Some health tricks everyone should know

1.How to get rid of oily face? Rub an ice-cube in your face for 30~40 secs before going to bed or before going out of your home. It will also prevent pimples from growing all over your face.

2. One cold shower a day will improve circulation, increase metabolism, tighten pores, boost immunity and alertness, and speed recovery from a tough workout. Do this in winter season too. You just need 2 mins of guts to do it. I personally do it too and, well, it has never disappointed me.

PS- Do not start doing it all of a sudden in winter season cause your body need to adapt to the changes. Switch over to cold water for the last couple of minutes for few days. Then, go in compelte cold water bath mode.

PS2- Cold shower prevents acne too. Yes, the same thing most people hates. It seals your pores and prevents dirt & bacteria from entering them.

3. When you're on a diet or trying to reduce weight, drink a glass of water prior to half-an hour before eating. It will stop you from eating heavy meals and regret it later.

4. Fill a glass with luke warm water, add the juice of half a lemon and one teaspoon of honey to it. Now stir the mixture well and drink it. Trust me, this honey-lemon process works and it has many other benefits other than glowing skin.

5. Practice at least 3 yogas daily. Include meditation in one of them. For the curious people, it is not a hype and not overrated. Do it for 2 weeks and you will surely feel a difference. I have been able to concentrate on stuffs much better than previous and memory has been improved to a bit.

6.What to Do If Someone May Be Having a Heart Attack

With one out of every seven deaths happening in the US because of heart disease, it's important to know the common signs of heart attacks and what you can do to help a person going through it. Sometimes the symptoms are obviously cardiac arrest (which would require CPR, above), and at other times they're not so dramatic and could just seem like heartburn. After calling for help, if the person is over the age of 16 and confirms he/she isn't allergic to aspirin—and isn't taking any medications that could interact with it—offer a tablet of aspirin, which the Mayo Clinic says could reduce damage to the heart.

7.How to Carry Someone Heavier Than You

Usually it's best to leave a person who's hurt where they are until medical help comes. You should never move a person who might have a head, neck, or spinal injury. In other cases, however, you might need to move someone to a safer location. If you're not very strong or that person is heavier than you, here's how to lift that person without hurting yourself in the process:

1. With the person facing you, take the person's arm and pull it over your shoulder
2. Kneel down or crouch down so the person's middle is against your shoulder
3. Thrust up with your legs and hips to stand. Don't lean forward or you'll hurt your back.
4. The person will now be hung over your shoulder and you can walk around.

WikiHow offers illustrated steps. It also recommends trying this on small people or children first, which could be awkward or entertaining depending on the guinea pig.

Hopefully you'll never need to put any of these life-saving tips into play, but whether you have a first aid kit on you or not, at least you'll know what to do just in case.
