61-75 Tips

61. Bad Breath?
Some research suggests that a high-fat diet can contribute to bad breath. Fats in meat, cheese and milk seem to be a particular problem.


62. Pesticides
The British Medical Association say that some pesticides can be stored in our body's fatty tissues for years. We just do not know the long term effects of this, so buy certified organic products.

63. Distance It
If you're worrying about something, imagine how important it will be to you in 5, 10 or 20 years.

64. Chronic Pain
Learn relaxation and stretching techniques if you suffer from chronic pain.

65. Migraines?
Try Bowen Therapy; there are therapists practising this gentle procedure in many different countries.

66. Skipping Breakfast?
You may think this will help you lose weight, but your body interprets it as a sign to slow down.


67. Abundance
Research supports the notion that rediscovering a sense of abundance by thinking about those people and things we love lowers the risks of coronary events," says Blair Justice, professor-emeritus of psychology in Houston.

68. Wheat &/Or Gluten Problems?
Buckwheat is not a cereal so is usually suitable for people who can't eat wheat or gluten. Try making traditional French galettes -buckwheat pancakes - delicious!

69. Concerned About Cholesterol?
In a study of 143 people with high cholesterol levels, taking 450 mg artichoke extract reduced total cholesterol by 18.5%, but check with your doctor, if you are already on medication. (UK Times June 30 2007)

70. Blood Pressure Check
71. Dont have your blood pressure taken when youre thirsty, as it could distort the reading.

72. Office Printers
If possible, make sure you sit away from an office printer, as these produce a lot of noxious chemicals.

73. Sleepless?
If you can't sleep, get up and do something really boring till you feel tired again.

74. Symptoms
Symptoms can be nature's way of telling us something is wrong. When you tackle the symptoms, are you killing the messenger?

75. Heavy Drinking
If you've had a night of heavy drinking it's best not to drink alcohol for 48 hours to allow your body to recover. Drink lots of water and fruit juice instead.
