Great Debate, Chicken Soup Does vs Doesn’t Cure the Flu. Stupid Tip of the Day:

Stupid Tip of the Day:Great Debate, Chicken Soup Does v.s. Doesn’t Cure the Flu.

So you’ve heard it from both sides about chicken soup and the flu. Which side is true?

Chicken soup does have healing properties. There are a lot of nutrients in real chicken broth. The vegetables have vitamins. And, chicken itself has protein. The warmth of the soup can soothe a sore throat and warm your body’s core which can reduce a fever. These are all good strategies for you when battling sickness.

As for the “cure” part? The only cure it surely has is, curing hunger. But, it’s important to keep eating when you are sick, so your body doesn’t attack itself from starvation or dehydration, and only attacks the virus.

So I say, if you like chicken soup or you need to eat, grab a spoon and eat the chicken soup. It will give comfort and nutrition to help you keep your strength in fighting the flu.

Curl up your finger, use the flat part in between the knuckles and start at the top of the side of your nose where the eyebrow starts. Apply a fair amount of pressure and pause. Repeat pressure and pause along the whole side of your nose. (you may hear popping and crackling as you move downward)

Once at the nostril, slide finger with pressure across the cheek towards the ear. When you get to the ear, slide down the neck, still with slight pressure.

Use same process on the other side of the nose to clear that side. Repeat process when necessary.

Sinus infections can become a secondary problem after the flu. Mucus can be quite thick and cause blockage in the sinus, this trigger point system can help breakdown that blockage and prevent pain from a swollen tube filled with thick mucus. Call your doctor immediately, if you think you may have an infection or if symptoms don’t go away or get worse after several days.

Water on Frozen Windshield. Stupid Tip of the Day:

Water on Frozen Windshield. Stupid Tip of the Day:

So, the ice is pretty thick on the windshield and you are in a rush. You may have hear water gets it off quickly, but was that warm water? Hot water? No! Getting ice off the windshield takes cold water.

Cold water will take off the ice, where warm or hot water could break or crack your windshield.

A good way to get the ice off quickly is, put the cool water in a spray bottle and spray the windshield in sections, while using a scraper to get off the clumps of ice. Depending how cold it is, wetting the whole windshield at once could freeze up quickly. So de-icing in sections, may sound time consuming, but can actually be a whole lot faster.

Adding rubbing alcohol to the water, will speed up the process faster, but use caution, rubbing alcohol is flammable and mark the spray bottle with it’s ingredients, so you don’t use it on other things, where the alcohol could not be helpful or may even be harmful.
