Feel better by looking good

[Naveed Yaseen]

If you have a long-term illness, improving your appearance can help you feel better, the American Cancer Society says.

The ACS offers the following suggestions for improving the way you look (and feel):

* Take time to shave, wash and fix your hair or put on a wig or toupee, and put on makeup. Do this if you’re at home, even in bed.

Health Tips

* If you’re able and it’s OK with your doctor, treat yourself to a massage, facial, pedicure or manicure.

* Try to get as much exercise as you can each day. Even a brisk walk, if approved by your doctor, can do wonders toward making you look and feel better.

* Keep brushing and flossing your teeth regularly, and get dental checkups.

* Be sure to get enough sleep.
