We are an exclusive healthcare resource that reviews healthcare providers (both doctors and dentists) in New York based on merit. Providers that meet a high level of merit-based criteria are awarded the title of NY Top Doctor or NY Top Dentist and can be featured online and in our magazine.
New York Doctors & Dentists are typically invited to complete an application or submit their CV in order to start the process. Once we receive the application and/or CV we gather additional information and perform an in-depth screening process based on merit. Some of the criteria includes having been in practice for a number of years, confirmation of licenses, credentials, education, board certification and positive patient reviews.
Our goal is to provide patients the utmost confidence in their search for a top doctor or dentist. Everyone wants to know more about the doctors and dentists they are considering. That’s where NY Top Docs comes in.
“Patients essentially meet their healthcare providers in our magazine or on our site www.NYTopDocs.com before they even schedule their appointment,” says Cristina Mendez, Vice President of Operations.
Peruse the following pages to get better acquainted with some of our NY Top Docs and NY Top Dentists and feel free to browse our extensive collection of approved providers on page 48 of our directory or online at www.NYTopDocs.com.

When you step into Dr. Adam Silevitch’s world, you’ll notice something immediately: kids aren’t tiptoeing into their appointments, they’re settling in like they’ve been here before.
As a partner at Pediatric Dentists NYC and a Diplomate of the American Board of Pediatric Dentistry, Dr. Silevitch has built a practice where comfort is the entire foundation.
His philosophy is simple: when children feel safe, everything else follows. That’s why his practice is designed to feel warm and familiar, not at all like the clinical spaces many adults remember from childhood. “When patients walk into our practice, they are met with a warm, positive energy that feels more like home than a typical doctor’s office,” he says. And families feel that difference right away.
Dr. Silevitch is known for meeting kids exactly where they are. If a child is nervous, he takes the extra time to understand the hesitation and translate intimidating procedures into something they can grasp. It’s not theatrics; it’s trust-building. Over time, those experiences teach children that dental visits don’t have to be overwhelming, they can actually be empowering. That confidence carries forward, shaping how they approach dental care for life.
Driven by a passion for global healthcare equality, Dr. Silevitch regularly joins outreach missions to the Dominican Republic, Jamaica, Cape Verde, and Costa Rica, providing essential care to children and families who otherwise wouldn’t have access. “It fills my cup to give back,” he says, and the sincerity in that statement mirrors how he shows up everywhere he goes. Clinical expertise, compassion, and a deep commitment to trust are qualities that define Dr. Silevitch’s work. And together, they’re quietly transforming what families expect from pediatric dentistry,

5 PERFECT SNACKS FOR LIFE ON THE GO
Written By: Melissa Russell
To keep up with our fast-paced world, we need snacks that keep our energy levels up during the day. The best way to remain energized all day long is to eat one to two balanced snacks in between meals that do not include refined carbohydrates and sugars. Balanced snacks include protein, fat, and carbohydrates, support your metabolism, and regulate blood sugar so you do not experience the classic mid-morning or afternoon energy slump. Next time you reach for another cup of coffee or simple carbs, try one of these balanced, energy-promoting snacks instead.
Apple with Nut Butter
An easy and portable snack that does not require refrigeration, an apple and the nut butter of your choice is a great, balanced snack. A complex carbohydrate, the sugar in the apple provides energy for that energy slump while the fiber in the apple slows down sugar absorption so your blood sugar does not spike and crash. Nut butter provides a good balance of plant-based
protein and fat. It also provides vitamins and minerals like zinc, vitamin E, and B vitamins. Buy organic apples and nut butter with no added sugar, salt, or oil to ensure the highest quality snack possible.
