LIFE HACK #106

When studying your country’s history, always make sure to ALSO read books or articles that are from a different country.

By engaging with narratives from various cultural vantage points, you unlock the doors to a wealth of perspectives, enabling you to piece together a more holistic and interconnected tapestry of human history.

LIFE HACK #107

During your next meal, pay heed to your nose. If it becomes runny or you experience sniffles, it could be a histamine reaction—a signal from your body indicating satiety.

Histamine is a natural compound released in response to allergens or certain foods. In this context, it suggests your body has reached its intake limit. Some symptoms include nasal congestion, sneezing, or itching.

Acknowledging these signs can contribute to a more attuned and balanced approach to eating, fostering a mindful connection between your body's responses and your dietary habits for overall well-being.

LIFE HACK #108

Stop washing your rice down the drain! This is the most common culprit for kitchen drain clogs.

When rice meets your pipes, it gradually hardens, forming a concrete-like blockage. This build-up leads to costly plumbing issues, prompting emergency calls to fix the mess.

Spare yourself the expense and hassle by tossing leftover rice in the trash. Keep your drains clear, avoid the concrete conundrum, and ensure smooth plumbing. Your wallet and pipes will thank you!
