Need better Sleep? Try these for better ZZZ’s.

Almonds: A handful contains muscle-relaxing magnesium and sleep-inducing tryptophan, which increases the brain’s level of feel-good serotonin.

Bananas: Beneath the peel is a trifecta of soothers: serotonin, magnesium, and melatonin, your body’s natural sleep regulator.

Skim milk: Mom was right — a warm glassful will help you sleep better. The milk’s tryptophan has a sedating effect. Plus, it’s calcium that helps your brain use that tryptophan.

Oatmeal: Oats are rich in sleep-regulating melatonin. If you drizzle just a little honey on top, it tells your brain to turn off orexin, a neuropeptide linked to alertness.

Whole-wheat bread: A slice of toast dotted with banana slices releases insulin, which helps tryptophan get to your brain. There it changes into serotonin and whispers, “Sweet dreams.”

Fat Cells

Fat Cells:

Fat cells are tiny cells that absorb and accumulate fat from the food that you eat.  When consumed, fat is broken down and absorbed into the blood stream.  The fat is then grabbed out of the blood system and stored into the fat cells throughout your body.  Fat cells are only created when you are in the womb and when you are going through puberty.  Other than those two times, new fat cells are generally not created.  Unfortunately, fat cells in the body do not die.  Those fat cells you will posses for the rest of your life.  If fat cells do not die, then how do you get rid of them?  When you exercise and eat right, you will start to lose weight.  The weight that is lost is fat, but it is not because fat cells are being removed from the body.  What is actually happening is that some of the fat that resides in your fat cell are becoming smaller.  So when you lose weight your fat cells are shrinking.

Stretch Pants

Soft, Comfy Stretch Pants

The trap: Yep, they feel good. But all that stretch lets you ignore an expanding waistline — a huge risk factor for heart disease and diabetes. Not to mention self-esteem.

The impact: A wide middle — over 35 inches for women, 40 inches for men — kicks up your diabetes risk two to ten times, even if you’re not overweight! Your odds for high blood pressure and high cholesterol go up, too. The cause: visceral fat around your middle. Its gooey globules inflame your liver, blood vessels, immune system, and more.

Swap ‘em for: Pants that button at the waist. When they feel snug, exercise more and eat less.

Vitamin D and SUN

Vitamin D’s main purpose is to keep normal levels of calcium and phosphorus in the bloodstream. Calcium needs vitamin D to help transport it from digested food in the stomach and small intestines to the bloodstream. In the body calcium keeps bones strong. There is also some research that suggests that vitamin D may help prevent osteoporosis, high blood pressure, cancer, and some immune-system diseases.

LIAR

HOW TO TELL IF SOMEONE IS TELLING THE TRUTH:  The  Pinocchio effect.  When someone is not honest the inside of the nose swells and releases histamine which causes itching.  As a result, liars are more likely to touch or scratch their nose, according to Alan Hirsch, MD, founder of Smell & Taste Treatment and Research Foundation.  Other lying tell-tells are “liars lean” and using words such as would not or could not rather than wouldn’t or couldn’t for emphasis.
