1. When you feel the need to take aspirin for whatever reason... dissolve your aspirin tables in a glass of juice, milk, or water first. The reason being is that you will speed up the process of the aspirin absorption and avoid that burning sensation you often get in your stomach when taking aspirin tablets.

2. If you suffer from arthritis and often wake up with painful and stiff hands... try wearing elastic (spandex) gloves to bed nightly. What this does is it prevents the synovial fluid from pooling in your hands while you sleep.

3. Using artificial sweeteners will not help you lose fat because whenever you eat something that tastes sweet, your brain still perceives it as sugar and releases insulin... whose job is to lower excess sugar levels in the bloodstream. This reaction then causes your body to go into a fat storing mode.

4. I know this is probably just the opposite of what most people have been taught, but in order to speed up the healing process of scraped skin... the real secret is to keep the area moist, not to allow it to remain open to the air (the air around you contaions many germs and bacteria). What you need to do is clean the wound thoroughly, put some type of antibiotic ointment or plain vaseline (petroleum jelly) on the wound, and cover it with a bandage. Nt only will this speed up the healing process, but you'll also experience less scarring doing it like this.

There you have it... four great rarely revealed health tips for people over 50.
