HEALTH TIP LIST
ALEXANDRA DURON
Excuses, excuses: We hear and make them all the time. But when it comes to our bodies, excuses shouldn't be stopping us from being healthier. Luckily, we discovered�this list of 67 ways to reduce stress and improve our lives in less than a minute.
Here are five surprising get-healthy tips we found on Rodale.com (in no particular order):
Grab a Breath Mint
No, not just because you added those onions to your lunch salad today. Researchers say that smelling mint can make it seem like your workouts are less strenuous. Because of that, you're more likely to work out longer.
Have a Headache? Cut Yourself a Piece of Pie
With fall upon us and fresh apples everywhere, we were thrilled to find out that munching on an organic Granny Smith apple can help lessen migraine pains. We guess that an apple a day really does keep the doctor away.�
Add Cinnamon
Studies show that this spice may reduce blood pressure and lower stress. We suggest adding it to your coffee or oatmeal in the morning for a delicious pick-me-up treat before work.
Dry-Brush Your Teeth
Before you reach for your minty-fresh toothpaste, brush your teeth for 30 seconds with your dry toothbrush. Why, you wonder? It reduces the risk of bleeding gums and cuts tartar by 60 percent!
Kill ANTS
We aren't talking about the insects here. ANTS, which stands for Automatic Negative Thoughts, trigger anxiety and make stress hormones circulate throughout our bodies. When an ANT crawls across your mind, write it down and forget about it. Review it later on to see how you can correct that kind of negative thinking.
