The Tabata programme was developed by physiologists at the National Institute of Fitness and Sport in Tokyo to boost overall fitness quickly.It consists of 20 seconds of maximum intensity exercise, followed by ten seconds of rest. This cycle should be repeated eight times in succession for a total of four minutes a day.You can choose from a range of exercises including hitting a heavy bag, sprinting, skipping, indoor cycling and fast-paced squat-thrusts, but you must put all your effort into them.
• Take your trainers out of the car...says Mike O'Neil, a podiatric surgeon based at Princess Margaret Hospital, Windsor.Don't leave your training shoes in the car: the heat of the car and the damp, sweaty soles create a perfect environment for fungal infections such as athlete's foot to flourish.Buy shoes at the end of the day, when your feet are largest.

• Avoid headaches by sticking to a routine...says Dr Andrew Dowson, director of headache services at King's College Hospital, London. Stick to a routine if you want to avoid headaches. Migraine used to be known as weekend headaches, as sufferers most often got them on Saturdays and Sundays.This is because the hypothalamus in the brain, which governs the central nervous system and many other functions in the body, is very sensitive to changes in routine.So when we sleep in late, stop or start exercising or eat irregularly - as is common at the weekend - this can disrupt the function of the hypothalamus, triggering headaches and migraine. Try to eat every three hours and sleep for roughly the same amount of time every night. Exercising for around half an hour three times a week is excellent for general health.
  
• Sleep on your back...says Alex Karidis, plastic surgeon based at St John and St Elizabeth Hospital in London.This will help prevent wrinkles. If you sleep on your side or face down, pressure on the face literally causes the skin to wrinkle.This is particularly true of the nasal-labial fold, which is the line that runs from the nose to the mouth. Laughter lines can also form from sleeping this way as the skin around the eyes is particularly thin.Whenever you wake up during the night and find yourself on your side or front, switch to sleeping on your back again.
  
• Shampoo hair 3x only: I make a paste with baking soda and water, massage this into my scalp and rinse well. next I spray a solution of one part cider vinegar to four parts water on to the ends of my hair and again rinse well. cleans and detangles. makes my hair feel very soft. Oil hair: For beautiful and strong hair, massage your scalp with hair oil and leave it overnight. You can also use a steamed towel to cover your hair for half an hour for best results. This gives your hair a shiny and lustrous look.Oiling your hair everyday would be too much to ask for. But do this at least three x a week for beautiful hair . It does make a lot of difference if you keep doing this regularly as it is bound to show on your hair.The massaging and oiling of your hair stimulates the blood circulation, which in return helps your hair. Due to the oil your hair is protected from the strong and hot sun rays. The oil also gives your hair that extra shine.Some of the most popular and very beneficial oils which are being used for beautiful long hair with indefinite good qualities are Jojoba Oil - can be used for dry hair as it helps to moisturize your hair properly. It helps to soften your hair and can be used to detangle your hair before shampooing.Olive Oil - strengthens your hair and nourishes it due to inherent qualities it has. It helps to reduce stress and promotes the idea of healthy hair by providing elasticity to your hair.Coconut Oil - is one of the oil which helps in the lubrication of the hair.

• Eat dried figs...says Dr Susan Lanham-New of the National Osteoporosis Society.Eat five dried figs a day. This will provide a third of your calcium needs as an adult.Add that to a couple of glasses of tap water, particularly in hard water areas, and 100g of watercress for the best bone protection.
