WELLNESS — CRANBERRY JUICE IS THAT GIRL FOR THE GUT
1 glass, every day, is what you need to include in your consumption patterns. A molecular biologist from Princeton, Dr. Alexis Cowan, explains that getting red pigments from deep red or purple fruits is the most important thing you can do for gut bacteria as it feeds your bifido bacteria (the same population that’s nourished when you’re breastfed as a child). Proanthocyanidins in cranberry also help to create an environment in your gut that’s inhospitable to pathogenic bacteria & more comfortable for your pre/probiotics to settle.

LIFESTYLE — GEN IZ IS SPLURGING ON LUXURY GOODS
The younger generation is spending $$ on luxury items rather than saving up for a home or retirement. Some feel that home ownership is out of reach, therefore immediate fulfillment is the way to go. More than half of young adults are living at home which also leaves extra income for splurging.