Greek yogurt & berries
Full-fat Greek yogurt mixed with berries provides an optimal combi nation of protein, fat, and carbs and can easily be brought to work or eaten on the go. High-quality Greek yogurt provides both fat, carbs, and protein while also including gut-nourishing probiotics and calcium for bone health. Some single servings of Greek yogurt pack an impressive 20 grams of protein. Adding your favorite berries on top provides additional carbohydrates, fiber, and antioxidants. Choose organic berries when possible to avoid excess pesticide exposure. For an allergy-reducing boost, drizzle the combination with local honey which has been suggested to help reduce seasonal allergies.
Boiled eggs & tropical fruit
A simple but nourishing combination, boiled eggs and tropical fruit provide a balanced snack packed with healthy vitamins and min erals. Boiled eggs not only include an excellent combination of protein (6 grams per egg) and fat, but they are also natu rally rich in several essential vitamins – vitamin B12, vitamin D, folate, and biotin to name a few. Sprinkle your boiled eggs with unrefined sea salt for a boost of flavor and potassium. Tropical fruits like pineapple, papaya, banana, and mango provide fiber and energy-boosting natural sugar. These fruits are also a great source of vitamin C, potassium, antioxidants, and electrolytes. Vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants increase as fruit ripens, so make sure you choose ripe tropical fruit for your snacks.
Beef jerky & carrot sticks
Bring a pack of high-quality beef jerky and a bag of carrot sticks with you on the go for an energy-boosting, satiat ing snack. Although packed with protein, not all beef jerky is created equally. To choose a high-quality beef jerky, look for minimal added sugar,
no nitrates or nitrates added, and reasonable sodium levels. The fewer ingredients the better. Beef is a great source of iron and vitamins B6 and B12, which can reduce fatigue and tiredness – making it a perfect snack to avoid the mid-morning or post-lunch energy drop. Eat your jerky with a side of carrot sticks to get a healthy dose of fiber, vitamin A, vitamin K, and calcium. Choose organic jerky and carrots when possible.
Turkey roll-ups & popcorn
Although this snack requires a little more prep work, it is still an easy and healthy combination. To make the rollups, roll up protein-packed, high-quali ty deli turkey with bell pepper slices, quality cheese, hum mus, or avocado. Choose the toppings that appeal to you or that you have on hand. Pair the roll-ups with a minimal ingredient, air-popped popcorn. Avoid traditional microwave popcorn bags as they can be full of in flammatory oils and synthetic ingredi ents. A whole grain, popcorn is high in fiber and has a low glycemic index – meaning it should not cause a spike and then slump in blood sugar and energy. The beneficial carbohydrates in popcorn are paired with antioxidants and small amounts of vitamins and minerals like folate and niacin, making it a nutritious and delicious snack.
6 WAYS TO PROVE TO YOUR KIDS:
THE DENTIST ISN’T NEARLY AS SCARY AS THE MONSTER LIVING UNDER THEIR BED
WRITTEN BY: JESSICA DIETRICH
The dentist’s office is a very scary place, yes. That is, of course, if you’re led to believe it. As reported by Colgate. com, “It has been estimated that 9% to 15% of Americans avoid seeing the dentist because of anxiety and fear. That’s about 30 million to 40 million people.
In a survey by the British Dental Health Foundation, 36% of those who didn’t see a dentist regularly said that fear is the main reason.” Parents who are afraid of visiting their dentist are most likely passing on that fear to their children. This keeps them from getting important routine dental checkups to promote healthy teeth and good oral health habits. Parents usually have a tough time getting their children out of the door and into a dentist’s office; they find it takes a lot of consoling, bribing, and assuring. While the good intention is certainly there, parents often set their children up for a fearful visit to the dentists.
For those looking to prepare their children for a less traumatic experience, there are plenty of ways to lower levels of anxiety and possibly make the dentist’s office a place for your child to look forward to.
There are plenty of things children are afraid of; whether it’s the monster under their bed, a bad report card, or the dark. The dentist shouldn’t be one of those fears.
Here are six steps to ensure an easy trip to the dentist for you and your child.
