Seven things you probably didn’t know about your body & health.

1. Cleaning Nasal Passages With Salt Water

Salt: Salt is a natural antiseptic. If you are a person who experiences allergy symptoms on a regular basis in your nose; rinsing your nose with lukewarm salt water would help.

2. Smoking and Sleep

Sleep: Withdrawal symptoms for smoking can happen over a very short term. At times, smokers can experience withdrawal symptoms even during sleep. This gives them a feeling of tiredness during the day even after a full night’s sleep.

3. Natural Aspirin

Natural Asprin: Asprin is basically an anti-inflammatory & pain-relieving drug. Benzoic acid is what gives aspirin such qualities. Fruits and vegetables are rich in Benzoic acid. Hence a diet rich in fruits and vegetables will help you stay away from unnecessary medication.

4. Napping

Napping: A small nap for a minimum of 20 to 25 minutes during the middle of the day can increase your productivity level by two times.

5. Clean Your Kitchen Sink

Kitchen Sink: Keeping your kitchen sink clean is by far more important than keeping your bathroom clean. A dirty kitchen sink can be a more dangerous cause of bacteria and germs than a dirty restroom.

6. Watch Yourself Workout

Workout: Watching yourself during workout can help you correct your mistakes and posture. It will also boost your confidence by giving you a sense of satisfaction.

7. Honey and Fertility

Honey: Being rich in vitamin B, honey helps to improve your sex drive and fertility. Honey stimulates the estrogen count in your blood and helps maintain your erection. Honey with lukewarm water is also said to relieve hangover.
