Sore Throat is common during winters. The best thing to do is to gargle with warm salt water (1 teaspoon salt dissolved in one glass of water) at least a few times a day. It eases the scorching feeling in your throat. It works by improving the circulation around the throat area. It also cleans the pharynx, thus enabling your immune system to be more potent.
Gargling with an infusion made of henna leaves (mehandi leaves) also has been proven to heal a sore throat as it has antibacterial properties.
Without doubt, your feet are the most active part of your body, even more than your hands. Therefore it is very much essential that one must take extra care of their feet in order to avoid having foot problems.

Eating too much saturated fat Saturated fats ‑- in meats, poultry, milk and butter ‑- can boost “bad” and total cholesterol and send you down the path of heart disease. Go Mediterranean, and train your palate to prefer monounsaturated fats found in canola, olive and peanut oil and polyunsaturated fats found in safflower, corn and flaxseed oil
- The darker the brew, the more damaging it is for you. Choose vodka, white wine or other transparent drinks over anything dark. Dark drinks are full of tannins that your body has to work hard to break down.
- Drink a little fizzy water and feel the bubbles reoxygenate your blood. This relaxes your body and allows it to get on with recovering.
- Be a couch potato. Alcohol puts a strain on your body, especially your heart, liver and brain. Your body is working hard to pump the unwanted fluid out of your body. Exercise could, in extreme situations, cause cardiac arrest. You have full permission to do nothing. Stay in bed, read a book or operate the remote control… but very slowly.
- Drink water. Dehydration’s the main reason for feeling bad after indulging. Alcohol is a diuretic – it encourages your body to lose fluids. So before, during and after your “session” drink at least three pints of water.
- Before heading out, put a big bottle of water and some sliced fruit next to your bed. Later, every time you awake from a fitful sleep, take eight gulps of water and eat three slices of fruit. Stay sitting for the count of ten, then go back to sleep. Vitamins from the fruit pump antioxidants through you and sitting up briefly aids digestion and prevents acid reflux.
- A healthy breakfast is the quickest route to recovery. Try yogurt, fresh fruits such as oranges, cranberries and bananas, and porridge and honey. No matter how tempting a fry-up is, greasy fat and oil will churn up your insides and sit in your stomach, making you feel more sluggish.
