11 Bizzare but True Health Tips. These tips are really strange and funny, but take time and really ponder on them……they are simple ways to kick the body into shape

Change Your Name- billions of people don’t know it, but is truly true that you live your name

People with "positive" initials—ones that spell out things like J.O.Y. or W.O.W.—live nearly 4 1/2 years longer than people with neutral initials. D.U.D.'s and A.S.S.'s who live nearly 3 years less. Other initials that may shorten life: I.L.L. and D.E.D.

Use the First Stall
After analyzing public restrooms, experts found that the stall closest to the restroom door consistently had the lowest bacteria levels. The first stall probably sees less traffic because it's near the door and people want privacy. And most importantly, when you're finished, stand before you flush. When toilets are flushed, a fine mist of water containing contagious bacteria sprays up. You can catch intestinal bugs and hepatitis from it.


Splint a Broken Arm with a Magazine
To make an impromptu cast, place your wrist palm-down on top of a thick magazine. Roll the magazine into a U-shaped cradle and secure it with tape, an ace bandage, or long strips torn from a shirt. 

Good diet, water, exercise and proper rest is a must for good health
Accuse Others of Taking Your Keys- this is a fun way of telling your mind/body to ‘’brace up’’
Researchers have suggested that there's a marked difference between how younger and older people interpret misplacing their car keys or personal belongings. A young guy usually blames it on someone else: "Who took my damn keys?" An old man typically blames it on himself: "I must be getting old. I misplaced my keys again." Never use your age as an excuse whenever you misplace things. This trick on your mind makes you younger and keeps your mind sharp.

Use a scratch to cure a scratch
While your hand is under a cast, itchy skin is a major problem. To solve the problem, try scratching the same place on the other arm or foot. This may trick your brain into thinking you're scratching the real itch. And don’t worry, your brain wont discover the trick, ‘cause you don’t break bones often……….Hehehehheh!

Cold compress brings down a high a fever
Anything up to 102°F is mild and can be treated by drinking plenty of fluids. But to quickly bring down a reading above that, put an ice pack under your arm or near your groin. Icing either spot will cool your body's core. It's uncomfortable, but it works fast. Then see a doctor.

Green Apples are so cool
If you get claustrophobic in confined places such as subways, aircraft, elevators, and that closet of an office they stuck you in, visit your local fruit stand. A sniff of green apples may help relieve claustrophobic sensations. Carry one with you.

Disinfect a Wound with Honey
Pour a dab of honey on a cut before covering it with a bandage. Believe it or not, honey has powerful antibacterial properties. A recent study found that it was capable of destroying almost all strains of the most common wound-infecting bacteria.

Pepper don’t only sting
Next time you nick yourself in the kitchen, reach for the black peeper container. Run cold water over the wound to clean it, using soap if you were handling meat. Then sprinkle on the pepper and apply pressure. In no time, the bleeding will stop. Turns out, black pepper has analgesic, antibacterial, and antiseptic properties. It isn’t only for spicing your food.

Another reason to get a pet
To lower your risk of heart attack and stroke, get a dog. Numerous studies show that petting a dog keeps blood pressure under control when you're stressed.

Flush Away Trouble- I like this tip; it’s my favourite
Ever notice how satisfying it is to flush a toilet, especially if it's one of those airport monsters? Think of this next tip as a stress laxative—a bit strange, but guaranteed to be gentle and effective: Before you go to bed, put some small strips of flushable paper and a pencil in the bathroom. The following morning, take a seat and write down the names of all the people or situations in your life that are causing you angst. Then throw them in the bowl and flush. You'll be amazed at how great this feels and works.
