A Scientific Way to Cure a Headache Without Pai...
When you have a headache and the pill you need isn’t at hand, the situation seems hopeless. But it isn’t so. There’s a scientific way to get rid of a headache called acupressure. Today, we will tell you about this technique which removes a headache effectively and quickly. Let us know in the comments below if this video is beneficial to you. And if so, hit that thumbs up button – it really helps our channel grow! TIMESTAMPS Acupressure 0:17 Yintang point 1:10 Zan Zhu points 1:23 Yingxiang points 1:39 Tian Zhu points 1:55 Shuai gu points 2:10 He Gu points 2:23 SUMMARY The point of the third eye, or Yintang, is situated between the eyebrows in the place where the bridge of the nose passes into the forehead. This point is also responsible for eye fatigue removal. These symmetrical points are located at the base of the inner edge of the eyebrows. Massaging this area also relieves a runny nose and improves visual acuity. Massage for 1 minute by pressing or circular movements, and you’ll feel relief. These points are located on both sides of the nostrils in line with the eyes. To find them, feel a dimple in the bottom of the cheekbones. It helps to open sinuses, reduce a headache and toothache, and relieve stress. The fourth points, Tian Zhu points, are located behind the head in the middle, between the ear and the beginning of the spine. Massaging these points helps you relieve nasal congestion, pain in the eyes and ears, severe headaches, and migraines. The Shuai gu points are situated 2-3 cm from the beginning of the hairline in the temple area. Feel a small dimple to find this point. Pressure applied to this area relieves pain in the temporal region and eye fatigue. The last ones are He Gu points. These symmetrical points are located on the back of the hand between the thumb and forefinger. Pressure applied to this area also relieves back pain, toothache, and tension in the neck muscles. We’ve tried massaging all these points – it really works! What about you?

13 Survival Hacks That Never Work in Real Life
Blockbuster heroes manage to survive in any situation. Here are the 13 most common on-screen survival tips that don’t work in real life. More than that, they can do you a lot of harm! We all want to be like superherous, and we believe using their survival lessons could help us, too. Don’t try to reproduce them on your own — the characters only stayed alive thanks to the director’s imagination. TIMESTAMPS Wearing cotton clothes 0:55 Throwing away your phone if it doesn’t pick up a signal 1:40 Getting down on the ground during a thunderstorm 2:35 Jumping from a speeding car 3:38 Finding directions using moss on trees 4:24 Eating snow to quench the thirst 5:19 Outrunning a wild animal 6:19 Raw meat can treat a black eye 8:05 Starting a fire in a cave 8:45 You can’t let someone with a head injury fall asleep 9:19 If you are lost, you should get moving immediately 9:56 You can outrun a tornado 10:31 Warning signs are negligible 11:16 SUMMARY Cotton clothes might look good at happy on-screen campers. In real life, cotton is not the best material for clothes to keep you safe and warm out in the wild. Your phone is not useless: even if you can’t call, it still pings nearby phone network towers and makes a digital map of your route so that rescuers can trace your location. To save battery, turn your phone off every half an hour. The energy of a lightning flash heats the air to above 50,000°F in a few millionths of a second! Wet soil is an excellent electricity conductor, so you’ll only increase the chances of the lightning hitting you. To stay alive, you should minimize your contact with the ground. Even if the offenders placed you next to an unlocked door, you’d wring your neck trying to impress them with this feat. This might lead to your death (or you’ll be paralyzed), and the kidnappers will take you to their destination without any hassle. Hold your watch up in front of you, and let the hour hand point at the sun. Cut the angle between the hour hand and 12 o’clock in half. That way is south, and the opposite direction is north. You should not use snow to quench your thirst. Snow has a low density. You’ll have to eat several buckets of it to get a glass of water. If you don’t have weapons, the beast will most likely win. It is a good idea to study the habits of animals that live in the area you are visiting. Raw meat is not to be applied to your eyes because it can cause an infection. This can prove fatal if you are out in the wilderness with no disinfectants or antibiotics at hand. If you start a fire in a cave, warmth will cause the rock to expand, which can lead to the cave falling in. Start fires outdoors unless you want to be buried in the collapsed cave. Light concussions pass by soon enough, and sleep will only help the patient to bounce back. If there are more concerning symptoms, such as an increasing headache, nausea, or loss of orientation, the injured person should be taken to the hospital as soon as possible. If you move along an unknown route, there is a risk of you getting even more lost and never being found. So, don’t stray away. Wait for a search party. If you know a tornado is coming, close all the doors, windows, and ventilation holes. Take the most necessary things (water, a flashlight, medicines, documents), and take shelter in the basement or an interior room on the first floor with as many walls between you and the outside as possible. If you see a warning sign in the woods, there are serious reasons for it, and you don’t want to find out what they are. After all, there must be a reason why most horror films begin with someone violating a prohibitive sign.

