9 Simple Health Boosting Tips

By: Carmel Cabrera

Here are 9 very simple and quick tips to boost your health and put some zing into your life. Ready? Here goes....
A cup of tea in the morning
Yes, a morning cuppa. According to a review in the International Journal of Cancer, hot tea can slash your risk of kidney cancer by 15 percent. Try pu-erh tea, which is better than green or black tea at preventing DNA damage.
Sleep smarter..zzzzz
Get things right here because too much sleep, or not enough of it, can kill you! A British study found that getting more than 9 hours of sack time a night, or less than 6, doubles your risk of an early death from any cause. So aim for 7 to 8 hours a night.
Pop in your lenses after showering.
Soaping up while wearing your contacts can expose your eyes to infection-causing waterborne microbes, say University of Illinois at Chicago researchers.
If you want to stay lean, drink wine.
Polyphenols, the compounds found in red wine, help your body block fat absorption, an Israeli study found. Red-wine marinades work, too.
Lose the lint..no joke!
Try not to chuckle...Taking 2 seconds to empty the lint trap in your clothes dryer can thwart you from being one of the 315 dryer-fire victims every year in the United States.
Sit back....and relax.
Parking your torso at a 90-degree angle can put unnecessary strain on your spine, say Scottish and Canadian researchers. Instead, give your chair the La-Z-Boy treatment and recline the seat back slightly. The ideal angle is 45 degrees off vertical.
Build up your defenses
An Archives of Internal Medicine review reports that 400 IU of vitamin D a day lessens your risk of an early death by 7 percent. The best way to get your vit D is sunlight, at least 15 mins a day.
Ditch the spray...
Use wipes instead. Using household spray cleaners just once a week increases your risk of an asthma attack by a staggering 76 percent, say Spanish researchers.
Steam your broccoli
Italian researchers recently discovered that steaming broccoli increases its concentration of glucosinolates (compounds found to combat cancer) by 30 percent. Boiling actually lowers the levels.

Bear these 9 simple tips in mind and your health will get a big boost.
