1.) 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.
2.) 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.
3.) 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.
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.) 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 helps keep stomach acid from sliding up your throat.
6.) 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.
7.) 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.
8.) 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.
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.) You can prevent BRAIN FREEZE by
pressing your tongue flat against the roof of your mouth, covering as
much surface area as possible. Brain freeze happens because the nerves
in the roof of 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.
12.) 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.
13.) 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.
14.) Got the hiccups? Press thumb and second finger over your eyebrows until the hiccups are over - usually, in a short while.
15.) 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.