15 Proven Ways to Get Rid of Bad Breath
Bad breath is a very touchy and personal question. Dental hygiene is important, but brushing your teeth twice a day and chewing gum may not be enough. There are scientifically proven cases of what may be the reasons behind bad breath. Let's find the root of the problem. We at Bright Side have done some research and put together a list of dental hygiene do's and don'ts. Perhaps all you need to do is to adjust just one or two of your habits. TIMESTAMPS Drink plenty of water. 1:16 Don't drink too much coffee. 1:50 Clean your dentures. 2:38 Remember to floss after every meal. 3:09 Change your toothbrush every three months. 3:58 Do not neglect your tongue. 4:43 Go for alcohol-free mouthwash. 5:17 Avoid sugar mints. 6:20 Be aware of the medication you are taking. 7:13 Check for tonsil stones. 7:42 Watch your scales. 8:47 Say no to a low-carb diet. 9:24 Reconsider your smoking habit. 10:13 Eat more apples and other healthy food. 11:11 Visit your doctor. 11:49 SUMMARY Water is never a bad idea. A sufficient amount of water stimulates the flow of your saliva and helps to avoid dehydration, which is often a reason for halitosis (that's how scientists call bad breath). Did you know that caffeine can slow down saliva production and, therefore, dry out your mouth? This will lead to that breath odor. It's better to drink a cup of tea during your lunch and dinner. Caring for your dentures is as important as caring for your teeth, so you should treat them accordingly. Practice the same oral hygiene that you would with your original teeth. Make a habit of cleaning them at night to get rid of bacterial buildup from food. Any food particles which stay in between your teeth for too long time act in the same way as if you left your trash bin full — they stink. The bacteria from food go deep below the gum line and may lead not only to bad breath but also to an infection. That's why flossing is no less important than brushing your teeth. Time flies when we are busy, and we may not notice how quickly our toothbrush gets old. An old toothbrush may be as unsafe to use as simply adding more bacteria to your mouth. So change your toothbrush regularly. When you brush your teeth in the morning, remember to clean your tongue with the tongue scraper. You won't believe, but it has been shown to reduce odor by up to as much as 70%. Many brands of mouth rinse contain up to 27% of alcohol in their ingredients. It dries out your mouth. As a result, as we have already learned, it brings an unpleasant smell after that minty freshness wears off within an hour. Another danger of mouthwash containing alcohol can appear if it is used by teenagers. Sugar is normally added to the mints people are so eager to take after a meal. You do so to freshen your breath, and you think that you do the right thing. But, unfortunately, the situation is quite the contrary. Sugar in these mints is exactly what helps the bacteria in your mouth to grow. Such medications as antidepressants, painkillers, and antihistamines may suppress saliva flow and can be the reason for a chronic dry mouth. So, remember to ask your doctor about the side effects of any prescribed medications. If you're not aware, tonsil stones are a mix of debris and bacteria that sit in the back of the throat. They look like white spots or bumps and smell nasty. You might have never heard of them but, in fact, they are pretty common. Tel Aviv University researchers have published a study that has found a direct link between being overweight and having bad breath: the more obese you are, the more likely your breath will not be as pleasant as you would like. "Ketosis: this is a process which forces the body to burn stored fats and proteins for energy due to the lack of carbs. The thing is that if your diet is too strict, your body will start to produce such chemicals as ketones. Smoking dries out your mouth while nicotine tends to squeeze blood vessels - as a result, you don't receive a healthy amount of saliva. When you crunch celery, apples, carrots, or similar food, it removes the remains of food stuck between the teeth. What is more, it rids of bacteria that live on them. If you have tried everything, followed all the recommendations, but bad breath still bothers you, probably it's time to visit the doctor. #badbreath #dentaltips Subscribe to Bright Side : https://goo.gl/rQTJZz ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Our Social Media: Facebook: / brightside Instagram: / brightgram SMART Youtube: https://goo.gl/JTfP6L 5-Minute Crafts Youtube: https://www.goo.gl/8JVmuC Have you ever seen a talking slime?

Why You Should Avoid Flying on Summer Evenings
So, if you’re thinking about flying on a summer evening, you might want to reconsider. That’s when storms are most likely to pop up, and turbulence can get pretty intense. Plus, airports tend to be busier, which means longer waits and more delays. If you can, try to book your flights for earlier in the day to dodge the chaos.

