The Future Looks Bright
I
f the past is any indication of how bright the future is for country
crooner Blake Shelton, his fans have a lot to look forward to. Named
PEOPLE Magazine’s Sexiest Man Alive in 2017, Shelton is at the top
of his game and he has the accolades to prove it.
LIVING WELL Magazine was lucky enough to catch up with the sing-
er, songwriter, and television personality for this issue to get the latest
scoop on his new album, Texoma Shore and to find out what else he
has in store for 2018. Hint: It includes staying in shape and nurturing
his romance with fellow superstar Gwen Stefani. Indeed, while Shelton
and Stefani are Hollywood’s trendiest of-the-moment couple, they make
living well a priority. As such, they are each other’s biggest health and
fitness supporters and take daily steps to stay active and healthy.
On the subject of health and trends, matcha, moringa, and maca are
gaining popularity because of their potent nutritional powers. Accord-
ing to Dr. Julie Alvira, they offer a host of bodily benefits including
increased concentration and prolonged energy, along with helping
increase virility and libido. And, who doesn’t want that? Learn more
about these superfood powders inside this issue.
Of course, even if you’re taking your daily dose of matcha, it’s a good
idea to regularly see a doctor. This is doubly important for woman.
Scheduling an annual women’s health check-up with an OB/GYN is
an excellent way to monitor what’s going on as your body ages and to
ensure that you’re being treated properly for any female conditions that
may arise. With that in mind, check out Dr. Kristen Carmichael’s article,
which takes a look at 18 reasons why it’s vital for women to see an OB/
GYN on a regular basis.
That’s not all. Inside, you’ll also find a wealth of educational articles on