STEP ONE: FIND A GOOD MATCH
The first step is finding the right pediatric dentist to fit your child’s personality. Looking up your child’s potential dentist online shouldn’t be difficult and finding a couple of insightful patient testimonials shouldn’t be, either. Read a handful of reviews and you should get a good look at the dentist’s bedside manner before meeting them. If the majority of reviews claim that the dentist is very straightforward and less than sympathetic towards a fussy patient, you may find that that’s the best personality to work with your child. Perhaps a dentist’s reviews show him or her to be the opposite, warm and gentle with compassion towards your child’s every fear. Either way, knowing a little bit more about the dentist before your child meets them is certainly a great way to ease your own anxieties.
STEP TWO: PUT YOUR OWN ANXIETIES ASIDE
Oftentimes, parents’ own anxieties can be picked up by their children. It’s best for parents to limit details, but to answer any of their child’s questions they may have. These answers should be simple and honest. Should the questions be difficult to answer in a way that may not be scary for a child, it’s best to leave those for the dentist. Remember that dentists, especially pediatric dentists, are trained to explain things to children in an easy, non-threatening way. It’s also important to keep in mind that certain words like “hurt” and “pain” should be avoided in any conversation regarding the dentist visit.
STEP THREE: REMEMBER THE ULTIMATE GOAL
Look on the bright side. You’re taking your child to the dentist with the goal of ensuring that your child’s oral health is right where it should be, on track for a lifelong of a healthy smile. It’s vital to let your child know exactly that. You’re visiting the dentist because it is his or her job to ensure that things are just as they should be. As a parent, you’re doing the right thing by ensuring your child’s future oral health which is a major contributor to their overall health.
STEP FOUR: BE HONEST
It’s important to comfort and reassure your child, but the most important thing you can do is to be honest. Sometimes parents think that if they promise to their child that they won’t be receiving a shot, it’ll ease their anxieties and get them out the door. If the child should have one during their visit, they will feel tricked and the trust between child and parent will be compromised for future appointments. Should a child ask if they will be receiving a shot that day, the parent should respond honestly and reassure them that if they were to receive one that it would only feel like a pinch.
STEP FIVE: DON’T BRIBE YOUR CHILDREN
Another mistake that parents make is that they bribe their children with rewards in order to get them to agree to going to the dentist. For example, if a parent tells their child that if they behave at the dentist’s office that they’ll purchase them a toy. If the child has a moment caused by fear and
anxiety at the office, it’s an unrealistic expectation of the parent. This causes much frustration between parent and patient. It may be better for the parent to suggest that they do something fun after the appointment, not dependent on their child’s behavior. Another major mistake that many parents make is that they use the dentist to instill fear in their children. They may threaten to take them straight to the dentist’s office for a shot in order to frighten them into good behavior. This only associates dentist visits with negativity.
STEP SIX: TEACH YOUR CHILDREN THE IMPORTANCE OF VISITING A DENTIST
Never put going to the dentist on the table as an option. A dentist visit is a non-negotiable, and a child can’t talk their way out of it. Should this happen once, it could be a recurring conversation each time your child is due for a visit. It’s also important to show children that a dentist visit shouldn’t be missed or put off, so that their teeth can remain healthy and their smiles can stay happy.
The dentist’s office doesn’t have to be such a scary place, especially when all that is done there is for the benefit of one’s oral health, child or adult. The next time your child is up at night worrying about the “thing” under their bed, tell them it might be hiding under there because it probably missed a dentist appointment and it knows it shouldn’t have.
WINTER DOESN’T OWN YOUR MOOD
HOW TO BEAT THE BLUES
When the days shrink, the sky stays gray longer and your energy dips… you could chalk it up to “winter being winter,” but there’s better news: the winter slump doesn’t have to win. With a few strategic shifts, not a complete life overhaul, you can raise your baseline mood, guard your motivation, and arrive at spring with more than just a sigh of relief.