NASA Has Detected Super-Earth Just a Stone's Th...
NASA just spotted a "super-Earth" not too far from us, and it's pretty wild! 🌍 This planet is bigger than Earth but smaller than Neptune, and it’s in what scientists call the “habitable zone,” meaning it could have the right conditions for water—and maybe even life. 🚀 Space is full of cool stuff like that, like how Jupiter’s moon Europa might have oceans beneath its icy crust, or how Venus used to have Earth-like conditions before turning into a fiery hot planet. Did you know there’s even a giant storm on Jupiter called the Great Red Spot that’s been raging for hundreds of years? 🌪️ Oh, and we’ve found entire planets made of diamonds out there! Space is full of surprises, and who knows what else we’ll discover next—maybe even neighbors on that super-Earth!

12 Unexpected Etiquette Rules from Around the W...
Do you know other countries’ food etiquette rules? 🍽 When you travel abroad and try the local cuisine, you might notice how a certain country’s table manners are very different from your own. Here are 12 quite unexpected food etiquette rules from across the globe! 🌎 TIMESTAMPS: Don’t use forks in Thailand 1:10 Don’t “clean your plate” in China 1:55 Be ready to share a plate in Ethiopia 2:39 In Italy, you’ll insult the chef if you ask for extra cheese 3:22 Don’t ask for salt and pepper in Portugal 4:05 Be careful with chopsticks in Japan 4:45 Don’t touch food with your left hand in the Middle East 5:32 Don’t just sip on your wine in Georgia 6:18 Don’t fill your own glass in Japan 6:56 Only drink cappuccino before noon in Italy 7:32 Guests are welcomed with half a cup of tea in Kazakhstan 8:21 A clean teapot is a teapot without a soul in China 9:17 Music by Epidemic Sound https://www.epidemicsound.com/ SUMMARY: In Thailand, picking food up with a fork is considered bad form. However, you are allowed to push food onto a spoon using a fork… that’s it! In China, however, it’s impolite to finish eating everything on your plate. Empty plates indicate that a host hasn’t served enough food and guests are still hungry. As you sit at the table in Ethiopia waiting for someone to give you a plate to eat from, you might miss the actual meal! Everyone else will just eat from one large serving plate in the middle of the table without using any cutlery. Although Italians do love this product, it’s considered rude to ask for extra cheese. It may insult the chef because they take it as you not liking the dish the way they’ve prepared it and wanting to change it. If you ask for salt or pepper in Portugal, you may hurt people’s feelings. It’s kinda like with Italy; the cook may feel insulted by the fact that you need to “spice up” the dish they’ve served you. According to tradition, people place chopsticks vertically during funerals. In a restaurant, doing this may insult the owner. In the Middle East, India, and some African countries, the left hand is used for…uh…cleaning yourself up after going to the bathroom. If you find yourself at a dinner party in Japan and wine is involved, never get a refill yourself. You’re supposed to fill the glass of the person sitting next to you at the table, and they’ll return the favor. Italians do drink cappuccinos, of course, but it’s mostly a breakfast drink or even a substitute for breakfast. But if you drink this milky foamy coffee later in the day, it can upset your stomach, at least according to the locals. When we think “tea ceremony,” we usually associate it with the UK and all their fancy tea-drinking etiquette. But it turns out there are plenty of tea fans in Kazakhstan, and they’ve got rules when it comes to drinking it as well. If you’ve been invited to a tea ceremony in China and offer your help with the dishes afterwards, don’t even think about washing that teapot! The Chinese don’t wash teapots, especially traditional clay ones, with dish liquid.

12 Mistakes That Can Make You Look Messy
There are some common subtle mistakes that can ruin your look and make you appear messy. Pay attention to these style tips and follow some simple rules to always look your best. Whether they’re darker or lighter, if you’ve got visible roots that are long overdue for a touch-up, it can make you appear ungroomed and sloppy. Save your wrists for cute accessories and put your hair ties away. A messy bun is perfect when you’re lounging around the house or heading to the gym, but it’s not appropriate for work. Even a flawless look can be spoiled by untidy nails. Shopping bags are perfect when you’re at the mall or grocery store. But it’s not a good idea to carry one every day along with your purse. It just makes you look cluttered and disheveled. Unless an essential part of your outfit is a bra strap slipping out from under your blouse or your panties peeking out from your waistline, this is never an appropriate look. Keeping your skin moisturized is rule number one for good skin care and fighting the onset of fine lines and wrinkles. If you’re trying to grow your hair out long, it doesn’t mean you shouldn’t periodically trim it and cut off the split ends. Whether it’s just a nervous habit or because a certain outfit is uncomfortable, if you keep pulling at or adjusting your clothing, it’s irritating for both you and the people around you. A bright lipstick applied to chapped lips makes the problem look way worse.

