Daily Tip

“ Use your knuckle to rub your eyes. It's less likely to be contaminated with viruses than your fingertip. ”

Bonus Tip

“ Based on research published in Nature magazine, olive oil might be a natural treatment for aches and pains. Researchers found that adding 1.75 ounces of olive oil to your daily diet has anti-inflammatory properties equal to about 10 percent of a normal adult dose of ibuprofen. While this might seem small, over time, the medicinal properties could build up to measurably reduce inflammatory pain. ”
