You may feel silly doing this, but if it works, who cares? Look at yourself in the mirror and smile, holding the smile for 10 seconds. Famed psychologist Dr. Robert Zajonc believed facial actions lead to changes in mood. In a 1989 study he found that participants who watched themselves smile in a mirror experienced a greater boost in mood than those who simply smiled. Take a good look at this happy intelligence, and share it today.
Are you “a little dragon” this morning from not enough sleep last night? How about this: Let’s change the saying from “sweet dreams” to “sour dreams” – because tart cherry juice may be the ticket to a good night’s sleep. In a study of insomniacs, those who drank 2 glasses of tart cherry juice a day slept nearly 90 minutes more each night than those who didn’t. It’s the naturally occurring melatonin/ in the juice that does the trick. If you want to get specific, Montmorency tart cherries have the highest concentration of melatonin. But any tart cherry juice should work. WOW! Restful sleep night after night will have you back for more and more intel from The John Tesh Radio Show!
We live in a jumbo sized world sometimes, it seems! But stay away from the jumbo sized bottle of olive oil. The antioxidants and omega-3 fatty acids drop off significantly after exposure to light and air. Your better solution- buy smaller bottles. If your oil tastes peppery, it’s still fresh. That’s the taste of the polyphenols. I bet there’s a sharp-eared cooking reader just waiting to hear how they’re about to become even better in the kitchen, and of course, will be anxious to come back for more that they hear from The John Tesh Radio Show!
An apple a day keeps the FAT away! (And a healthier weight can keep the DOCTOR away?!) New research in the journal Food Chemistry found that apples are one of the best foods for fighting cravings, and preventing overeating. Researchers say it’s the combination of fiber and polyphenols in apples. The fiber helps fill us up, and keep us feeling fuller, longer. And the polyphenols are known to help prevent chronic inflammation, which is a leading contributor to obesity. So, what are the best apples for helping us lose weight? Choose Granny Smiths. They generally contain the most fiber and polyphenols of any apple variety.
