1. 15 SPECTACULAR TRICKS FOR YOUR BODY !!!!
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.
2. 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.
3. 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 helps keep stomach acid from sliding up your throat.
7.) You can stop a toothache by rubbing ice on the back of yourhand, 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.
4. 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.
5. 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. 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
6. 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, 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
7. 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, in a short while.
