Try making these for a festive fall girls night or even Thanksgiving! They never disappoint. And if you’re looking for a mocktail, just swap the aperol…

L-carnitine is a compound the human body produces in small amounts out of the amino acids lysine and methionine to facilitate the transfer of long chain fatty acids into mitochondria for energy production. But most of the carnitine we use comes from the animal products we eat, particularly red meat, and if you really want a large dose you’ll need to supplement. And that’s what most people are referring to when they talk about L-carnitine: the supplement. As a supplement, L-carnitine offers a host of benefits across a wide variety of physiological systems: Weight loss Body recomposition Energy production Hormone…
Hydrogen water is water that’s been infused with extra hydrogen gas to increase the antioxidant and anti-inflammatory potential, drawing on years of research by medical professionals who have been exploring the benefits of inhaled hydrogen for cardiac patients, people going into and coming out of surgery, and other medical applications.

But sticking to goals is often much harder than jotting them down. One study found that about 64% (nearly two-thirds) of people abandon their New Year’s resolutions within a month.

You crack open a new planner or calendar and imagine what could be. “The New Year serves as a cyclical marker of time…
