Cracking Joints
People with cracking joints or who commonly crack their knuckles actually have less to worry about than once thought. If cracking joints also brings pain around the body, there could be an arthritis problem (for which you should see a doctor), but if your joints naturally 'pop' when you squat or lift heavy things, never fear, the word from WebMD's Doctors is you're 100% fine.

Bad Circulation?
Having bad circulation is more than just dealing with cold feet and hands. Its a sign that your heart is trying to hard to spread blood around the body. Take this as warning sign that you need more physical activity. Walk for at least 15 minutes a day, fast enough to keep your heart rate up, and you should sleep better and have better circulation.

Dark Circles?

Dark circles under the eyes can plague many people, and some of the ways to help fight them are simpler than you might think. Stay hydrated by drinking plenty of water, and get plenty of sleep. Most people need at least 8 hours a night to be fully rested. In addition, make sure to wear sunscreen to prevent sun damage from weakening the skin. Vitamin C will also help strengthen the blood vessel walls.

Can't Sleep?
Getting older brings on sleeping problems. One thing you may want to think about is taking Valerian. Its a natural tranquilizing herb that helps reduce insomnia and possibly anxiety. It triggers the same receptors as Valium...but no big drug company to pay.

Hearts on Fire

Is your heart always on fire? We're not talking about fiery love, but heartburn. STOP drinking sodas. It resonates in your system and irritates your heart (especially in a laying down position). Soda also will cause night time acid reflux over time. So stop drinking soda, but if you're addicted (like my mom) keep from drinking it 3 hours before bedtime.