Light Up Your Morning
The lack of sunlight isn’t just poetic. Lower daylight hours influence your brain chemistry and internal rhythms in real ways. In milder forms it goes by “winter blues,” in more serious forms
Simple action: treat yourself to a morning stroll or sit by a bright window soon after waking. Even on a flat gray day, the daylight helps. For those who feel a consistent seasonal dip, a specialist light-box (under guidance) is another option. You might not be able to change the sun's schedule but you can change your schedule.
Move Your Body (Outside If Possible)
Winter invites stillness (fireplace, couch, repeat). But rising lines of research show that the act of movement—particularly in daylight—boosts mood, combats fatigue and even helps regu-
Toss in a habit: 20-30 minutes of walking, fresh air, maybe a winter-friendly outdoor activity. The goal: incremental, consistent, not heroic. Don’t wait until you feel “better.” The routine
Feed Your Mind & Body With Smart Rhythms
Here’s where we don’t talk diet fads: real food, regular sleep, steady routine. A nutrient-rich diet (hello veggies, whole grains, lean proteins) supports mood resilience. And because winter often messes with your internal clock (later nights, more naps, less structure), reinforcing a consistent wake/sleep time helps your brain and body stay aligned. Small wins: prioritize protein in the morning, keep caffeine earlier, dim the lights before bedtime. These build the foundation.
Stay Connected & Purposeful
Mood dips often come with withdrawal. The impulse is to hibernate; the solution isn’t huge social gambits, it’s meaningful connection. Research shows checking in daily, sharing highs/ lows, planning something you like, all help protect you emotionally through the darker months. Tip: pair a friend walk, plan a simple creative project, or commit to one small regular social ritual.
When It’s More Than The Blues
If your energy is consistently low, sleep is wildly off, appetite or weight shift drastically, or you’re losing interest in things you used to enjoy, these might be more than “just” winter blues.
In that case, talk with your provider. This piece is about lifestyle support; it’s not a substitute for professional care. Here’s what you do: tell them it’s seasonal, when it began, how it changes your life and they’ll guide you.
Pulling It All Together
The key is simple: light, movement, routine, connection. Align your habits to the calendar (the one with fewer daylight hours), not against it. Use the winter months to build momentum rather than wait them out. Your mood, your energy, your presence can stay steady.
Because at the end of the day, winter doesn’t get to dictate how you feel. You do. And with intentional choices, you’ll not only “get through” the season, you’ll own it.
TAME THE TENSION:
HOW TO KEEP STRESS FROM RUNNING YOUR BODY
written by: Sara Isabel Kaplan
Understanding Stress and Muscle Tension
When your body is stressed, your muscles naturally tense up. According to the American Psychological Association (APA), chronic stress keeps your muscles in a constant state of readiness. When these muscles remain rigid and tense for prolonged periods, it can trigger other reactions within the body and, in worst-case scenarios, promote stress-related disorders.
One common example is migraine headaches, which are often linked to chronic muscle tension. For individuals who experience these persistent pain conditions, research has shown that
stress-reducing activities can significantly decrease both the signs and symptoms of pain.
Another familiar stress reaction is panic attacks. While primarily mental, panic attacks create physical responses such as hyperventilating, chest pain, and a rapid heart rate. Furthermore, chronic stress over time can have long-term effects on the heart and blood vessels, causing issues like tachycardia (elevated heart rate), high blood pressure, and even increasing the risk of heart attacks and strokes.
Identifying and Managing Your Stress Triggers
Reading this may feel alarming but the good news is that stress doesn’t have to control your life. The first step is identifying your triggers. Once you know what causes stress, make a plan to either avoid these triggers or address them effectively when they occur.
To reduce stress overall, there are several practical approaches:
• Exercise regularly
• Prioritize sufficient sleep
• Seek support from friends, family, or professional counselors
Even taking small steps in these areas can dramatically improve your resilience to stress.
