10 foods can cure 10 diseases in your body, papaya can make your skin smooth

Bad breath, yellowing teeth, motion sickness, burns. . . These minor symptoms and problems in life can be solved through food! Don’t you think it’s amazing? It is indeed the case. Some foods not only provide nutrition and strength, but also have unique "therapeutic functions". As long as you choose the right ones, they can help you solve minor health problems.

1. Yogurt

Uses: Bad breath

Some previous studies have shown that the live bacteria in yogurt can inhibit the growth of bacteria in the mouth that cause bad breath. The "good bacteria" in yogurt can crowd out the bacteria that cause bad breath and create a healthy environment for the mouth.

2. Sugar

Uses: Hiccups

Swallowing a teaspoon of dry white sugar can stop hiccups immediately. Sugar has the effect of modifying neuromuscular movement, that is, it can command the muscles in the diaphragm to contract continuously and prevent hiccups from continuing. But don't overdo it, sugar can make you addicted and eating too much can be harmful to your health.

3. Apple

Uses: Teeth whitening

When chewing crunchy fruits and vegetables, it has the small effect equivalent to brushing your teeth. Their natural cleaning action removes plaque from tooth enamel. In particular, the mild malic acid contained in apples can help dissolve dental plaque.

4. Baking soda

Uses: Urinary tract infection

As soon as symptoms appear, you can drink 1/4 teaspoon of baking soda in 250 ml of water. Drink one cup a day until the doctor gives the result and starts using antibiotics. Baking soda makes the bladder alkaline, reducing the ability of bacteria to reproduce.

5. Papaya

Uses: Makes skin smooth

Papaya is a tropical fruit that contains papain. Dead cells on the surface of the skin can make it look dull, rough, and cracked. The enzymes in papaya can break down dead cells. Use twice a month to make your skin softer, smoother and more radiant.

Directions: Place two tablespoons of washed and peeled papaya in a food processor and add one tablespoon of dry oats. Apply the mixture to clean skin for 10 minutes, then wipe off with a warm washcloth. The enzymes in papaya are gentle enough to be an ideal treatment for people with sensitive skin. However, to be on the safe side, test it behind your ear when using it for the first time.

6. Olives or lemons

Application: Motion sickness (car sickness, seasickness, airplane sickness, etc.)

Motion sickness causes your body to produce too much saliva, which can cause nausea and vomiting. Tannic acid, a compound in olives, can remove excess saliva from the mouth and help eliminate the nausea sensation. Whenever you feel unwell, take two of them immediately. Lemon juice has the same effect.

7. Ice cream

Uses: Burns

The tissue in the roof of your mouth is only a few millimeters thick, so it is very sensitive to hot foods. If you can't wait to put your freshly-baked pizza in your mouth, a scoop of ice cream or frozen yogurt can help soothe your burned mouth. The cool sensation can provide temporary relief.

Taking a sip of an ice drink or ice cube is fine, but make sure you spit out the ice before you feel any pain.

8. Vodka

Uses: Athlete's foot

If your feet don't smell good, you can wrap them in a towel soaked in vodka to get rid of the bad smell. It's the same idea as rubbing alcohol on your feet (which works especially well if you drink Grey Goose vodka).

Vodka contains alcohol, which has antiseptic and drying properties, so it kills odor-causing fungi and bacteria and removes the moist environment that these organisms need to survive.

9. Lemon balm tea

Uses: Cold sores

Cold sores are caused by a herpes virus (different from the type that's transmitted sexually), and lemon balm is the herbal remedy of choice for treating them. Its antiviral properties can help heal already exposed herpes.

Method: You can make lemon balm tea by mixing 2 to 4 teaspoons of lemon balm with one cup of water. After it cools down, use a cotton ball to apply it to the cold sore affected area several times a day.

10. Mint or cinnamon gum

Purpose: Relieve the pressure of congestion at work

Mint can reduce drivers' fatigue and anxiety by 20%. Both peppermint and cinnamon reduced frustration by 25%, increased alertness by 30%, and made the journey seem 30% shorter.

Don't like chewing gum or candy bars? Put a mint or cinnamon aroma diffuser in your car.
