestion by washing painful acids out of the esophagus. The trick: Choose fruity or cinnamon rather than mint gum. Turns out, menthol weakens the “door” between the esophagus and stomach, allowing acid to splash up. The effect is so pronounced, a new study suggests making this simple swap would quash pain for 100% of folks with chronic reflux. Tip: Select a gum containing bi carbonate, a study-backed acid neutralizer proven to tamp down indigestion even better than ordinary gum. Try: Between! Cinnamon Gum. ✓ CRAMPING? Switch from dairy to coconut ice cream You don’t have to be lactose-intolerant to have a bad reaction to dairy. Lactose, a sugar found only in dairy,…

Summer tweaks ward off diabetes

✓ Toss some lil’ sacks Just a few minutes a day playing cornhole (or croquet or bocce ball) could cut your risk of blood-sugar troubles by 45%, suggests research in the journal PLOS ONE. Study co-author Ken Terui, M.D., explains that’s because the combination of childlike fun with a little movement drastically reduces your production of cortisol. This stress hormone sabotages blood-sugar control by stopping muscles from soaking up and burning blood glucose for fuel. So easy, so fun! ✓ Munch on a peach Juicy peaches are at their peak of flavor right now, and enjoying one daily could cut your risk of blood-sugar ups and downs by 40%. The reason? According to researchers at Texas A&M University, peach compounds (beta-carotene and caffeic acid) heighten your pancreas’ ability to produce insulin and keep…

Smell sweet all summer long!

Body odor Swabbing witch hazel under arms (or applying it with a spray bottle) stops BO in its tracks. The reason: Tannins in the classic toner alter skin’s pH, creating an unfriendly environment for stinky bacteria. And witch hazel is high in natural polyphenol compounds that have a potent antimicrobial action, USDA researchers say, suppressing bacterial growth by up to 600%! Breath odor To make sure sausage with onions doesn’t linger long after the picnic, just enjoy a crunchy salad on the side. Lettuce helps scrub teeth while increasing the production of saliva, which acts as a freshening “rinse cycle” for your mouth. Researchers reporting in the Journal of Food Science found that enzymes and phenols in the crunchy green lowered breath levels of smelly sulfur compounds produced by garlic and onions by…

Shower secret to thicker-looking hair

Lifeless locks? Use conditioner first The residue conditioner leaves behind can weigh down hair for a limp look. Instead, conditioning before shampooing gives hair the hydration it needs, while the shampoo rinses away heavy oils so strands have more bounce. Parched hair? Use coconut oil first Water strips oils from hair, leaving it dry and flat, but coconut oil’s fatty acids lock in hair-plumping moisture and form a barrier over tresses to keep excess water out. Apply ¼ cup of the oil to hair; let sit 5 minutes, then shampoo. Breaking strands? Use egg yolk first Washing, then brushing, wet locks can cause shedding and breakage that thins hair. But thanks to its biotin, 1 whisked egg yolk applied all over dry hair 15 minutes before washing fortifies follicles so strands stay strong.…

Let summer make you healthy!

A quick dip boosts joy in 15 minutes! Feeling a little irritable or blah? On hot days, the strain of keeping your core temperature steady slows the body’s production of the moodlifting brain chemical serotonin. Luckily, floating in a cool pool, lake or ocean for just 15 minutes helps your body ramp up serotonin production, UCLA scientists say, making you feel markedly more upbeat. Soothe sore muscles with a beach read When yard work leaves you sore, set aside the shears and grab Brenda Novak’s One Perfect Summer or The Summer Deal by Jill Shalvis. Kicking back with a beach read calms aches in 10 minutes, German scientists say. R&R helps your brain churn out GABA, a hormone that dulls pain.

“A pantry staple cured my night sweats!”

“Not again!” Amy Beckley moaned as the familiar pain of a piercing migraine began. For months, the debilitating headaches had made it difficult for the 40-year-old to concentrate at work and care for her kids. But now, a more troubling symptom had emerged: One night, as Amy climbed into bed, she felt prickly and hot, and all at once, she was sweating and anxious. What could be causing this? she wondered, when suddenly, she recalled that her mother had suffered from migraines and night sweats, which came on in her early 40s and didn’t subside until after menopause. Mystery solved, she concluded grimly: The migraines, anxiety and hot flashes were symptoms of perimenopause. Will it wreak havoc on my health for years? she worried. “Seeds brim with nutrients that can balance hormones!” —Sara…

“Help! Summer makes me so tired”

Boost mental energy Recall happy days Most of us are experiencing a big disconnect between what we expected our summer to be and the reality of what it is, says energy expert Ellen Meredith, explaining that this gulf can leave us drained and disappointed. To begin recharging, ask yourself, What’s my favorite summer memory? “Focus on how you can give that to yourself in little ways, with 5-minute breaks,” she urges. “If you find yourself wishing you were at the beach, watch a video of the ocean or flip through pictures of your last vacation—this gives the emotional part of your brain what it needs in smaller doses, boosting energy.” Chill your brain Mindfulness lifts mental energy by anchoring us in the moment—and taking a cool shower is the summer-friendly way to amplify the…

