September 27, 2026 PRESENTED BY Embrace wellness through the rhythm of the destination Good morning! I’ve got a lot of good stuff to share today, let’s dive in: New research found 5 nutrients linked to a lower risk of colorectal cancer (eat up!) Learn how to use diet to cut heart disease risk by 20% A clear explanation on how protein impacts metabolism 4 reasons to make your walk a little longer today Read through, then be sure to share this newsletter with your friend who is always telling you about the latest nutrition research—maybe they’ll learn something from you this time around! —Ailsa Cowell, M.S., health editor 5 vitamins linked to lower colon cancer risk I think it’s safe to say we all wish we knew the answer to completely avoiding cancer, full stop. While we’re sadly a ways off from that, we do know certain habits can have a positive impact on cancer risk and how resilient our bodies are. New research found 5 nutrients may play a meaningful role:¹ Compared with people who consumed lower amounts, those who consumed more vitamins A, B6, D, and E through diet were less likely to develop colorectal cancer. People who consumed more of these vitamins also tended to eat more whole grains, fruits, and vegetables, exercise more, and have higher overall diet-quality. Those habits could have (and I would say likely) contributed to the positive results as well. Unfortunately, there are no guarantees of avoiding cancer, but we can learn from research like this and try to give our bodies the right inputs for staying strong. To learn which foods offer each of these protective nutrients, read more here. +Eat your medicine This diet cuts heart disease risk 20% Why the Mediterranean diet gets so much hype A diet built for cognitive function Share this email with the woman in your life who is always blaming everything on aging, she could learn a lot! PRESENTED BY A wellness-focused approach to an all-inclusive At Paradisus Cancun, I found a different way to think about all-inclusive travel. Wellness isn’t something you squeeze into your itinerary mid-trip; it’s woven into the entire experience. Instead of letting my usual routines disappear in the name of fun, I could build my days around the things that make me feel good: moving my body, eating well, getting outside, and actually slowing down. The result? A vacation that feels less like escaping my routine—and more like resetting it. My top recommendations at Paradisus Cancun: Post-plane relaxation at YHI Spa’s water ritual, sauna, and steam experiences Stretching, sweating, & boosting my mobility in a red light yoga class A nutritious lunch by the Caribbean Sea at the Mediterranean restaurant, Santé The Sunset Cruise on Nichupté Lagoon to experience nature beyond the resort A Full Moon Sound Bath and Mediation alongside the crashing waves of the coast I came home feeling refreshed, restored, and inspired to bring a little more of that balance home with me from Paradisus Cancun. Prioritizing well-being doesn’t mean putting your vacation on pause—it means making the most of it. Book your stay All your protein questions, explained Image by Cameron Whitman / Stocksy How does protein impact blood sugar? Which type of protein powder is best? Does protein impact body composition & metabolic health? What are some examples of high-protein meals? Do you really need protein to support strength training? If you do one thing…walk a little longer Walking does a lot for us, and it turns out it takes less than you probably thought to support a healthy brain while you age: Those who got at least 13 continuous minutes of moderate-to-vigorous walking had a 72% lower risk of dementia 7.5 years later than those who got none.² 36 minutes of that level of walking led to around 50% less risk of depression and anxiety. A possible reason could be that longer bouts of moderate-to-vigorous activity were associated with larger hippocampal volume, and the hippocampus is heavily involved in learning and memory. +Walk it off More reasons why longer walks beat short ones 4 ways to make your walk more of an actual workout A walking trick to feel stronger & more energized all day Wellness that goes beyond the spa At Paradisus Cancun, wellness goes beyond the spa—it’s woven into every part of the guest experience. From movement and recovery to nourishing cuisine, mindfulness, nature, and cultural connection, every element is designed to help you feel energized, restored, or simply more present. It’s a new approach to all-inclusive travel, where the destination itself becomes part of your wellbeing. Explore the resort Forwarded this email? CLICK HERE to subscribe for free!
