Want a flood of endorphins?  Take a splash!

3/22/2018

After lathering up in a warm shower, do a 30 second blast of cold water!  Once the initial shock wears off, you will feel more invigorated as blood flows away from the surface of your body toward your core to try and conserve heat.  One study found that it actually helps release endorphins, so that your polar bear moment could have an antidepressant effect.

Want to eliminate bloat??

3/14/2018

I often suffer from bloat for many reasons, flying (in an airplane), eating cold foods, irregular routine, and driving in the city.  All activities that increase the air in my system and therefore the bloat that goes with it.  One of the best ways I have found to combat the feeling of exploding is to drink a tonic made from cumin, coriander and fennel.  

Flat Belly Tea for Two!
  • 500 mL water
  • 1/4 tsp. cumin seeds
  • 1/4 tsp. coriander seeds
  • 1/4 tsp. fennel seeds
Set the water to boil.  Meanwhile, toast the seeds in a dry skillet over medium heat, until they release their aroma.  Transfer the seeds to a pestle and mortar and lightly bruise.  Remove the boiling water from the heat source and steep the seeds in the water for 5 minutes or cool enough to drink.  Strain out the seeds and serve.
