Last week we gave you 7 do-it-yourself tips! Hope you enjoyed the tips and have already implemented them!!
At PLJ we believe a well-rounded life consists of a well-balanced life with proper care for the two most important factors in your life: Your Health & Your Wealth.
As promised, below you will find 7 household health remedies for a healthy life that have most likely been hiding under your nose! BUT REMEMBER, in order to have a well-balanced life, you must also make sure your finances are in order to enjoy your healthy life.
1. REDUCE YOUR CHANCES OF HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE: EAT BANANAS
People whose diets are rich in potassium may be less prone to high blood pressure. Besides reducing sodium and taking other heart-healthy steps, eat potassium-packed picks such as bananas, cantaloupe, and oranges.
2. IMPROVED NIGHT VISION: BILBERRY
Studies are mixed, but some have found that bilberry, a relative of the blueberry, may improve night vision. During World War II, fighter pilots reported better night vision after eating bilberry jam.
3. TO REMEDY DRY SKIN: EAT AVOCADOS
For dry skin, incorporate more avocados into your diet. They’re rich in monounsaturated fat and vitamin E, both of which promote healthy skin. Try them on salads and sandwiches, and even in smoothies.
4. TO KEEP YOUR MIND SHARP: MAKE SMALL TALK
Engaging in casual conversation with others may help keep you as sharp as doing a word puzzle, according to some studies. Just 10 minutes of daily chatter appears to improve mental function and preserve memory.
5. TO PREVENT CAVITIES: EAT JAPANESE FOOD
In addition to following good dental hygiene, you can help prevent cavities by adding more shiitake mushrooms and wasabi to your diet. Both foods contain compounds that help fight the bacteria that cause plaque and cavities.
6. TO CALM A QUEASY STOMACH: 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.
7. TO STRENGTHEN YOUR HEART: CALL A FRIEND
Keeping your social networks alive and well may help benefit your ticker over the long run. Social support has been linked to a lower risk of heart disease, and people who do have heart attacks fare better if they are socially connected.
In an effort to continually educate our PLJ community, I hope you find these great tips not only informative, but also useful!
