Tips to ward off sickness

In my pursuit of a healthier lifestyle I found a lot of helpful tips to improve my health. Most of these I have used and others have been used and verified by colleagues. Please use them as you see fit.

HEADACHES – Eat lots of FISH for protein as fish oil helps to prevent headaches. Ginger will reduce inflammation and pain to prevent headaches and reduce swelling from injuries and your joints.

HAYFEVER – Eat lots of yogurt before and during pollen season. Reduce intake of dairy products.

STROKES – Tea wards off buildup of fatty deposit on your artery walls. Of course you may want to drink decaf tea to prevent the side effects from caffeine.

HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE – Olive oil has been shown to lower blood pressure. Celery contains ingredients that lower blood pressure. The greener stalks of celery are a good source of vitamin A, and celery is also a good source of vitamins B1 and G. It is rich in chlorine, sodium, potassium, and magnesium.

DIARRHEA – Apples slow down, and in many cases stop diarrhea. Take the skin off an apple and when it turns brown, eat it. It may look like a bad apple, but it does the job.

ULCERS – Cabbage is an excellent source of Vitamin C and helps improve both type of ulcers.
