HEALTH TIPS

Keep your face cool

To get a firming fix, stash your face creams in the refrigerator and apply them chilled, noted Patricia Wexler, MD, a dermatologist in New York, United States. "The cold constricts blood vessels and deflates any puffiness, giving skin a tauter, more toned look," she explained. Or apply cold compresses to your skin for five to 10 minutes.

Salty foods bad for your brain

Research is now suggesting that foods that contain high amounts of salt (sodium) can affect your cognitive function and impair your ability to think. In fact, the consumption of salty foods and nicotine has been shown to have the same effects as drugs, as they cause harsh withdrawal symptoms and cravings for salty foods. Of course, you already know that salty foods affect your blood pressure and are very hard on your heart.
