End restless sleep with a heated eye mask
Clocking a sound night's sleep has the power to cut cold and flu symptoms in half. What's more, experts say it can trim up to eight days off your recovery time, even if you're battling COVID-19. The catch? It's hard to snooze when you're stuffy and achy. To the rescue: a hot cloth or pack draped across your eyes. A study in Scientific Reports found warming the tiny blood vessels around the eyes for as little as 10 minutes fuels the release of delta brain waves that bring on deep, healing sleep.
OR SWITCH ON SOFTER LIGHTS!
Surrounding yourself with soft, ambient lighting an hour before bed increases your brain's production of sleep-inducing melatonin by as much as 100%, say Harvard scientists. That's enough to help you enjoy up to 90 more minutes of blissful sleep.
The one-a-day way to beat any virus!
When it comes to conquering viruses, two nutrients stand above the crowd: zinc, which destroys germs in your nose and throat, and selenium, which inactivates viruses in the lungs. No wonder research in BMC Infectious Diseases suggests that taking a daily multi containing 25 mg. of zinc and 200 mcg. of selenium cuts infection risk by 68%. And if you do fall ill, it curbs symptoms by 75% and helps you recover 68% faster.
