Anti-Ageing Foods, The Science of Food Preferences & Stacey Face
6/1/202655 min
This week we’re discussing whether children’s taste preferences actually begin developing before birth, after a fascinating study found babies exposed to vegetables in the womb appeared more accepting of those flavours years later. We also unpack new research suggesting olive oil, berries and coffee may help support healthier ageing at a cellular level through their impact on telomeres, the protective caps linked to biological ageing. We also dive into the surprising old wives’ tales science says may actually be true, from cranberry juice helping prevent UTIs to why hot tea can cool you down and whether an apple a day really does help keep the doctor away. And in What’s Trending in Wellness, we explore the rise of “Stacey Face” and female looksmaxxing: the growing world of AI beauty-rating apps, teenage girls uploading selfies for attractiveness scores, and the increasingly dystopian collision of beauty culture, algorithms and artificial intelligence.

As the temperatures heat up outside, a very important part of staying cool both during the day and at night is to make sure that your bedding and your loungewear are up to the task. That's why I love my Cozy Earth bamboo sheet set. It's made with viscose from bamboo, so the fabric is naturally temperature regulating, and it keeps you cool throughout the night. The sheets feel really luxurious and smooth, and they actually get softer with every wash. So I absolutely look forward to slipping into bed at the end of a long day. And with Father's Day coming up, Cozy Earth has the perfect gift, an outfit that he'll live in all summer with the Everywhere Pant and Everyday Polo. They both combine comfort and quality. The pants have a light stretch and are breathable while the polo has a classic fit that makes it a staple year-round. And Cozy Earth stands behind everything they make: a 100-night sleep trial on the sheets, a lifetime warranty on the clothing, and hassle-free returns if anything isn't right. Summer should feel easy for everyone in the house. Cozy Earth's bamboo sheet set, Everywhere Pant, and Everyday Polo are designed to keep him cool, comfortable, and actually relaxed all summer long.
