This month CR zeros in on supplements that may help slow the aging process. Despite eating well and exercising, the natural aging process can make it more difficult for our bodies to absorb the nutrients we need to stay healthy. The article offers reviews of which may help and which “probably won’t” plus information about which don’t mix with other medications. CR highlights “3 supplements to skip.” The doctor they interviewed about these supplements suggests that it would be better to focus on “… managing diabetes and other diseases, and prioritizing a nutritious diet, regular exercise, and sleep.”
Read “These Are the Appliances That Last” for a great review of dishwashers, refrigerators, ranges, washing machines, and dryers that are “highly reliable and shine in CR performance tests.” Noting that new appliances are often only made to last 10-15 years, CR has a section in this article to help determine whether to repair or replace older appliances. This article is short and sweet, offering a few choices for each appliance type.
“Yogurt” is the title of an interesting article on this wonderful food. Did you know that there are many yogurts that don’t contain any dairy? Here you’ll find out which yogurts “are the healthiest – and taste great too.” Read “When Yogurt Goes Wrong” for information about products that contain less healthy sugars, sugar substitutes, gums and thickeners - ingredients you might want to avoid. The article includes a nice ratings and review list to determine which brands to try.