Why Stress Affects the Body
You might wonder why stress has such a powerful effect on your body. When stressed, your body enters “fight-or-flight” mode, releasing hormones like adrenaline and cortisol. These hormones are helpful in short bursts but can lead to negative physical reactions if they remain elevated over time.
Reducing stress doesn’t have to be complicated. Simple lifestyle changes can help your body regulate these hormones naturally.
Sleep: Your Natural Stress Regulator
A consistent sleep schedule is crucial for stress management. According to Banner Health, sleep helps regulate the hormones released during fight-or-flight, allowing your body to restore balance. During sleep, your body also heals more efficiently, improving your overall daily experience.
Aim for 7-9 hours of sleep per night to help naturally reduce stress and protect your body from the harmful effects of chronic tension.
Nutrition and Hydration: Fuel Your Stress Defense
Sleep alone isn’t enough, you also need proper nutrition and hydration. Mayo Clinic recommends drinking about eight glasses of water daily, though your needs may increase with exercise or environmental factors.
Eating a diet rich in vitamins, antioxidants, fruits, and vegetables can support your body in handling stress. Limit items like caffeine, which can elevate heart rate, increase anxiety, and interfere with sleep.
Exercise:
Your Natural Mood Booster
Exercise is another powerful tool. According to Harvard Health, physical activity triggers the release of endorphins, the brain’s natural “feel-good” chemicals. Exercise also helps regulate stress hormones, improves sleep quality, and reduces inflammation throughout the body.
For optimal benefits, aim for 150 minutes of moderate-intensity exercise per week, combined with good nutrition, consistent sleep, and support from friends, family, or a professional when needed.
The Big Picture: Creating a Less Stressful Life
By pairing healthy sleep habits, balanced nutrition, regular exercise, and supportive relationships, you can create a lifestyle that naturally reduces stress. Over time, these habits help protect your body from the harmful effects of chronic tension, leaving you feeling happier, healthier, and more resilient.
BRAINSTORMING : 5 COMMON NEUROLOGICAL
WRITTEN BY: JESSICA LUONG
DISORDERS
Quick! You have ten seconds: Can you name two neurological disorders? How about three? You can relax now; don’t give yourself a headache racking your brain for the answers. Much like an unexpected thunderstorm, we’re hitting you with five common neurological disorders that you or a loved one may have to weather through one day. “I have seen many storms in my life. Most storms have caught me by surprise, so I had to learn very quickly to look further and understand that I am not capable of controlling the weather, to exercise the art of patience and to respect the fury of nature,” said Paulo Coelho, lyricist and novelist.
ALZHEIMER’S DISEASE
Alzheimer’s is a chronic disease that typically starts slowly and gets worse over time, a progressive loss of neurologic functions. It is the most common form of dementia. Short-term memory loss is one of the first indicators of the disease, followed by mood swings, lack of self-care, and easily getting lost.
DID YOU KNOW?
• Alzheimer’s is the only cause of death that cannot be prevented, slowed or cured.
• It’s the seventh leading cause of death in the U.S, with almost two thirds of Americans with Alzheimer’s disease being women.
• One in three seniors dies with Alzheimer’s or another dementia.
• Only 45% of people with Alzheimer’s disease or their caregivers report being told of their diagnosis.
• More than 6 million Americans are living with Alzheimer’s, by 2050 this is projected to more than double.
FOUNDATION: Alzheimer’s Foundation of America • www.alzfdn.org
PARKINSON’S DISEASE
Parkinson’s disease is a progressive disorder of the nervous system that affects one’s movement. A common early symptom of the disease is an unsteady hand. It can also cause stiffness or slowness in movement. Someone with Parkinson’s may have little to no expression in their face. Speech can also become slurred and softened. The symptoms of Parkinson’s disease only get worse over time.
DID YOU KNOW?
• 1 million people in the US live with Parkingson’s disease.
• It is an estimated seven to ten million people worldwide who are living with the disease.
• 60,000 Americans are diagnosed with the disease and this figure doesn’t include undetected cases.
