3. StressWhile experts don’t know exactly why, stress is a common psoriasis trigger. Research suggests that psychological stress plays a regulatory role in the immune system, increasing inflammation in the body and affecting the skin barrier.[7]A stressful trigger could come in the form of a move, a breakup, or the loss of a job.

The reason? Estrogen affects neurotransmitters in the brain that impact memory, mood, and sleep, so fluctuating levels can result in cognitive changes. Hormonal shifts may also alter how brain cells are produced and connect with other cells and may lower the brain’s main fuel source, glucose.

Sleep problemsSpeaking of sleep: About half of perimenopausal women say they struggle…

The day the police were called to my house to take my sister and me away, our family of four sat down to dinner as usual, 6 p.m. on the dot. That morning, as I ate a bowl of Life cereal (it was the 1970s after all), I watched my 40-year-old mom pull out the Crock-Pot, tie an apron around her slim waist, and get to work on her red sauce. Mom’s sauce always started the same way: browning the beef. As it crackled and popped, she used a worn-out wooden spoon to break up the meat, push it around…

Chefs agree Kirkland almond butter offers top quality at a budget-friendly price.Look for almond butter with just almonds—no sugar or added oils for best flavor.Freshly ground almond butter tastes best, but Kirkland is the top packaged choice. Whenever I’m grocery shopping and comparing two items, I hear my grandmother’s voice in my head: “The generic is the same,” she would say. “Get the one that costs less!” And while in so many instances I agree, I have noticed that sometimes the generic doesn’t come close to some big brands (looking at you, store-brand mayo). When it comes to almond butter, though,…
