A new study warns that vaping has immediate negative effects on the body's circulation, even without nicotine.

The findings highlight the need for regulation and caution against vaping.

Warming your feet before bed can have a positive impact on sleep by promoting lower core body temperature and relaxation. This can be achieved through methods such as using a heating pad, taking a warm bath, using a foot spa, or wearing warm socks. Warming the feet dilates blood vessels, allowing more blood flow and dissipating body heat, which helps lower core body temperature. The sensation of warmth on the feet can be soothing and relaxing, making it easier to fall asleep. However, individual preferences vary, and some people may prefer cooler feet when they sleep. It is important to pay attention to your own comfort and sleep preferences.

Originally Published 2 years ago — by mindbodygreen

Research suggests that while both aerobic exercise and resistance training are beneficial for healthy skin aging, resistance training specifically increases the thickness of the inner skin layer, promoting supple and firm skin. The study found that resistance training improved skin elasticity, upper dermal structure, and increased the presence of molecules linked to skin firmness. Increasing the load in resistance training over time is important for optimal results. Overall, any form of exercise can benefit the skin, but if you're looking to increase dermal thickness, resistance training may be the way to go.
