Cold shower? Apple cider vinegar? Learn about these home remedies for healthier skin.Cold showers aren't just for cooling off after a hot, hard workout in the sun. In fact, a cold shower can do wonders for the health of your skin, by improving circulation and activating the nervous system. If you don't think you can suffer through an entire shower with cold water, try ending your warm-water session with one or two minutes of cold, says special guest and natural healing expert, Deirdre Layne. You can also use almond oil or olive oil to moisturize post-shower and to give your skin a healthy glow. From the bathroom onto the kitchen... apple cider vinegar is also an effective way to improve the health of your skin; whether you use it externally or internally. Coined a "modern folk remedy" by Layne, apple cider vinegar can be helpful in easing arthritis, curing food poisoning, lessening symptoms of a sinus infection and even helping you overcome acid reflux and GERD. And if you're looking to fight off acne, apple cider vinegar can be used externally by swabbing your face with a cotton ball soaked in it. Turmeric can also be helpful in preventing acne breakouts, boils and staph infections.

Select on-the-go breakfast foods can help both you and your teen have clearer skin.Aside from the typical strategies for clear, acne-free skin, such as cleansing every day, making sure to take your make-up off at night, and avoiding certain foods, there are other tactics - nutritional tactics - that you can implement to achieve beautiful, healthy skin. Breakfast is a great place to start, and smoothies are one way you can get your nutrition in quickly but robustly. For instance, fruits like lemons and apples are great for detoxifying the body and fighting acne. Kale, carrots and cucumber all do the same as well. But remember, there are things you should avoid if your goal is healthier, clearer skin. Sugar and caffeine can have negative effects on the skin, and even throw your hormones off balance. If you struggle with acne, you want to stay away from dairy foods; but you can substitute coconut milk or almond milk to add flavor and sweetness to your morning shake. Join David and Lisa to learn all about these tricks and tips to clearer skin.

Think juice is a healthy soda alternative? Think again. Many juice drinks contain more sugar than soft drinks.According to the Huffington Post, PepsiCo agreed to settle out of court for $9 million over a class action lawsuit that claimed the phrases of 'natural' and 'non-GMO' on their Naked Juice products were misleading. In fact, the juices are made with GMO ingredients, synthetic and 'unnatural' items. So, if you can't trust products like Naked Juice, what types of juices are good for you? 100% Orange juice, for example, is a convenient and great-tasting way to meet nutrient needs, providing vitamin C, potassium and calcium. But many experts say the biggest issue is juice isn't filling like whole fruits. Vegetable juice is packed with fiber that can help control hunger. It generally has far less sugar and fewer calories than fruit juice, but it is high in sodium (unless you choose the low sodium version). Many juice drinks contain more sugar than other soft drinks because of the artificial sugars added in – unless they are 100% fruit. Juices can have an effect on your weight and blood glucose, since the higher the sugar content in juice drinks, the higher the calorie count. The easy and practical way to avoid the types of juice drinks that are unhealthy for you and your family is by reading the labels. 100% juice with no sugar added and low sodium are healthy drink choices. These drinks do not have the calories and carbohydrates like other beverage alternatives, and they provide important vitamins and minerals. Here's another thing to consider... fruit juice contains the same nutrients that are found in whole fruit, but do not contain all of the fiber. Fiber helps to slow down the digestion and absorption of the natural sugars found in fruit. Fiber also helps to fill you up and keep you feeling fuller longer, while juice won't have that same effect. Whole fruit and vegetables are important for weight loss because of the high fiber, but also because of the high water content, which makes you feel more full with fewer calories - a requirement for weight loss and maintenance. Licensed and registered dietitian, Katherine Tallmadge, MA, RD, shares the healthiest juices you should be drinking and the ones to avoid.

But snacking doesn't have to be all bad.Snacking is an area where many people drop the ball when it comes to healthy eating.

The trick is to change your snacking habits and control your options. You can allow yourself guilt-free snacks that do not cancel out your typical dietary regimen. Licensed and registered dietitian, Katherine Tallmadge, MA, RD, shares the best summertime snacks that will still help you maintain your weight loss goals. 

Does fish fraud put your health at risk or just cheat you out of better quality seafood?This sounds a little all too familiar: Europe was recently caught passing horse meat as beef to consumers, and the nightmare of not knowing what truly lies on your dinner plate continues here in the United States with fish. One-third of the seafood sold in grocery stores and restaurants is mislabeled. Back in February 2013, Oceana, an international group advocating for the protection of oceans, conducted a study that collected DNA samples from over 1,200 fish from 674 retail outlets in 21 states to investigate how honestly the fish was labeled. The study found that the most collected fish, snapper, was mislabeled 87 percent of the time and tuna was mislabeled 59 percent. However, those aren't the only fish consumers need to worry about. Restaurants and grocery stores counterfeit other common fish, replacing wild salmon with farm-raised salmon and tilapia for a more-expensive grouper. The businesses use cheaper species in place of a higher-cost fish to save money, all while ripping off you, the consumer. Americans are eating about $80 billion worth of seafood annually, which increases the demand; especially for certain fish that are more popular than others. But does fish fraud put your health at risk or just cheat you out of better quality seafood? Gib Brogan, Oceana's Northeast representative, speaks openly on the findings from Oceana's studies, the potential health threats and how to protect yourself from seafood fraud.

Nutrition is essential for preventing and managing diabetes, but balancing your diet isn't easy. What exactly is a healthy diabetes diet?Type-2 Diabetes is a chronic condition caused by high levels of glucose (sugar) in the blood.  Type-2 diabetes is an international health crisis and is one of the most common non-contagious diseases. An estimated 366 million people had diabetes in 2011, and those numbers continue to rise. Many people transition through a "pre-diabetes" stage, where blood glucose is elevated but is not high enough to be considered diabetes. Research proves that people with pre-diabetes can take steps to reduce their risk of developing diabetes. A healthy lifestyle, including diet, exercise and stress management is the best defense against the disease.  It's no secret that proper nutrition is essential for preventing and managing diabetes, but balancing your diet is much easier said than done.  What exactly is a healthy diabetes diet? Registered Dietitian, Barbara Allan, provides strategies for preventing and managing diabetes in an easy-to-follow 10-step program. She also shares recipes from her book, The The Diabetes Prevention & Management Cookbook,  which are specifically designed to help manage blood glucose, blood pressure and cholesterol, while supporting a healthy lifestyle.
