For some reason, not chewing your food well enough can lead to hiccups. The theory behind it is that air gets trapped between pieces of the food, gets swallowed, and results in hiccups. Eating slowly means you'll chew more, eliminating this risk.  Set your fork down between bites to help yourself slow down. Count the number of times you chew so you eat slowly. For instance, you might chew 20 times. Big meals may trigger hiccups, especially in children. Control your portion sizes to help prevent hiccups. Additionally, space out your meals so you don’t get too full. For instance, you might eat 3-5 small meals every 2-3 hours. The gas in these types of drinks can cause hiccuping, especially if you drink them quickly. If hiccups are a common problem for you, cutting out fizzy and carbonated drinks may help. If a drink has bubbles in it, don’t drink it. When you chew gum, it’s normal to swallow a little gas with each chew. Unfortunately, this can trigger hiccups in some people. If you have hiccups often, it’s best to skip the gum. Use mints or suck on hard candies instead. and spicy foods. Both alcohol and spicy foods can be a hiccup trigger, so it might be worth it to avoid them. This might help you stop your chronic hiccups. You might keep a food diary to figure out if you typically have hiccups after you have alcohol or spicy foods. If you don’t, then you might not worry about this advice.

If you do have a partial ACL tear, your doctor will most likely give you a brace or cast to wear while your ACL recovers. Luckily, most partial ACL tears do not require surgery. You will, however, have to protect your knee from further injury. The best way to do this is to wear a brace or cast that will keep your knee stabilized while it heals. Your doctor might give you crutches to use along with your brace. Crutches are used to keep you from putting pressure or too much weight on your knee while it heals. While your knee is healing, it will need to rest as much as possible. Try to keep weight off of it at all times. You should sit with your knee elevated so that it can begin to repair itself. When you sit down, prop your knee up so that it is raised above your hip. If you are lying down, prop your knee and leg up so that it is above your heart and chest. To control the swelling and pain caused by your partially torn ACL, you will need to ice your knee every day. Write a bag of ice or an ice pack in a towel to keep the ice from directly touching your skin, as this could cause a burn. Keep the ice on your knee for 15 to 20 minutes for the best results. Any amount of time shorter than 15 minutes will not do much to control swelling or pain. Keeping the ice on your knee for longer than 20 minutes may result in the ice burning your skin. If your ACL is fully torn, or if your tear falls between a partial and full tear, you may need surgery for the knee to be fully repaired. If this is the case, you will have to have a graft done to replace the torn ligament. The most common graft used is the tendon of the kneecap or hamstring. However, acquiring tendons from donor knee is also an option. Talk to your doctor about the best option for your specific case. Talk to your doctor about going to physical therapy. After you have let your knee heal, you will have to begin rehabilitating your knee so that the injury does not occur again. Go to a physical therapist who can help you with increasing your range of motion, strength training, and stability exercises.

In a small dish, mix together 1 tablespoon of honey and ½ tablespoon of sweet almond oil. Apply the mask to your face, avoiding the eye area. Wait 30 to 40 minutes, then rinse it off with warm water.  Almond oil absorbs easily into your skin. Because it is light, it won't clog your pores and lead to acne. If you can't get almond oil, however, you can use another type of oil. For a more hydrating mask, use 2 tablespoons of plain, whole fat yogurt instead of almond oil. Leave the mask on for 15 to 20 minutes.  For a more moisturizing mask, switch out the almond oil for 1/2 of a ripe, mashed avocado. Leave it on for 15 to 20 minutes. Mix together 1 teaspoon of honey, 1 teaspoon of mashed avocado, and 1 teaspoon of plain, whole fat yogurt. Apply the mask over your face, wait 20 to 30 minutes, then wash it off with warm water. Because of how gentle this mask is, you can use it a few times per week. Mix 2 tablespoons of honey with 2 tablespoons of finely-ground almonds and 1/4 of a mashed avocado. Massage the mask over your face, wait 15 to 20 minutes, then rinse it off with warm water. For even more exfoliation, gently massage the mask into your face using small, circular motions as you rinse it off. Place 1 tablespoon of honey into a bowl. Stir in 2 to 3 drops of pure lemon essential oil. Spread the mask over your face, wait 15 to 20 minutes, then remove it with a damp, warm, washcloth.  Avoid this mask if you have sensitive skin. Make sure that you use pure essential oil, not fragrance oil meant for diffusers or soap-making. If you can't find any, try 1 teaspoon of lemon juice instead. Lemon can make your skin photosensitive. Avoid sunlight for 24 hours after using the mask, or apply sunscreen with at least 30 SPF.
