The Eye, Face, Hands, Hair, Mouth, and Feet
The Eye
- Take breaks from close work. Every 20 minutes or so, look into the distance for a minute to relax your focusing muscles.
- Blink often. Blinking helps to lubricate your eyes.
- Wash your hands regularly. Germs from your hands can transfer to your eyes and cause infection.
- Drink plenty of water. Staying hydrated is important for overall health, including eye health.
- Exercise regularly. Exercise improves circulation, which can help to reduce puffiness and dark circles under the eyes.
- Wear sunglasses to protect your eyes from the sun's harmful UV rays.
- Get regular eye exams. This will help to identify any potential eye problems early on.
- By following these tips, you can help to keep your eyes healthy and looking their best for years to come.
Face Fats
- Avoid touching your face with your hands, as this can spread germs.
- To get an idea of what you would look like with a face lift, lie on your back and hold a mirror above your face.
- Drinking plenty of water and exercising regularly can help keep your skin looking healthy.
Show of Hands
- Scrape your nails over a bar of soap before gardening or working on your car to remove dirt and grime.
- Bleach stains on your nails by soaking your fingertips in half a lemon for a few minutes, then rinsing with lukewarm water.
Footnotes
- Feet sweat about one glass of water per day, so wool or cotton socks are the best choice. Synthetic socks and non-washable canvas or vinyl shoes can encourage fungus growth.
- If you have back pain, check your feet for problems such as calluses, corns, or poor weight distribution.
- Wear shoes that fit well and shop for them late in the day, when your feet are at their largest.
- To refresh tired feet, soak them in cool water.
Hairy Situation
- Shampoo your hair gently, following the direction of hair growth.
- Use lukewarm water, as hot water can damage your scalp.
- Clean combs and brushes in hot water and scrub them with an old toothbrush.
- If your hair has static, spray your brush with a static-free product made for clothing.
A Mouthful
- Tooth whiteners can damage your enamel, so it's best to have regular professional cleanings instead.
- Always brush your tongue when you brush your teeth to remove food particles and prevent bad breath.
- Denture wearers should be examined by a dentist every six months.
Getting a Move On
- Exercise is important for everyone, regardless of weight. If you don't exercise, you will lose muscle and gain fat.
- Climbing five more flights of stairs per day can help you lose about five pounds per year.
- Walking is a great way to improve overall health, and it's less likely to cause injuries than jogging.