Artist: http://incompetech.com/ TIMESTAMPS Grown-out roots 0:32 Hair tie on a wrist 1:03 A messy bun 1:39 Hangnails and unkempt cuticles 2:18 The wrong shade of foundation or powder 2:56 Bag lady in training 3:33 Underwear showing 4:11 Dry skin 4:42 Split ends 5:18 Constantly adjusting your clothes 5:47 Lipstick on chapped lips 6:26 Pet hair on clothes 7:00 SUMMARY -If you’ve got visible roots that are long overdue for a touch-up, it can make you appear ungroomed and sloppy. -A hair tie isn’t a bracelet or a watch, and it goes only in your hair or purse. -Instead of carelessly swooping your hair up in a messy bun, take a few minutes to style it. -To always look your best, take care of your hands and nails regularly. -To find the perfect shade for you, put each shade on your chin and pick the one that best matches your neck. -Clean up the space and carry only what you need just in one bag. -If you don't want to give the wrong impression, make sure your underwear stays under your clothes. -If you normally have dry skin or you notice that your skin dries up quite easily, always carry a moisturizer or serum with you to freshen up. -When your ends start to split, it makes your hair look frizzy, knotted, and unhealthy. To avoid this unflattering look, have a hairdresser trim your ends for you. -Choose clothes that fit well and feel good. -Make it a rule not to use bright lipstick until your lips are healthy and smooth. -Always check for any pet hairs on you before you head out.

12 Style Rules Every Handsome Man Follows
If you want to look stylish no matter what occasion, all you have to do is follow some simple rules. We’re happy to introduce a style guide for men’s fashion to help guys look irresistible. The main thing that every man needs to know is that it's not enough to just buy a suit. You have to be able to wear it properly. The main thing is to avoid getting the wrong size. The jacket sleeves shouldn’t reveal too much of your shirt cuffs or cover up too much of your hand. You definitely don’t want the suit pants to be high-waters, but they shouldn’t be so long that they bunch up over your shoes. When it comes to picking the right shirt and tie, it’s important to remember that the main color of the tie should contrast with the shirt, and the secondary color should complete it. Pants can make or break your look, so you need to be especially careful when choosing them. Every stylish man knows the importance of choosing the right color socks. If you’re wearing shorts, you can only put socks on if you’re going to the gym. Try to avoid any wacky prints, at least if you’re leaving the house. There are certain colors that complement each other nicely. Others will clash and look tacky. As for popular hairstyles nowadays, you can try an undercut, a man-bun, a top knot, or a fade. Music: Diamond Ortiz – Seven Twenty https://www.youtube.com/audiolibrary/... TIMESTAMPS A real gentleman’s suit 0:33 How to make sure a suit fits you properly 1:30 Shirt and tie 2:01 Some practical advice 2:52 Pants 3:17 Shoes 3:39 Socks 4:57 Clothes you can never go wrong with 5:37 Acceptable color combinations 5:57 Garments that are best avoided 7:28 6 Ways to tie a scarf 7:52 Hairstyles 8:38 SUMMARY -Remember that just buying the right suit is not enough, you have to be able to wear it properly. -Make sure the suit isn't too small or too big. -When choosing your outfit, always start with the shirt, not the tie. Start by picking a main color for your shirt. -Never push your sleeves up so that it looks like you’re wearing an accordion on each arm - roll your cuffs up correctly. -Pants come in different lengths: full break, half break, quarter break, and no break, it's up to you to choose one to your liking. -Chose your shoes according to the color and style of your suit. -The color of your dress socks should match your suit pants. -If you’re not sure what to put on, you can’t go wrong with a dress shirt and V-neck sweater. -You can never go wrong with white as the main color of your outfit, both light and dark tones will go with it. -Try to avoid tight jeans, baggy T-shirts, shirts with a deep V-neck, and if you're a size 10 or bigger, steer clear of Chucks. -Note there are at least 6 ways to tie a scarf: The City Slicker, The Sophisticate, The Ivy-Leaguer, The Professor, The Artist, The Weekender. -Choose your hairstyle according to your face shape. And, you can never go wrong with the classics.

