5 Simple Health Hacks You Can Use Every Day

1- Smell the skin of an orange for a natural mood booster.

Studies have shown that orange essential oil helps boost mood and alertness, and can reduce anxiety. If you don't keep the fresh fruit on hand, buy some bottled oil and dab a drop on each wrist or massage into your temples for the same effect.

2- Get in touch with your appetite by eating ​˜mindfully˜​. This means eating your meals without any distractions.

Put simply, mindful eating means sitting down at a table instead of in front of a screen and chewing your food slowly, rather than scarfing it down. You're more in touch with how hungry you actually are this way and are less likely to overeat.

3- Put a tissue with a few drops of lavender oil inside your pillowcase before bed.

This easy, at home ~aromatherapy~ trick will help you sleep deeply and peacefully.

4- Do as your dentist says, and floss your teeth.

Flossing is important for gum health and will make your mouth feel super fresh. A new study has shown that flossing can even play a role in preventing heart disease.

5- Take care of your eyes by following the 20/20/20 rule.

Staring at a backlit device such as a smartphone or laptop all day is straining on your eyes. The 20/20/20 rule reduces this. Every 20 minutes, take a 20 second break and let your eyes wander over something six meters (20 ft) in the distance.
