Apply acupressure to the muscle trigger points."
article: Start your massage using light strokes and avoiding too much pressure (a technique called effleurage). Start from the shoulder and move down the arm to the small muscles in your wrist and fingers.  Apply effleurage for at least 30 seconds to each section/muscle between your shoulder and hand. This will prepare the muscles for a deeper massage.  Use the palm of your hand and your thumb and fingers to apply the massage. You can concentrate on the muscles and tendons on the wrist but because carpal tunnel syndrome is rarely strictly a wrist problem, massaging the muscles in the arm and shoulder area may also be beneficial.  Optionally, you can use massage oil to reduce friction. Friction technique accelerates the return flow of lymphatic and venous drainage and relieves edema. It also works in the treatment of scar tissues and adhesions.   Apply deeper pressure using long, gliding strokes with your thumb. Start at the wrist area by pushing into the muscle in the center of the wrist, while gliding up to the elbow at the same time. Return back down the upper arm, into the elbow, forearm, and wrist. You can use your knuckles to provide more pressure without straining your hand. Apply enough pressure to feel the effect in the deep tissues but not so much that it causes severe pain. Also, massage your fingers and the palm of the hand by using light pressure and gentle stretches. Do at least 60 seconds of friction massage on each section/muscle, concentrating on the wrist but also working the knots and adhesions in the shoulder, arm and hand. The kneading technique, also called petrissage manipulation, causes the metabolic residues that have accumulated in the muscles and under the skin to join back into the circulation. Kneading may also improve the tonus and elasticity of your muscles.   Use the palm of your hand to apply kneading technique to the muscles in your shoulder and arm, and your thumb and fingers to knead the muscles in your hand and wrist. Do at least 30 seconds of kneading to each section/muscle, concentrating on the wrist area. Shaking manipulation is shown to have a pain-relieving effect, while strengthening your atonic muscles. Extend your fingers and use the side of your hand to gently strike the muscles.  You can also use the tips of your fingers or the heel to apply the technique. Do at least 30 seconds of shaking massage to each section/muscle, again concentrating on the wrist. The massage should start and end with light massaging (or effleurage).  Effleurage technique helps relax muscles and calms the nerves.  Do at least 30 seconds of effleurage manipulation to each section/muscle to finish the series of massaging techniques. After you have completed one hand, repeat the massage to your other shoulder, arm, wrist and hand. The number of massaging sessions you need varies depending on the severity of the carpal tunnel syndrome. Sometimes you may see a relief in just one session, but often times you should see improvement between five and 10 sessions.  If the symptoms persist or become worse, consult a doctor or a physical therapist. Acupressure spots, or more commonly known as trigger points or muscle knots, can refer pain to the carpal tunnel area. These spots can also be found in the neck and shoulder area. To fully get any benefit, it's important to see a health professional that is trained in trigger point or acupressure treatments.  Rest your forearm on a table, palm-up. Apply pressure to the muscles near the inside elbow — press down and see if this recreates your carpal tunnel pain. If it does, press gently for up to 30 seconds; the pain should gradually reduce. Move down the length of your forearm, testing for spots that recreate the carpal tunnel pain, then applying pressure for 30 seconds. Turn your arm so that it is palm-down and perform similar pressure on any tender spots you find between your elbow and wrist. Perform this exercise daily.

article: Occlusive products work to block the cold, dry air from taking the moisture out of your skin. Look for body lotions, facial creams, and lip balms that contain a combination of nourishing ingredients, such as aloe or cocoa butter, and occlusive ingredients, such as jojoba oil, shea butter, or beeswax.  Petroleum jelly also provides a durable barrier against the wind and the cold, and can be used in thin layers to protect areas such as the lips, the skin under the eyes, or fingertips during cold-weather runs, skiing, or other outdoor activities. If you are looking to undertake an intense or extended activity outdoors in cold weather such as cross-country skiing or running a marathon, consider purchasing a specialty anti-frostbite product, which may be available from sporting goods stores or a dermatologist. Once you are done in the cold, look for a hydrating and nourishing product to help your skin recover some of its lost moisture. Body oils and specially-formulated facial oils often work well for this purpose, as well as water-based lotions and moisturizers.  Those with sensitive skin or who are prone to acne may want to avoid oil-based products and instead opt for rich water-based creams. Consult with a dermatologist before introducing an oil to sensitive skin. Be sure to care for your lips, as well. The skin in this area is extra thin and sensitive, so be sure to use a hydrating lip balm each time you come in from a cold, dry environment. Windburn attacks the skin’s natural moisture, so it is important to not do anything that may further strip this moisture away. Opt for taking warm showers instead of steaming hot ones, as this can help prevent dehydration of the skin, and avoid products with drying agents such as retinal and salicylic acid.  If you must do something that will lessen the nature moisture of the skin, make sure to replace lost hydration by drinking water regularly and using a lotion or body butter to protect the skin. It is also advisable to avoid having stripping treatments such as facial peels or microdermabrasion done a week or less before you will be spending extended periods of time outside in the cold.

