Schizandra tea is hard to pronounce and relatively heard of, but it’s worth trying! It has a calming effect, improves sleep, balances blood sugar, is good for the liver, and may increase memory.

Don’t cover your microwaved food with plastic, Saran wrap or some other material other than a microwave-safe substance. This is recommended because harmful chemicals contained in the material can be released from the heat and end up in your food.

Have you recently sprained or twisted your ankle? Make sure to do balance exercises after the injury heals. After an ankle sprain, your neuromuscular coordination suffers and you are prone to ankle and knee instability. Start by standing on one foot and slowly reaching the opposite leg out in front of you, then to the side, and then diagonally behind you. Repeat on the opposite side.

Does your job order takeout everyday?! Swapping a side salad instead of fries can leave you unfilled. I usually
ask for a side of carrots & chickpeas or tomatoes and mozarella drizzled with balsamic and fresh basil (most places,
especially Italian restaurants) will have these ingredients on hand.
