Eat more radishes! That’s because radishes contain sulfur and silica – nutrients that are vital for hair growth. For example, sulfur lengthens your hair’s growing phase – and helps form keratin, which is the protein in your hair shaft. Silica, the other important nutrient, makes hair stronger and more elastic. So it won’t break as easily. So stock up on radishes and have a serving every day, which is one cup. You can roast them in olive oil to make them sweeter – and then add a little sea salt to help cut the bitterness even more.

The #1 way to reduce lower back pain is exercises that strengthen your core and keep your back in balance, like planks, bridges, and pelvic tilts. That’s according to a review of 21 clinical trials involving more than 30,000 people. And doing core-strengthening exercises, aerobics, and hamstring stretches before your first-ever twinge of back pain makes you 35% less likely to develop back pain at all.

If you have a minor cut or scrape…

Should you keep it covered, or let it breathe? Ohio State University’s Wound Center says: Both. Keep it covered when you’re out and about, and your skin is exposed to pollution, germs, and debris. At home, uncover it and let it breathe – especially while you’re sleeping. Because that’s when the body uses oxygen to produce new skin cells and collagen, which seals the wound and helps it heal.

Have you ever noticed how much you have to pee in the morning?

Internist Dr. Keri Peterson says that’s because, overnight, our kidneys filter less urine. Plus, at night our body releases more vasopressin – a hormone that makes us hold onto excess fluid. So, by morning, your bladder’s full and you’ve gotta go. Then, if you immediately drink coffee or tea, it has a diuretic effect, sending you to the bathroom again.

Social facilitation. That’s the tendency to perform better when you know you’re being watched. And, according to sports psychologists, it’s why, when you run with a friend who’s a little fitter than you, you run faster. Or you try harder in an exercise class when the instructor is walking around the room, watching your moves. So, if you have trouble with motivation when you’re working out, it pays to exercise in a group or with a friend. Just remember: Social facilitation, and at the moment, social distancing too.

Just get some decent sleep! According to the UK’s University of Warwick, the mental and physical improvements of better sleep are similar to what lottery winners felt after landing a quarter-of-a-million-dollar jackpot!  

The study on over 30‑thousand people lasted 4-years. And those who made positive changes to their sleep habits were significantly happier and healthier than those who relied on sleeping pills.

Stop a fluttering heart from stress!

Did you know that if your heart gets all fluttery from stress, there’s a way to “touch” it to make the flutter – and your stress – go away?

Just do this: Take your thumb, and press it firmly in the web between the pointer finger and thumb of your other hand. Or, press hard in the space between your second and third knuckles. Psychologist Dr. Sharon Melnick, who wrote “Success Under Stress,” says the nerves under those areas go directly to your heart. And when you apply pressure to those nerves, it activates them in a way that relaxes the heart, and creates a sense of, quote “instant calm.”

Exercise regularly. People who work out live up to 7 years longer than those who don’t. Also, exercise can reduce depression and boost self-esteem. Just 10 minutes of activity three times a day can do the trick. So go for a run, take a walk, use water bottles as weights, or get on that exercise bicycle. Just get moving!

It’s good for your brain!

UCLA did brain scan studies, and they found gardening cuts the risk of dementia in half! It can even help reverse mild memory loss that’s already begun. It’s down to the combination of physical and mental effort that’s required for gardening. It boosts gray matter in the areas of the brain linked to memory and cognitive skills. So if you love gardening, know that it loves you back. Now start that indoor flower or herb garden and look forward to Spring for an outdoor garden project!

Eat a handful of walnuts a day! According to a study in the Journal Of Cosmetic Dermatology, the omega-3 fatty acids in walnuts helped reverse hair loss in 90% of the women studied… and 87% of them reported growing thicker hair. The omega-3s in walnuts provide hair cells with the building blocks they need to function at their best. And walnuts have more omega-3s than any other nut. So eat a handful a day for thicker, healthier hair.
