A Healthy body is a vessel for a Healthy mind ...
Similarly a smart mind handles the body smartly
Some tricks that you can learn to bring your body into
harmony based on sound medical principles ...
1.) If you've got an itch in your throat,
scratch your ear. When the nerves in the ear get
stimulated, they create a reflex in the throat that
causes a muscle spasm, which cures the itch.
2.) Having trouble hearing someone at a party or on the
phone? Use your right ear…
it's better at picking up rapid speech.
But, the left is better at picking up music tones.
3.) If you need to relieve yourself BADLY,
but you're not anywhere near a bathroom,
fantasize about RELATIONS.
That preoccupies your brain and distracts it.
4.) Next time the doctor's going to give you an injection,
COUGH as the needle is going in.
The cough raises the level of pressure in your spinal
canal, which limits the pain sensation as it tries to
travel to your brain.
5.) Clear a stuffed nose or relieve sinus pressure
by pushing your tongue against the roof of your mouth…
then pressing a finger between your eyebrows.
Repeat that for 20 seconds…it causes the vomer bone
to rock, which loosens your congestion
and clears you up.
6.) If you ate a big meal and you're feeling full
as you go to sleep, lay on your left side.
That'll keep you from suffering from acid reflux…
it keeps your stomach lower than your esophagus,
which will help keep stomach acid from
sliding up your throat.
7.) You can stop a toothache by rubbing ice on the back
of your hand, on the webbed area between your thumb
and index finger. The nerve pathways there
stimulate a part of the brain that blocks pain signals
from your mouth.
8.) If you get all messed up on liquor, and the room
starts spinning, put your hand on something stable.
The reason: Alcohol dilutes the blood in the part of
your ear called the cupula, which regulates balance.
Putting your hand on something stable
gives your brain another reference point,
which will help make the world stop spinning.
9.) Stop a nose bleed by putting some cotton on your
upper gums…right behind the small dent below your
nose…and press against it hard.
Most of the bleeding comes from the cartilage wall
that divides the nose, so pressing there helps
get it to stop.
10.) Nervous?
Slow your heart rate down by blowing on your thumb.
The vagus nerve controls your heart rate,
and you can calm it down by breathing.
11.) Need to breathe underwater for a while???
Instead of taking a huge breath, HYPERVENTILATE
before you go under, by taking a bunch of short breaths.
That'll trick your brain into thinking it has more oxygen,
and buy you about 10 extra seconds.
12.) You can prevent BRAIN FREEZE by pressing your
tongue flat against the roof of your mouth, covering
as much surface area as possible.
your mouth get extremely cold, so your brain thinks
your whole body is cold.
It compensates by overheating…which causes your
head to hurt. By warming up the roof of your mouth,
you'll chill your brain and feel better.
13.) If your hand falls asleep, rock your head
from side to side.
That'll wake your hand or arm up in less than a minute.
Your hand falls asleep because of the nerves in your
neck compressing…
so loosening your neck is the cure.
If your foot falls asleep, that's governed by nerves
lower in the body, so you need to stand up and walk
around.
14.) Finally, this one's totally USELESS, but a nice trick.
Have someone stick their arm out to the side,
straight, palm down.
Press down on his wrist with two fingers.
He'll resist, and his arm will stay horizontal.
Then, have him put his foot on a surface that's half an
inch off the ground, like a stack of magazines,
and do the trick again. Because his spine position is
thrown off, his arm will fall right to his side,
no matter how much he tries to resist.
15.) Got the hiccups?
Press thumb and second finger over your eyebrows
until the hiccups are over - usually shortly.
