It’s a moisturizing lotion that you rub on your psoriasis plaques once a day (as long as well tolerated) until your psoriasis plaques are under control, it’s non greasy. Lotion, 0.01%/0.045%, is a prescription medicine used on the skin (topical) to treat adults with plaque psoriasis. Stop using DUOBRII Lotion and tell your healthcare provider right away if you become pregnant while using DUOBRII Lotion. If you get too much skin irritation at the site of application, your healthcare provider may tell you to interrupt or stop using DUOBRII or to use it less often.

The average American gets only six hours and 40 minutes of sleep a night, falling far short of the National Sleep Foundation’s recommendation of seven to nine hours of restful sleep. A stray streetlight beam or a TV left on overnight can interfere with your restful sleep, and the light of the morning sun flooding your room will wake you up before you may need to. Other ways to promote high-quality, natural and restful sleep include herbs and supplements, aromatherapy, exercise, and relaxing meditation. But no remedy will be effective until you first set the stage and ensure your bedroom is the perfect environment for slumber by keeping the temperature at the proper level, shutting out noise and light, investing in a good mattress, creating a visually pleasing space, and making certain the air is fresh.

Studies have also shown that eating a small bowl of broth-based soup before a meal reduces hunger and increases the feeling of fullness, making you less likely to overeat during your meal. Some studies have also shown that beans, such as kidney and pinto beans, help keep blood sugar levels steady, making you less likely to have a food craving later in the day. For example, a half-cup of unsalted black beans contains 7.5g of protein, 7.5g of fiber, is virtually fat and sodium-free, at only 113 calories per serving. And although the jury is out whether or not the enzymes in grapefruit actually melt fat away, the truth stands that it’s a healthy, low-calorie item to include in your morning routine, rather than a high-calorie latte or smoothie.
