HEALTH TIPS AND WEIRD FACTS: BECAUSE YOUR BRAIN AND BODY DESERVE IT.

HEALTH TIPS YOU DID NOT KNOW YOU NEEDED 

*Drink water before meals
A glass of water 30 minutes before eating improves digestion and helps you avoid overeating.

*Get early morning sunlight 
Just 10–15 mins of sun boosts your mood and helps regulate your sleep cycle with natural vitamin D.

*Keep your phone away from your bed
Sleeping next to your phone = more brain fog, more light interference, and less rest.

*Follow the 20-20-20 Rule
Staring at a screen? Every 20 minutes, look at something 20 feet away for 20 seconds. Your eyes deserve peace too.

*Try the 4-7-8 breathing technique
Breathe in for 4 seconds, hold for 7, breathe out for 8. Instant calm for anxiety or stress.

*Snack on fruits instead of processed stuff.
Fruits are packed with vitamins and fiber — and way less sugar than soda or pastries.

*Stand up every 30–60 minutes
Especially if you sit a lot. Just standing or stretching gets your blood flowing and helps avoid fatigue.

*Add lemon to your water.
It boosts vitamin C, supports digestion, and gives a lil’ refreshing kick.

*Wash your pillowcase weekly
Oil, sweat, and bacteria build up fast. Clean pillowcases = clearer skin.

*Smile even if it’s fake 
Your brain still gets the happy signal. Smiling helps reduce stress and boost your mood.

WEIRD FACTS YOU CANNOT UNKNOW 

*Bananas are berries. Strawberries are not.
Botanically speaking, bananas meet the requirements of a berry. Strawberries don’t. 

*You can’t hum while holding your nose.
No airflow, no hum. Weird but true. Try it! 

*You have more bacteria than human cells.
You’re 43% human and 57% tiny microbes, most of them friendly!

*Sneezes can fly up to 100 mph 
That’s faster than some sports cars. Cover up, please.

*Laughter burns calories
About 10–40 calories per 10–15 minutes. So technically, comedy is cardio.

*Your stomach lining renews every 3–4 days
Otherwise, your stomach acid would digest your own stomach. Wild, right?

*Chewing gum can boost memory and focus
It increases blood flow to the brain and helps some people concentrate better, just don’t overdo it.

*Humans glow in the dark (kind of)
We give off a tiny amount of light, but it’s 1,000 times too faint to see.

*You’re taller in the morning than at night
Spinal discs compress during the day, making you slightly shorter by bedtime.

*Your heartbeat syncs with music you’re listening to
Especially if the rhythm is steady. So yes, your heart vibes with the beat.
