TAKE LOTS OF VITAMIN C DAILY
especially if you're smoking...
>>>Vitamin C is water-soluble so it doesn't stay in our body like protein or other nutrients that we intake so it's best to have a daily dose of it. And you have to take lots of it if you're smoking. Why? Because when you smoke, even just a single stick of cigarette, you lose all the vitamin C you've taken from eating a whole orange. That's how smoking affects your vitamin intake. It destroys the nutrients you absorb from a healthy diet.
So if you can't quit smoking immediately, it's best that you take loads of vitamin C ( but don't overdose yourself) so you don't end up having vitamin deficiency or a bad dry skin.

DAILY HEALTH TIP #1
LESSEN YOUR CAFFEINE INTAKE...
Caffeine will make you look older
>>>Yes, caffeine can make you look older than your actual age. Because caffeine dehydrates your system, your skin will get dry resulting to early development of wrinkles. So if you're planning on sipping a cup of coffee or quenching your thirst with a can of soda, drink a glass of fresh juice instead. It will not only give your immune system a boost, the vitamins and nutrients (especially vitamin C) from fresh juice will also give you soft young-looking skin.

As Simple As That
Not feeling well, here are some simple tips/natural remedies for you...
Headache
If you're having a headache, try eating fish. It is common belief (I read it most of the time) that eating fish causes headache. It is not true. If you are taking fish oil supplements and complaining about headache, try checking the label. Perhaps there are other ingredients/substances in your supplement that may have caused your headache.
If it has a high level of Vitamin A, that may be causing it. It rarely happens but it could.
Stress and/or Sadness
If you're a busy person and can't go on a walk or a short vacation to relax, eat some bananas. Eating bananas (member of the happy fruit group) will not only make you feel lighter but is also a good substitute for junk food.
Stomachache
Drink a freshly brewed tea or chew on a freshly cut slice of ginger. The hot tea won't only give you a soothing relief but will also cleanse your stomach from toxins as well.
Sore Throat
Tea with honey is the best natural remedy. Chew some fresh ginger and swallow the juice. The taste may not be very good but the result is really satisfying.
Toothache
If your tooth has a hole, get a clove of garlic and cut a piece which will fit in it. Leave it there until the pain is gone.
