Rosehips for Swollen Eyes
Reduce swelling/bags under eyes, brew a cup of strong rosehip tea.
Soak 2 cotton balls in the tea, lie down and place over the eyes.
One small rosehip has about 10 mg of Vitamin C, and some Vitamin A. Different species of rosehips contain different amounts of Vitamin C. Rosehips ripen in early autumn, but are best for eating after the third frost. When processing rosehips, remember Vitamin C loss is greater in copper and aluminum pots than in enamel or glass.
If you're a stickler for stretching before exercise, think about bending the rules. There's no good evidence that static stretching -- the kind where you stretch and hold a muscle for a set
period of time -- reduces the risk of injury when performed before a workout. However, stretching in general still does a body good by increasing flexibility. Bottom line: do stretching whenever you
want. They don't have to precede a workout.
"Patience is not passive; on the contrary, it is active; it is concentrated strength."
