CONSUMING CBD PRODUCTS AFTER HIGH-FAT FOODS MAY INCREASE ABSORPTION.

TUNE IN PRE-WORKOUT.

During the first few minutes of your next outdoor run or walk, take the opportunity to tune inward. It’s a trick used in Chelsea Aguiar’s The Swap Precision Walk on Variis. She suggests running through the following checklist of questions:
  • What’s going on in your body as you’re warming up today?
  • What do you feel from the bottoms of your feet all the way up to the top of your head?
  • Are you holding on to any unnecessary tension, maybe in your shoulders or hands?

QUICK-HIT MOCKTAIL: CBD STING

When CBD is infused in easily digestible honey, it also provides healing antioxidants, says Laura Rege, a New York City-based recipe developer. Blended with spicy jalapeño, sweet apple juice, and citrusy lemon, this mocktail is refreshing and satisfying.

SEEK MEANINGFUL ACTIVITIES.

Before you decide to learn a new language, write a novel, cook your way through a fancy cookbook, and walk five miles a day, hear this: Simply staying busy as a means to combat COVID fatigue “riles you up,” according to a recent study in PLOS ONE. In other words, it can make you feel more on-edge and flighty.

Meaningful activity, or things you enjoy doing, calm you down, adds study author Lauren Saling, Ph.D., from RMIT University in Melbourne, Australia. To ID meaningful pursuits, she suggests thinking about what you liked to do pre-COVID and trying to find a way to do those things now. For example, if you loved group fitness classes with friends, get those people to take a live class online with you.

CES REPORT

WELLNESS TECH TO WATCH FOR

Equinox’s chief technology officer, Samir Desai, attended CES virtually this year. Here, some of his favorite trends to watch for:

1. Sensors in clothing are continuing to become mainstream. Xenoma launched their e-skin product which allows trainers to track biomarkers and send personalized levels of simulation to their client's body.

2. Devices to keep tabs on air quality are trending. AirThings introduced a new in-home sensor to measure air quality for virus risks.

3. Health metrics you can track yourself are going beyond heart rate and step count. Biospectal introduced an app to use the optical sensor on your phone to measure your blood pressure.
