4 Lifestyle Tips to Healthier, Shinier, Fuller Hair
Have you ever met someone with Cindy Crawford in the 90s hair--shiny, full, and healthy--and wondered, “what shampoo is she using?” Turns out she doesn’t use anything special per se, but she mentions that she drinks a lot of water daily, eats nutrient-dense food, and meditates. How does that equate to such healthy hair?
Fact or Fiction: Vegans Don’t Get Enough Iron
Iron deficiency is one of the most common nutrient deficiencies in the United States, despite having easy access to food. When you’re iron deficient, you can feel tired, weak, pale and cold. That’s because iron is so critical to our overall health as it’s involved in making red blood cells and in carrying oxygen throughout the body. It’s also an essential nutrient to our diet as iron is something our body doesn’t produce by itself—we have to obtain it from food.
Eat Healthier & Easier with Spiralized Veggies
One of our favorite ways to incorporate more vegetables into our diets is by spiralizing them! Vegetables can get a little tiresome to chop, especially when you’re short on time and we’re all about simplifying self-care with food at Just Add Water™! Bonus, you can easily recreate your favorite noodle recipe like spaghetti and meatballs or Vietnamese bún chay (noodle salad) by replacing noodles with spiralized zucchini or carrots.
Healthy Homemade Pumpkin Spice Latte
Pumpkin is one of our favorite gourds! Not only does it remind us that Fall and Halloween are just around the corner, but it’s also a nutrient-dense food that’s rich in vitamins, fibers, antioxidants, and minerals.
The Benefits of Digestive Enzymes
You’ve probably heard that enzymes were good for you and want to incorporate them into your wellness routine. After all, enzymes are in skin care products, sold as digestive supplements, and found in our favorite fruits. But what exactly are enzymes and what do they do?
Season Food With Fresh Herbs from Your Kitchen Herb Garden
One of the biggest misconceptions about nutritious food is that for it to be healthy, it must be bland. That could not be further from the truth!
Instead of depending on salt to season food, Just Add Water™ founder, Serena Poon, recommends reaching for fresh herbs. Not only can herbs enhance the flavor and fragrance of your favorite dish, but they also contain many nutritional and medicinal benefits.
Aquatic Superfoods: Spirulina and Chlorella
What makes spirulina and chlorella superfoods? They are loaded with essential nutrients like protein, amino acids, vitamins, and antioxidants, providing them with tons of nutritional and even medicinal benefits.
The 411 on Wheatgrass and Barley Grass
Both wheatgrass and barley grass are excellent sources of vitamins, minerals, essential amino acids, antioxidants, and chlorophyll. As we mentioned a few weeks ago, chlorophyll is a phytochemical that gives many foods their superfood status.
Are Succulents Edible?
Coming from a hot, dry climate like Southern California, we love succulents here at Just Add Water™. Because succulents store water in their leaves, giving them that thick, fleshy and sometimes waxy look, they’re super easy to maintain. They add beautiful texture and color to any space, and they make nifty gifts.
Simplify Your Life - Adaptogenics
One of the biggest buzzwords in health and wellness is adaptogens. Across Los Angeles, we’re seeing wellness shops sell adaptogenic elixirs and tonic shots. Wellness experts, celebrities and even our favorite influencers point to incorporating adaptogens into their daily routine as their key to living well and vibing at a higher energy. But what exactly are adaptogens?

We absolutely love açaí bowls at Just Add Water™! Our founder, Chef Serena Poon, often reminds people to eat the rainbow, and this Brazilian superfruit makes it so easy! The blue-purple açaí topped with red strawberries, green kiwis, and delicious blueberries visually whets your appetite!
The 411 on Probiotics and Prebiotics
We’re really excited that the benefits and importance of probiotics and prebiotics are more and more recognized and celebrated. The greatest thing about probiotics and prebiotics? You’ve probably been enjoying them for ages without realizing it! Some of our favorite pickled and fermented foods are loaded with these beneficial bacteria, and some of our favorite fiber-rich vegetables are prebiotics.
