It’s probably safe to say many of us have had a moment of panic when we think we might be choking on food.
Usually, it turns out OK and we can either cough it up or swallow it on our own, but that’s not always the case.
If
you’re in public or eating with other people, you’d hope someone either
knows how to help or can call 911 if you really are choking.
For people who eat many of their meals alone, however, the danger of choking can be much greater. “I
have noted over those years that there is really no effective means for
someone to rescue themselves should they be choking and nobody is there
to help them,” he says. He
recommends a basic push-up motion to create suction to hopefully
dislodge the object that is blocking your throat. First,
get on your knees in the push-up position, then let go of your arms,
essentially letting your stomach and chest smack on the ground.
The air that moves out from this technique should be enough to remove whatever is stuck in your airway.
He warns this won’t work while pregnant and says while nothing is 100
percent effective, “This is certainly a lot better than what we’ve been
taught so far.” Interesting
to note, the maneuver actually came from his boxing days and was
something his coach taught him to tighten up his abdominal muscles, but
he realized there was a better use for it and applied it to his years as
a paramedic.
We certainly hope you’ll never need to know this, but there is no such thing as being too prepared. As always, be sure to use caution if using this or any medical technique.

Why some autistic kids are painfully sensitive to noise and bright lights
Children with autism see simple movement twice as quickly as other kids of their age, and this hypersensitivity to motion may provide clues to the cause of the developmental disorder, a new study has claimed.
According to one of the lead authors on the study and an assistant professor of brain and cognitive sciences , such heightened sensory perception in autism may help explain why some people with the disorder are painfully sensitive to noise and bright lights. He
said that it also may be linked to some of the complex social and behavioural deficits associated with autism.
He asserted that people think of autism as a social disorder, as kids with this condition often struggle with social interactions, but what we sometimes neglect is that almost everything we know about the world comes from our senses.
He said that abnormalities in how a person sees or hears could have a profound effect on social communication.
In the study, 20 kids with autism and 26 typically developing children, ages 8 to 17, looked at brief video clips of moving black and white bars and simply indicated which direction the bars were heading, right or left.
Each time a kid made the correct direction choice, the next video clip became slightly shorter and thus a little more difficult.
But when they made a mistake, the next video became a bit longer and thus easier to see, in this way, the researchers were able to measure how quickly children with autism can perceive motion.
The researchers found that when the bars in the image were just barely visible, both groups of children performed identically.
When the contrast or darkness of the bars was increased all participants in the study got better at perceiving the direction of movement.
“But kids with autism, got much, much better—performing twice as well as their peers,” .
In fact, the worst performing participant with autism was roughly equal to the average of the participants without autism.
A researcher said that this dramatically enhanced ability to perceive motion is a hint that the brains of individuals with autism keep responding more and more as intensity increases.
She said that although this could be considered advantageous, in most circumstances if the neural response doesn't stop at the right level it could lead to sensory overload.
YESTERDAY, WHEN I HAD A BAD STOMACH AND I WAS HOLDING MY STOMACH DUE TO SEVERE PAIN, MY MAID TOLD ME A SIMPLE REMEDY FOR IT.
