Got this useful tips from a blog and decide to post on here for everyone to read and make use of. These few health tips had really being of tremendous help to me for a while now and think its high time I shared it with you all. Number 14, my best so far!

Read and see for yourselves:

1- Mosquito bite? Press a *hot* spoon onto the spot. The heat will destroy the protein that caused the reaction and the itching will stop.

2- If sugar is applied on a cut, it will help in the healing process and will also stop the blood flow.

3- Eating bananas, pasta, almonds, grapes, oatmeal, chocolate, watermelon, orange juice, cornflakes, and tuna can help relieve stress.

4- Ever have that annoying itch in your throat that makes you want to gag and cough to get it out? Scratch your ear it will go away!

5- Flex any muscle for 60 seconds to get rid of an unwanted erection.

6- Surrounding yourself with positive people increases your life expectancy.

7- Listening to music for at least 10 mins each day strengthens your mind's ability to handle stress.

8- If you still feel tired after a good night's sleep, you're probably dehydrated. Drink some water after you wake up.

9- Faking a smile has the ability to actually increase and boost your mood.

10- Taking a 60 minute nap will give you about 10 hours of alertness.

11- When doing sit-ups if you place your tongue on the roof of your mouth it will stop you from straining your neck.

12- Remove unpleasant odor in smelly shoes or gymbags by placing dry tea bags in them.

13- Cold showers are much better for your hair and skin.

14- Every day, make an effort to talk to at least three members of the opposite sex. You'll be shocked at how much more confident you'll become.

15- Stretch for 5 minutes before going to bed. Your muscles will be more relaxed and it'll be easier to find a comfortable position to sleep in.

16- A good laugh and a long sleep are the two best cures for anything.

17- Study your notes within one day of taking them. Retention rates are 60% higher then!

18- Starting to smile at an inappropriate time? Rub the underside of your nose with a finger—it'll kill the smile.

19- If you're having trouble falling asleep, count backwards from 99. Most times you'll fall asleep before even getting to 50.

20- If you do something embarrassing in public, immediately laugh at yourself. It's the best way to diffuse the awkwardness.

21- When approaching a door, look for the hinges. If you see them, pull. If not, push. This will help you avoid some embarrassing moments!

22- To maintain a healthy brain, Chocolate, sex and laughter are all very important factors.

23- To get night vision, keep one eye closed in the well lit area and then open it in darkness; that eye will be able to see in the dark.

24- Your phone emits a radiation that’s 1,000 times stronger when the battery is low. Try to avoid answering it when this is the case.

25- If you toss onions in the freezer 15 minutes before you cut them you won’t tear up.

26- If you need to remember to bring something to work/school the next day, put it in your shoe.

27- Feeling sleepy? Hold your breath until you cant anymore and then breathe out slowly. This will increase your heart rate.

28- When trying to look for percentages (ex 40% of 300) drop the 1st digit of the number and multiply by the 10s digit of the % (4 x 30 = 120)

29- There is a free website called "essaytyper" that lets you type a topic and it will write the paper for you in minutes.

30- Have a stomach ache? Lay on your left side and rub your stomach in clockwise circles. It'll help!

31- If you're feeling nervous, start chewing gum, your brain will reason that you're not in danger because you would not be eating if you were.

32- If you accidentally over salt a dish while its still cooking, drop in a peeled potato it absorbs the excess salt for an instant fix me up.

33- Never use your favorite song as your alarm clock, you'll end up hating it.

34- If you ever drop glass, put a piece of bread on it. The consistency of the bread will pick up even the smallest shards.

35- Runny nose? Push your tongue against the top of your mouth and push a finger between your eyebrows. Hold it for about 20 seconds... gone!

36- If it takes less than five minutes to do, do it immediately. Your life will instantly become much more organized and productive.
