Two Tricks Your Body Should Know

These healthy tips are from Kate Dailey at Men’s Health:

Breathe Underwaterpool dive.jpg
If you're dying to retrieve that quarter from the bottom of the pool, take several short breaths first – essentially, hyperventilate. When you're underwater, it's not a lack of oxygen that makes you desperate for a breath; it's the buildup of carbon dioxide, which makes your blood acidic, which signals your brain that somethin' ain't right. "When you hyperventilate, the influx of oxygen lowers blood acidity," says Jonathan Armbruster, Ph.D., associate professor of biology at Auburn University. "This tricks your brain into thinking it has more oxygen." It'll buy you up to 10 seconds.

Thaw Your Brain
Too much Chipwich too fast will freeze the brains of lesser men. As for you, press your tongue flat against the roof of your mouth, covering as much as you can. "Since the nerves in the roof of your mouth get extremely cold, your body thinks your brain is freezing, too," says Abo. "In compensating, it overheats, causing an ice-cream headache." The more pressure you apply to the roof of your mouth, the faster your headache will subside.

Very interesting about the short breath and water. However the 'Thaw your brain' hits home with me...I often eat ice-cream WAY TOO FAST because of my extreme love for it, which thus in turn causes a brain freeze...my wife always tells me to do this trick and it actually works!

Yes, Easton, wives are handy that way. You know, I ended up eating ice cream twice today. That must be part of why I feel so content.

Never thought of the last trick, although I've heard of the hyperventilation procedure. However, I shall keep it in mind for the next time I dive.

Very good tricks. i really think we can learn something from here... but sometimes is not just about knowing the solutions...is about applies them too.
