Our 12 Favorite Healthy Picks For August

"So, I ran the San Francisco (half) Marathon yesterday, and my quads . . . and calves, and IT bands, and hamstrings . . . have yet to forgive me. This morning, I sprayed my bare, achy legs with CVS Ultra Strength Muscle Rub Spray ($9), which did two things: one, made me smell like toothpaste/mouthwash on my train commute to work. Two, helped (slightly) numb my sore muscles, alleviated some pain, and added a soothing tingling sensation to the affected areas. For a topical, over-the-counter remedy, it's pretty fantastic. I wish I could fill my bathtub with this stuff and just soak." — DA
