| | | Chillies might help you burn extra calories
Chillies don't just add kick to your salad, they can also pep up your body's ability to burn calories for hours. The compound capsaicin is found in chillies and boosts your metabolism slightly, increasing the energy your body burns during digestion. But don't make your food so hot that you'll want to wash it down with a basketful of bread. Eating capsaicin may curb your appetite for 3 hours, say researchers. | | | | | | B.S.

| | | Drink water in the morning to wake up
When you get up in the morning you are dehydrated from going 6-9 hours without any liquids. Before you leave for work, or before you eat breakfast, drink a full glass of cool (not cold) water. It will hydrate you, wake you up, and even make you a little fuller so you will not feel the need to eat as large a breakfast. Some people even find they no longer need coffee when they drink a glass of water in the morning. | | | | | | Christina in Woodside, NY | Tips Published: 1

| | | How to get the most out of a doctor visit
Doctors only have 15 minutes to see a patient. To help them help you, organize your problem in the way they think: onset (when did it start), location (where does it hurt), duration (how long has it been hurting), character (what type of pain is it), modifiers (what makes it better or worse), radiation (does the pain move anywhere), temporal (what pattern does the pain have), associated symptoms, prior history, family history of same problem. | | | | | | Ajit in Houston, TX | Tips Published: 10

| | | Help your physician simplify your medications
If you find yourself having to take many pills everyday, ask your physician if there is a once a day formulation, or an alternative medication with similar effects that is once a day. Oftentimes, doctors prescribe what they are familiar with, without thinking about the inconvenience to the patient. | | | | | | Ajit in Houston, TX | Tips Published: 10

| | | How to slowly start exercising
Start walking block by block. You have blocks in you neighborhood that can be your guide. If your really overweight start with one block then work up to two, three etc... If you walk but want to run use the same concept. Walk a block run a block until eventually you can run two, three and so on. | | | | | | amy in edmond, ok | Tips Published: 2

| | | How to lose weight effectively
Stick to one serving of cereal. For most people, a typical pour of breakfast cereal is equal to two servings. If you're trying to lose weight, trim calories by accurately measuring one serving into your bowl (usually that means ¾ - 1 cup, however, cereal serving sizes vary so you must regularly check the package labeling on your favorite brands and varieties). | | | | | | younis in srinagar, Jammu and Kashmir | Tips Published: 1

| | | How to keep track of your medications
If you take a lot of medications, the best way to help your doctor out is to take all the prescription bottles, put them in a Ziploc bag, and bring them with you to your appointment. If you would rather not bring everything, write down these important tidbits: name (brand/generic), dosage, how you take it, and when you take it. For example, I might take Aspirin 81 mg by mouth once a day. | | | | | | KC in Houston, TX | Tips Published: 7
