- there are many thingsthat we do on a daily basis that we've been doing our entire lives, like sleeping, brushingour teeth and even poopin'. but what if i told youthat you've probably been doing those thingswrong this entire time? (crashing)- [boy] whoa! - many of the things that we do daily were taught to us at a young age, but as it turns out many of those things
that we all seem to do the same way are actually not the rightway to do them at all. prepare to have your mind blown because here are 10 everyday things you've been doing wrong.(buzzing) number one is holding a drink. okay, the first one applies to any drink that comes in either a glass or a bottle. this whole time you've probablybeen holding your drink,
like a beer, for example, by its body, which makes sense, right? it's the most comfortable and that's how you've seenall of your friends do it. but surprisingly, that's not the right way to hold a drink. your hands conduct heat, therefore your hands affectthe temperature of the beer, warming it much quicker thanif you were to hold the bottle
by the neck, which is whatyou're actually supposed to do. a similar rule exists forholding a glass of wine. it's best to hold the glass by the stem, or flute, as it's officially called, especially if you happen to be drinking sparkling wine or white wine. don't cup the bottom of a wine glass or squeeze the sides of a beer bottle, which most of us do instinctively.
warming wine or beeractually changes the flavor, so start drinking properly, people. number two is peeling a banana. all right, monkeys, let'slearn how to eat properly. it's surprising that morepeople don't know this considering how many bananasare eaten every year, but if you're like most people, you likely open yourbananas from the stem. now while sometimes itmight go totally smoothly,
more often than not youprobably struggle with it or end up mushing it upthe top and bruising it. but if you've ever watcheda monkey open a banana, they don't carefully pull on the top stem. no, in fact, they actually turn the banana upside down and open it. the trick is to actually openbananas from the opposite end than your instincts tell you. to do this right is easy.
you just pinch thebottom end of the banana where the hard bit is, make a quarter-turn and pull back to pull the skin away. it's much easier. this will give you amuch more even peeling that will not only be easier to do, but will also make anyonewatching say, "wow, "that person really knowstheir banana stuff." and isn't that the respectyou've always really wanted?
banana man! (mimics monkey) number three is brushing your teeth. everybody always commentson my damn teeth, about why are they so white? but you might be surprised to learn that up until this video, iwas brushing my teeth wrong just like you probably are. now, of course, brushingyour teeth seems wicked easy, but there is in fact aproper way of doing it
that many people are unaware of. one thing you might not realize is that you're probably usingway too much toothpaste. it only takes a small dabto get your chompers clean, like about the size of a pea. secondly, and most commonly,you're probably brushing way too hard. you may think the harder that your brush the more stuff you get off your teeth,
but you're actuallywearing away tooth enamel and that's not good, so brush softer. also for a similar reason,never rush brushing. 30 seconds per quadrant orabout two minutes is ideal. finally, despite what youmay have learned growing up, brushing your teeth immediately before or after a meal will actuallydo more bad than good. many foods weaken our enamel, and brushing right after canactually damage your teeth.
and once you lose yourenamel, baby, that's it, they just start fallin'out and bad things happen. number four is cooling a bottled drink. on a hot day, when there'snothing cold to drink, most people just throw somebottles of beer or soda in the freezer and wait, and wait, and wait. but this is actually a huge waste of time that you don't have to do.
yes, there's a better wayto get it cooler faster, and believe it or not,it involves paper towels. that's right, just wet some paper towels and wrap them around thebottle that you're cooling before popping it in the freezer. doing this will usually cool your drink in less than 15 minutes. compare that to half anhour or more without them. now, if there's no freezeror paper towels around,
but you do happen to havesome ice in a cooler, for example like at the beach or camping, just add some salt to it. but wait, matt, doesn't salt melt ice? well, yes, but saltalso helps absorb heat, specifically from the submerged bottle that you've placed in it. there, no more warm coca-colas for you. number five is wearing ear buds.
although the world seemsto be going wireless, there are still many peoplewho prefer wired earbuds, but guess what? chances are you've beenwearing them incorrectly the whole time. you may have bought a pair only to realize that they don't fit your ears properly, so maybe you stuff them deep in there to keep them in place,or if you're like me,
they just constantly fall out. well, i'm guessing youwear them the same way that most people do,straight up into your ears. but actually that isn't right. the best way to keep earbuds in your ear is to loop them from behind your hear and down, so that part ofthe cord runs over your ear. it may seem odd at first considering that this is your first time,
but it will stop thecords from being pulled out of your ear when they sway too much or get snagged on something. it might feel odd, but trust me, the joy that you'll feelfrom being able to run or go about your daily lifewithout them falling out is so worth it. number six is microwaving. we've all used the microwaveprobably more than once
to heat up yesterday's dinner leftovers, but as you guessed, there's a good chance that you've been doingit wrong this whole time. though it sometimes seems like microwaves unevenly heat up food inside them, they're actually designedto cook food evenly. the thing is, they can't properly do that if you leave food in a huge pile in the middle of the plate.
