1. Eating dark chocolate
A 2017 study found that dark chocolate can significantly lower blood pressure, decrease cortisol by 14%, and increase nitric oxide.
2. Humming while exhaling
Research has shown that humming while exhaling can significantly improve your sinuses. Humming while exhaling increases nitric oxide by 15 times, which can help you relax and lower your blood pressure.
3. Standing on one leg for 30 seconds
A 2014 study in the journal Stroke found that standing on one leg for 30 seconds increases gray matter volume, which includes the hippocampus. This can improve memory and increase cognitive scores by 13%.
4. Sniffing something
A 2013 study found that sniffing rosemary oil can increase cognitive function and memory by 18%. Three other studies found that sniffing lavender oil can significantly lower anxiety, improve mood, increase sleep quality, and decrease daytime sleepiness.
Smelling peppermint oil can increase sustained attention, improve reaction time, and improve respiratory efficiency. It can also decrease tension headaches. Eucalyptus oil has the most potent effect on your respiratory centers.
Smelling frankincense oil decreases neuroinflammation, directly improving memory and lowering anxiety.
5. Dry, warm socks
A 2018 study published in the Journal of Physiological Anthropology found that wearing dry, warm socks to bed can increase sleep by 32 minutes and improve sleep quality.
6. Forest bathing
Walking in the forest for 20 to 30 minutes can boost immunity and provide tremendous stress relief. It increases natural killer cells, which fight cancer and viruses. Forest bathing can elevate mood, reduce blood pressure, and decrease cortisol by 27%.
7. Singing in the shower
Singing loudly in the shower for 5 to 10 minutes can boost immunity by 37%, decrease cortisol by 19%, and increase lung function by 14%.

Thanks for watching! I hope you’ll try some of these unusual health remedies and let me know how they work for you. I’ll see you in the next video.
Good morning be thankful and blessed for waking up to a new day… To all have a safe week ahead….
ok Safety First!
Thank you!
It didn’t hurt, so I stood on one leg and hummed and ate some dark German chocolate while watching this. Sniffing will have to wait. When I live past 100, I’ll come back to this video! Oh, by the way, when I was in uni, I used to sing Michael Jackson’s “Beat It”. Perhaps I need to go back to that.
The world needs more doctors like you!
Making YouTube videos instead of treating people?
@mimetype Thereby helping infinitely more people all over the world.
You are absolutely correct!! 😊
My primary care was also a Neurologist and taught at UC San Diego. I found him in 2013.
He retired this past Spring.😢
@1221-w3c that’s so true! I love that he’s doing this.
@mimetype This way he has way more time to help millions, if not billions around the globe. Hence, If we don’t take full responsibility for our own health n WELLBEING nobody will. Definitely NOT BIG PHARMA for sure. 😅😅😅
PS; i have been using n continue to use his vitamins n minerals. it has helped me a lot. Especially while i was hospitalised in Thailand during my Holidays for the 1st time in my life after over 5 decades of travelling globally. Due to an accident with a severely broken foot. Fault of a Japanese girl obviously 😢 i had refused morfine n all other horrible chemicals and i ordered Dr. Berg vitamins and minerals. Since I was raised eating only organic food, and plants for prevention than cure. Thank God zero medications in 6 decades, still continue until my good bye from this lovely planet Earth. Love n light to all humanity. ❤❤❤
I do 2 hours of walking in the mornings and 24 hour fastings and staying off sugar for 2 weeks and my wait is reducing and my blood pressure is down to 112 so far.
Down from what if I may ask?
Staying off sugar all of the time is optimal!! I’ve been off for 1 year. Off of 3 BP meds and 60 pounds gone. I also do strict keto. No seed oils, no grains, no gluten.
Thank you! I already tried singing in the shower but neighbors started a petition against me!😅 Excellent video!
My neighbors would do the same 😂
😂
I loved this video, Dr. Berg! We need caring doctors like you in this world. Thank God for Dr. Berg!
❤
Yes!
In traditional yoga there is Brahmari pranayama – humming bee breathing exercise- 2. Vrikshasana – tree pose – now being patronized by several researchers world wide (without giving credits ofcourse 😂😂)
100 percent true.Never give credit where it is due, and then after a few years call it self invention
Hi there, that sounds great been a tree. Xox
This humming is a pranayama exercise in Yoga. It’s good for thyroid as well
Specifically it’s called Bramari Pranayam or the humming bee breathing exercise
📝🙏.
If one feels the thyroid vibrating when doing it then I would say you are doing it right!
❤ 🎯 Sugar and carbs are hurting and killing people every other day. I remember having T2 diabetes buying sweets and eating rice, pasta and even sugar free stuff. I started reading the ingredients on everything and learning how to beat diabetes. I rather eat mashed cauliflower and cauliflower rice Before any type of rice. Brown rice and wild rice is still a carbs. Mindset is powerful and I love waking up every day. Keto fasting is the Key 🗝 Also lots of walking and finding something to do. Get 2 moving around the house and yard. God is good .