Breeze through the top 5 worst chores

1 Speed through dishes with a vodka de-grease According to a recent national survey, dishes are public enemy number one! Luckily, there’s an easy way to speed through cleaning them, and it actually involves doing less work, promises Abe Navas, general manager of Emily’s Maids in Dallas, who says just soaking dishes in hot, soapy water for 15 minutes “super hydrates” stuck-on gunk, helping it lift right off. Pro tip: Add a splash of vodka to the dishwater to speed-clean greasy pots and pans—the alcohol absorbs grease particles, so dishes easily wipe clean. 2 Clean bathrooms fast with multipurpose vinegar To make quick work of the second biggest cleaning peeve, break out white vinegar. “Wipe tiles and sinks with a cloth soaked in vinegar to lift soap scum and mildew,” says cleaning expert…

“I make $500 a month selling my doll clothes designs!” Sally Longcor channels her flair for sewing into a thriving Etsy shop! Here’s how: “At the age of 8, I fell in love with sewing, and since then, I’ve made everything from slipcovers to bridesmaid dresses. So when I gave my granddaughters American Girl dolls a few years ago, I decided to sew unique but simple outfits for the dolls that were meant to be played with and easy to take on and off. To ensure the proper fit, I bought a doll of my own, and that inspired me to also make outfits that were not for play but more like miniature people clothes: silk-lined cashmere coats, wool jumpers, linen blouses and hand-knit baby alpaca sweaters. I also began making accessories…

Save $1,000s on your pets

Slash food costs by $30 A food secret many fur parents might not know? A store’s generic-label pet food often contains the same ingredients as well-known brands but at no-fuss prices. An example: American Journey, the house brand at Chewy.com, costs $36 for a 24-pound bag of grain-free dry dog food compared with $54 for Wild Wilderness, reveals Elizabeth Willard of the financial independence blog Frugalwoods.com. Her tip: Choosing the auto-ship option at Chewy can save you even more, including 25% off your first order! Get grooming for less Many owners routinely shell out $45–$90 to have their dogs professionally groomed. To sidestep those steep expenses (and save thousands longterm), consider “insourcing” some of the recurring services you’ve been outsourcing, like bathing, grooming or nail clipping. Willard recommends the Safari Professional Stainless Steel…

Debbie’s Aunt Elizabeth had always been a self-professed “puzzle zle freak.” Some of Debbie’s fondest memories were of visits to her aunt’s ram-bling Victorian in Paradise Estates across town, where they would sit for hours at a massive table in the study working on puzzles. Sometimes it was an anagram. Sometimes it was a rebus or word search. But, most often, they worked on Aunt Elizabeth’s favorite: crosswords. Her physician aunt loved them because “they make you think of things differently.” As Debbie entered her apartment, she could feel the anticipation building. Today was her birthday, and every year since she was old enough to spell, her aunt had treated her to a birthday puzzle. Each year, Debbie would receive a message from Aunt Elizabeth leading her to a location at which her…

My sister, my angel

My big sister, Jeanie, passed away suddenly a couple of years ago. She was a fierce protector of me when we were growing up, and we were best friends as we grew older. Moving forward in life without her has been difficult, and I still miss her every day. Jeanie faced medical challenges that had begun to consume her life, yet she found great joy when she bought her dream house. The house with a beautiful lake view was in our childhood neighborhood and had belonged to her friend’s parents. She had lots of hopes and plans for the house and property, but her declining health prevented her from realizing her goals. My sister left her house to me, and doing the work that she intended to do has been therapeutic in…

“HIS KINDNESS MADE MY DAY!” After weeks of quarantine, I was delighted to find out my favorite craft mall was open! I don’t drive, but it was a nice day, so I biked the 6 miles. While browsing, I fell in love with a signed print but had no way to get it home. I loved it enough to call the shop the next day and ask about delivery. Alas, the fee was almost as much as the print! The owner asked me if I was the customer who had biked in and said he was impressed that I had come so far on a bike just to visit their shop. With that, he said he would deliver the print for free! He made my day, and I will be enjoying…

A chip off the old block

Molly pulled the last ripe tomato from the vine and leaned back on her heels, beaming at her small garden with satisfaction. The early afternoon sun hit the patch of land full-on, warming her face as she tilted it toward the cloudless blue sky. She placed both palms on the dirt and did something that always delighted her as a child: inhaled the scent of garden tomatoes. The earthy green fragrance bloomed around her, and she thought about how happy her neighbor, the kind but curmudgeonly Mr. Johnson, was going to be when she brought him a basket of his favorite summer bounty. He was known to sit on his back swing, tomato in one hand, saltshaker in the other. Molly had been looking out for him since she moved next…

“He’s planting seeds of joy for his neighbors!”

Sitting on his tractor in his backyard in Calera, Alabama, Billy Graham Jr. sighed as he looked around. It had been days since he’d seen a friendly face, as most of his neighbors were holed up indoors in the midst of the COVID-19 outbreak. The emotional impact of this virus could be as bad as the virus itself, Billy worried, thinking of all the people who may experience depression and anxiety from the isolation. But as he started up his 1979 rototiller, Billy felt moved to do something to help. Having been a farmer for most of his life, he knew the positive effects of being outdoors and watching something grow. I’m going to till my neighbors’ overgrown gardens, he thought. Maybe that will encourage them to get outside and let the sunshine…