• The incidence of Parkinson’s increases with age, but an estimated 4% of people with Parkinson’s are diagnosed before the age of fifty.
• Men are 1 and a half times more likely to have Parkinson’s than women
FOUNDATION: Parkinson’s Foundation • www.parkinson.org
CEREBRAL PALSY
Cerebral Palsy (CP) is caused by any brain injury or abnormal development of the brain that occurs while a child’s brain is still developing – whether before, during, or just after birth. All people with CP have problems with movement and posture, and some also have a certain level of intellectual disability. Seizures, abnormal physical sensations or perceptions, and other medical disorders are common in individuals with Cerebral Palsy.
DID YOU KNOW?
• Cerebral Palsy is the most common motor disability in childhood.
• Globally, over seventeen million people have Cerebral Palsy
• Of all children with Cerebral Palsy, sixty percent of them are born at term.
• One in five hundred babies are diagnosed with Cerebral Palsy annually.
• One in two people with the disorder live in chronic pain
FOUNDATION:
Cerebral Palsy Foundation • www.cpresource.org
EPILEPSY
Epilepsy is a chronic disorder of recurrent, unprovoked seizures. Seizures may affect any part of the body, but it’s the electrical events in the brain that trigger symptoms. It is a spectrum condition with a wide range of seizure types and control varying from person-to-person.
DID YOU KNOW?
• Epilepsy affects over 3.4 million Americans of all ages, more than Multiple Sclerosis, Cerebral Palsy, Muscular Dystrophy, and Parkinson’s Disease combined.
• In America, Epilepsy is as common as Breast Cancer and takes as many lives.
• Almost 500 new cases of Epilepsy are diagnosed every day in the U.S.
• 1 In 100 people will develop Epilepsy and 1 in 10 people will suffer a seizure in their lifetime.
• Approximately 1/3rd of all children with epilepsy continue to have seizures even with medical treatment
FOUNDATION:
Epilepsy Foundation • www.epilepsy.com
HEADACHE DISORDERS
One of the most common disorders of the nervous system, headaches affect about 47% of adults. A painful and disabling migraine, tension headache and cluster headache all fall under the umbrella of headache disorders.

Warm, Rooted, & Resilient:
The Winter Way to Eat Well
WRITTEN BY: DESIREE CRUZ
As winter sets in, with its shorter days and colder air, our bodies and appetites subtly shift. For many of us, the urge is to reach for comforting, warming meals, but it doesn’t have to mean settling for less-nutritious fare. Embracing a seasonal approach to eating during the winter months can support immune function, mood, metabolism, and overall wellbeing, which is what is needed in the City That Never Sleeps.
WHY WINTER DEMANDS A DIFFERENT NUTRITION MINDSET
Our nutritional needs and eating patterns fluctuate across the year. Research shows that energy intake among young women, for example, was highest during winter months, nearly 25 % higher than in summer, despite lower physical activity levels. A separate study of older adults found that intake of some nutrients (like vitamin C and vegetable protein) varied significantly by season.
A large Dutch cohort study found that diet quality naturally shifts with the seasons: during winter, people tended to consume more legumes, nuts, and tea, while intake of sugar-sweetened beverages and dairy declined. Far from being a “slow” season for health, winter appears to nudge us toward a different nutritional rhythm, one in which physiology, mood, and environment align to call for a more tailored approach to wellness.
WHAT “SEASONAL EATING” REALLY MEANS IN WINTER
Eating seasonally involves choosing produce and foods that are naturally in harvest or abundant during the colder months, ideally locally grown or quicker-to-market. Not only does this often enhance flavour and freshness, but it may also offer more nutritional value compared with items that travel long distances or are held in storage.
In a winter-focused diet, that might translate to root vegetables (such as beets, turnips, sweet potatoes), dark leafy greens (such as kale and collards), citrus fruits (grapefruit, oranges), winter squashes, legumes and hearty grains. These foods tend to provide more sustained energy, fibre, plant-based nutrients and warming comfort, while aligning with the body’s subtle seasonal metabolism shifts. Experts say that seasonal foods may help the body adjust better to colder weather.
