presents 10 things you did not know your
body could
do number one scratch your ear to ease a
tickling throat if you've ever had a
tickling in your ear you know that just
by clearing it the tickling won't go
away also if you've ever had a tickle in
your throat you likely know how annoying
that can be well if you have a tickle in
your throat that won't stop you should
scratch the inside of your ear this will
activate the nerve in our ear which
causes those muscles to Twitch this
twitch will relieve the tickle in your
throat making you feel so much better I
don't think though you can just scratch
your tongue to take care of an earri I
don't think it works that way number two
ease the pain of getting a shot if you
don't like the pinch that you feel when
you get a shot there is something that
you can do to help when you cough it
blocks the pain signals in the brain if
you're going to get a shot you should
make yourself cough right when the
needle is about to go in this will make
a pinch almost unnoticeable this can
make immunizations and having blood
drawn much more bearable if you have a
fear of needles number three clearing
your nasal passages there is nothing
worse than dealing with a stuffy nose
trust me as a voice guy I know I deal
with it constantly it can be really
uncomfortable it can also make breathing
impossible and it can be really
difficult to sleep with a stuffy nose
well if you want to clear your sinuses
and you don't have any medication around
to take there is a simple trick trick
that you can try start by pressing your
tongue against the roof of your mouth
and next flick your finger against the
area between your eyebrows now when you
do this the bone in your nose will rock
back and forth and that'll loosen up the
nasal passages and they should be
cleared out in less than 20 seconds this
is much faster than if you had taken
medication to clear your nasal passages
number four ease a toothache with ice
this is one of the coolest of the 10
things you did not know your body could
do tooth AES can be really painful hence
the name tooth ache and they can make
eating and even speaking hard well if
you have a toothache and someone tells
you to ease it with ice they don't mean
that you should put it in your mouth or
put it in your cheeks if you have a
tooth AE rub a piece of ice on the skin
that attaches your thumb and index
finger now the reason this works is that
the space between your thumb and index
finger is a neutral pathway when you
block it with ice it'll keep the paint
from going to your face it might not
completely cure your toothache however
it will dull the pain which is huge when
you're suffering from a toothache number
five treating brain freeze anyone who is
taking a drink of something really cold
really fast or anyone who's eating ice
cream really fast you know how painful
brain freeze can be well the reason you
get brain freeze is because when you
drink a cold drink fast the nerves on
the roof of your mouth actually start to
freeze well because the nerves are
freezing your brain begins to overheat
that causes a sudden headache that you
know as brain freeze so the best way to
stop brain freeze quickly is to push
your tongue against the roof of your
mouth as hard as possible this will warm
up your nerves causing your brain to
stop overheating since brain freeze can
be extremely painful this little trick
can be helpful number six your nose can
be a time machine have you ever smelled
something and it actually took you back
in time to the first time you ever
smelled that smell well this happens to
a lot of people all the time if you get
emotional with certain smells well
that's normal and very common the reason
for this is that the area of your brain
that's responsible for smell is located
in the same area that's responsible for
emotions or memory since they're all
tied together so are the smells you
smell and the emotions that go along
with those smells number seven your
digestive system can give you superhuman
strength
everyone has heard the story about a
mother who was able to lift up her car
to save her child who was trapped
underneath this can actually happen when
your brain senses danger adrenaline is
released from your sympathetic nervous
system soon after your pupils will
dialate you'll start to sweat your heart
will beat faster and your digestive
system will shut down temporarily this
happens so that your muscles will
contract with the force and strength you
need in case of an emergency number
eight your eyes can tell you that you
are too cold if you're out in the cold
and your body temperature drops too low
you can suffer from hypothermia this is
extremely dangerous and before it
actually sets in your eyes will tell you
when your body temperature drops your
eyes will constrict to save energy
causing temporary blindness this will
let you know that hypothermia is about
to set in so you need to get warm as
soon as possible number nine slow down a
rapid heartbeat if you get really scared
or shocked your heart can start beating
rapidly as though it's going to beat out
of your chest well if you want to slow
down the heart all you need to do is
blow on your thumb there is a nerve in
your thumb that controls your heartbeat
and it's controlled just by breathing
number 10 your eyes can tell your
secrets if you're in love with someone
and you don't want them to know you're
in love with them don't look them in the
eyes when you're attracted to a person
the pupils in your eyes can begin to
dilate it'll be a dead
