Incredibly Strange Stuff you can do to improve your health (both mental and physical)

Gargling with hydrogen peroxide.

The greatest immediate effect of gargling with hydrogen peroxide has got to be the funky fizz that bubbles out the corners of your mouth, even after rinsing with water. Yes my friends, that is bliss in its purest form. Why is it such a good idea, then, to use this off-tasting antiseptic in your precious pie hole?

Well first, consider the safe bleaching effect it can slowly take (If done regularly and effectively) on your teeth. And do not fret, I've questioned my dentist on this one. It is true, peroxide will slowly bleach your teeth safely, whilst at the same completely cleaning your mouth and killing all bacteria. The only reason people don't usually do it? The taste. (Ed. Note: Suck it up you pansies, it's good for you!)

Scratching and rubbing your own head.

So an old friend stops by and notices that you are incessantly rubbing your own head. Your hair is now disheveled and, well, you look plum stupid. Ah, but there is a good side as well.

Rubbing your own head promotes healthy circulation in the highest point on your body, thus improving the health of your scalp and preventing baldness. This is something for women to consider with their husbands. Don't want him to go bald? Rub his head. We all know women don't do nice things for guys unless they get something in return. haha.. sorry. Quit looking at me like that.

Sleeping in the light of a window during the cold months.

It's commonplace to see a dog, cat, or ferret sleeping under a window in the colder months, right? I know I've seen it plenty of times. Now why do you think the animal does it? And would you look stupid doing the same?

Who cares? It's good for you. In the cold months we tend to get far less sun than in warmer months, and so we may grow pallid and so on so forth. But the real consideration is Vitamin D. This is a naturally occuring vitamin your body creates when exposed to sunlight. When lacking Vitamin D, many things can go wrong, including depression. By simply basking in the sunlight beside your schnauzer, you can help yourself dodge those winter dull drums.

Laying with your legs slung over your head.

Wow, this one just about takes the cake! I am going to lay down, throw my legs over my head and just lay there? You realize I feel like a Buddhist after guzzling an ounce of nutmeg after a one day fast? No, I see no logic to this at all.

You might see no logic until you've done it. If you leave your legs there long enough, it will eventually reveal the secret. (Hint- do just previous to bathing or going to bed. Not always the best idea before going on dates or clubbing.)

Have you ever deflated a balloon? (Ed. Note: I'm not sure if this tip violates our family-friendly policy, but I'll let it slide ;)

Bring a little black book with you.

People might misconstrue your intent and believe you're a belligerent homicidal maniac. But that's alright. No really, it's Ok. This keeps stalkers off your back and makes people, in a general sense, treat you with respect.

The true reason for doing this? It's a ledger. You can carry it around with you at all times, and If you make any type of transaction with your money, be it a deposit or an card purchase, you can quickly deduct or add to your account's balance and know your financial situation. Yet, if all this ledger contains is amounts, and no actual information in reference to your account, losing it is no travesty. And if it's stolen, perhaps the thief will be able to study it and learn how to add and subtract. Thus enabling them to get a real job.
