Don’t judge a person’s body language based on one move.

Here’s some advice from the book, “The Silent Language Of Leaders: How Body Language Can Help or Hurt” by Dr. Carol Goman: Don’t judge a person’s body language based on one move. For example, you may have heard that people who are lying touch their nose because the stress of lying triggers histamine, which makes the nose itch. But that one move isn’t proof that someone’s lying. Instead, we should look for a cluster of behaviors. Like, they touch their nose, AND they’re sweating profusely, AND they avoid direct questions. When you combine all those, the person is probably lying.

Get ready to be more energized and alert in 2 minutes with a simple breathing technique. It comes from Ayurvedic medicine, a type of holistic, whole-body healing developed 3,000 years ago in India. And it’s based on the idea health and wellness is physical, mental AND emotional.

So what’s the Ayurvedic breathing technique?  Sit or stand comfortably, and use a finger to press your LEFT nostril shut. Then, breathe in slowly through your RIGHT nostril and exhale slowly. That activates nerve endings in the right nostril linked to alertness. And in 2 minutes you’ll have renewed focus and energy.

Do our noses keep growing?

You may have heard that noses never stop growing. So even the tiniest button nose may become a schnoz by the time a person is old and wrinkly. Well, our nose doesn’t actually keep growing. Instead, gravity takes its toll, dragging the tip of the nose down. Plus, the same thing that causes wrinkles – our skin’s collagen and elastin breaking down – affects the nose as well. The end result: Our nose starts to droop, making it look bigger as we age.

Don’t blow your nose too hard!

If you blow your nose with the force of a typhoon, you may be making yourself sicker in the process. That’s according to Dr. Neil Schachter, medical director of the Respiratory Care Department at New York’s Mount Sinai Hospital. He says, typically when we blow our nose, we produce 10 times as much pressure as when we sneeze or cough. And the more pressure, the more likely it is that mucus will shoot into our sinuses, spreading the infection. So how hard is too hard when blowing your nose?

Dr. Schachter says, if you don’t feel any pressure in your sinuses before you blow, but then feel it afterward, you’ve blown too hard. And beware of a crackling sound in your ears. That’s excess mucus being blown back into the middle ear – hello, ear infection. So if you’re completely congested, the best thing to do is to loosen mucus before you blow. You can do that by spraying a saline mist into your nose – give it a minute to settle in and work – then blow gently, one nostril at a time.

Here’s a quick tip for avoiding a cold this winter:

Keep your nose warm! Research at Yale University found that low temperatures make our immune system less effective, making it much easier for the cold virus to invade our system, and make us sick. So, try wrapping your face and nose in a scarf when it’s chilly outside……That way, the carbon dioxide you breathe out will warm the oxygen you breathe in – which will help keep the germs at bay.

Got seasonal allergies?

Try this acupressure trick: Arrange your three middle fingers in a triangle, and apply pressure just above the bridge of your nose, also known as your “third eye.” Do that for 30 seconds and repeat as needed. Cynthia Ribeiro, president of the American Massage Therapy Association, says that pressure point breaks up tension in the sinus cavity and relieves sinus headaches.

I’m talking about picking your nose. And according to Dr. Friedrich Bishinger, a top immunology doctor, it’s one of the best ways to stay healthy! The doctor claims that people who pick their noses are healthier than non-pickers. Because using a finger gets into places you can’t reach with a handkerchief, and keeps your nasal passages much cleaner. Just make sure your hands are clean, so you don’t transfer any infection-causing bacteria into your system. And don’t do it in public.

Why is your nose whistling?

It’s caused by air moving through a narrow space in your nose – which means, you’ve probably got some junk up there. Blowing your nose should help, but if it doesn’t, just wait until your congestion clears, or try a saline nasal rinse. However, see a doctor if the whistling starts immediately after an injury. A right hook to the face, or too much nose picking, can cause a perforated septum… Which is a hole in the wall between your nasal passages — and could possibly require surgery.

The reason to use a humidifier.

humidifier

One of the reasons we get more viruses in fall and winter is because the air is drier. A lack of humidity allows viruses to thrive and makes it harder for our nasal passages to trap and eliminate them. So keep a humidifier going at home. But make sure to keep it clean. Put about 5 drops of oregano, eucalyptus or peppermint oil in the water reservoir. The oil will reduce germs and make the air smell nice. However, you’ll still need to clean the reservoir weekly.
