Drastically reduce or eliminate alcohol intake. Your body and mind will thank you - balanced hormones, stronger immune system, better sleep, weight loss, clearer skin.

Prior to this year I would drink on average 3-4 nights per week (1-3 drinks each of those nights). There weren’t any issues with dependence or abuse, but I grew to hate my relationship with alcohol. I’m happy to report that my physical and mental health have greatly improved in just a few months since I cut back to 1-2 drinks per month (if that).

If you have lower back pain or sciatica try gluteus medius burnouts. Use a chair or table to steady yourself and raise one leg straight out to the side as high as you can and hold that until it feels like your hip is on fire and trying to cramp. Repeat on the other side. It sounds crazy but it can eliminate lower back pain instantly.

This may sound really dumb and/or gross but get one of those big bags of pitted "dried plums" (AKA prunes) from Costco and eat 4 or 5 before bed with a big glass of water.

You'll have a BM every morning, even if you ate a bunch of low-fiber s**t the day before, so you'll feel better during the day and it'll reduce your risk of colon cancer.

Using your fingers to help with indigestion. If you press on the area between your pinky and ring finger for a minute, it can help ease bloating and discomfort. This spot is known as the small intestine point and it’s a simple way to find relief after a heavy meal, because you can do it anywhere.

Sleep with a pillow under your knees if you sleep flat on your back, trust me 🤠.

Helps align and straighten your spine, especially helpful if you work in trades. If you're a side sleeper put a pillow between your knees and it'll help a bunch.

Eating can interrupt the crying process. Your body has to focus on keeping a clear airway while you eat, so you aren't able to cry as easily. It's good for moments when you can't cry despite feeling sad (e.g. at work) 🙃 I recommend Snickers bars!

If you are exhausted or feeling low that day, a 20-30 min power nap will recharge your energy for your afternoon. In Spanish culture this is called *siesta* or lunch nap, though it's common in Asia and Middle East.

When you do pullups, try to imagine yourself pulling your elbows down, not pulling your body up. It's a mental trick that can make them feel easier, because it forces you to use the muscles in your back more.

Scientists studying hiccups theorized that they are a leftover mechanism from when humans were fish and had gills. Simply remind yourself that you are not a fish and they will go away. Regardless of whether the reason is true or not, your brain will stop them. Try it next time. Say "I am not a fish, I don't need to use this anymore" to yourself, and they will go away.

Eating a small snack that includes complex carbohydrates before bed, like a banana or oatmeal, can help improve sleep quality. Carbs help your brain produce serotonin and melatonin, which regulate sleep.

I think that the best crazy body life hack because we need to sleep good !!