THE THREE KEYS FOR WINTER WELLNESS
1. Fuel your immune system - Cold weather often coincides with more time indoors, closer contacts, and higher risk of seasonal illness. Nutrients such as vitamin C, zinc, vitamin D and selenium become even more relevant during the winter. While supplementation should always be guided by a physician, focusing on whole-food sources helps. For example, citrus fruits, dark leafy greens, legumes, nuts and seeds, and fatty fish are all strong choices.
2. Choose warming, nutrient-dense meals - Instead of reverting to high-calorie comfort foods of minimal nutritional value, try soups, stews, roasted root vegetables, mushrooms, legumes and whole grains. These foods provide not only warmth and satiety but fibre and micronutrients. They can help offset the natural drop in physical activity and daylight that many experience. As one dietitian explained: “Lean into hunger cues and opt for satisfying, nourishing foods rather than fighting cravings.”
3. Embrace variety and protect diet quality - One challenge in winter is the slump in fresh produce variety. A longitudinal study of mid-life women found that diet quality (as measured by the Healthy Eating Index) was significantly lower during the winter holiday season. To avoid stagnation, rotate in seasonal vegetables, experiment with legume-rich recipes and embrace frozen or canned options when fresh local produce is unavailable. Frozen and canned fruits and vegetables can still retain much of their nutrient value and support variety.
PRACTICAL STRATEGIES FOR URBAN-DWELLING NEW YORKERS
1. Shop the local markets - Winter farmers markets in New York still offer seasonal produce like winter squash, kale, beets, carrots, and apples. Buying locally often means fresher, more flavourful produce.
2. Batch, cook, & freeze - Spend a weekend roasting root vegetables, cooking lentil stews or kale-bean soups, and freeze single-servings for quick weekday meals.
3. Make colorful bowls - Try a base of whole grain (farro, brown rice), add roasted sweet potato or beet, piles of sautéed kale or collards, a handful of beans, and a citrus vinaigrette.
4. Spice it up - Herbs and warming spices like ginger, turmeric, cumin, and rosemary not only enhance flavour but may also support circulation and comfort during colder months.
5. Stay hydrated and keep light options - Cold weather can blunt thirst cues. Herbal teas, warm broths, and maintaining typical fluid intake remain important.
6. Mind the holidays - Winter holidays bring rich foods and potential weight gain. A systematic review found that many adults gain weight during holiday periods and often retain it afterwards. Rather than strict restriction, aim for mindful inclusion of treats, while maintaining a strong baseline of whole-food meals.
Winter is not a season to “hibernate” nutritionally. Instead, it presents a unique opportunity to realign our eating habits with the rhythms of the season, choosing produce that supports our immunity, metabolism and emotional wellbeing in colder months. By embracing seasonal, nutrient-dense foods, focusing on variety, and adopting simple, practical strategies in an urban context, we can stay vibrant and well-nourished even when the days are short and the air is crisp.
We live in a world that never sleeps, where glowing screens, notifications, and social media feeds dominate much of our day. While digital tools are essential for work, communication, and entertainment, constant connectivity comes at a cost. Increasing evidence suggests that taking intentional breaks from screens a “digital detox” can improve mental health, sleep, focus, and even relationships. Think of it as exercise for your attention span and emotional well-being.
THE HIDDEN COSTS OF CONSTANT CONNECTIVITY
Most digital platforms are designed to capture attention. Notifications, pings, and curated content trigger our brains’ reward centers, releasing dopamine and reinforcing habitual checking. Over time, this constant stimulation can increase stress, reduce deep thinking, and make it difficult to focus on meaningful tasks. Studies have shown that frequent interruptions from digital devices can impair cognitive performance, leaving us mentally fatigued and emotionally drained¹.
