If you ate one too many sugar cookies and your stomach is in knots, hum a holiday tune. Doing so can quash GI pain in a hurry. That’s because the vagus nerve links the brain to organs throughout the body, including the stomach, heart, and lungs. And stimulating this nerve, which is connected to the neck, with just 45 seconds of humming has been shown to help treat a variety of health conditions, including GI distress, depression, and anxiety.
The childlike way to STRENGTHEN AGING BONES
Permission to skip grueling workouts to bolster your bones in favor of having a little fun! It turns out, to encourage healthy new bone growth and stop further bone loss as you age, all you have to do is jump. The impact of simply hopping around for a few minutes coaxes more calcium into bones, which significantly increases bone density and helps prevent painful fractures if you ever take a tumble. For best results, do three sets of 10 hops each day, keeping a sturdy chair nearby for stability if needed.
