While there’s nothing wrong with indulging in a craving for a scoop of ice cream or margarita every so often, too much sugar has negative health effects and can be detrimental to weight loss. The FDA recommends getting no more than 10% of your daily calories from added sugars and defines them as sugars added during processing or packaging.

Naturally occurring sugars in things like fruits, vegetables and dairy are much more nutritious than added sugars, because they come…

There is nothing as nice as a good and proper scrub. How many times have you gone to town on your body with a heavenly-smelling scrub or loofah to emerge smooth with a flushed glow? You’d probably start firmly believing that cleanliness is to scrubbiness, which isn’t too far from the truth. It’s best to exfoliate once or twice a week to keep your pores nice and clear without overdoing it. But, there are some caveats meaning you can certainly get too much of a good thing. Exfoliating doesn’t have to be a zero-to-60 affair; there are ranges! For one, the main differences generally lie in two camps: chemical and…
