To learn more about what inspired this fascinating thread to start in the first place, we reached out to Alex Clark, the Redditor who posed the question, "What's the best human body cheat code you know?" And he was kind enough to have a chat with us.

"I started this conversation after following AskReddit for a short while," Alex told Bored Panda. "I wanted to test different ways of sparking a conversation and luckily for me, there were others who were keen to answer my question!"

Make a habit of always doing some exercise while you're at something casual. Sorry about my english, but to make an example: You go in through a specific door or hallway, and then you just start doing random jumper jacks in a specific amount. After some time, your brain will turn that into a habit, so that it becomes routine, and it'll keep you exercised.

“If You Have A Leg Cramp, Pull Back Your Big Toe”: 40 Human Body Cheat Codes That You Might Not Have Known You Needed If you wake up with your arm asleep because you were laying on it, the fastest way to make it "wake up" is to stick your arm straight up in the air and let the blood drain back down. Then lay your arm flat and allow blood flow to resume normally.

For people that get stuffy noses- pick a nostril you want to have clear. I tend to prefer my right nostril but it works both ways. Pick the side you want clear and lay on your side so that nostril is on top. Prop your head up on your hand so your head is resting at around a 45 degree angle relative to the surface you are laying on. This should clear the nostril on top pretty quickly. If not, try tilting your head at different angles until it does. This doesn't always work, but for me it usually does.

There are two conflicting facts and one thing that most people don't talk about directly that lead to unsuccessful diets:

1) As many people say, calories in < calories out will make you lose weight, however:

2) Most people don't feel "full" (aka: lose the food-craving of hunger) because they've eaten enough calories, but because they've eaten enough volume to fill their stomachs (there's a bit more to it, but this is basically true).

Some really simple things help to fix this:

1) Eat beans and lentils as a main portion of your diet. They are really filling, really high-protein, and have other good things in them. They are also relatively low-calorie; I've eaten so many beans over a week, and still lost weight.

2) Eat slowly and talk during your meal, as in, between bites of food; it takes some time for food to hit your stomach, and everyone knows that feeling of "I shouldn't have had that much" from time to time. Give your stomach some time to send the "I'm not hungry anymore, please stop sending in food, kthx" signal to the brain.

3) Forget everything you've ever been told about "clearing your plate". No matter what you do, the extra half a meal on your plate is never going to be able to get to the starving kids around the world. Donate to some charities if that's a thing that you actually want to help solve, but shoving down food that you aren't hungry for is just going to contribute to weight gain. If there's enough left for another potential meal when you're hungry, just wrap it up and save it for leftovers. If there isn't, just trash it.

4) If you're over 30, try eating foods you didn't like again. I have a newfound love for raw spinach since I've turned 30, when I hated it as a teen and even into my 20s. Your taste buds change as you age, and you might enjoy healthy foods more than you think.

5) Cut out sodas. This gets said a lot, but it's true. If your lunch is a turkey club sandwich, a 20 oz bottle of soda is adding 33-50% more calories to that meal. They are a relative *ton* of calories that don't make you feel more full or quench your thirst at all.

I used to take about 3 Ibuprophen when having a panic attack that lasted more than a couple minutes (they were seriously severe, sometimes lasting hours, and often wound me up in the ER). Ibuprophen relaxes your muscles within about 15 minutes, and once your muscles start to relax, your mind can kind of start to calm down a bit, and you can then gain control. Just be careful to not take more than 4 at the most, or you can cause problems with your liver.

Also, a good way to stop being dizzy, or to cure a mild headache-- shut your eyes very tightly, then open them really wide while looking down to your left. Don't move your whole head, JUST your eyes. Shut them again very tightly, then open again very wide, while looking down to your right. Repeat this again, while looking up to your left. Then again, looking up to your right. Then do this again, while looking up like you're trying to see your eyebrows. Again, it's important to keep your head still, and only do this while moving just your eyes. Helps me almost every time.

