Quick Tip
Weekly Weigh-in
The best day to weigh yourself is
Wednesday, according to a Finnish
study. Because people tend to eat
more on the weekends, you’ll have
fewer ﬂuctuations midweek than
near Saturday and Sunday, making it
easier to gauge your true progress.

ia Jiang was building his dream business
when he lost his only investor. Realizing
that the fear of further rejections was
holding him back more than any
actual failure, Jiang began an
experiment. For 100 days, he invited
rejection by approaching strangers
and making unusual requests, such
as asking to play soccer in their
backyard or ordering Krispy Kreme
doughnuts in the shape of the
Olympic rings. In time, Jiang gained
conﬁdence and learned tactics for
turning “no” into “yes,” shared in his new book,

CHANGE HOW YOU FACE
CHALLENGES THIS MONTH WITH
A SIMPLE MIND TRICK.
T
here are two ways to handle
the challenges of life: Face
Everything And Rise or Forget
Everything And Run. The ﬁrst
letters of both phrases spell FEAR—
because fear is a part of life. We
couldn’t get rid of it,
or the stress it causes,
if we tried. However,
we can manage our
reactions to stressful
situations and even
change the outcome. Petra Kolber
If you look hard enough, a more
positive take exists for your biggest
challenges. This is called reframing.
This month, practice this threestep reframing method so you
can see opportunities to grow. No
matter how out of control your life
seems, you always have this stressbusting tool at your disposal.
1. Take a few moments to identify
what is causing you to feel stressed.
For example: “I’m overwhelmed
with too many projects at work.”
2. Put a spin on your thoughts to
emphasize the positive. “My boss
must appreciate my skills if she trusts
me with so many crucial tasks.”
3. Broaden and build on that
thought. “I’m proud of my work
accomplishments. I’ll also evaluate
my process to see if there’s a
more efficient way to tackle my
workload.”

Beauty secret:

I was a teenage yo-yo dieter. I’d eat my feelings and then go on stupid
diets. After my parents died, I thought, “I’m going to do everything I can
to save my life and my siblings’ lives.” I wanted to learn about health.
My next book will be a love story. Two months into my relationship
with my husband Michael Brown, he was diagnosed with cancer. I said,
“Failure is not an option.” He’s been in remission for 11 years.
I did a radio segment on sensitive bladder, and I said, “Why is
nobody talking about this? I have a big mouth, so I will!” I don’t want this
issue to stop anyone from dancing or exercising.
I remember virtually every day of my life in detail, because I was
born with something called highly superior autobiographical memory.
By comparison, most people can only remember 8 to 11 events from each
year of their lives. I’m also able to retain nearly everything I read. The
cop played by Poppy Montgomery on TV’s Unforgettable has the type of
memory I do, so I’m a consultant on the show.
Your memory is a muscle you have to exercise. Each day, take a
photo on your smartphone that represents the theme of your day. At the end
of the month, scroll through and see how much you remember.
I believe everyone should eat half an avocado every day. When
the 3 o’clock slump hits, I eat a big salad with spinach, red onion and avocado.
I’m an empty nester, but the bigger transition was when my boys
learned to drive, and we weren’t spending hours in the car together. Now,
we text a lot. My youngest son called yesterday and said, “I can’t wait to
eat your food!” That’s the nicest compliment.

SPRING ALLERGIES MAY BE ON THE RISE, BUT NEW FIXES ARE
EXPANDING YOUR TREATMENT TOOLKIT. By Marygrace Taylor
N

ALLERGIES REALLY HAVE GROWN
more prevalent—and symptoms have gotten
more unpleasant. Thanks to climate change,
spring is starting earlier than it used to, while
plants are producing more symptom-triggering
pollen. “So you have more pollen, more
powerful pollen and pollen that lasts for a longer
time,” says Clifford Bassett, MD, fellow of the
American Academy of Allergy, Asthma and
Immunology (AAAAI) and medical director of
Allergy & Asthma Care of New York.
Fortunately, doctors are cultivating different
methods for treating allergies and minimizing
their unpleasant symptoms—from new
technologies to ancient practices. Here, three that
can help take the sniffles out of your springtime.
Immunotherapy
Immunotherapy exposes the immune system
to tiny amounts of the thing that you’re allergic
to in the form of shots (which have been
around for years) or oral drops, a new method
of treatment. Over time, that exposure teaches
your immune system to stop seeing allergens as
threatening invaders—and in turn, tamp down

