389. How To Remember Your Vacations

Planning an epic vacation? Pick up a new perfume with you before you leave.

Scent is one of the strongest senses for memory recalls we have. So when you get back home, that new scent will always take you back to your amazing trip.

Why It Works: Our sense of smell is closely linked to the brain's memory centers. When you smell a particular scent, it can trigger vivid memories and emotions associated with that scent.

This is because the olfactory bulb, responsible for processing smells, has direct connections to the amygdala and hippocampus, the regions of the brain involved in emotion and memory.

390. Fight Anxiety With Asparagus

Feeling a bit anxious? You might be low on folate, a nutrient that plays a crucial role in mental health.

A quick and tasty way to boost your folate levels is by eating asparagus, and just one cup provides two-thirds of your daily recommended value!

You can steam it, roast it, or even add it to your salads. Not only will you be nourishing your body, but you'll also be helping your mind feel more at ease.

391. An Effortless Microwave Clean

Got a messy microwave? Don't stress about scrubbing! Here's a simple solution:

Mix 2 cups of water, 1 cup of lemon juice, and 1 tablespoon of dish soap in a microwave-safe bowl.

Heat it in the microwave for 5 minutes. The steam from this mixture will loosen all that hard, stuck-on gunk.

After heating, carefully remove the bowl (it will be hot!) and simply wipe down the inside of your microwave with a sponge or cloth.
