I’ve got some really fun shares for you this week. High level:
- Should you take a multivitamin? Let’s talk about it.
- Here’s a hack to get rid of hiccups. (I’ll definitely be trying it!)
- Want to support longevity? Here’s a habit you might want to pick up.
- People who did THIS are aging slower. 🤔
Let’s get into it.
OneSkin’s new Limited Edition Holiday Sets are the kind of gifts people actually use and feel the difference from.
As I’ve entered my forties, I’ve noticed my skin needs something different: more hydration, more elasticity, and better support for fine lines. I’m not someone who loves complicated routines, but I do care about keeping my skin healthy as I age. That’s why OneSkin has become a core part of my daily regimen.
At the heart of everything they make is the patented OS-01 peptide, the first ingredient proven to target senescent cells, the root cause of wrinkles, crepiness, and loss of firmness.
OneSkin just released their Limited Edition Holiday Sets, and they’re some of the most impressive gifts of the season. A standout is the Nightly Rewind Gift Set, featuring:
- Their bestselling OS-01 FACE moisturizer
The new peptide-powered LIP Mask - A cooling gua sha tool
Each component is designed to work together as your body enters its natural nightly repair mode, helping renew your skin at the cellular level for a smoother, stronger, more resilient complexion.
Number 1: Is Your Multivitamin Doing Anything?
If you’re a long-term user of—or have ever considered taking—multivitamins, you might have wondered, “Is this actually doing anything?”
While it is true that we do need more research, there is already pretty strong evidence to show why a multivitamin is a long-term insurance policy most of us should invest in. I love this breakdown from Dr. William Wallace about what the studies say when it comes to taking a daily multivitamin.
Number 2: How to Stop Hiccups
Hiccups are annoying! Here’s a way to stop them from Andrew Huberman.
I’ve been doing a version of this for years myself and it works like 70% of the time. Worth a shot!
Number 3: Trying to Improve Your Health? Start Reading.
This one is for all the book lovers!
A big study of over 3,600 older adults tracked reading habits for 12 years and found something striking: people who read books lived longer than those who didn’t read books or who only read newspapers or magazines. Even light book‑reading (about half an hour a day) was enough to lower the risk of death over the study period.
What’s going on? The researchers suggest that it’s not just any reading—book reading seems to engage deep thinking, imagination, empathy, and mental focus in a way that newspapers and magazines don’t. This kind of immersive reading may help keep your brain sharper, calm stress, and support emotional health, which all adds up over time.
What’s even cooler: across genders, education levels, and health statuses, the benefits held up. So whether you’re a retiree, a busy parent, or somewhere in between, adding books to your life could be super beneficial.
Number 4: Here’s a Strong Case for Learning a New Language.
This is another fun share: a win for bilingual folks and evidence to push you to learn that new language if you’ve been thinking about it.
A new large-scale study of over 86,000 people across Europe found that people who speak more than one language show signs of slower biological aging compared with monolinguals. The researchers used a “biobehavioral aging clock,” a tool that estimates how fast your body is aging based on things like health markers, sleep, activity, cognition, and more.
Here’s the surprise: even after accounting for variables like education, social background, lifestyle, and physical health, the multilingual folks still tended to “look younger” on a cellular/ functional level. In other words, juggling more than one language seems to train parts of your brain and behavior in ways that translate to broader, systemic resilience as you age.
This could be a hobby that’s not only fun but could also support healthy aging! Who’s going to learn a new language in 2026!?
See you next week for more shares.
Here’s to your health,