Nurse here. There are so many incorrect things in this post. First, ibuprofen helps with inflammation. It is not a muscle relaxer. Second, you can safely take 4 tabs (to equal 800mg). You should always eat something when taking ibuprofen. Taking it on an empty stomach can lead to ulcers and GI bleeds. Third, ibuprofen affects your kidneys, not your liver. That’s Tylenol. 🙄

I guess Adelaide Ross must’ve been up against a deadline and had to compile SOMETHING for this week’s check - even if that something seems like a big pile of bovine-produced garden compost.

Sleeping hack #2: It sounds too basic and boring, but if it's an option, start going to sleep at the same time every night. Do it as much as you can and do it for a while, like maybe a month or two (it's okay to have a late night here and there if necessary, but if it isn't, just go to sleep), and be sure it's the same time every night. Set an alarm if it helps. After your body is used to it, you will feel sleepy at that time, like clockwork, your sleep quality will improve dramatically, and you will wake up refreshed. Best sleep of my life!

if you need to pop your tailbone for whatever reason, lay on your bed or a couch on your side, and then bring your knees in. After that, try and move one leg up while moving the other down. It's hard to explain without a diagram but it's really simple once you figure it out.

Also, for colouring large areas/shading with a normal wooden pencil, use the side of the lead and not just the very tip. This does not work for mechanical pencils as far as I know.

This should come with a disclaimer that it is people's opinions or behaviors that work for them. I think pros would disagree with some of these. Like the guy says if you ride a bike every day then stop he got the gitters from not going. Your body does get used to exercise. If it is something that requires energy it gets used to needing energy at that time of day for that reason. I used to run several miles a day. When I stopped I would have excess energy at the time I usually ran. That is my opinion and something that happened to me personally. However a professional might point out one of the signs of diabetes is gitters when you are waking up in the morning or other times during the day. Has to do with your blood sugar levels.

I suffer from allergies when things are blooming. Many years ago a doctor told me to have a spoonful of local honey every day (gotta be from your area - add to coffee, tea, toast or just eat it) and you will have less sinus problems. There is no cure, but this will help. (If you live in Arkansas, honey from New Jersey will not help. Labels will tell you where it comes from.)

Here's an important thing to remember about all living beings: our health is dependant on environmental factors, of course, but our personal physiology is not the same as anybody else's. Allergies prove that. Different results for different people on the same diets prove that. Some of us are blessed with incredibly efficient bodies. A lot of us are not. I take every one of these with a grain of salt.

Just bc you can lift something, doesn't mean you should. I have two new shoulders that proves this to be a fact.

If you are tired in a public place (all-day seminar, long lecture, etc), let yourself drowse for 5 min or so as you sit there. This is often enough to reset your biological clock for the rest of the day (class, lecture, seminar, etc).

For a tickle in the back of your throat (the dreaded 'opera cough'), blow your nose several times very hard.

Hyperthyroidism has the weirdest symptoms. Hot all the time, really irritable, hair grows fast, just stuff you can't put together. Mine started with foot cramps. No one ever thinks thyroid and it is the motherboard of your body and mind! When people are sent to a hospital for being "crazy" (Baker Act in FL) one of the first things they do is check your thyroid. Also, fast heartbeats. I could lay on the couch and feel my heart beating fast. Went to the dr. and was better in 3 weeks. So if you feel like yelling at people for no reason - get it checked

Sleeping hack #1: The average full sleep cycle lasts about 1.5 hour. If you wake up during deep sleep you will probably end up being groggy and tired and it will take longer to wake up. If you wake up between sleep cycles, when sleeping is lighter, you'll wake up much more easily and feeling more refreshed and rested. Adjust your alarm clock every night based on what time you go to sleep and taking sleep cycles into account. E.g. it's much better to sleep 4.5 hours (3 x 1.5 hour) than 5, and even though it's less sleep, you'll wake up much more easily. I've noticed that without an alarm clock I usually sleep 6 or 7.5 hours. Since I started counting how many sleep cycles (and not hours) I can sleep before having to wake up to set my alarm, waking up is a breeze, it has worked wonders!
