  • Do a squat every time you pick something up. Instead of bending over the usual way, which stresses the lower back, bend your knees and squat. This forces you to use your leg muscles and build strength.
  • Every time you stop at a traffic light, tighten your thigh and butt muscles and release as many times as you can. This will firm leg and buttocks, improve blood flow and keep you mildly amused!
  • Whenever you're standing in a line, lift one foot half-inch off the ground. The extra stress on your opposite foot, ankle, calf and thigh, plus buttocks will help firm and tone muscles. Switch feet every few minutes.

Bad Breath, Go Away!

Here are some ways to stay far, far away from stinky breath.

Causes

  1. Food
  2. Dry mouth
  3. A sign of medical disorder
  4. Tobacco
  5. Severe dieting
Here's how to check for bad breath: Lick the back of your hand and then smell it. If no odour is sensed (just the presence of normal saliva), you're good to go!

Did you know?
The people in South America gargle their mouth each morning with one teaspoon of honey and cinnamon powder mixed in hot water. This keeps their breath fresh throughout the day!

Self-Care

  • Proper brushing and flossing is essential. If you have braces, clean them properly.
  • Rinse or gargle your mouth with plain water after eating.
  • Brush your tongue, especially towards the back to remove dead cells, bacteria and food debris.
  • Stay hydrated. Drink water throughout the day to keep mouth moist. Coffee and alcohol don't count! You can stimulate saliva production by chewing gum!
  • Eat regular meals to keep breath fresh. Try not to eat foods that cause bad breath.
  • Chew on parsley or mint before and after eating to get rid of post-meal bad breath.
  • See your dentist regularly. You should have your teeth examined and cleaned by your dentist at least twice a year.

Drink A Glass Of Mangosteen Juice For Health Benefits Every Day By Kerry Ng

Fruits and vegetables have always been an important part to a healthy diet. Along with daily exercise and your body will reward you with great energy and radiating skin. This is no secret; it's just plain fact.

Choosing the Proper Fruits

While some of us love our vegetables and fruits, some of us barely eat a handful a week. Eating the proper foods is a part of promoting good health. Learn a bit about your daily diet and you'll be able to eat right even if you don’t consume the exact amount needed daily. The mangosteen is a fruit that is filled with all the vital vitamins and minerals required to provide that needed dosage for good health on a daily basis.

The Mangosteen Fruit

Grown in the tropical land of Southeast Asia several centuries ago, the mangosteen tree needs warm temperatures and large amounts of rain to grow. Nonetheless, its growth is very slow and it achieves its peak-season in about 10 years. By then, it starts to produce large quantities of mangosteen fruit yearly.

What Exactly are The Health Benefits of Mangosteen Juice?

The health benefits from mangosteen juice is faster absorption in the body instead of eating fresh or dried. The most significant health benefit from the mangosteen juice is the rich content of antioxidants in each fruit. Antioxidants are recognized for their ability to fight and delay the aging process, thus leaving us with healthier skin.

Drink mangosteen juice for your health benefits. These health benefits include a good daily dose of vitamins and minerals, such as Vitamin E, Vitamin B6, Vitamin B1, calcium, potassium, iron and fiber.

Just a Reminder

Although the health benefits from mangosteen juice are huge; it acts to compliment our immune system by assisting it to fight infections and other possible diseases. It does not cure any illnesses on its own. All fresh fruits and vegetables are good for our health and well-being.

Feeding our bodies with natural foods found in nature, with no preservatives or additives, is one of the best ways to ensure a long, healthy and happy life. Consume fresh fruits and vegetables as frequently as possible to sustain your health for the long haul.
