21 Of The Most Important Health Tips You'll Ever Need!
We all know that prevention is better than cure, but how exactly can we help ourselves to better health? Here are some very helpful tips to get you onto the road to better health.......
Eat more lettuce at night. It contains the natural sedative lactucarium which encourages deeper sleep.
Cats purr in alpha waves, identical to those produced by the human brain during meditation - and that's why stroking a cat calms you down.
Don't give a person coffee to sober them up as it is a diuretic - this depletes fluid and makes alcohol in the body even more concentrated.
Sugar substitutes such as aspartame, found in low calorie foods and drinks, place a great strain on the liver and can lead to weight gain.
People who eat regular small meals find it easier to lower their cholesterol than those who eat three large meals.
The mineral silica helps reduce body odour. Take 75mg daily.
Many people swear by lime flower tea to reduce catarrh.
Eating two bananas a day has been shown to help lower blood pressure.
Eat 3 marshmallows a day - they will aid stomach upsets.
If you sweat excessively without exercising you may be low in zinc - try to take 30mg daily.
Cabbage contains nutrients that help to heal stomach ulcers and improve varicose veins.
Sunlight is great for your health. Without it you can become very ill. Moderate sunbathing is fine with sunscreen, but avoid the midday sun.
For healthy bowel movements you need about a pint of fluid between each meal.
If you are visiting the tropics, stop eating sugar at least a week before you travel. Sugar makes your blood taste sweeter, especially to mosquitos.
Walking for half an hour each day aids digestion.
Sesame seeds contain far more calcium than milk.
The longer you keep fruit and vegetables, the fewer nutrients they will contain. Eat really fresh foods.
Caffeine reduces the body's ability to cope with pain.
Most of us suffer stress but it's how we react to the stressful situation that's important. Stay calm and sleep on the problem.
Never under-estimate the wonderful properties and healing powers of honey. It is especially useful for healing internal problems and aiding skin to heal. If you take honey just before bedtime you can be assured of a lovely relaxed sleep too. Honey is not a syrup as many people believe. (Sincere thanks to Howard for reminding me of the wonders of honey).
Finally... have fun! No-one ever had 'I wish I'd spent more time at the office' engraved on their tombstone Find a balance.
