BEAUTY SLEEP

Having trouble getting enough zzzzs? A recent study

from The University of Texas at Austin found that

having a bath 90 minutes before bedtime improved

the overall quality of slumber and the time it takes

to fall asleep. Turns out a warm soak stimulates our

body’s thermoregulatory system, which is involved

in determining the natural sleep cycle.

COLLAGEN CALLING

Collagen, the body’s most abundant

protein, also happens to be included in some

of this year’s most popular health foods. The

potential benefits of the supplement? Stronger

bones, joint pain relief and improved heart and skin

health. Thanks to this boom you can increase your

collagen intake with a variety of products from snack

bars to coffee creamers to bottled water.

SPICE IT UP

Saffron, the orange-yellow spice that

lends golden colour and aromatic flavour

to dishes like paella, biryani and European

baked goods, has some uses outside the

kitchen, too. The dried stigmas of this

prized ingredient are used in beauty

products and boast skin-brightening,

anti-inflammatory and anti-aging

benefits. Thankfully, with the spice’s price

point (worth more per pound than gold!)

a little goes a long way.
