UNUSUAL TREATMENTS

Not all cures come from the doctor’s office! Here’s a list of unusual but effective treatments, from The Health Watch Center:



Cherries make you stronger. They don’t work like spinach does for Popeye, but in one study, drinking 12 ounces of cherry juice after a tough workout increased muscle mass and reduced aches and pains the next day.



Your cell phone can help you quit smoking. In a University of Auckland study, people who received daily encouragement by text message doubled their chances of kicking the habit. So, set a quit date and ask your family and friends to text you until you’re smoke-free for 30 days.
The 3rd crazy cure that’ll improve your life:


Blue light fixes bad breath. Researchers at the Forsyth Institute found that exposing your mouth to blue light kills problem bacteria. So, replace your regular bathroom bulb with a blue one and brush and floss everyday.


Music beats back pain. According to a study done at Sheffield University, people who listened to music for an hour a day reduced their back pain by more than 20 percent. Turns out, music is a natural muscle relaxant, so it eases pain without medication.
