First aid from the kitchen
1. Honey. Honey's a sweet stand-in if you find yourself without a First Aid Kit this summer. Apply to a cut or sting to halt inflammation and prevent bacterial growth. Honey's healing powers come from natural enzymes that produce hydrogen peroxide.
2. Peaches. Reach for a peach. One whiff can reduce the feeling of pain, lift spirits, and give you a sense of well-being.
3. Green Beans....just one cup has nearly 1 mg iron - almost as much as a 3-oz portion of steak.
4. Watermelon. It's loaded with Vitamin C --- a cup of watermelon contains more than 20% of your daily need in fewer than 50 calories.
5. Women can lower their chance of a heart attack by 32% with 3 servings of strawberries and blueberries a week.
