Innholdsfortegnelse for Holiday 2024 i Allrecipes

FROM THE EDITOR I’M RAMPING UP for the holiday season—while simultaneously burrowing down during the weather that inevitably comes with it. The season comes with a bit of dichotomy for me: I want to go to parties and I want to live on the couch. I want to keep gifting simple (an Allrecipes subscription, perhaps) and I want to go all out. I want to try new recipes and I want to stick to the hits. Luckily—at least on the recipe front—I think there’s space for both. It’s the season of abundance, after all. No matter how you celebrate, I hope Allrecipes can serve as an inspiration for your holiday cooking. merry everything to you and yours!

The United States Surgeon General recently declared loneliness an epidemic in America. “In recent years, about one in two American adults reported experiencing loneliness,” says Surgeon General Vivek H. Murthy, MD, MBA, in his 2023 report Our Epidemic of Loneliness and Isolation. “And that was before the COVID-19 pandemic cut off so many of us from friends, loved ones, and support systems, exacerbating loneliness and isolation.” Loneliness is more than an emotion; it is a serious health risk to both individuals and society as a whole. Our need to be social is part of our neurobiology. When our social needs are not met over time, our very biology is adversely affected, greatly increasing our risk of disease. Studies show that people who have strong social connections live longer and are…

Nuts have nutrients that can curb stress. For example, 2 tablespoons of almonds contains almost 20 percent of an adult’s daily magnesium needs. Getting enough magnesium may help ease anxiety and depression: The mineral regulates the neurotransmitters that tell our brains to be anxious or stressed. More research is needed, but it’s theorized these messengers get stuck in the “on” position and getting enough magnesium can help turn them off. Almonds also provide zinc, which helps regulate your body’s stress response. Lower zinc levels in the body are associated with higher levels of the stress hormone cortisol. For a boost of zinc and magnesium, add almond butter to your morning or post-workout smoothie. Omega-3 fats also give you an edge in managing stress, and walnuts are a great source. A…
