Is your sleep aging you? The worst damage to your skin might be happening during non-waking hours. While getting enough sleep is imperative to stress-reduction, it’s key in minimizing the appearance of lines and wrinkles.

Here are some tips to make sure your sleep quality is working for you.

1. Listen to your dentist, don’t grind your teeth.
2. Sleep on your back to remove pressure on your face.
3. Try a silk pillowcase to wake up creaseless and ease puffiness.
4. Use a humidifier for glowing skin in the am.

What’s not to love about apricots? They’re sweet, they’re juicy, and they look and smell great. Like peaches, their pretty orange-yellow color provides a clue as to their nutrient content. They’re a good source of beta-carotene, potassium, vitamin C and more. And while they’re on the sweet side, they’re a far cry from sugary breakfast cereals. From sweet to savory dishes, check them out in these apricot bars, apricot and basil pesto chicken, and apricot chicken tajine.

It’s time to forget your notion of what a cleanse is. Cleansing can be as easy as eating foods that help filter gunk out of your gut and drinking enough water to keep digestion in check so it releases unwanted toxins from your system. Here’s how.

• Eat anti-inflammatory food, like whole foods packed with nutrients
• Drink more of the right things, like water with lemon or green tea
• Get moving, get out there and exercise
• Eat smaller portions – and slowly
• Get a good night’s sleep

Happy cleansing!
