Urban Remedy Turmeric Relieve Shot and Blissful Belly Bowl
Properly nourishing our bodies should always be a top priority, but arguably even more so in the winter months, when colds and respiratory viruses surge and we’re relying on our strong immune systems to keep us healthy. When looking for nutrient-dense and convenient foods, meals, and beverages, check out Urban Remedy, a company known for its philosophy that food is healing. Urban Remedy offers delicious, freshly prepared meals, snacks and cold-pressed juices that are organic, non-GMO, gluten-free, dairy-free, and contain no refined sugar to support an anti-inflammatory diet.
You can supercharge your immune system with the Turmeric Relieve Shot, which contains vitamin C-rich pineapple juice with a hint of turmeric and cayenne for a spicy kick.
And to support a healthy gut microbiome, try the new Blissful Belly Bowl, a delicious probiotic bowl packed with kale, quinoa, chickpeas, creamy vegan cheese, miso dressing and colorful krauts.
Look for Urban Remedy’s grab-and-go kiosk at Whole Foods Market stores nationwide.
OLIPOP Shirley Temple Prebiotic Soda
The gastrointestinal tract is the largest immune system organ, housing 70 to 80% of your body’s immune cells. A balanced microbiome, one in which healthy gut bacteria can thrive, is key to keeping our immune system functioning properly. Well, with OLIPOP, you can enjoy the refreshing taste of a better-for-you soda that contains a functional ingredient blend (comprised of plant fiber, botanicals, and prebiotics) to support digestive health. With OLIPOP, both your taste buds and your gut will be happy.
Not only does OLIPOP support a happy and healthy gut, but it’s considerably lower in both sugar and calories than traditional soda. Each can of OLIPOP contains only 2-5 grams of sugar and just 35-50 calories, so it’s a much healthier option.
OLIPOP recently launched a new, limited-edition flavor that’s positively sensational. Inspired by the classic mocktail that dates back to the 1930s, OLIPOP’s Shirley Temple flavor features a delicious blend of tart cherry, white grape, lemon and lime. It’s available through the end of March at DrinkOlipop.com, Amazon, Walmart and Target.

In order to look and feel our best as we get older, we need to address the phenomenon known as inflammaging. As we age, the balance of our immune cells shifts to pro-inflammatory cell types — including senescent immune cells, which are damaged cells that have ceased to divide but don’t die, instead secreting inflammatory molecules. The resulting increase in inflammatory markers in our blood and tissues has dire consequences: first, it accelerates the aging process and, second, it leads to a higher risk of developing chronic diseases.
Thankfully, scientists are finding ways to tackle and curtail inflammaging. Wellness brand Elysium Health offers clinically validated products formulated in partnership with the world’s leading scientists and institutions. Many of these products seek to address aging-related concerns — such as inflammaging— using the most advanced research.
Format by Elysium Health is a groundbreaking supplement that uses three parallel approaches to address both the root causes and the downstream effects of an aging immune system. First, it contains foundational immunity ingredients like vitamin C, selenium and zinc to protect healthy immune cells from oxidative stress. Next, it features an Inflammaging Complex powered by a patented tamarind-turmeric blend that’s clinically proven to reduce elevated inflammatory markers like IL-6, CRP, and TNF-a in those with joint and connective tissue conditions. Lastly, it features a Senolytic Complex that’s clinically proven to clear senescent cells, boost muscle recovery and support cellular rejuvenation.

Evian Protect Mist
Next, to prevent dry and dull winter skin, turn to the Evian Protect Mist ($22 at Amazon and ULTA). This refreshing facial mist is designed to fortify the skin barrier, preventing the moisture loss that results from exposure to cold winter air and indoor heating. Formulated with organic flower extracts — including cornflower and wild indigo extracts— as well as Evian mineral water to naturally boos the skin barrier, the Evian Protect Mist effectively supports stressed skin that’s routinely exposed to chilly winds, pollution, and dry environments.
Evian Protect Mist is the perfect final step in your skincare or makeup routine, creating a thin protective veil over the face and functioning as our winter skin armor. You can apply it two to three times daily to give depleted skin the support it needs!
Sunrider OI-LIN Eye Cream
The delicate skin around the eyes is 6 to 10 times thinner than the skin on the rest of the face, so it’s more prone to showing aging signs. As we age, that skin becomes even thinner, making those aging signs all the more noticeable: not only do crow’s feet and fine lines deepen, but the blood vessels under the skin become more visible under that thinning under-eye skin, making the appearance of dark circles more pronounced. Cold conditions can exacerbate these problems, drying out already this delicate skin and bringing even more attention to any existing puffiness, dark circles, and fine lines.
To keep your eyes looking perky and smooth, try using the new Sunrider OI-LIN Eye Cream (available on Sunrider.com). This fast-acting, ultra-concentrated eye treatment effectively fades dark circles and minimizes fine lines, giving the eye area a smoother, brighter, more youthful appearance.
Formulated with plant-based ingredients, this powerful eye cream contains hyaluronic acid and vitamin B5 to moisturize and plump the skin, cucumber to reduce puffiness and redness, as well as peptides that support collagen production.
Secret Clinical Hyaluronic Acid Antiperspirant
While we may be more aware of how much we perspire in the hot summer months, the fact is we sweat all year round — even during the coldest of months. Moreover, when we sweat in the wintertime, that moisture can stay trapped under layers of clothing, causing odor-causing bacteria to flourish. Luckily, we can say goodbye to sweat stains, odor, and the hassle of reapplying deodorant with the Secret Clinical Hyaluronic Acid Antiperspirant. Featuring hyaluronic acid and pH-balancing minerals that hydrate and soothe the delicate and dry skin on our underarms, it’s clinically proven to provide 100 hours of protection against three types of sweat: stress, heat and activity.
The Secret Clinical Hyaluronic Acid Antiperspirant offers three times the sweat protection versus the wetness protection required of an ordinary antiperspirant.
It’s available online and at mass retailers, with prices starting at $13.99
