Horta Vrasta (Greek Boiled Greens)
Ingredients
1 large bunch of dark leafy greens (dandelion, chard, kale, spinach, or a mix)
1–2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
Juice of 1 lemon (or more to taste)
Sea salt
Optional add-ons: sliced garlic, a splash of vinegar, or crumbled feta on the side.

Method
Wash greens thoroughly to remove grit. Trim any tough stems.
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
Add greens and cook for 5–7 minutes, until tender but still vibrant green.
Drain well and place on a serving dish.
Drizzle generously with olive oil and squeeze over fresh lemon juice.
Season with sea salt, toss lightly, and serve warm or at room temperature.

✨ Tip: Greeks often serve this with grilled fish or bread — but it’s also perfect as a nutrient-dense side dish or even a light main with beans.
Depending on the greens you choose, keep the water you've used for boiling and drink as a tea.

Think of Horta Vrasta (boiled wild greens) as nature’s multivitamin. 🌱 Dark leafy greens are loaded with iron for energy, calcium and vitamin K for strong bones, folate for cellular repair, and magnesium to calm the nervous system. Add in antioxidants that fight inflammation + fiber that feeds your gut — and you’ve got one of the most powerful foods for longevity on your plate.

✨ Does castor oil really make your hair grow? ✨
In our latest BEAUTY TALK, Dr. Lamees Hamdan sat down with celebrity brow artist & beauty expert Suman Jalaf to dive into this age-old beauty hack.

THE SCIENCE:
It’s rich in ricinoleic acid, which increases blood circulation to the scalp, nourishing hair follicles.

Its antimicrobial properties keep the scalp healthy, reducing dandruff or buildup that can block growth.

The oil is also packed with omega-6 fatty acids and vitamin E, which strengthen strands and reduce breakage, making hair appear fuller over time.

𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗰𝗵? 🌱 𝗣𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲. You need consistent use (2–3 times a week for at least 3–6 months) to notice real results. It’s more about nourishing and protecting hair so it grows stronger and healthier, rather than magically sprouting new strands overnight.

Not every trending foundation works for every skin type — especially as skin begins to age. What looks flawless on a 20-year-old TikTok tutorial can end up settling into lines or clinging to texture. Mature skin calls for smarter choices: lightweight formulas, hydration, and finishes that enhance rather than mask.

𝘏𝘦𝘢𝘷𝘺 𝘮𝘢𝘵𝘵𝘦 𝘧𝘰𝘳𝘮𝘶𝘭𝘢𝘴: These can cling to texture, fine lines, and dry patches, making skin look older.

𝘎𝘭𝘪𝘵𝘵𝘦𝘳𝘺 “𝘨𝘭𝘰𝘸” 𝘱𝘳𝘰𝘥𝘶𝘤𝘵𝘴: Shimmer particles sit on top of skin and highlight uneven texture.

Look for foundations with skincare benefits (hyaluronic acid, peptides, vitamin C). A hydrating primer underneath makes a huge difference.
Light-to-Medium Coverage
Sheer or buildable coverage evens out tone without masking skin — think “skin tint” or “serum foundation.”
𝘕𝘢𝘵𝘶𝘳𝘢𝘭 𝘍𝘪𝘯𝘪𝘴𝘩
Satin or soft radiant finishes mimic healthy skin without looking greasy or overly matte.
𝘍𝘭𝘦𝘹𝘪𝘣𝘭𝘦 𝘍𝘰𝘳𝘮𝘶𝘭𝘢𝘴
Foundations with stretch (serum-like, self-setting) move with the skin rather than cracking into fine lines.

"Did you know your rice might be carrying an unwanted guest — arsenic?"

Rice naturally absorbs more arsenic from soil and water than most crops, especially when grown in flooded fields. Chronic arsenic exposure, even in small amounts, has been linked to skin changes, reduced immunity, and long-term health risks. But here’s the good news: with the right cooking method, you can dramatically reduce it.

The parboil-and-drain method — tested in food safety studies — can cut arsenic levels by up to 50–80%:
1️⃣ Rinse thoroughly under running water until clear.
2️⃣ Parboil in a large pot of boiling water (6 parts water to 1 part rice) for 5-6 minutes.
3️⃣ Drain the water completely — this is where much of the arsenic goes.
4️⃣ Cook with fresh water until done.

Why it works: arsenic is water-soluble, so the first boil draws it out before the grains absorb too much water. Discarding that water is the key step.

Bonus: Choosing basmati or jasmine rice from India, Pakistan, or Thailand can lower your exposure even further.
Small kitchen habits like this can make a big difference to your health — especially if rice is a regular on your plate.
