Surprising health boosters
You’re well aware of what it takes to be healthy. Eat clean foods, exercise and sleep. But have you ever thought of these ways to avoid disease, stay strong and live longer?
1. Have sex
Having sex once or twice a week has been shown to boost immunoglobulin (IgA), which is the body’s first line of defence against viruses that cause cold and flu.
2. Floss Daily
Flossing removes the plaque where deadly bacteria grow, the kind of bacteria that can enter your blood system and cause heart attacks and stoke.
3. Drink grape juice
Researchers have shown that grape juice can lower the chance of heart attack and stroke and even fight cancer.
4. Listen to music
Music that appeals to you, has been shown to lower stress levels and blood pressure, increase concentration and relieve pain.
5. Stay moist
The flu virus likes a dry environment, hence why the low humidity in winter makes it flu season. If you live where it’s dry, install a humidifier.
