Try Acupressure
Calm a queasy stomach with this quick acupressure
trick: Use your index and middle fingers to press down on the groove
between the tendons that run from the base of your palm to your wrist.
Wristbands that apply pressure to this spot are available at drugstores
and online.
Watch Your Carbs
Trying to reduce belly fat? Pay attention to your
carbohydrate intake and avoid artificial sweeteners. Sugary snacks and
other refined carbs spike blood sugar and cause pounds to settle in your
midsection. Choose whole grains, beans, and vegetables instead.
Use Calendula Products
To ease acne, forgo benzoyl peroxide for lotion or soap made from calendula flowers, which may have antiseptic effects.
Cayenne Pepper
To warm up cold feet, sprinkle a bit of cayenne pepper
into your socks. This folk remedy may help warm your toes by increasing
circulation and improving blood flow.
Use Licorice
Treat canker sores, painful spots on the inside of the
mouth, with deglycyrrhizinated licorice (DGL), which appears to soothe
mucous membranes. Buy in powder form and mix with a little water to make
a paste; apply it to the sore as needed.
Drink Cranberry Juice
Cranberries contain a substance that appears to keep
bacteria from sticking to the walls of the urinary tract and has been
shown to help prevent UTIs. Because cranberry cocktail is high in sugar,
drink unsweetened juice diluted with water or take capsules of powdered
cranberry extract.
Swab Your Soles
Are you tired of having stinky feet? Kill odor-causing
bacteria quickly by soaking a cotton ball with rubbing alcohol and
wiping your soles as needed.
Drink Mint Tea
Ease occasional indigestion by sipping a cup of
peppermint tea after your meal. Peppermint improves the flow of bile,
which moves food through the digestive tract more quickly. Use
peppermint with caution if you have acid reflux; it can make that
problem worse.
Get Your Daily D
Get your vitamin D level checked with a simple blood test. D is at least as important as calcium for strong bones, and most Americans don't get enough. Get a minimum of 1,000 IU a day through supplements and foodTry a Tongue Scraper
To combat bad breath, consider investing in this
inexpensive plastic or metal device to remove bacteria from the back of
your tongue. Some studies suggest that adding tongue scraping to your
regimen may be slightly more effective at eliminating breath odor than
just brushing your teeth.
