To soothe a cough or cold

For cold and fl u symptoms, it is

recommended to take one teaspoon

of Manuka Honey, 3-4 times per day.

5 ways to feel your best this October

1. Ditch the wine and nod off faster

Think a before bedtime beverage

helps you fall asleep faster? Dream

on! Researchers from Rhode Island

looked at how well people slept after

a bit of alcohol and discovered they

had a harder time falling asleep. When

women had a drink 90 minutes before

bed, they slept okay for the � rst two

hours but tossed and turned the rest of

the night.

Hint... A cup of decaf herbal tea or warm

milk (both proven sleep aids) will provide

a more restful sleep.

2. Quit eating ice-cold salads

Eat foods in season this fall. An ice-cold

salad in October probably doesn’t call

your name multiple nights a week,

right? Fall is a time for transition, &

embracing what nature brings us.

Think hearty vegetables like carrots,

beets and turnips.

Hint…Dust o� that crockpot and come

home after a long day of work to dinner

already made.

3. Eat walnuts and lose weight

Harvard researchers have found that

walnuts could help women slim down

and manage weight with ease. Women

who ate walnuts regularly tended to

weigh less.

Hint...Eat a handful of walnuts a day as

your mid-afternoon snack.

4. Fight off dry skin with a massage

Give yourself a massage every morning

before your shower. The heat of the

shower will open the pores, helping the

skin to absorb the oil. Mahanarayan oil

is a great warming oil, and is particularly

good for aching joints and pain.

Hint...Essential oils like lavender are

also very soothing and smell great.

5. Keep your closet colourful

We all know that colour absorbs light;

therefore, we should avoid wearing too

much black and dark blue during the fall.

Too much black leaves us with a feeling

of vastness and emptiness, and these

moods are already heightened during

this season.

Hint…Wear warm colors like oranges,

yellows and reds.
