Din Know
1
Out to a sumptuous dinner
and your heartburn refuses to
be forgiving? Ask the chef
for a few almond
slices, almond
oil can neutralise
stomach acid in
roughly 15 minutes.
2
Hot date night in Barbados
and want to impress with
a whiter smile? No time to run
to the store head to the fruit
basket…rub the white inside of
an orange on your teeth for 15
seconds and the d-limonene in the
peel will lift surface stains quickly
without damaging enamel. The
look should last a few days.
3
Awoke anxious about
this morning’s Caribbean
business meeting? Beat the
doldrums with an exhilerating
body stretch. Lay on your back,
bring both knees to the chest,
then let them fall to the right side,
hold for a few breaths and repeat
on the left. The hold is said to
release positive energy in the body
that can last all day long.
