Spiced, Curried Nuts Recipe + Foods To Keep Skin Moisturized

The foods that will keep your skin plump this fall and winter!

Happy Friday! This week, we gave you some ideas for vegetable-forward dishes you can serve at your holiday gatherings, including a bunch of recipes, from Roasted Squash and Apple Soup with Cilantro Walnut Pesto to an Autumn Ingredient Salad (free for all) perfect for Thanksgiving. Plus, Diana gave us a rundown on how she approaches Thanksgiving as a vegetarian. You can see it all in Monday’s post.

On Wednesday, we took a deep dive into Alpha-gal Syndrome and what we think of the tick that causes a meat allergy. Diana also shared her insights into gut microbiome health post-c-section - read it over in the Nourished Mama Collective.

Today, we are taking a look at the foods that can help keep your skin supple and hydrated. As we enter the dryer, cooler months, moisture can be stripped away from your skin, weakening its barrier. Luckily, Food Is Medicine - try adding the foods below to your diet to help!

Plus our Weekly Picks, and a recipe perfect for holiday entertaining: Curried Spiced Nuts. Enjoy!

Every Friday, we share a quick roundup of products we actually use and love - whether in the kitchen, at the table, or while shopping. These are the tools and staples that make cooking, serving, and clean-up easier and more enjoyable.

Potato Masher. This is great for making mashed potatoes. And when it comes to mashed potatoes, I think more garlic the better! A neighbor made smoked garlic for us, and it added so much flavor to our mashed potatoes. - Diana

Kin Euphorics Matchatini Matcha Mocktail. I made this matcha mocktail in collaboration with Kin Euphorics, and it’s perfect for this time of year. It’s creamy, rich, and has a great umami taste thanks to the matcha. Now through the end of the year, you can save 15% off with code: drweilxkin - Dr. Weil

Dish Towels. A good dish towel does more than dry dishes - I try to keep one slung over my shoulder while I cook, so I’m not always wiping my hands on my pants (oops!). These are soft, absorbent, and hold up well. They make great gifts, too! - Diana

Food as Medicine: 5 Foods To Help Keep Skin Moisturized This Fall and Winter

In colder weather, indoor heating, low humidity, and cold winds can strip moisture from your skin, weakening its barrier. Eating hydrating, nutrient-dense foods helps replenish vital oils, water content, antioxidants, and vitamins that protect skin from dryness, flakiness, and irritation. For example: healthy fats help strengthen the skin’s lipid barrier, water-rich fruits & veggies supply internal hydration and antioxidants, and vitamins A, C, E, and omega-3s support cell renewal, collagen production, and barrier repair.
