WELL-INFORMED CINNAMON This assertive spice is a popular ingredient in fall foods, but did you know there’s more than one type? Cassia cinnamon is the common spicy-sweet, reddish-brown spice. Reach for it when you want to achieve bold, aromatic flavors (and remember that a little goes a long way). Ceylon cinnamon (aka true cinnamon, soft cinnamon, or Mexican cinnamon) is known for its soft texture and milder flavor. Ceylon is ideal for adding a touch of spice to sweet and savory dishes.

Slather on SPF and bite into juicy tomatoes to benefit your largest organ—your skin. Tomatoes are rich in lycopene and beta carotene, powerhouse carotenoids that can protect your skin from the sun. A 2023 meta-analysis of 21 studies, published in Critical Reviews in Food Science and Nutrition, found tomatoes’ carotenoids, especially lycopene, can reduce the likelihood of sunburns. Similarly, a 2019 study published in Skin Pharmacology and Physiology found that a supplement including 15 milligrams of lycopene and other nutrients commonly found in tomatoes protected against sunburn. (For reference, one large tomato nets about 5 milligrams of lycopene.) Pair tomatoes with a healthy fat source like avocado or a glug of EVOO to enhance your body’s absorption of carotenoids. Tomatoes’ high water content (95 percent!) helps maintain glowing skin. A 2024 study…
