If you bring together all the little things that you have to do every day to have a well-being, from sleep and exercise to healthy eating or solve a sudoku, you will notice that all together comprise a full time job! However, if you spend only 1 minute to yourself, that is enough to reap significant benefits for your health.

On the way home

Make a stop at the florist.

What you win: better mood the next morning. A new research at Harvard shows that those who are not "morning guys" feel more cheerful and energetic when the first thing facing are the flowers!

At work

View a humorous website or funny videos on you-tube.

What you win: Fewer infections. Instead of starting your day with e-mail on your work, do something more fun: Login on facebook and watch the funny videos sent by your friends or read jokes. The surveys found that a moment of fun is enough to increase the secretion of endorphins and hormones that enhance the immune system.

Hits

If you get small injures just rubbed them with honey.

What you win: Fewer Adhesives. A study published in the International Journal of Clinical Practice has shown that the antimicrobial properties of honey can accelerate wound healing, reduce the risk of infection and to alleviate the pain. You just rubbed a thin layer of honey over the scratch.

The annual checkup

Start from the rough.

What you win: better relationship with your doctor. According to studies, patients who refer to the most painful issues at the beginning of their appointment with the doctor are more likely to leave satisfied and to absorb his advice.

Hungry

Try pistachios.

What you win: Improved cholesterol levels. In a survey at Ferax Inova Hospital in the city of Falls Church, Virginia found that people who ate 50-80 grams unsalted pistachios daily for four weeks have raised levels of HDL or "good" cholesterol by 6%.

At midday sleepiness

Choose coffee instead of cola.

What you gain: Reduced risk of diabetes. Coffee has fewer calories and more antioxidants from carbonated beverages and in a Finnish study found that those who drank 3-6 cups a day had 50% less likely to develop type II diabetes than those who drank 2 cups or less.

If you want to smoke

Drink some milk.

What you gain: Less satisfaction from smoking. A recent Duke University survey of U.S. smokers were almost 20% agreed that milk makes the taste of cigarettes uglier. "Your brain will eventually connect the taste of milk with a reduced desire to smoke," says lead researcher Joseph MakKlernol, Ph.D.
