How HEALTHY are YOU?

Japanese TV has a LOT of interesting stuff. I was watching TV while ironing my clothes and there was some random show that caught my eye. They were doing a quick "test" to see if you're body is healthy. It's real easy and would like all you guys to try it out.

Grab your ear and fold it in half.
Make the Top part of your ear touch the Bottom part (your earlobe).
The fold will appear in the center towards the back of your head.

does it Hurt? do you not feel a thing?

This check tests to see if you have good blood circulation throughout your body. So now i know you're asking which is better. should it hurt? or not?
The answer is NOT. If you have good blood circulation, you should not feel pain. Those of you who felt pain, there are ways to remedy this. FYI: this was common in more FEMALES than males.

what this means? it means that you'll get sick frequently, and usually cold.

If you're one of those, you're in luck. theres a way to increase your blood circulation!!
the best way is to put water in a bottle (40 degrees c) wrap the bottle with a wet towel and put against the small of your back. do this 2 times a day for about 15 minutes. Make sure the towel is wet. it contributes moisture to the skin and promotes better circulation.

another good excersize (according to the tv show) is to do the following.
1. Lie down on your back.
2. Lift up your arms and legs (towards the ceiling).
3. Move your limbs up and down. Like you're dog paddling.
*if you cant strech your limbs all the way up, its ok.
Move them in small motions, it does not have to be agressive. do this 2 times a day for 2 minutes. Results will show in a week.

Neat huh? I dont know how these crazy Japanese people find out these things.. but anyway, there. hope everyone has a warmer white christmas.