8 Psychological Tips On How To See Through People
You don’t need to be a psychic in order to read people’s minds. Those around you constantly give away their thoughts, feelings, and intentions without even realizing it. You just need to be really attentive to see right through them. Obviously, everybody’s different, each with their own mannerisms and peculiarities. That's why it's so important to understand what behavior is normal for a particular individual. Slight changes in their behavior or body language can speak volumes and allow you to read them like an open book. Analyzing all the information you have, you'll be able to understand someone’s personality a lot better without even spending that much time with them. In different cultures, there can be different rules. For example, in some countries, people look away to show their respect, not because they’re hiding something or feeling uncomfortable. They say you should never judge a book by its cover. That’s good advice and all, but a person’s appearance really can tell a lot about them. We like to spend more time with people who share our interests and personality traits. Watch who someone spends most their time with and how they treat other people. See if this person tries to make others comfortable or rudely annoys people without even noticing it. Music: Level Plane - Riot From Russia With Love - Huma-Huma https://www.youtube.com/audiolibrary/... TIMESTAMPS Define the norm 0:20 Observe and compare 1:05 Always mind the context 1:43 Check out how someone is dressed 2:19 What's with the face? 3:26 Watch their behavior in a group 5:12 Listen to how they articulate their thoughts 6:07 Trust your intuition 7:02 SUMMARY -Try to understand what behavior is normal for a particular individual, and then pay attention to anything the person does differently. -Pay attention to the details: how they carry themselves, how they communicate with other people, what secrets their body language reveals. -Always keep in mind the context of the situation: in different cultures, there can be different rules. -People, either willingly or subconsciously, show their true selves through their clothing choices. -Facial expressions can reveal a lot of things people would rather keep hidden. For example, when someone likes you, their facial muscles relax, the head tilts a bit to the side, and blood rushes to their lips, making them slightly plumper and brighter. -Watch who someone spends most their time with and how they treat other people. -Don’t just listen to what a person says, pay attention to how they say it. -Intuition can let you down from time to time, but the longer you keep listening to it and observing people, the better it’ll work.

12 Things to Avoid If You Want to Become Rich
If you want to be successful and rich, but something always seems to be standing in your way, you might be making one of the most common mistakes that prevent us from getting more money. Financial experts and world-famous business magnates and Facebook COO share some simple rules how to make more money and save it. In her book Secrets of Six-Figure Women, Barbara Stanny explains that women who don’t earn much have a lot in common. Too many of them are ready to settle for a lower salary because they underestimate themselves as professionals and even see their achievements as a mere coincidence or just good luck. On the other hand, men tend to overestimate their professional skills, and that’s what helps them climb to the top. All work must be paid for and working on your own time is only acceptable in rare emergency situations. If your responsibilities have increased but your salary hasn’t, don’t be afraid to ask for a promotion. There are lots of reasons why people spend more time at work than they are scheduled: poor time management, an urge to show that you’re a super responsible employee and having confidence in your own indispensability. But constantly working overtime won’t help you earn more money at all. If you love your job, you’ll do it with pleasure and excitement, helping you increase productivity. And your boss will notice your sincere devotion and enthusiasm and become interested in your professional growth. If you're scared to make a complete change right away, take small steps towards your dream job. Money can open a lot of doors for you, but it shouldn’t be the primary reason for having a certain job. Don't forget that nothing stands still, the world is always changing. You might earn enough today, but nobody knows what tomorrow brings. Broaden your horizons as often as you can, additional knowledge never hurt nobody! Take risks and believe in yourself. Doing at least a little bit more every day and changing the game is a sure-fire way to the top! Music: Diamond Ortiz - Seven Twenty https://www.youtube.com/audiolibrary/... TIMESTAMPS Underestimating your professional value 0:45 Working for free 1:43 Being afraid to ask for a promotion 2:25 Forgetting that time is money 3:12 Constant late nights at work 4:07 Looking ahead instead of looking around 4:58 Not asking yourself the most important question 5:46 Considering money the main goal 6:36 Settling for the status quo 7:16 Using work to hide from personal problems 8:03 Neglecting your health and appearance 8:54 Only doing the bare minimum 9:45 SUMMARY -If you think you’re not qualified enough for a certain position, it mentality keeps you from shooting for higher pay rates or positions. Believe in yourself and you can shatter that glass ceiling to shreds! -Remember all work must be paid for and working on your own time is only acceptable in rare emergency situations. -If you're waiting for the perfect moment to ask for a promotion, statistics say it’s the first half of Friday. -Always be careful with your time because, unfortunately, you can't get it back. -Come up with your own unique schedule instead of spending all night at the office, constantly working overtime won’t help you earn more money at all. -Don’t ignore other spheres around you that don’t necessarily correlate with your own, this way you’ll only contribute to further success. -Don't waste your time at a job you hate, start doing what you love, and success will follow. -The most unreasonable thing is staying at a job to earn money just for the sake of earning money. -Each day, try to do a little more than you did the day before. That’ll kick start you in the right direction to success. -Try to resolve your personal conflicts and misunderstandings right away so that they don’t become a huge burden that makes your life miserable. -Scientists think that tall thin people have better developed social skills, their emotional intelligence level is higher, and they’re more confident. -To show interest in your professional growth, try to do more than everyone expects of you. Take initiative if you see that your idea can optimize the working process.

