"The new year is a time when many try to start new good habits and commit to improving health and wellness. But resolutions, lofty as they may be, can turn daunting quickly with all the advice and sometimes contradicting information coming at you from news reports, advertisers, influencers, friends and even politicians. But they don't have to be. This year, The Associated Press got the downlow on all manner of health and wellness claims and fads."
"Protein and fiber are important, but you probably don't need to pay more When it comes to your diet, experts say most people can skip the upcharge. If you're eating enough, you're probably getting enough protein and don't need products that promise some big boost. And it's true that most people could use more fiber in their diets. But, please, ditch the fiber-maxxing trend. Instead, eat whole foods such as fruits, vegetables, beans and whole grains."
"A good skin care routine is not expensive or complicated That 20-step skin care routine and $200 serum some TikToker sold you on? Dermatologists say you really don't need it. Stay away from the beef tallow and slather on a good sunscreen instead (yes, even if you have darker skin ), they say. And the same rule for simplicity applies to that hourlong everything shower. The best showers are simple and short, dermatologists say, no double cleansing required."
Keep health and wellness changes simple to avoid confusion from conflicting advice. Most people who eat enough food receive sufficient protein and do not need products promising large boosts. Many people could use more fiber, but increasing fiber through fruits, vegetables, beans and whole grains is preferable to fiber-maxxing trends. A basic skin care routine is effective; expensive multi-step regimens and specialty serums are unnecessary. Regular use of sunscreen is important for all skin tones. Short, simple showers are better for skin health than long, hourlong cleansing routines or double cleansing.
