HEALTH - USEFUL TIPS

 1. Do you have any idea how you can get rid of a toothache "without opening your mouth"? I'll give you a hint: eliminate from the start the answers like pills, injections, palinca, onions, etc. I'll just tell you this: a method has been found that apparently has nothing to do with dentistry.  Get rid of toothache without opening your mouth!  All you have to do is rub a piece of ice between your thumb and index finger. The nerve endings in  the V- shaped area  of ​​the hand stimulate a region of the brain that blocks the reception of pain signals  from the  face and hands. A Canadian study shows that  you can   try this method without ice, but it would be 50% less effective.                    

  2. If you have a cold in your throat, scratch your ear!  Since you can't scratch your throat directly, try to solve the problem through your ear. ENT doctors explain: when the nerves in the  ear are stimulated, a reflex action is created in the throat, which causes a muscle spasm. This spasm makes the tickling  disappear. 

  3. A cure for fear of injections has been discovered.
 German researchers have discovered that if you cough during
 an injection, the sting will no longer hurt as much. Why?
 Because this trick produces a sudden and temporary increase in pressure in the chest and spinal canal, inhibiting the structures that conduct pain to the spinal cord.
 
   4. How to stop heartburn. Sleep on your left side, gastroenterologists advise. The explanation is simple: when you sleep on your right, your stomach is higher than your esophagus, allowing food and acid to slide up into your throat. When you lie on your left, your stomach is lower than your esophagus and gravity works in your favor.
 
 5. How to stop your nosebleeds. When we were little and our noses were bleeding, we were made to hold our noses with 2 fingers and lie on our backs until the bleeding stopped. How else can this problem be solved, without attracting prying eyes? Place a piece of cotton on the upper gum, under the tip of the lip, and press firmly on the piece of material. The blood comes mainly from the anterior part of the septum. By pressing here, you will stop the bleeding," the doctors say.
 
   6. When someone has had a few drinks and is dizzy.  Hold onto something stable with your hand. The mechanism responsible for balance is located in the inner ear and floats in a fluid that has the same density as blood. As alcohol dilutes the blood, the structure of the fluid also changes, which affects balance.  Therefore, the brain is disoriented and needs confirmation, which, in this case, is given by the sense of touch. In this way, by placing your hand on a stable object, you will regain your balance.

 
 7. How to keep your heart in check. Don't let it race! If you feel like you're having palpitations and you don't know you're suffering from a heart attack, you can try gently pressing on your carotid artery, just below your jaw. You will stimulate the vagus nerve and can slow down your heart rate.

 

 8. Prevent myopia! Myopia rarely has a genetic cause, ophthalmologists say. Usually, it can be caused by too much time spent in front of the computer. So to avoid problems, it would be a good idea to close your eyes a few times a day , tense your muscles, take a deep breath and, after a few seconds, exhale and relax. By stretching and relaxing your biceps and glutes, you will trick involuntary muscles, such as those of the eyes, into relaxing.          

  9. Learn to use your ears! If you're talking to someone at a party where there's a lot of noise, it's a good idea to listen with your right ear. Why not with your left? American researchers believe that your right ear helps you decipher speech faster . If you're trying to figure out what song is playing in a distant room, use your left ear.       

10. How to avoid getting tired quickly when running. If you are like most people, when you run, you tend to exhale when you put your right foot on the ground. This way you only put pressure on your liver (which is on the right side) which then starts to sting. How to get rid of this unpleasant sensation? Simple. Exhale when you put your left foot on the ground.
