From eNewsletter 1/26/2026

DID YOU KNOW that regular physical activity may ease symptoms of depression about as effectively as psychological therapy, according to an updated Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews?

The review found that light to moderate intensity exercise may be more helpful than vigorous workouts. No single form of exercise clearly outperformed others. However, programs that combined different types of activity and resistance training appeared more effective than aerobic exercise alone.

Exercise should be the first line therapy for anyone dealing the beginnings of depression. Better yet, exercise consistently, starting at a young age as a preventive to combat depression.

Glowing Skin From Within

From eNewsletter 1/21/2026

DID YOU KNOW that consuming enough vitamin C can physically change your skin (in a good way)?

Vitamin C doesn’t just belong in skincare products. It works even better when you eat it. Scientists publishing in Journal of Investigative Dermatology discovered that vitamin C from food and supplements travels through the bloodstream into every layer of the skin, boosting collagen and skin renewal.

Vitamin C is essential for collagen production, which is why it is commonly added to skincare products. However, vitamin C dissolves easily in water and does not absorb well through the outer skin barrier. The study showed that skin cells are highly efficient at absorbing vitamin C from the blood, with uptake into the outer epidermal layer appearing to be a priority.

The findings suggest glowing skin really does start from within :)
