WEBE Wellness: The Diet That Adds A Decade To Your Lifespan
If you wanted to live a little longer, and all it took was changing your diet, would you do it? How about if it was an extra decade?
A new study shows switching to a healthier, more plant-based diet could add ten years to your life for women, and 13 years for men.
A lot of red meat and processed food is what needs to go – switching to an optimized diet is key, one that’s focused on fruits, veggies, nuts, and whole grains.
The earlier you change your lifestyle, the better. So that extra decade applies for those who make changes in their 20s. But even if you start later in life, it can still have a huge benefit.
By age 60, it’ll improve lifespan for women by 8 years, and 9 for men.
Eating right – it’s the key to a long – and longer – life.

WEBE Wellness: The Perfect Nap Length
Well we moved the clocks back on Sunday, but maybe you’re still feeling the effects – a nap might help, as long as you don’t sleep too long.
According to a specialist in behavorial sleep medicine, the perfect nap is 20 to 30 minutes – any longer, and you start to get into deep sleep, and that can actually lead to waking up feeling even more groggy.
That 20 to 30 minute nap gives you what you need – a boost in energy, it helps you focus, and even will improve your mood.
The trick is to set an alarm for 30 minutes – then you’ve got the 10 minutes to fall asleep, and you’ll be asleep for the 20 that you need. But don’t do it late in the day – you don’t want to do it less than 8 hours before your normal bedtime, otherwise you’ll mess with your regular sleep schedule.

WEBE Wellness: The *One* Veggie You Need To Be Eating
You heard it from mom growing up – make sure you eat your vegetables! But if you don’t like to eat your veggies, and will only put one on your plate, make sure it’s a cruciferous vegetable!
What are those? Well broccoli, cabbage, and Brussels sprouts are a few – and they’re loaded with nutrients! You’ll get plenty of vitamins – A, C, E and K – which help with hair and skin and nails, and even promote anti-aging effects!
They’re also loaded with fiber but are hard to digest if you eat them raw, so cook them and you’ll help boost your body’s natural ability to eliminate toxins. Plus, those cruciferous vegetables have also been linked with neutralizing cancer cells.
So, while we start to head into the holiday season, make sure you still load some veggies on your plate!

WEBE Wellness: The Halloween Candy Dentists Say To Avoid
Just over a week to go until the big day and you already know you’re going to be raiding your kid’s Halloween candy and sneaking a few pieces – but here’s what dentists say to avoid, what candy causes the most havoc on our teeth:
#1 is gummies – because they take so long to chew, pieces get lodged in between your teeth.
Caramel candies, because they’re so sticky and take a long time to dissolve are the hardest to brush away at the end of the night.
Starburst are delicious, but because they’re tacky they can pull on fillings and crowns.
Because Lollipops are eaten slowly, the sugar is in contact with your teeth for a longer period.
And sour powder candies are very acidic, which can damage tooth enamel.
But there’s good news – dentists say the there are two treats that aren’t too bad – plain old chocolate dissolves quickly and can be brushed away easily, and caramel apples – the apples help clean the surfaces of your teeth.
