It’s knowing the little things in life that can be well worth knowing about. With this in mind, let’s start out with some of the things that can make you happier. No, it’s not winning a lot of money, and it’s not about romance or a great trip. Read on, and you will find out what they are:
1. Many people have trouble sleeping. They toss and turn or count sheep. There has been a study from Italy that states that in a study of patients who had sleep problems, when they received a nightly supplement of melatonin, which contained zinc and magnesium, they were able to sleep.
2. According to the American College of Obstetricians and gynecologists, vitamin D is very important because it plays a role in fetal bone development. It is not necessary to take it in pill form, because most people can get enough of this vitamin through exposure from the sun. Of course, during the winter months, this will be hard to do. If a woman feels she is not getting enough of this vitamin, she should definitely ask her doctor about this.
3. Lately, we have been hearing that broccoli is one of the best vegetables to get your vitamins. According to a study, nutritionists encourage people to eat more produce, especially cruciferous vegetables, such as broccoli, cabbage, arugula, and cauliflower.
4. Since many people have allergies, many hotels are offering hypo-allergenic rooms. If there are none available, you can request a room on the highest floor, and farthest from a swimming pool, where mold is less likely to grow. You can also tell them that you do not want a room that has freshening scents.
5. Several people are vulnerable to insect stings. There are several medications and diseases that make these people more vulnerable than others. This may be hard to believe, but this has been proven to be true by the Cedars-Sinai Medical Group located in Los Angeles. According to their information, patients who suffer from heart disease, high blood pressure, asthma or pulmonary disease, make these people more vulnerable to insect stings.
6. Individuals who take certain medications such as beta blockers or ACE inhibitors are also known to be
more prone to insect stings. Severe symptoms from insect stings and bug bites may include hives, itching,
swelling of the nose, lips, tongue, and throat. Dizziness, tightness in the chest and difficulty breathing, fainting, and loss of consciousness has also been known to occur due to insect bites. Because a sting can be life threatening for some people, it is very important to get medical care if they have some of these symptoms..
Hope at least one of these can be of help.
