It seems to you that your life has altered, that it is no longer as good as it once was? Not to lengthen too much, you are not happy with yourself or your life. Try to apply some of the tips we bring you. You won’t need more than two minutes for each of them. Well, let’s go, without any special order.

Laugh before you get the vaccine

Today, vaccines are something that is talked about several times in just one day. They substantially reduce the risk of getting sick and preventing further sexual activities. The most significant thing is to cheer yourself up: being in a positive mood on the day of vaccination can increase the effectiveness of the vaccine, by forcing your immune system to improve the antibody response, according to one study. Before you roll up your sleeve, watch some funny videos or flip through your holiday photos.

Are you diabetic? Eat this “dessert”

To stabilize your blood sugar after a meal, try eating carbs at the end. According to one study, people with type 2 diabetes ate a chicken sandwich: 1) whole with a 10-minute break between the two halves; 2) bread first, chicken/vegetables 10 min later; 3) chicken/vegetables first, bread 10 min later. Option three reduced blood sugar levels and insulin response by three hours.

Rest on one leg

To improve the balance and health of their articles, personal trainers end the training with a variation of the sobriety test: Stand with arms outstretched and eyes closed. Lift one leg and hold it in that position for up to a minute. Change sides and repeat. This will strengthen the tendons and ligaments in your joints, knees and hips. Balance on one leg also predicts longevity.

Let this be your new lunch

Daily meal replacement with a shake is among the least used tools for managing your own weight, says osteopathy doctors. Mix a little vanilla powder, half a cup of blueberries and a handful of chopped walnuts with water or milk. Don’t have a blender? Mix the protein with the water and eat the rest on the side. It has few calories, and you will be quite full.

Happy marriage, happy heart

Researchers followed married Britons for 19 years to see how the ups and downs in an emotional relationship affect their risk of heart disease. It turns out that married couples who work to improve and perfect their relationship pretend to have less bad cholesterol and more moderate body weight, while “worsened” marriages are associated with increased diastolic (lower) blood pressure. Yes, keep your marriage in check, read the following advice.

Look at each other

Sit towards your partner so that your knees are touching and look each other in the eyes without talking, for two minutes. Successful experiments show that this increases the feeling of attachment, even among strangers. When you have time, do this for four minutes.

Expand each menu immediately

Menu engineers (yes, they exist) know that restaurant visitors naturally tend to review the central part of the menu first; then they go from the right, from the top to the left. That’s where restaurants want to put in the highest-grossing product, says Aaron Allen, a restaurant consultant. Don’t be fooled: think outside the box that is imposed on you, to make the best possible food choice.

Sneeze like a vampire

Just having a few minutes to teach your kids “vampire sneezing” will help protect you from the countless bacteria that these little ones have. Think of a game, to sneeze into his bent part of his arm — like Dracula when he wants to hide his face under a cloak — instead of himself in his arm, air or in you.

Take more than garlic

To get the most out of the garlic that affects your immune system, chop a few cherries and let the pieces stand for a few minutes. This promotes the formation of allicin, which has an antioxidant effect. Mix the garlic in the salad dressing or fry it while stirring or mix with the cream cheese and use it as a topping.

Lose weight by lowering the temperature

In the early years of the 20th century, the average winter temperature in homes was 62 F, by the end of that century it was 76 F. If we go back to the mid-60s, you would make the bodywork much harder to keep you warm, increasing its energy consumption by 10 per cent and thus consuming up to 300 extra calories per day.

Visits – literally

To develop mighty muscles you also need to lift big weights. But there is also a side effect: tight spinal discs from heavy squats, deadlifts and shoulder presses. “Hanging from the joint bar stretches the back muscles and makes space for blood to flow between the discs. Visit at a 30-second interval, or whenever you feel stiff.

Topping with the best oil

Scientists have found that our bodies better absorb eight nutrients (including Beta carotene and necessary vitamins A, E and K) when we eat a vegetable salad with soybean oil. And the more oil (up to two tablespoons), the more ingredients are absorbed. Look for organic non-hydrogenated oils as a base for your topping or make your own mix.

Drink this before meals

Are you afraid you’re going to overeat in a pub? Nutrition counsellors recommend making a “snack” of two minutes before you leave the house: mix a little whey protein with water. It can help you reduce your intake of too many calories in a restaurant where meals tend to be too plentiful and high in calories.

Say YES to the garden salad

The kale craze has become old-fashioned. For a new, fresh meal choice, throw out kale or similar greens and add watercress salad. Watercress is also full of essential nutrients and typically provides a lively and spicy snack that raises salads, prepared food and shakes to a higher level.
