Reduce Blood Pressure with Hibiscus:
A recent study found that drinking eight ounces of hibiscus tea three times a day for six weeks reduced test participants' systolic (top number) blood pressure by an average of seven points—about as much as with standard hypertension drugs. People with higher blood pressure had an even larger drop. Pure (unbleached) hibiscus tea can be found on the Internet or in health food stores. Note: This does not mean you shouldn’t be seen by a physician. (Diane L. McKay, PhD., USDA Human Nutrition Research Center on Aging, Tufts University Boston.)

Blue and Yellow Toys are More Fun for Dogs:
Blue and yellow are vivid colors for dogs, whose color vision is more limited than that of humans. A red toy thrown onto green grass may be difficult for a dog to retrieve, but a yellow one will stand out. (TuffsYourDog.com)

Clear Sinuses by Humming a Happy Tune:
The vibration you feel along the roof of your mouth and in your nasal cavity and sinuses when you hum can clear sinuses no matter the cause of congestion. By humming, the gas exchange (swapping stale, damp, infected air for fresh air) between the nasal passage and sinuses can be as high as 98% during one exhalation. By contrast, the gas exchange rate during normal exhalation is only about 5%. Poor gas exchange and poor circulation in the sinus cavities can promote bacterial growth and infection.  Therefore, hum several times a day and watch for improvement. (Natural Solutions Magazine)
