A study published in The Journal of Clinical Gastroenterology found that lying on the left side can help reduce acid reflux symptoms. Again this is because our stomach lies on the left side. Conversely, lying on the right side may aggravate these symptoms. The effects are fairly immediate; if you’re struggling with heartburn after a meal, try taking a 10-minute lie-down on your left side. https://www.lifehack.org//this-why-you-should-sleep-your-l

Why do we blow out birthday candles? As it turns out, putting candles on birthday cakes is a tradition that has been around for a long, long time. It can be traced back to the Ancient Greeks, who often burned candles as offerings to their many gods and goddesses. For the Ancient Greeks, putting candles on a cake was a special way to pay tribute to the Greek moon goddess, Artemis. They baked round cakes to symbolize the moon. Candles were added to represent the reflected moon...light. Candles on cakes became a popular tradition long ago in Germany, too. For religious reasons, Germans would place a large candle in the center of a cake to symbolize the light of life. Some scholars believe that other meanings have also been attached to the use of candles on cakes. People may have believed that the smoke from the candles carried their wishes and prayers to gods who lived in the skies. Others probably believed the smoke helped to ward off evil spirits.

Immune-boosting superfoods for winter. Almonds Vitamin E is one of the keys to a healthy immune system. It is fat-soluble, so it has to have fat to be absorbed properly. Nuts, like almonds, are packed with both vitamin E and healthy fats. A half a cup (about 46 whole, shelled almonds) contains your daily recommended dose. Other foods that are rich in vitamin E include sunflower seeds, avocados, and dark leafy greens. ... Blueberries Antioxidants help fight colds and support immune health. Berries are a rich source of antioxidants, but on average, wild blackberries, blueberries, raspberries, and strawberries contain 81% more antioxidants than their cultivated counterparts. Broccoli Cruciferous vegetables such as broccoli, Brussels sprouts, cabbage, and cauliflower can strengthen the overall immune system by boosting enzymes that help fight cold and flu germs. This superfood provides three types of antioxidants: vitamins C, E, and A. They are also rich in folate (vitamin B-9) and fiber. Broccoli is most nutritious when eaten raw. If you prefer it cooked, give it a light steam. Citrus Fruits Our bodies need Vitamin C to produce antibodies that fight infections. Vitamin C is thought to increase the production of white blood cells, which are key to fighting infections. Older people tend to have lower levels of Vitamin C. The best sources for the super-vitamin are fruits and vegetables, including citrus fruits, tomatoes and tomato juice, and potatoes. Popular citrus fruits include grapefruit, oranges, tangerines, lemons, limes, and clementines. Other great sources of vitamin C are papayas, red and green peppers, kiwi, broccoli, strawberries, Brussels sprouts, and cantaloupe. Vitamin C can also lessen the duration and intensity of sickness. Eggs Eggs provide Vitamin D, which combined with vitamin C, boosts the immune system to fight off colds and the flu. This is a great excuse to have orange juice with your breakfast. Eggs are such an easy food to incorporate into your diet, with plenty of ways to prepare so you don't tire of them quickly. Flaxseeds Ground flaxseeds boast multiple health benefits. Flaxseeds contain a group of nutrients (lignans) that have formidable antioxidant properties. You have to grind them up to get to the good stuff though, our tummies can't get past their hard shell. Add a tablespoon to your oatmeal, smoothie, bread, muffins, or yogurt. See more

.... there is currently nothing definitive in the science showing that melatonin can protect against the most serious effects of COVID-19. But there are indications that melatonin may reduce the severity of the disease, and the overblown immune response and subsequent severe damage to the lungs that is present in the virus’ most critically ill patients. https://www.psychologytoday.com//could-melatonin-help-prot
