Health 'N Exercise

*Snack on bananas and raisins; they help to alleviate fluid retention.

*Bananas have a natural antacid effect on the body.  So if you suffer from heartburn, try eating a banana for soothing relief.

*Two-minute tummy tuck:  Seated or standing, inhale allowing the abdominal muscles to gently relax outward.  Think of your tummy as a balloon.  Exhale, contracting the abdominal muscles tightly inward, as if you're trying to get every bit of air out of the balloon.

*Have bad breath?  Take a slice of cucumber, put it on the roof of your mouth, and hold it their with your tongue for 30 seconds.  It will kill the bacteria in your mouth that's causing the bad breath.

*Laughing really does do you good!  Laughter is a great form of stress relief, according to the Mayo Clinic.  Its long-term effects may even build up your immune system.  So have a good laugh today!
