WELLNESS TIPS




 

Fruits and Vegetables
All fruits and vegetables, due to their rich nutrient and fiber content, help to combat chronic inflammation, so make sure to include adequate amounts of these foods daily. Some types of fresh produce, however, are even more potent than others.

Some anti-inflammatory fruits and vegetables to include in your meal plan includes apples, berries, broccoli, mushrooms, papaya (pawpaw), pineapple and spinach

A Good Way To Soothe A Sore Throat
Saltwater Gargle:

A sore throat can be the first sign of a cold or a side effect of strained vocal cords.
Several studies have found that gargling several times a day with warm salt water can reduce swelling in the throat and loosen mucus, helping to flush out irritants or bacteria.

Half a teaspoon of salt in a one cup of water is recommended. If the salty taste is too unpleasant for you try adding a small amount of honey to sweeten the mixture slightly. (Just remember to spit the water after gargling, rather than swallowing)

Reasons Why You Are Always Tired

         Lack of sleep isn't the only thing sapping your energy.

         Skipping your workout to save energy actually works against you.

         You don’t drink enough water

         Being even slightly dehydrated takes a toll on energy levels. Dehydration causes a reduction in blood volume which makes the blood thicker. This requires your heart to pump less efficiently, reducing the speed at which oxygen and nutrients reach your muscles and organs.

         When you don’t boost your iron intake.

         You skip breakfast

         You live on junk foods – foods loaded with sugar

 

 

 

• Skipping your workout to save energy actually works against you.

• You don't drink enough water

• Being even slightly dehydrated—as little as 2% of normal fluid loss—takes a toll on energy levels, says Amy Goodson, RD, a dietitian for Texas Health Ben Hogan Sports Medicine. Dehydration causes a reduction in blood volume, explains Goodson, which makes the blood thicker. This requires your heart to pump less efficiently, reducing the speed at which oxygen and nutrients reach your muscles and organs.

 

 

Staying hydrated is very important, especially when you're sick and your throat is irritated or inflamed. You should be drinking enough fluid so that your urine is light yellow or clear. This keeps your mucous membranes moist and better able to combat bacteria, and makes your body better able to fight back against other cold symptoms.
