1. Propolis Is a Natural Antibiotic
It’s made by honeybees and has been used since ancient times as a natural antibiotic. Propolis, sold in health food stores, helps heal minor cuts and sores. Put some in your home medicine cabinet, and use it the next time you have a minor cut or scrape.
2. Eat less deli.
Deli meats are often packed with salts, nitrates, and preservatives that can be bad for your heart. Instead, go for whole chicken breasts or in-house roasted turkey.
3. Fish Oil Is Good for You
For women, fish oil capsules help prevent osteoporosis, heart disease, and depression. Fish oil is a source of Omega-3 fatty acids. You can get them in foods such as cold-water fish, walnuts, and canola oil. Take fish oil capsules daily to get your share of Omega-3s.
4. Good walking
Start with two miles per day – one out and one back. (Measure the distance with your car.) Do that three days a week for a month, then double the distance, working gradually up to at least four miles a day, three days a week.
5. Lower blood pressure
Eating less sodium can help lower blood pressure in some people, reducing their risk of heart disease. While sodium is something we need in our diets, most of us eat too much of it. Easy tip: Avoid adding salt to foods at the table.
