It's a brave new world! A new decade has arrived and with it the momentum to make changes—lots of them. As your source for all things lifestyle, we've rounded up the most important things you need to know to kick off the new year.
We Heart Food
A heart-healthy diet has nothing to do with dieting. It's simply a way of eating foods low in sodium, fat and cholesterol. Check out our list of Heart-Healthy Restaurants around the world that offer wholesome cuisine without sacrificing taste.
Healthy Recipes
One of the good things about cooking for yourself is that you know exactly what goes into the dish, which means no hidden fats or strange-sounding additives. Check out this month's healthy recipe for a quick, easy and antioxidant-rich Broccoli Rabe Soup, courtesy of the California Health & Longevity Institute at Four Seasons Hotel Westlake Village.
Gluten-Free?
You cannot pass through a supermarket aisle without coming across a gluten-free product. In fact, sales of gluten-free products have grown an average of 28% over the past five years. We examine the growing trend and give both the pros and cons of living without this wheat protein.
What's Your Diet Type?
Here's a non-diet diet book for you deep thinkers. Separating people into types using the Myer-Briggs Type Indicator (something to look up), this unique approach delves into the deeper issues that cause us to overeat, fail and give up. And, of course, it offers the solutions to stop this kind of behavior!
Designer Water
Evian gives new meaning to the term "designer water." The producer of mineral water from the French Alps has teamed up with British designer Paul Smith to create several limited edition bottles.
Blood Orange Rooibos
Red bush tea is caffeine free and incredibly high in antioxidants, making it one of our favorite thirst quenchers. Check out this new offering from Cape Town, featuring two red-blooded contestants: rooibos and oranges.
Flu Fighter
Actually we do not recommend praying to ward off the seasonal flu and its nasty partner, H1N1. Instead, try SkinWear hand sanitizer, a "killer" non-toxic product that smells divine (for a hand sanitizer!) and moisturizes.