A Chance to Survive a Plane Crash
You have a chance to survive a plane accident if you follow certain important rules. Your chances of dying in a plane crash are about one in 11,000,000, but it’s better to be prepared anyway. Not all plane accidents are fatal. Sometimes the aircraft can lose altitude, slide off the runway, or get into extreme turbulence without any passengers dying or even getting injured. The US National Transportation Safety Board study of past commercial aircraft accidents and calculated there’s a 95% survival rate on those. If you have a choice when buying tickets, choose larger planes and pick the right seat. An aisle seat within a five-row distance from the exit row in the back of the plane is the safest option. You’ll need less time to escape from it. Don’t dress to impress as you’re getting ready to get on board – dress to survive instead. Put on comfy jeans and sports shoes. Wear 100% organic cotton or wool. Those material don’t melt, unlike the synthetic fabrics. Flight crash statistics show that around 80% of all crashes happen during the first three minutes after takeoff and the last eight minutes before landing. So, it’s critically important that you stay focused and alert during those time intervals. When the plane is making an emergency landing, the crew will ask you to brace for impact. If there is a seat in front of you, cross your hands on it and place your forehead on top of the hands to protect your head from injuries. If there is no seat in front of you to lean on, bend over as far as you can, grab your knees and rest your head on them. Keep it down until the plane stops. Cover your head with your hands for extra protection. Once you’ve survived a crash landing, you only have 90 seconds to escape the aircraft. Music: https://www.youtube.com/audiolibrary/... TIMESTAMPS If possible, choose larger planes 0:40 Pick the right seat 2:07 Dress appropriately 3:49 Study the safety card and listen to flight attendants 4:50 Remember the Plus 3/Minus 8 rule 5:46 Brace for impact 6:45 Be prepared to escape in 90 Seconds 7:46 Follow the general safe escape rules 8:39 SUMMARY -Airlines operating larger jets always follow the super strict safety regulations. Smaller airplanes of regional carriers have a somewhat higher accident rate. -Your chances of survival are much higher if you’re sitting in the exit row, or a within a five-row distance from it. -To increase your safety levels, wear 100% organic cotton or wool, and avoid high heels and tight clothing. -Don’t ignore the safety instruction and watch the flight crew point the emergency exits nearest to you, as well. -Stay focused and alert during the first three minutes after takeoff and the last eight minutes before landing. -In case of an emergency landing, brace for impact. -You will have no time for hesitation or panic since all you’ve got is 90 seconds to escape the plane. -Once the plane is on ground or water, unfasten your seatbelt, and quickly move to the exit. Don’t take your carry-on with you – keep your hands free!

10 Mistakes You Make While Taking Care of Your ...
How to whiten your teeth and see the dentist less often? Why brushing your teeth too hard might be dangerous? Here are the 10 most common mistakes and myths about taking care of your teeth. "What do I do wrong?", thousands of people ask themselves before their appointment at the dentist. "I brush my teeth twice a day and still come to my dentist as regularly as if it was my job!" Are you one of those people? Do you believe that brushing your teeth twice a day "keeps a doctor away"? We have a surprise for you: that's far from being enough for a perfect smile. TIMESTAMPS Don't press the toothbrush too hard 0:50 Pay attention to the food you eat 1:21 Use additional tooth-cleaning devices 2:03 Don't use water to rinse your mouth 2:39 Take care of your gums 3:16 Get your tooth tartar removed 3:54 You are never too old for dental braces 4:39 Don't chew only on one side of our mouth 5:13 Don't keep our toothbrush in the bathroom 5:52 Teach your kids to take care of their teeth properly 6:31 SUMMARY Try not to be too "pushy" while cleaning your teeth. Also, take into consideration that a softer toothbrush will be more effective. What is more, choose the one with a small head - it will be easier to reach all the corners of your mouth. We usually receive the necessary everyday dose of fluorine with water. However, if you live in a region where the water has a low concentration of fluorine, you should eat more foods containing this element, such as milk, salt, etc. You can also obtain an oral irrigator. It is like a shower for your teeth and gums which you can use after each brushing session. Instead of rinsing your mouth, just spit toothpaste. Also, you can use mouthwash. But try not to drink anything for about thirty minutes after brushing your teeth. To make your gums stronger, you need to massage them with your toothbrush or finger with circular movements. Eat solid food, and chew it thoroughly. Have a hygienic cleaning procedure at least once a year. Your dentist can advise you on the proper frequency for your teeth condition. If you feel embarrassed to wear regular braces, you can always choose invisible lingual ones which are placed on the back side of the teeth. Don't hesitate to make an appointment with an orthodontist. Pay attention when eating, try to chew your food on both sides of your mouth. Don't forget to eat solid food, such as fruit and vegetables. It will make your teeth stronger. A good idea is at least to cover your toothbrush with a lid. But better still, keep it in your cabinet or nightstand. And always close the lid of the toilet bowl before you flush. Teach your children to brush their teeth carefully. Perhaps it's worth taking the procedure of fissure sealing (a specific dental treatment intended to prevent tooth decay).