For many, heavy social media use also fuels comparison and anxiety. Seeing carefully curated snapshots of others’ lives can make our own experiences feel inadequate, heightening feelings of loneliness and depression. Research links excessive screen time with increased anxiety, depression, and reduced life satisfaction, particularly among teens and young adults²,³.
Constant connectivity also affects our ability to manage emotions. The habit of multitasking across apps can increase irritability and decrease patience. Even simple conversations with friends or family can feel less engaging when attention is divided, contributing to the sense of disconnection many people report.
SMALL CHANGES, BIG BENEFITS
The good news? Reducing screen time has measurable benefits. In randomized trials, participants who limited smartphone use for just one week reported lower stress, reduced anxiety, and greater life satisfaction compared with those who continued normal usage patterns². Even small adjustments like turning off nonessential notifications, leaving devices out of the bedroom, or taking a device-free hour each evening can improve mood, focus, and sleep quality.
Sleep, in particular, suffers when screens dominate our nights. Exposure to blue light from phones and tablets suppresses melatonin, delaying sleep onset. A later bedtime and fragmented sleep can worsen mood, reduce
cognitive performance, and even affect physical health. Simple interventions, such as removing devices from bedrooms or establishing a technology-free wind-down routine before bed, have been linked to improved sleep and overall well-being⁴.
WHAT A DIGITAL DETOX LOOKS LIKE
A digital detox doesn’t mean abandoning technology; it’s about reshaping how we interact with it. For example:
• Screen-Free Meals: Commit to no devices at the table to enhance presence and conversation.
• Device-Free Bedrooms: Keep phones out of reach at night to support better sleep.
• Social Media Breaks: Schedule short breaks from social media to reset attention and reduce comparison stress.
• Mindful Use: Replace some scrolling time with offline activities like walking, reading, or journaling.
Even structured short-term detoxes like a weekend without social media can be restorative. By deliberately limiting engagement, we regain mental space, improve emotional balance, and reconnect with ourselves and those around us.
Some experts also recommend digital “micro-breaks” throughout the day. For instance, taking a few minutes between tasks to step away from screens, breathe, or stretch can reduce mental fatigue. Over time, these small pauses accumulate, improving attention span, creativity, and emotional regulation.
TIPS FOR A SUCCESSFUL DETOX
• Start Small: Begin with short, achievable goals, like device-free meals or one tech-free hour per day.
• Track Your Habits: Use built-in screentime trackers to understand usage patterns and identify your biggest distractions.
• Replace, Don’t Just Remove: Fill the time previously spent online with enjoyable offline activities, such as cooking, exercising, or spending time outdoors.
• Be Realistic: Technology is essential; the aim is balance, not total avoidance.
Many people notice benefits almost immediately. After just a few days, participants often report clearer thinking, improved mood, better sleep, and more satisfying in-person interactions⁴.
WHY IT MATTERS
Intentional disconnection is more than a trendy wellness practice; it’s a form of preventive mental health. In a hyperconnected world, choosing to unplug even briefly helps restore focus, reduce stress, and deepen relationships. It also encourages self-reflection, as time away from the constant influx of information allows you to consider priorities, goals, and personal values without distraction.
A digital detox can also improve productivity. When notifications and endless feeds no longer compete for attention, your brain can concentrate on single tasks more effectively, boosting both efficiency and the quality of work. Over time, these habits strengthen mental discipline, making it easier to resist compulsive device checking in everyday life.
For parents, a digital detox can be especially meaningful. Modeling mindful device use helps children learn healthy boundaries, encouraging offline play, creativity, and face-to-face social skills. Even modest reductions in children’s leisure screen time have been linked to improved behavior and psychological outcomes.
Ultimately, a digital detox is about regaining choice. Instead of being constantly pulled into online demands, you decide how and when technology serves you. It’s a chance to reclaim attention, reconnect with real life, and give your mind the break it deserves.
