Out of all the things we take for granted, breathing is pretty important. How many times does one breathe in over the course of one day? Apparently a lot. The average adult takes between 12-20 breaths per minute. I never thought about this before because I did it effortlessly. However now, due to this awful cold, I can barely breathe at all. I need a quick fix. Isn't there some sort of voodoo I can do right here at my desk that will allow me to breathe again?
According to my friend Google, I can:
- Pour an entire glass of water down my nose and then blow my nose.
- Rub butter on the bridge of my nose.
- Stick my head into the freezer and breathe.
- Lay down. Put a penny on my nose. Imagine the penny rotating toward one side of my nose. When I imagine it has moved, sit up really quickly and let the penny fall off my nose. Breathe in.
- Roll up tissues and stick them into my nose until they are really far in. Leave them in as long as possible without being embarrassed.
I don't know about you, but those last two are batshit crazy. I'll probably just go with the trusty NyQuil.
