Up Your Health Game

Grin And Diet

Fitbit-like devices for your teeth are a thing and they could completely change the way you eat. Tiny and sleek, the sensors can detect a wide range of nutrients and chemicals in your food, helping you determine how your diet impacts your health. Talk about a game changer! [Swirled]

Time To Chill

Spending time outside in winter could help you lose weight, according to new research. The reason? Your body produces more brown fat when exposed to cold weather, which burns energy rather than storing it. So if you’re trying to tone up, consider leaving off the extra layers when going for a cold morning run. A little chill could be worth it. [Swirled]

(Don’t) Shop Till You Drop

Ever wonder why you feel so good after a “treat yo self” shopping sesh? According to psychologists, it’s because retail therapy gives you a short-term boost of happiness by offering you a feeling of control. To get the same serotonin boost without putting a dent in your savings, try exercising, meditating or reading a great book instead. [Refinery29]

Making Cents

The key to eliminating your money worries is to focus on just one main financial goal, says financial expert Suze Orman. So whether you’re trying to pay off debt or build your savings, picking one priority will help you streamline your finances and achieve the security you crave. [CNBC Make It]

Savor Each Bite

Hold The Salt, Please

Making a flavorful meal doesn’t have to mean pouring on the table salt. In fact, a few bold ingredients can really elevate your meals. The Japanese ingredient dashi can be a great addition to any broth, and nutritional yeast can add a cheesy twist to everything from pasta to popcorn. [Swirled]

This Is How We Brew It

Hemp beer is all the rage in Colorado and you’ll soon be able to get it pretty much anywhere, thanks to the New Belgium Brewing Company’s Hemperor HPA, a hemp ale that might be the closest beer to cannabis yet. Debuting on April 2, the Hemperor has an ABV of 7 percent with a dank and heady aroma. [Swirled]