Don't eat sticky foods unless you rinse afterwards. Eat low-fat dairy and nuts. Do not eat before bedtime. Quit tobacco products"

Food particles on your teeth help to lead to tooth decay and staining. For this reason, you want to minimize the amount of time that your teeth are exposed to foods. Try to avoid snacking in between meals in order to maximize the amount of time that your teeth are totally clean and particle-free. Sugar is one of the most harmful substances for teeth, and it can hurt your mouth's health and appearance. Try to avoid products with added sugars to minimize tooth decay and staining. This includes table sugar as well as other sugars including: molasses, honey, maple syrup, corn syrup, and brown sugar. Your teeth and body will thank you. Be aware of "fermentable carbohydrates," which begin to break down and turn to sugar in your mouth instead of further down your digestive tract, which can be very damaging to your teeth. Fermentable carbohydrates include crackers, bread, bananas and breakfast cereals as well as the more obvious things like cookies, cakes, and candy. Beverages sweetened with sugar are particularly bad for teeth. Sipping sugary drinks exposes your teeth to harmful substances for long periods of time, hastening tooth decay. Even healthy-sounding beverages like sports drinks are chock full of sugar. Find unsweetened alternatives to sugary beverages. Plain tap water (which is treated with fluoride in most U.S. cities) is the healthiest beverage option for your mouth health and the best option for your teeth's appearance. Beware of drinks like:  Sweetened teas and coffees Soda Cocktails and other alcoholic beverages Energy drinks Sports drinks Fruit juices Coffee and tea can cause unsightly yellow stains; however, coffee and tea are not too bad for your mouth health as long as you drink them without sweeteners. Still, if you want your smile to remain bright and white, try to keep your consumption of tooth-staining drinks to a minimum. Fresh foods with a lot of fiber and water, such as fruits and vegetables, provide your body with essential nutrients for keeping your teeth strong. They also help naturally clean and brighten your teeth. Apples, carrots, and celery can all help remove food particles from your teeth while nourishing your mouth health. Limit citrus fruits, but don't cut them out completely. They contain citric acid, which can damage tooth enamel, but they also help create a slightly alkaline pH environment in your mouth (the bacteria that cause tooth decay thrive in acidic environment). Try to eat citrus foods as part of a larger meal instead of on their own. Sticky foods remain on your teeth longer, leading to additional staining and decay. Stay away from sticky, chewy foods like raisins, chewy granola bars, candy bars, and caramel. Try to find healthy, natural alternatives instead; however, if you absolutely must eat sticky foods, be sure that you rinse your mouth with water soon afterwards: this can minimize the damage they can cause. Low-fat dairy foods (such as yogurt and hard cheeses) and nuts help clean teeth naturally. The proteins and calcium in dairy can help strengthen teeth as well. Instead of reaching for a candy bar, try some plain yogurt and a handful of almonds instead. Plaque development is the worst overnight, when your saliva flow is reduced. Refrain from eating or drinking anything (other than water) in the hours before bedtime. Not eating before bedtime can also reduce the likelihood of acid reflux, which hurts your tooth enamel. . Tobacco products can stain teeth and lead to mouth diseases, including mouth cancers. Cigarettes, cigars, and chewing tobacco are all harmful to your smile. Quit them if at all possible, or at least cut down considerably in order to have clean, white teeth. Try sugar-free gums as an alternative to cigarettes. Gums without sugar can help clean and brighten your mouth.