10 Amazing Things You Did Before You Were Born
Find out some pretty amazing facts about what you could do before you were even born. The life of a baby in his mom’s belly is way more exciting than you could possibly imagine. Whether it’s thumb sucking or listening to your favorite tunes, there’s so much fun going on in there. It turns out babies can develop a love for certain foods their mom ate a lot of during pregnancy. Babies in the womb have sleep cycles. Week 32 or even earlier is the time they go through their first REM cycle. Babies are not only physically connected to their moms but also emotionally, so they can get scared from time to time and even silently cry. Babies actually pee in the womb, but their urine has no smell and it’s sterile, so it’s not as gross as it sounds. Babies that are overdue or had some stress in mom’s belly can actually poop before they’re born, but it’s uncommon. In the 6th month of pregnancy, embryos give their mothers a fun time when they start getting hiccups that make the belly jump up. Probably the most adorable thing an embryo can do is smiling. TIMESTAMPS Tasting food 0:31 Sucking a thumb 1:24 Dreaming and yawning 1:57 Distinguishing voices and tunes 2:48 Crying 3:48 Peeing 4:52 Pooping 5:31 Breathing underwater 6:27 Getting the hiccups 7:03 Smiling 7:29 SUMMARY -By week 9 in the womb, babies have developed a mouth, tongue, and small taste buds. -At week 12 in your mom’s belly, you started sucking your thumb for comfort and to explore their cool newly accessible body parts. -Week 32 or even earlier is the time babies start dreaming just like we do. -Babies distinguish and love hearing their mom’s voice before they’re even born. -A phenomenon known as “silent crying” develops in embryos at 28 weeks. -Babies urinate every 45 minutes and the urine actually stays right there in the womb. -Not all babies actually defecate in the womb, but we all do accumulate stuff that could be considered embryonic “poop”. -At 27 weeks in the womb, babies start to practice breathing that doesn’t involve oxygen. -Hiccups are a sign of healthy lung development. -Babies practice smiling, along with other facial expressions, inside the womb.

10 Morning Habits You Should Say Goodbye To
We all have morning habits that are dangerous for our health. Change your life with some easy steps. If your mornings always start off with a cup of black coffee and a steaming hot shower, then you have cause for concern. Find out which morning habits it’s time to bid good riddance to. Never hit the “snooze button” on your alarm because it messes up your sleep cycles. Always take cold showers in the morning to get the energy for the day. Research shows that 80% of all smartphone users check their gadgets first thing in the morning. Don’t do it to save your time and nerves. Let the sun in or switch on the lights. Mornings are hectic enough, so don’t make it worse by wasting time choosing your clothes. It’s actually healthier to eat a slice of pizza in the morning than a bowl of cereal. Always wait 30 minutes after meals before brushing your teeth. If you really can’t go without your cup of morning coffee, add a little milk or cream to it. TIMESTAMPS Hitting the “snooze” button 0:30 Skipping on showering 1:20 Taking hot showers 2:00 Checking your phone 2:53 Getting ready in the dark 3:35 Wasting time on your outfit 4:15 Eating cereal 5:11 Brushing your teeth after eating 6:10 Drinking black coffee 7:04 Making the bed right away 7:55 SUMMARY -Don’t try to extend your sleep for another 10 minutes: your body starts a sleep cycle that it won’t finish in such a short time. -Help your brain become more alert and less likely to be distracted by outside factors by taking a shower. -Taking cold showers helps you feel refreshed, stimulates brain activity, and strengthens your immune system. -Stop wasting your time checking in on other people’s lives and spend more time on our own. -Getting ready in the dark tricks your brain into thinking it’s still nighttime. -Cut the amount of outfit choices you have not to waste your time picking the perfect one. -Eat a slice of pizza in the morning than a bowl of cereal. -Rinse your mouth out with water and use dental floss to pick out any remaining food from your teeth. -The best time to have your first cup of coffee is three or four hours after waking up. -Take the comforter completely off the bed after you wake up to let the sheets dry.

