Go bananas
A banana has approximately 30% of your daily recommended intake
of vitamin B6. Vitamin B6 helps the brain produce serotonin, which is
considered a mood stabiliser. Serotonin impacts your motor skills and
emotions. It is also the chemical that helps you sleep and digest food.
Eating a banana can help relieve depression and anxiety by stimulating
the serotonin levels in your body.
Bananas are also high in potassium. This mineral is important as it helps
maintain fluid levels in the body and regulates the movement of nutrients
and waste products in and out of cells. Potassium also helps muscles to
contract and nerve cells to respond. It keeps the heart beating regularly
and can reduce the effect of sodium on blood pressure.
Snack on mixed nuts
Mixed, 'dried' fruits are an excellent source of omega-3 fatty acids. They
also help with skin elasticity, keeping it radiant and smooth. Research
suggest that eating the right proportion of nuts can reduce the risk of
skin cancer.
Moreover, when nutritionists recommend opting for a well-balanced diet,
they refer to incorporating a serving of natural food sources, including
nuts, due to their positive effects on your overall wellbeing. So, next time
you go grocery shopping, don’t forget to toss some almonds, walnuts,
and cashews into your shopping basket.
Forgive someone to improve your health
Being bitter or holding a grudge against 'someone, is emotionally and physically draining. Forgiving someone doesn’t
mean you condone what they’ve done or said to you. Releasing bitterness can result in less anxiety, lower blood
pressure, greater spiritual wellbeing, a stronger immune system, better heart health, higher self-esteem and healthier
relationships.
Keep dry feet healthy
Wearing the wrong shoes or spending too much time standing, can result in
dry, itchy feet and areas of irritated or scaly skin. Without treatment, dry skin
can thicken and crack open, leaving the feet vulnerable to infection.
Use pumice stones, exfoliators, and foot soaks to remove dry skin from your
feet at home. Regularly apply moisturiser and removing dead skin will help
keep the feet healthy and hydrated.
