Our bodies exhibit subtle health signals every day. These signals may seem strange, yet harmless, leaving us puzzled. However, if you can truly understand their meaning, you can address them early, leading to excellent health, a cheerful mood, and good luck throughout the year.
Eyelid twitching, numbness in the hands and feet, tinnitus, joint cracking, and yawning that seems to catch something from others – many people don't take these seemingly insignificant problems seriously. However, everything happens for a reason, and these seemingly minor symptoms actually indicate that the body is being disturbed by some factor and is not feeling well.
My eyelids keep twitching. Is something going to happen?
●You don't actually believe in the saying "left eye twitching means good fortune, right eye twitching means bad luck," do you? If your eyelids are constantly twitching, it's very likely because you're a coffee or wine lover, or you're under a lot of stress. When stress is excessive or you consume too much caffeine or alcohol, your eyes are stimulated but don't get enough rest, leaving your eyelids in a "disordered" state, resulting in frequent twitching. Over time, this can affect the function of your heart, liver, spleen, and kidneys.
● Try reducing your intake of caffeine or alcohol. At the same time, wash your eyes with cold water every two hours while working and massage your temples. This will improve your vision and relieve physical fatigue. If you persist, the eyelid twitching will disappear silently.

What to do about hiccups
●A hiccup is a failed inhalation. When eating or drinking too quickly, the diaphragm and chest muscles contract, triggering an involuntary inhalation. Air cannot reach the lungs, and the muscle contraction blocks the trachea, resulting in a hiccup. If hiccups are continuous, it indicates a slight decrease in gastrointestinal function, requiring some relaxation.
● Try pressing your stomach with your palm every day; this can promote digestion and give it more energy to work. If hiccups persist, firmly grasp the middle finger of your other hand with one hand and squeeze hard; this should stop the hiccups.
●In a sense, this isn't a bad thing, because when the hands and feet are subjected to excessive pressure, the signals transmitted to the brain are interfered with. If numbness is felt at this time, it proves that blood is starting to flow back and the connection with the brain is becoming smoother. However, if it takes a long time for the numbness in the hands and feet to appear, it's important to pay attention to whether blood circulation is obstructed. If this is not addressed promptly, it can increase the risk of blood clots.
●Try this: First, if you experience slow reaction to numbness in your hands and feet, and it takes a long time to feel it after being pressed, please seek medical attention promptly to rule out blood clots. Also, try moving your hands and feet to increase your brain's attention to them. The best way to do this is to relax and swing your limbs during work breaks; it's simple, easy, and highly effective.

Why do I have tinnitus even without loud noises ?
●Tinnitus has many causes. It could be a simple reaction of the eardrum to changes in atmospheric pressure, or it could be caused by chronic sleep deprivation and auditory dysfunction. If it occurs frequently, you should take care of your ears!
●Try to develop the habit of swallowing saliva, which is the greatest relief for the ears, allowing them to rest temporarily; in addition, chewing gum with your mouth wide open can also fully exercise the eardrums, making the ears more immune and reducing the chance of tinnitus.
Why do joints crack?
●Our joints are actually surrounded by gas. When subjected to external force, the joint releases air bubbles, and you hear a popping sound. However, if the popping is accompanied by pain, or even affects walking, then it's likely arthritis.
● In addition to keeping warm and reducing joint wear and tear, try eating more deep-sea fish oil containing Omega-3 to increase joint lubrication. Also, drinking enough water is a good way to lubricate joints; 1.5 liters per day is ideal.
Why do I yawn when other people yawn?
●This is actually a form of empathy revealed by an unconscious, natural reaction. Like negative emotions, drowsiness is contagious. If you yawn along with others, your body is telling you, "I really want to rest!"
●Try going outdoors for 3 minutes to breathe fresh air. Be sure to keep your mouth closed and breathe through your nose so that the fresh air can truly enter your body and participate in all the work inside, making you feel refreshed immediately.
● When the body feels cold, or experiences tension, fear, or panic, small muscles under the skin contract rapidly, causing hair to stand on end. The force of these hairs creates a small bump on the surrounding skin, which is what we call goosebumps. This actually proves that the body's emergency response capability is not very strong; small changes occur every time there is a sudden situation.
●Try rubbing your skin back and forth as much as possible during your rest time in the morning, noon and evening to increase blood circulation and raise skin temperature, making your skin more adaptable. Goosebumps will no longer appear, whether there are temperature changes or when you are nervous or scared.

Onions are my tearjerker; I can't help but cry every time I cut onions. Is this bad for my eyes?
●Onions contain an enzyme called propanethaldehyde sulfoxide, which, when released, stimulates the delicate tear glands, causing tears to flow rapidly!
●Try it out; it's not a bad thing. Frequent tearing can wash away impurities from the eyeballs and protect vision and the cornea. However, if you're really afraid of onion "attacks," firstly, gently scrape your upper eyelids with your index finger daily to increase your eyes' resistance; secondly, before cutting onions, try freezing them to slow down the release of enzymes, thus reducing the likelihood of your precious "golden tears" flowing out!
● Sneezing in the sun is a sign of allergic rhinitis.
Correct answer: Actually, it might be a misunderstanding. The sudden change in light stimulates the optic nerve, which in turn stimulates the trigeminal nerve, causing a person to sneeze unconsciously. Furthermore, a US study shows that 18% to 35% of our sneezes occur under direct sunlight. So please don't worry unnecessarily.
● Passing gas more often can detoxify and promote longevity!
Correct answer: You think that farting a lot is how you expel toxins from your body? You're only half right. If you're constantly farting, and the smell is terrible and lingers for a long time, it means your body is telling you that there's a problem with your digestive system. Please rethink your diet and focus on a lighter approach!
