3 Stupid Simple Health Hacks (That Actually Work)

Wake up naturally.

Waking up with an alarm clock interrupts your natural sleep cycle. Circadian rhythms are synchronized to the light/dark cycle of the sun. Using an external means to wake up releases stress hormones and deprives your body of needed energy.

Waking up naturally does wonders for your health and productivity.

Breathing through you nose.

How we breathe has a major impact on our health. Breathing through your nose allows the lungs to extract oxygen efficiently. Mouth breathing can affect your skeletal structure, leading to sleep apnea, snoring, and possibly asthma or allergies.

Breathing incorrectly can also result in breathing too much, causing adrenaline and blood sugar to spike.

Intermittent Fasting.

Some research shows intermittent fasting can reduce inflammation, in addition to helping lose or maintain weight. It can lower your risk of obesity-related illnesses like diabetes, apnea, even some types of cancer. Intermittent fasting is safe for most, but not everyone.

Check with your doctor before starting any diet.
