QUIETS CREAKY JOINTS
Hot cocoa
Shoveling your driveway, scraping ice off the windshield, traipsing through slushy parking lots… If cold-weather activities leave you with achy joints, sipping hot cocoa could provide relief in minutes. That’s the word from Swedish researchers, who found that cocoa’s unique mix of healing plant compounds dials down pain-triggering inflammation.
SOOTHES SORE MUSCLES
The scent of a tree
The air is crisp, the sun is sparkling off of snowdrifts and birds are flitting from tree to tree. Yet for two in three of us, stiff muscles dampen our enjoyment of this winter wonderland. Fortunately, Australian investigators say standing near a tree and breathing in its aroma could help us feel more limber and flexible. That’s because inhaling the aromatic compounds released by trees instantly relaxes tight muscles and flushes out the pain-triggering hormone cortisol.