15 Easy Tips That Will Probably Help You Lose W...
In case you don’t want to fall for a marketing trick promising instant weight loss but achieve actual results and drop some pounds quickly and for good, this video is just what you’ve been looking for. Music: Coffee Stains - Riot https://www.youtube.com/audiolibrary/... TIMESTAMPS Don't restrict the variety, increase it. 0:24 Watch your portions. 1:10 Give credit where credit’s due: to you! 1:54 Don’t underestimate the power of sleep. 2:27 You’re not dieting to look good but to feel good. 3:00 You’ve got to keep track of the calories. 3:41 Don't follow the herd, choose your diet wisely. 4:09 Snacking isn't as bad as you think. 4:42 Eat when you're hungry, not when you're bored. 5:14 Don't be too hard on yourself. 5:57 Liposuction isn't the answer. 6:32 Not all fats make you fat. 7:08 Pay attention to the meds you're taking. 7:49 Fast weight loss isn't actually fat loss. 8:24 Fiber can help you lose weight quicker. 9:20 SUMMARY -Stop torturing yourself with impossible restrictions and add a little extra on that plate, just make sure that it’s plenty of veggies or nuts. -To satisfy your hunger, serve yourself fruit or grilled veggies so that your urge to eat more doesn't spoil your diet regimen. -Don’t forget to mention the commitment YOU showed to lose weight and the effort YOU put in to do it when you achieve good results. -Getting less than 7 to 9 hours of sleep per night ramps up the hunger hormone ghrelin and decreases the satiety hormone leptin. -To lose weight for good, you need to adopt an all-around lifestyle change that includes what you eat, how you prepare food, and how often you move your body. -If you keep track of the number of calories you’re consuming, you’ll always be aware of what and how much you eat and will achieve your goal faster. -Assess your own body first and choose a diet plan that’s suited for you personally. -Any snack that’s rich in protein won't only make you feel fuller, it’ll also keep the cravings under control. -If you’re not sure whether it’s emotions or physical hunger that’s taken you to the fridge, imagine eating a carrot stick. -Cravings are totally natural and that their intensity varies from person to person, so don’t beat yourself up for giving in sometimes. -Not only do you have to lose a certain amount of weight before the surgery, you also have to keep it under control afterwards. -Full-fat dairy products, nuts, and plant-based fats promote weight loss, not inhibit it. -Avoid the pills and go for creams and ointments when it comes to struggling with allergies and extra weight. -Fast weight loss isn’t sustainable and is usually regained back fast and results in a cycle of yo-yo dieting, which messes up your metabolism. -When adding fiber to your diet, it's very important to drink water throughout the day to prevent bloating.

TIMESTAMPS Why do I doze off in front of the TV, but can’t fall asleep in bed? 0:39 Why do our scars and tattoos stay with us forever if our cells are constantly renewing? 1:28 Do babies poop in the womb? 2:06 What time zone do astronauts on the ISS use? 2:58 Why can animals drink water from different rivers and puddles and be just fine, but humans can’t do it? 3:37 Why do we cry when we're sad? 4:12 Why do we love unhealthy food so much? 5:03 Why is it that we can easily walk a couple of miles, yet we get so uncomfortable from just standing for 10 or 15 minutes? 5:50 Is there such a thing as heart cancer? 6:35 Why is “W” called “double-u” and not “double-v”? 7:09 What’s the meaning of simple little boxes you check that say, “I’m not a robot”? 7:47 Why is it so hard to pour water straight into a cup without it running down the pitcher and spilling on the table? 8:39 SUMMARY -When we're zoning out to some show on the tube, we’re so relaxed that our brain stops analyzing things it normally would. Yet when you're lying in bed, there are constantly some personal stresses or other random thoughts coming to your head out of the blue. -Some cells, like the epidermis are constantly replacing themselves. But scars and tattoos are connected to a deeper layer of skin called the dermis, which is renewed way slower. -We all swam in our own harmless pee, but pooping happens after the baby is born. -Astronauts don’t really use a time zone but something called Coordinated Universal Time. -A good cry serves as a breathing exercise that helps us deal with stress. And when it comes to slimy snot, it’s also tears. -Our love for unhealthy foods goes back to our ancestors. There was no concept of “a healthy, balanced diet” back then. -When we walk, blood gets pushed out of the veins thanks to muscle activity. But when we just stand still, the valves keep getting filled with more and more blood, and it creates the discomfort. -Heart cancer is a real, yet very rare type of cancer. -At first, “V” was written like “U” because the ancient Romans didn't have the letters “W” and “V” in their writing system. -When you click the “I’m not a robot” button, Google gets access to tons of your information, even data on your cursor movement, among other things to find out if you’re really human. -There is tendency of a fluid stream to stay attached to a convex surface. If the liquid flow is heavy, everything's alright, but when it's light, the water starts running down the teapot and onto the table.
