SUMMARY:
- There's a proven method to make it better: slow down your running pace and shift your body weight to the non-painful side. So, if your left side hurts, you should shift your weight to your right side and vice versa.
- Our limbs get numb due to the squeezing of nerves that run through the neck. So if you turn your head, you'll warm up the muscles and relieve the pressure that causes the sensations in your hands.
- Next time you need to get a vaccine or bloodwork done, try coughing right as the needle is about to puncture your skin.
- Press your fingers against the space between your eyebrows and push your tongue up against the roof of your mouth. By holding your tongue in this position, you'll move a bone that connects the nasal passages to the mouth. Just 20 seconds of this massage is enough to create a notable drainage that will relieve the stuffiness and make you feel way better.
- Whenever you feel like a fit of gagging is coming, make a fist with your left hand and squeeze your left thumb in it. This will “wake up” the nerves and make the gag reflex go away.
- Our brain views a bigger wound as a louder warning signal, while a small wound seems like not such a big deal. So when you turn the binoculars around, you get this “smaller” effect that can calm your brain down and reduce the pain.
- Maybe you're worried about an important work presentation, your exam results, or even a fight you had with a loved one. Luckily, there's a 5-minute solution that can calm you down – just blow on your thumb!
- Rubbing your calf to deal with an urgent call to the bathroom can help you become more relaxed and, as a result, win you more time to wait. Unfortunately for the fellas, this method has been proven to work only for women.
- Experts from the Orthopaedic Research Institute at the University of New South Wales in Australia discovered that pressing something cold to any pulse point on your body can help lower body temperature.
