The human body is one of the most amazing things to have ever been created, and it is capable of some crazy things! In fact, you may not even know about nearly half the things your body can do. Well, friends, we are here to solve some of these mysteries for you so that you can get a glimpse of how awe-inspiring the human body really is.

We have curated 20 such crazy hacks, which will shed some light on the things your body is capable of doing (apart from Rajnikant’s stunts, of course).

1. Onions Can Clear Up Your Nose

That’s right! Just keep an onion by your pillow when you’re about to sleep, and by morning, your nose would not be stuffy anymore.

2. Your Ears And Throat Are Related!

Well, there wouldn’t be an ENT now if they weren’t, right? If you feel ticklish in your throat, all you have to do to fix that is scratch your ear.

3. Brain Freeze Can Be Fixed By Your Tongue

If you experience a brain freeze, just push your tongue up against the roof in your mouth, and you’ll be rid of it.

4. You Can Stop Your Tears

No longer will you have to reach for tissues when you watch Taare Zameen Par or another tear-jerker. You can prevent yourself from crying if you just keep yourself from blinking and make sure your eyes are wide open.

5. Early Morning Dizziness Can Be Cured By Your Feet

If you’re the kind who feels woozy after waking up, just put one of your feet on the ground to let your brain know where you are. This will prevent disorientation.

6. Choose Which Ear To Listen From

Studies have revealed that your right ear is good at grasping dialogue and words, while the left works best at listening to sounds and music (1).

7. Fist Up To Stop Gagging

 Balling your hand into a fist and tucking your thumb in it while gripping it tightly can prevent gagging.

8. Blow To Make Your Heart Beat Slowly

Does your heart thump loudly at the drop of a hat? You can make your heart beat slower by simply blowing on your thumb.

9. Marshmallows And Sore Throats

Know what can provide relief to that sore throat of yours? Roasted marshmallows! Now that’s one more reason to gorge on these tasty treats.

10. Think Of Sex To Control Your Bladder

Can’t hold in your pee? No problem. Just think of sex till you can find a washroom. Sexual thoughts can temporarily distract you and help you control the pressure for some time.

11. Pinch Yourself When The Laughing Monster Strikes

Can’t control yourself from laughing out loud during that classroom lecture? Just pinch yourself, and it’ll become super easy to look at your professor with a straight face.

12. Blink To Sleep

Guess lullabies and counting sheep to fall asleep are not effective all the time. What is a super effective way to fall asleep though is to blink your eyes rapidly.

13. Or Breathe To Wake Up

Nothing can make you hit snoozeland than that boring boardroom meeting. But you can prevent yourself from conking out by holding your breath as long as you can and then letting it go.

14. Hold Your Tongue To Stop Sneezing

Well, not literally. Push it against your teeth as hard as you can. No more burying your face in your hanky or tissue.

15. Read Before Bedtime For Better Memory

If you’re the kind who tends to forget what he/she has studied, simply read before hitting the bed. You can clearly recall what you’ve read before sleeping when you wake up (2).

16. Spray Deo On A Mosquito Bite

Mosquito bites sting bad! And while your mother will tell you to put Odomos on it, you can just spray your deodorant on the bite to stop the stinging.

17. Stop Migraine Headaches With Ice

If ice in alcohol can give you headaches, ice without alcohol can fix them, at least those caused by a migraine. Simply dip your hands in icy water to get relief.

 18. Cold Showers Can Fix That Acne

Summer season means tons of unsightly acne spoiling the beauty of your face. Instead of taking the Clean&Clear route, just have a cold shower every morning to close those pores and prevent dirt and bacteria from seeping in. This will stop the acne.

19. Ice To Relieve A Toothache

If you’re too scared to visit the dentist’s office for that nasty toothache, you can try a home remedy that’ll totally work. Just take a bit of ice and rub it between your forefinger and thumb to reduce a toothache by 50%.

20. Write To Release Stress

If you’re too stressed out about something, just write it out to instantly cut off the negativity.

Believe it or not, these interesting body hacks are instant saviors. And if you make them a part of your life, many big problems like stress, sleep, pain, and aches could be taken care of. Stay smart, stay healthy.
