Clearing a Stuffy Nose
Exhale completely, then rock back and forth or walk around until you are desperate for air. Breathe in. Repeat 3-5 times.
How It Works
The body gets convinced that it is suffocating, triggering a nitric oxide release that clears the nasal passages.
Eat Tuna Without Fearing Mercury
Eat one brazil nut along with the tuna. I like to crush it up and mix it in.
How It Works
Brazil nuts are extremely high in selenium, a mineral which binds to mercury in your system and helps it to pass through rather than be absorbed.
Reduce the After-Effects of Alcohol
Take a supplement cocktail consisting of Lysine, a Vitamin-B Complex (mostly important for Vitamin B-1), and CoQ10. Optionally take an activated charcoal pill while drinking.
Before each drink take one Vitamin C capsule. This helps block the conversion of alcohol into aldehyde, the most hangover-causing metabolite that also causes very fast aging, wrinkles, etc.
Additional options: Alpha Lipoic Acid and/or N-Acetyl Cysteine before each drink or at the start and end of drinking.
Fix Head-Forward Posture
Use Egoscue posture correction exercises: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FdNS95hpL-o
