Lemon zest boosts mood
Aromatherapy research suggests that the scent of lemon
oil can lift spirits. Add lemon zest to iced tea: inhale the aroma.
Vinegar soothes sunburn
Soak a cotton ball in apple cider vinegar to treat fried skin,
says Bonnie McMillen, a nurse at the University of Pittsburgh
at Bradford.
Yogurt repairs skin
Use plain Greek yogurt as a mask: The live bacteria remove toxins,
and the acidity balances the pH of the skin, says Dharma Singh
Khalsa, MD.
Chamomile tea reduces irritation
Dip a washcloth in a strong iced brew and press onto skin to
help relieve inflammation, suggests Valori Treloar, MD.

Interesting Facts
4 is the number of daily cups of coffee it takes to reduce your
risk of depression by about 10 percent, per a report from the
National Institutes of Health.
20% is how much additional fat you can burn by working out before
breakfast, a British study reveals. Researchers say one reason is
that when you don't have recently consumed calories on board,
the body taps existing body fat for energy.
Ten is the number of points Americans' average cholesterol has
fallen since 1994, thanks to statin drugs plus better diet and
exercise habits. Keep up the good work!
36% is the amount by which you can reduce your future risk of
developing dementia if you get aerobically fit now, per a new study
by the Cooper Institute in Dallas.
Antioxidants. We think of them as disease fighters; now add acne
prevention to their list of potential superpowers. Folks who took
vitamins C and E plus polyphenols (the antioxidants in green tea)
both orally and topically had fewer breakouts, found a new study
in the Journal of Drugs in Dermatology.

Are Gummy Vitamins Any Good?
"In the past year, adult versions of these sweet supplements have
really taken off," says Prevention advisor Jennifer A.Reinhold,
PharmD. They're a fine alternative if you can't swallow pills, but
just remember- they're not candy.
"A few extra gummies now and then won't hurt you, " says Dr.
Reinhold. "But when you start regularly chowing them down in
large quantities, you could essentially overdose on fat-soluble
vitamins A, D, E, and K, since they can't be flushed out through
your urine like water-soluble vitamin C and the B vitamins."
Not to mention you're eating a lot of sugar. Just how many is too
many depends on the brand and the amount of each vitamin it
contains. "Usually two gummies contain 100% of your daily value
for most vitamins," says Dr. Reinhold. "If you consume more than
that regularly, however, your risk of overdose increases."
Overdose symptoms vary by individual but often include fatigue,
nausea, and muscle weakness.
