A shower is so much more than just a way to clean ourselves. A shower is a morning wake up call, a natural stress relief, an aroma therapy, a bed time story…

However, the skin is the biggest organ in our body. And skin is directly affected by the shower. And through skin many other things can directly affect other organs and metabolitical processes.

Here are some things to think about the next time you take a shower.

Take contrasted showers – once you’re done with the whole shower process, turn on the shower to its fullest. This way, the full shower pressure will directly influence your body pressure, making it even out.

Bathing every single day

The skin creates a surface layer needed for our body to protest itself from outer bacteria and other influences, such as the UV rays. Washing off that layer on a daily bases with all the chemical ingredients, just to smell good, is not such a good idea. We’re not suggesting not to shower every day – just make sure you don’t rub yourself on a daily bases and rinse off with just pure water without any shower gels.

Shower after workout

It’s a natural demand from your body! You want to wash off that smell and sticky sweat, and release the tension from the muscles after a workout. However, don’t cool the body after a workout, taking long walks home, dinner or similar. Make sure to take a shower as soon as possible after the workout, even at the gym if they have one.

Regularly clean the head of the shower

Bacteria and desalination are typical for shower surfaces. Make sure you clean your shower and the shower head at least twice a week.

Never wrap a towel around your hair after showering

Though this is something you see in magazines and TV, it’s not a healthy habit. Wet hair tends to fall off more and the natural oil the scalp produces are scrubbed off with the towel, making your hair look dry and with no volume.

Don’t leave the razor in the shower

We all shave off some hair which is not supposed to be there while showering. However, always take the razor out of the shower because moist makes the iron of the razor to corrode way faster than usual.

The soap dish always has to be dry

Never forget to close the soap right after finishing it, and take out the extra fluids the soap made from time to time. Extra moist is always a perfect place for bacteria and fungus to develop, and you definitely don’t want them in your clean shower place.

Clean the bathtub

If you still have a bathtub instead of a shower, it demands more work for cleaning it. The material the bathtub is made from tends to get bacteria and dirt way more than the tiles in the shower. Always make sure you scrub the bathtub at least twice a week with a scrubbing brush. 

Don’t leave the sponge wet

Like we said, wet grounds are suitable for fungus and bacteria to develop, and you definitely don’t want that on your sponge, the thing you want to wash off bacteria and dirt from your body with instead of just applying more of them on yourself, right?

Always wash and scrub your feet thoroughly

Yes, you’re very tired after the long day or the exhausting workout, and extra bending down is sometimes the last thing on your mind. But don’t forget that the feet and the places between your fingers are the things that collected most of the bacteria through the day. The point of the shower is getting yourself clean, not just smelling good, right?

You’re probably sleeping wrong, because a scientific study showed the perfect sleep position for optimal rest. And when you consider that you’re spending one third of the day sleeping, this might not be so good for your lifespan and overall body health…

Sleep deprivation and insomnia are already proven to be related to stress, heart attacks or nerve racks. So you better read this and prevent all this and so much more.

How to know if you’re sleeping in the wrong position? Well, first of all

• You don’t feel rested in the morning,
• You wake up every hour,
• You feel chronic pain in the neck, the chest or somewhere else in your body,
• You wake up with a headache,
• You feel stiffed,
• Your partner tells you that you were snoring like crazy.

These are all signs that the position of sleeping is not suitable for you and your good night’s rest.

Here are some tips how NOT to sleep and how to IMPROVE your sleeping position:

Sleeping on the stomach

• Don’t sleep on your stomach if you sleep on a high and firm pillow, because this will cause neck and back pain for sure, and on longer stages, it might even cause scoliosis
• Try sleeping without a pillow for your head, or use many little, soft pillows to support your arms, belly, back while sleeping on the stomach
• Try the “U shape” pillows, specially designed for pregnant women

Sleeping on the back

• Don’t use a firm or high pillow to sleep on your back either, because you will feel the same pain in the neck and the spine and lower back. Using a hard and high pillow is actually never a good idea
• Use a pillow to put it below your feet or knees for a better spine support and reducing the possible snoring this position contributes to

Sleeping on the side

• Use a pillow to put between your knees to prevent you lower back making an “s shape” while sleeping and thus, feeling a lower back pain in the morning
• Hugging a pillow might also help the neck and jaw pain most side sleepers feel in the morning
• Always sleep on the side if you feel heartburn or increased acid in your gut, also, if you’re a heavy snorer, make sleeping on the side an everyday habit

Follow these advices and always check what’s wrong with you at the moment. If you snore, sleep on the side, if you have acid reflux, switch sides, if you have back pain, put an additional support pillow between your knees.

It seems that sleeping on the side is the best suitable position for any kind of pain and struggles – you just have to guess the right pillow to sleep on!

According to statistics, there are more than 50 million arthritis patients in the U.S. only. On a daily basis, they are looking for different method to manage the pain, inflammation, and discomfort.

The conventional treatment is consisted of pain meds; however, they do not resolve the root of the problem. This being said, even though there is no official arthritis diet, a lot of research points out that removing inflammatory foods can decrease the inflammation and help you deal with arthritis naturally.

The 9 Foods You Should Avoid If You Have Arthritis

Gluten and wheat

These ingredients cause inflammation in the body, especially in those who are intolerant to them. A lot of studies associate leaky gut and increased gut permeability with joint ache. Leaky gut allows waste and toxins to penetrate the bloodstream through the intestines. These by-products are considered a threat so the body activates an immune response. This response triggers inflammation in the joints and around.

Dairy

Dairy may lead to arthritis flare ups because of the protein they have known as casein. In some people, this protein may cause irritation of the joint tissue. A lot of arthritis patients have switched to a vegan diet which is free of animal products.

Corn oil

Foods rich in omega-6 fatty acids can lead to inflammation. Overindulging on this fatty acid is very easy because it is found in a lot of foods. Other oils you need to avoid are canola, soybean, rice brain, sunflower oil, and cottonseed.

Processed foods

According to what researchers at the Mount Sinai School of Medicine found, reducing fried and processed foods like dry meat and frozen meals can lower inflammation and strengthen the body’s defense.

Preservatives and salt

Nowadays, salt and preservatives are added to a lot of foods to either make them tastier or prolong their shelf life. Overconsumption can elevate the joint inflammation. Additives are also inflammatory.

Some veggies

Some veggies have solanine, a compound which causes negative physiological reactions in arthritis sufferers. These foods are peppers, potatoes, tomatoes, and eggplant. You can freely eat sweet potatoes, however.

Refined sugars

Processed sugar causes release of inflammatory messengers known as cytokines. Refined sugar is hidden on products under names like fructose and sucrose. To prevent this from happening, avoid eating pastry, candy bars, soda drinks, and store-bought fruit juices.

Tobacco and alcohol

People who smoke are at a higher risk of rheumatoid arthritis while alcoholics are more prone to gout.

Decrease AGEs

Advanced glycation end product is a toxin which is released when food is grilled, fried, heated, or pasteurized. It damages the proteins in the body and the body will try to break them apart with the help of cytokines-inflammatory messengers.

Eat These Foods Instead

According to the Arthritis Foundation, arthritis patients should eat more of these foods:

• Fish like mackerel, salmon, and tuna
• Tofu and edamame
• Avocados, walnuts, virgin oil
• Cherries
• Broccoli
• Green tea
• Grapefruits, limes, and oranges
• Brown rice and oatmeal
• Beans
• Garlic
