Eating slowly and in a relaxed atmosphere will help you digest your food more comfortably, giving your digestive enzymes more time to break down the food. Chewing your food thoroughly not only chops it down into more easily digestible chunks, but the more time it is in your mouth the more contact it will have with the saliva which begins your body's digestive work. Eat at a more sedate pace, and make meals a social occasion and opportunity to chat and catch up with family and friends. If you are talking, you will eat more slowly and your digestion will be smoother and easier. After a big meal you will probably feel like having a lie down and maybe a nap, but the evidence suggests that taking a short walk for fifteen or twenty minutes is a great way to aid digestion. After heavy eating your blood sugar will generally rise and then fall, and going for a walk after eating can help you stabilise your blood sugar levels. A walk a little after eating can help you clear the glucose from your blood and get you feeling back to normal. Various herbal teas can be good digestive aids. Ginger tea is an especially good choice. You can make it from a ginger tea bag, or by placing a few slices of ginger root in a cup of boiling water. Some other teas to try that promote good digestion include chamomile, peppermint, and cinnamon. You can add a few squeezes of lemon and shakes of cayenne pepper to ginger tea to make a concoction that will help speed up your metabolism, and tackle your bloated feeling. The cayenne pepper can help quicken your metabolism, while the lemon helps you feel less bloated. Drinking water after a meal can help you feel a bit refreshed, but it can also help your digestion. The water can aid the passage of the food through your digestive system. Drink a glass around twenty minutes after you have finished eating. Consider drinking a cup of hot water rather than cold water.

Summary: Eat more slowly. Take a brief walk. Sip some herbal tea. Drink some water.

Even if you have a normal or healthy bone density score, you may wish to discuss ways to protect and promote bone health through diet, exercise, and calcium supplements or multi-vitamins. Men and women ages 18 to 50 need an average of 1000mg of calcium and 1000 to 4000 IU of vitamin D each day. Women over 50 and men over 70 should up their calcium intake to 1200mg per day through supplements or a targeted diet. Get calcium from supplements or green leafy vegetables, low-fat dairy products, canned fish with bones, and fortified juices or cereals. Vitamin D is necessary for your body to absorb calcium; your daily needs can be met through sunshine and supplements or fortified foods such as dairy or orange juice. If you have relatives with osteoporosis or who frequently experience bone fractures, or if you are otherwise at risk for bone density loss, it is important to discuss bone health with a professional while you are still healthy. Be sure to reach your recommended daily intake each day and participate in regular exercise to promote bone health. With early steps toward bone density maintenance, many individuals can prevent osteoporosis in old age. If your Z-score is very low or if you only received a peripheral screen that indicated bone density loss, discuss what type of further testing you may need. If you have very low bone density, your doctor may recommend tests for hyperparathyroidism or another bone scan to confirm osteoporosis. Hyperparathyroidism may result from too much calcium in the blood or a second condition causing a calcium deficit in your whole body. Depending on your dietary habits and other health information, your physician may check for vitamin or mineral deficiencies.

Summary: Ask how to prevent bone density loss. Discuss your bone health before it is necessary. Ask whether further testing may be necessary.

The first step to getting red lips is getting rid of dry, flaky skin that builds up and hides their natural color. Sloughing away the dead skin brightens your lips, brings out their inner red color and prepares them to take on a stain. Here's how to make and use your own scrub: Mix 1 teaspoon honey and 1 teaspoon brown sugar. Scrub the mixture into your lips in a circular motion. Rinse the mixture away with warm water. Repeat as necessary. Sometimes a basic lip scrub isn't enough to get rid of the dead skin. Using a soft-bristled toothbrush will do the trick. Choose a clean toothbrush, wet it with warm water, and gently scrub your lips in a circular motion. Rinse your lips. They should be left bright, plump and renewed. Increasing circulation to your lips makes them look plumper and redder. You can naturally make your lips a little plumper by using cinnamon or another spicy household item on your lips. Just rub a little on, wait a few minutes, then rinse your lips. You can use any of the following as a natural lip plumper: 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper mixed with a few drops of water 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon mixed with a few drops of water 5 drops of peppermint essential oil or peppermint extract A piece of fresh ginger rubbed over your lips Now that your lips have been exfoliated and plumped, it's time to make them soft and supple. This will help them keep their color longer and prevent them from drying out. Use any of the following ingredients as a lip serum; just rub it on your lips and wait a few minutes for it to absorb: 1/2 teaspoon coconut oil 1/2 teaspoon olive oil 1/2 teaspoon almond oil
Summary: Use a natural lip scrub. Try a toothbrush. Use a natural lip-plumper. Moisten them with a homemade serum.