Hailing from traditional Chinese medicine,
acupuncture uses thin needles to stimulate
pressure points in the body associated with
speciﬁc ailments. After an initial assessment,
treatments are usually about 30 minutes long
and administered weekly or biweekly for at
least a month.
More research is needed to ﬁnd out exactly
how acupuncture makes allergies easier to deal
with, Bassett says. Still, when incorporated into
a larger treatment plan, new evidence shows
that the therapy can reduce symptoms such
as runny nose and watery eyes, particularly
for those who suffer from year-round allergies
(usually due to indoor triggers such as dust
mites and pet dander). You can ﬁnd a licensed
practitioner in your area by asking your doctor
for a referral or visiting nccaom.org.

from the lemon wedges in your
drink at a restaurant?
A. A person with a messy workspace may
just be very busy and more engaged with their
work than they are with cleaning their office,
according to research.
A study published in Psychological Science
found people with messy desks were more likely
to be more creative and produce new or fresh
ideas than those whose desks were neat. On the
ﬂip side, neat freaks were more likely to “do the
right thing,” like making a charitable donation or
eating a healthy diet.
If you don’t feel that you’re as productive as
you could be, clearing your desk could help.
Try scheduling a desk-cleaning day on your
calendar each week. In the end, you want
your mind to feel uncluttered. That’s what
makes a difference—more than what is
actually on your desk.

Lemon or lime wedges can perk up your
drink, but they can easily be contaminated
with bacteria if prepped by restaurant
employees who are not wearing gloves or
washing their hands properly.
If you see restaurant employees behind
the counter handling wedges with their bare
hands, that may be a good sign not to order a
lemon or lime in your beverage. However, if
they are wearing plastic gloves or using tongs
for serving, the risk is much lower.
The types of bacteria from unwashed
hands may cause upset stomachs or diarrheal
illnesses such as bacterial gastroenteritis. Still,
most people’s immune
systems are strong enough
to ﬁght them—natural

Championed by supermodels such as Molly
Sims, dry brushing is a technique that involves
body massage with a dry, stiff-bristled brush. It’s
been said to increase circulation, detoxify, aid in
digestion—and even improve the appearance of
cellulite. As with most celebrity fads, there’s truth
in some, but not all, of these claims.
While there’s absolutely no scientiﬁc
evidence for the cellulite or digestion promises,
the mechanical action of dry brushing is
wonderful for exfoliating dry skin and
unclogging pores. It also helps detoxify by
increasing blood circulation and promoting
lymph ﬂow, and it stimulates your nervous
system, which can make you feel invigorated
afterward.
If you want to try it, the best time to dry
brush is just before a shower. Use a natural
stiff-bristled bath or shower brush. Start from
the feet and work your way upward in long
ﬂuid strokes on limbs and
circular motions on torso and
back. Move

moisture. Repeat daily as needed.

We have the AFFORDABLE solution!
Roadside Assistance
Whether you’re between errands or on a spring
break trip, sometimes the drive-thru beckons. These
new lighter fast-food picks will ﬁll you up.
Protein on the Run
Taco Bell’s Cantina Power Bowl with Chicken is generously
sized and packs in 29g of protein and 8g of ﬁber to keep your
energy up until the next pit stop. Even with the sour cream and
avocado ranch dressing, the dish weighs in at fewer than 500 calories.
Victory for Veggies
Long a late-night favorite, White Castle’s sliders now
come in a vegetarian option by popular brand Dr.
Praeger’s. Made with carrots, zucchini and broccoli, the
patty is ﬂavorful enough to eat plain. Two sliders are under 400 calories
with no trans or saturated fat and almost half of your daily vitamin A.
Soda-Lovers’ Savior
Sonic’s new Sonic Splash drinks satisfy soda cravings
without lots of sugar. Sunshine Berry, a combo of
real strawberries, peach and lemon, contains only 20
calories and 5g of sugar in a 14-oz. size—plus 15 percent of your vitamin C
for the day. For an even lighter pick, try calorie-free Raspberry.
No Pie in the Sky
When the pizza craving hits, Pizza Hut’s Skinny Italy
is one of the healthier ways to curb it. This new variety
weighs in at only 220 calories per slice, with nearly half the
fat of classic favorites like Supreme and just as much ﬂavor, thanks to
meatballs, red onions and a balsamic drizzle.
Ramen Alternative
Panera Bread’s Broth Bowls are a tasty addition to
the sandwich-heavy menu. More ﬁlling than a cup
of soup, the Lentil Quinoa Bowl with Chicken delivers 34g of protein
and only 9g of fat in a kale-studded broth. Pasta lovers should check out
the Soba Noodle Bowl with Edamame for fewer than 400 calories.
