Some Like It Cold

Higher temps and humidity make the struggle to spend time in the kitchen very real. Your new cure-all: chilled no-cook soups. Packed with raw fruits and vegetables, these restorative sippers provide nutrients plus crave-worthy flavors with staying power. "Something like juice isn't a meal; it's what you have with a meal," says nutritionist Cara Anselmo, RDN, whereas soup is a totally different deal. Soup preserves the fiber in produce and often offers protein, fat, and seasonings, which help with satiety, she says. These recipes check all those boxes and offer hydration to help beat the heat-thanks to ingredients like cucumbers and tomatillos. But perhaps their biggest benefit? You don't have to turn on the stove.

Amino Acids- Get the inside scoop on whether the booster can help you build muscle and more).

There are as many performance supplements as there are protein-packed foods in a WH editor’s fridge. A biggie? Amino acids, which are the building blocks of protein. The 11 amino acids our bodies synthesize are called “nonessential,” but we need 9 others (known as “essential”) to survive. These supps contain “one or more of the essential amino acids your body doesn’t produce on its own,” says Adam Field, PhD, a lecturer in sport and exercise sciences at Manchester Metropolitan University in England.

The vaginal microbiome holds valuable insights into your health. Learn more about the trendy idea of optimizing your own. The vaginal microbiome is a topic that's "never gotten enough attention," despite being a complex and incredibly important system, says Johanna B. Holm, PhD, an assistant professor in the department of microbiology and immunology at the University of Maryland School of Medicine. For starters, the microbiome helps ward off unwanted bacteria and may even play a role in reducing the risk of sexually transmitted infections (STIs) and preterm birth, recent research found. And while it's all still new, scientists are starting to develop diagnostic tests to make sense of the vaginal microbiome in a meaningful way.
