OUTSMART A BRAIN FREEZE

The harrowing near-death experiences result from a sudden temperature drop in the back roof of your mouth, where your soft and hard palates meet. I have been there friends, specially on hot days, and being thirsty at the moment I take that cold and delicious drink, then Bum, the brain freeze attacks, which makes me feel like my head will simply explode. This irritates a cluster of nerves called the sphenopalatine ganglion, provoking a painful rush of blood to your brain. Should a brain freeze attack, run to the nearest faucet, or grab a cup that is sitting out, and warm the ganglion by sipping tepid water. To prevent a freeze, slow down, if you are eating or drinking too quickly, your mouth doesn't have enough time to warm up, aggravating the nerve cluster and putting on the hurt.
