I’ll start it off, please add anything you feel remotely interesting:
A seasonal sinus remedy – forget Sudafed and other drugs!
An easier, quicker, and cheaper way to relieve sinus pressure is by alternately thrusting your tongue against the roof of your mouth, then pressing between your eyebrows with one finger. This causes the vomer bone, which runs through the nasal passages to the mouth, to rock back and forth. The motion loosens congestion; after 20 seconds, you’ll feel your sinuses start to drain.

No it’s nomt!
Next time you’re at a party, try this trick:
Have a person hold one arm straight out to the side, palm down, and instruct him to maintain this position. Then place two fingers on his wrist and push down. He’ll resist. Now have him put one foot on a surface that’s a half inch higher (a few magazines) and repeat. This time his arm will give way. By misaligning his hips, you’ve offset his spine. Your brain senses that the spine is vulnerable, so it shuts down the body’s ability to resist.

The phrase “a can of worms” dates back to the 1st world war when love lorn soldiers who had been in the trenches way too long, used to get an empty tin can and fill it full of earthworms.
They would then have sex with the can.
If you got caught doing this you would tell your comrade not to tell anyone of as it would be most embarrasing, thus opening ‘a can of worms’!Be seen and be Safe!
Feeling cold and full of flu

10 days!!! – You should try my missus’ cooking…..

Scouser, your can of worms one is intriguing…..out in the garden tomorrow morning, that’s for sure!Here’s a relevant one for this time of year:
One too many drinks left you dizzy? Put your hand on something stable. The part of your ear responsible for balance – the cupula – floats in a fluid of the same density as blood. As alcohol dilutes blood in the cupula, the cupula becomes less dense and rises. This confuses your brain. The tactile input from a stable object gives the brain a second opinion, and you feel more in balance. Because the nerves in the hand are so sensitive, this works better than the conventional foot-on-the-floor wisdom. Good one for Carmy’s hot toddy effects too!

and you think coffee is bad for you? Some benefits of caffiene…
Caffeine is metabolized in the liver and one of the first products of metabolism is Theophylline. Theophylline actually relaxes the smooth muscles of the bronchi and has been used for this purpose in the treatment of asthma.
Caffeine also causes the pituitary gland to release hormones that activate the adrenal glands to produce adrenalin and adrenalin in turn produces the “fight or flight” behavior in the body. This behavior increases the rate and force of the heartbeat and thereby provides the brain and other tissues with more oxygen. One of the many effects of adrenaline on the body is that your breathing tubes open up .
right I’m off to put kettle on…..[

Thought GSXR1000 might like this one….
Chocolate contains a class of chemicals that might help lower the risk of heart disease, according to researchers at the University of California at Davis.
Wine chemist Andrew Waterhouse and his colleagues have long studied the possible health benefits of compounds called phenolics. These chemicals are abundant in red wine and are believed to help prevent so-called “bad” cholesterol from clogging coronary arteries with fatty substances known as plaque.In a report to be published in the medical journal Lancet, the UC Davis group suggests that the phenolics in chocolate are beneficial.
Although cholesterol is found in animal fats, it is also made by the body and is needed to help build cell walls as well as many hormones.
But before cholesterol can be transported through the bloodstream, it must by combined with fats and proteins into particles called lipoproteins. Low-density lipoproteins, or LDL, are known as the “bad” cholesterol, and they are the artery-blockers. the “good” high-density lipoproteins, or HDL, are believed to scavenge excess cholesterol from the bloodstream and carry it to the liver for excretion.
Phenolics, according to current thinking, are among several compounds in foods that prevent oxygen from combining with low-density lipoproteins – a process called oxidation. This minimizes the ability of LDL to damage artery walls and contribute to the buildup of plaque.
In their laboratory experiments with extracts of cocoa powder, Waterhouse and his colleagues found that the phenols in cocoa strongly inhibited the oxidation of low-density lipoproteins taken from samples of human blood.
The researchers estimate that an ounce and a half of mild chocolate contains 205 milligrams of phenolics, while a cup of hot chocolate has 146 milligrams. By comparison, a typical glass of red wine contains about 210 milligrams of phenolics, Waterhouse says.
