Dear Vital Juice Daily:

I travel a lot and my hands always suffer on the flight. They’re so dry, when I land they look 10 years older!

Any suggestions?

Have we got just the thing for you! In case you haven’t heard us talk about this already, Weleda Skin Food is hands down (pun intended) our favorite hand cream out there! First, it’s from Weleda—a brand we love and trust because their products are free of synthetic preservatives, fragrances, colorants and raw materials derived from mineral oils. Second, it’s intensely hydrating (made of pure Lanolin) and doesn’t irritate our skin.

Dear Vital Juice Daily,

I love eggs, but how many can I safely eat in a week without raising my cholesterol??

-In Eggony

Dear In Eggony,

We got eggxactly what you need from Heather Bauer, RD, founder of Nu-train.

Crack this: A great source of protein (6 grams), but high in cholesterol with 213 mg per yolk (daily recommended total = 300 mg), the average egg contains 75 calories and 5 grams of fat. Egg white only: 16-20 calories. ¼ cup of Eggbeaters: 30 calories.

Different yolks: Forgoing yolks skips fat, but leaves you less satisfied. Eggbeaters (made of whites and added vitamins and minerals), while not as natural, are a cholesterol- and fat-free option.

Here’s the first one, which was originally published on August 15, 2007.

Dear Vital Juice Daily,

I would love it if you would do some research on hemp - as a fiber, protein and omega source. Can you tell me more?

- Marcia R.

Dear Marcia,

We did a little digging and here’s what we found about hemp:

One nutritious seed! Shelled hempseed is packed with 33% pure digestible protein (one of the highest levels from a plant source) and is rich in iron and vitamin E, as well as omega-3 and omega-6 essential fatty acids. Hemp also contains 3x the Vitamin E than flax. And unlike soy, hemp is not genetically modified so it’s free of the anti-nutritional qualities commonly found in soy.