instead, try spreading foodaround the rim of the plate in the shape of a doughnut. i know this sounds weird, but it will help heat everything evenly,letting the microwaves pass through all of the food. it's a good idea to put leftovers in for one-minute intervals,stirring in-between to get a more even exposure. in addition, whenmicrowaving very dry foods,
try putting a cup of water in with it. since microwaves target water and dry foods obviously have very little, it will make the food more moist. finally, if you want to cook faster and put more than bowl in the microwave, put one of them on the side, and the other on a mug next to it. two for one heating.
number seven is cooking spaghetti. hey, mama no teach a you right. you've probably madethis easy-to-cook dish more times than you can count, but i wonder how many times you actually made spaghetti properly. now i'm not here to mess with your mama'sfamily recipe, baby, that would just get me a whuppin'.
instead, i'm going totell you about some tricks that can make you followthat recipe easier. first of all, it's best to cook pasta in a large pot. too many people wonder whythey got a ball of noodles instead of a nice plate of them. the size of the pot is why. see, spaghetti needs space to move while it expands and softens.
next, if you've ever had a disaster with a boiling-over pot,you need to fear no longer. here's a quick fix. lay a wooden spoonacross the top of the pot to stop any bubbles from escaping. finally, have you ever wondered what that hole in the handleof your sauce pan is for? well, it's actuallymeant to hold your spoon so that it doesn't makea mess on the counter.
enjoy your noodles and lessmessy kitchen, friends. number eight is sleeping. do you ever wake up and still feel tired, even though you know that yougot a whole night's sleep? well, if you're one of those people that always gets tired,the problem's likely not the amount of hours that you get, but how you sleep that's wrong. first off, the best positionto sleep is on your back,
with one pillow under your knees or, if that's uncomfortable for you, on your side with apillow between your legs so that your spine can stay aligned. secondly, keeping a specific bedtime will help your body learn whento shut down for the night and when to wake back up. now if you're between 18 to 64 years old, it's healthy to get aroundseven to nine hours of sleep.
but believe it or not,the younger that you are, the more that you'll need. also, try to keep as littlelight in the room as possible, and although it's tempting,don't watch tv before bed and don't go on your phone before bed, and certainly don't goon your phone in bed. the blue light that'semitted from these devices will actually mess up your sleep patterns. if anything, try to expose yourself
to warm, dim light before bed. it'll help you have sweet dreams. number nine is tying knots. how many times have youtried to untie something? some string, the handle of a garbage bag, or anything else that knots, only to end up making the knot even more tight and unmanageable. well, lucky for you,there's an easier way.
instead of pinching at the actual bond, frustrating yourself until your loved ones think you're a crazy person, take the end of the string or tie and twist it as much as you possibly can. then simply push the twistedpart towards the knot, keeping the end as straightas humanly possible. additionally, you canuse a book or large spoon to press the knot as flat as you can,
forcing the knot to loosen slightly before employing thetwist-and-push method. if all else fails, a corkscrewcan actually be a great tool for untwisting tough knots,for example in shoelaces. and make sure that whileyou're doing any of these that you've taken as much weight off the tied part as possible. if it's a bag of garbage, for instance, lift the bag up off the floor
and take pressure off the knot. all of this will makeknots way more manageable, though it may take you a few tries to get the hang of it. and number 10 is pooping. whew, you may want tosit down for this one, because it's a big one. you're pooping wrong. yep.
if you're like most people, you sit perfectly on thering of the toilet seat to do your business. but that position is not ideal. our bodies are actuallydesigned to go number two easier while squatting. if you think about it,it actually makes sense. before the invention of the toilet, that's how people went,essentially hugging their knees
the way that you would ifyou had to go in the forest, kind of like bears. believe it or not, placingyour feet on a stool with your knees higher while going will position your colon properly. not only will this more natural stance make the movement faster and easier, but it will help preventcolon disease and hemorrhoids. so stop straining your pop-a-squats
and let gravity do thework for you instead. so those were 10 everyday things you've probably been doing wrong. but as always, i'm sure that this was not and exhaustive list. so today's question is, are there any othercommon, every day things that most of us do thatwe might be doing wrong? leave your response below
because i'll be reading through them and i'm going to pin thebest comment to the top. thank you guys for coming by today. if you enjoyed this, make surethat you hit that like button and remember to come back tomorrow at 3 p.m. eastern standard time, because i'll have abrand new video for you. i'll see you soon. happy poopin'.