We are wonderfully made in GOD’S image ~
but if you exercise hard, carbs are actually benefitial. ( for example, millitary personal, building workers)
@jeanpaultongeren125 carbs like salad/veggies, etc. If you have no health problems from eating grains, rice, pasta etc that is great for you but I trust everything Dr Berg teaches about the harms of these foods to the body. I cannot eat a biscuit, pasta, too much bread, rice, etc without ill effects from it. Wasn’t always like this for me of course but my body cannot deal with these foods anymore.
Amen

Thank you Dr. Berg for sharing n caring. I do most of what you have mentioned, apart from the sniffing. However, i live close to Lavander fields, in the south of France. Therefore, i put bouquets of fresh Lavande around the house n spray liquid of it on my bedsheets n pillow case, too. I’m not a big fan of sugar but whenever i feel like it i eat a tiny piece of organic 100% dark cacao. Humming n one foot stand is a thousand year old technique from yoga that does wonders for your health. Your precious time and dedication to helping ppl FOC is highly appreciated Dr. Berg. Thank you n Stay blessed ever. ❤❤❤
Thank you Dr. Berg, I am a healthier person after finding your channel.😊
Dr. Berg seems to know everything about the human body. One of the smartest doctors I’ve come across. Do you agree?
I would agree that the internet is amazing.
No. I looked at two of the short list of articles linked in the Description, and it’s clear that Dr Berg reaches overly broad conclusions from very narrow studies.
But if by “smart” you mean good at profiting from Youtube, then yes.
@@brothermine2292shhh, don’t burst the bubble of these gullible people. Just go to his store and purchase some supplements. 😅
😲 Standing on one leg while brushing your teeth boosts memory, singing in the shower works like vitamin C?
I came for the dark chocolate… now I’m standing on one leg, sniffing oils, wearing socks, and humming like a monk 🎵🧦😂
Anyone else doing all of these at once? 🙋♂🙋♀
Some of these health tricks sound so unusual at first, but I’ve learned not to dismiss things just because they’re different. A while back, I started testing out a few simple “weird” habits, like cold exposure and adding minerals to water, and I honestly felt a difference in my energy and focus. Videos like this remind me how much we underestimate small shifts in daily routines. I’m reading Youth Protocol by Dr. Tessa Voss right now, and it really backs up how these practical, often overlooked steps can support the body without overcomplicating things. Glad I didn’t scroll past this one.
Hear about that one, every recomendation
after using many essential oils for decades now (including peppermint, eucalyptus, rosemary & frankincense) I have experience with them enough to find scientific validation a lovely thing – but it just reinforces my own experience. Peppermint & Rosemary are lovely for ADHD brains !
I am a music therapist and love that you’re talking about singing in the shower. I actually healed a herniated disc in part by using my voice, amongst other things to hack the nervous system to get out of pain.
This is amazing! I have a dear friend who is suffering from a herniated disk and deals with pain every single day now. I want to help him but I don’t know what to do. Could you give a detailed description of what you did to heal your herniated disk, please? Did you sing daily? In or out the shower? And how you long it took you for the healing?
Music Makes Us All Feel better. I love documentary “Alive Inside” that shows impact of appropriate music on those with dementia. Free to watch on YouTube.
If you mix coconut oil cacao and a healthy sweetener and freeze it you have the perfect dark chocolate. You can also add vanilla and mushroom powder too. It tastes great!!
Cocoa b ok?
Just made it today topped it with almonds
@@creatiffyI add hemp hearts to the chocolate too. Its like a nestles crunch bar.
I’m gonna stand on one leg while humming and eating dark chocolate
And this is the reason I am fat, not because I can’t eat chocolate but because I can’t stand on one food🤔😳😱🤣
That’ll be two of us 😂
While Smoking a rosemary joint.
Ur winning bro!!
😂😂😂
Mind. Blown. These tricks are so simple yet so powerful. I’m definitely trying the one-leg stand while brushing my teeth tonight. Who’s with me? Amazing video, thanks Dr. Berg! ❤
I’m in. ♥️
I’ve been doing the one leg stand to help my balance. I can’t hold it very long.
I have already been doing this bc it was convenient for getting in my balancing exercises before bed!
If you block your ears with your fingers while humming it intensifies the effect. Not only does it increase nitric oxide and lower BP but it puts you in a better mood after about 10 min!!
Oh wow so weird but it doesn’t make a huge difference….going to try it like this…thank you!
Thankyou Dr. Berg for Sharing ,caring and your wealth of knowledge .❤
