Autism tip: even if it doesn’t make you feel tired try melatonin supplements, autistic bodies produce less melatonin which has a negative impact on sleep and resultantly health.

Autistic people have poor introception (ability to sense our body’s signals) so even if you don’t feel tired from melatonin it is still managing your hormone levels.

Melatonin use has been linked to a reduced likelihood of Alzheimer’s and dementia.

Throat slayer: the sore throat killer

A home remedy potion that my old art teacher passed onto me:

Make one cup of (perferably black) tea, hot!

Add one Emergen-C packet and let it fizzle into the drink (orange flavor if you don’t hate yourself)

Add one tablespoon of lemon juice!

Add one tablespoon of white vinegar!

Mix in a heaping spoonful of honey until its a cloudy orangeish brown death mix

Add ice if you need a more drinkable temp, but make sure its still hot/warm

Slam that motherfuker. If you try to taste it you wont finish it. Hell you might even send it back into the cup of hell it came from

Enjoy the death of your sore throat

Spread this horrible concotion to those who need it because of colds, flu, allergies, fear of doctors, or because they want to try their hand at kitchen magic. Consume Throat Slayer at your own leisure/risk and as frequently as you deem necessary

(Tea, the vessel for this wackass drink. Emergen-C an immune booster. Lemon, also an immune booster, acid helps murder bacteria. Vinegar, bacteria murder. Honey, natural soother, makes the flavor more tolerable)

Ginger is actually insane

i'm being serious. this single food has changed my life more than anything else.

here's what ginger does: it literally speeds up your digestion. like your stomach moves food through faster and more efficiently. this isn't me making it up, there's actual research on this.

but like here's the thing that CONVINCED me the bloating just... stopped. like within days. i wasn't feeling that uncomfortable, overstuffed feeling after meals anymore.

how i use it:

brew fresh ginger as a tea after meals (tastes way better than it sounds)

grate it into literally everything (stir fries, smoothies, curry)

about 1-2 teaspoons a day

pro tip: don't use powdered ginger. fresh ginger is where it's at. powdered is fine in a pinch but fresh hits different.

real talk though i showed my mom how to do this and her bloating basically disappeared in two weeks. she's honestly obsessed now.

if you only try one food from this list, try ginger. just try it.

Bro, idk if this is like a health hack, or just my body sending very clear messages (for once), but everytime I'm sick, I crave orange juice. Sometimes, I crave it before I even get sick, so it's like an early warning system.

But I swear, 2 cups of orange juice, and that cold/flu/etc is GONE.

Vitamin C for the win lol
