Short: Water Creation via Solar Wind
We've been told that water arrived on earth through comets, and asteroids, but a recent study proved that the solar wind is constantly interacting with the earth's atmosphere to create water. This process is small, but over millions and millions of years...it adds up. Here's how it would work, hydrogen ions (H+) in the solar wind would break apart ozone (O3) in our atmosphere and recombine into H2O misting the earth with water:
H+ + O3 → OH + O2
Short: Miswak
Have you ever wondered how people cleaned their teeth without toothbrushes...or even toothpaste? Meet miswak, from the salvadora persica tree. It's been used for thousands of years as a natural toothbrush with its included toothpaste. The sap of the miswak root is known to be a potent antibacterial, anti-fungal, anti-viral, anti-cariogenic (anti-cavity), and anti-plaque as well as not requiring any water to use. My favorite part of using this plant is that the root actually leaves your teeth smoother than most toothbrushes currently available avoiding the scarring that happens of your tooth enamel which creates a home for bacteria to live.
A World Health Organization (WHO) study concluded, "that the periodontal status of miswak users in this Sudanese population is better than that of toothbrush users".
Short: Avoid Jet Lag
From all my time traveling, I've learned one major hack. If you fast the day of travel and eat once you land (at an appropriate meal time) you will not experience jet lag. That, unfortunately, means no airplane orange juice, nuts, biscuits, alcohol, or even sugar in your coffee. It seems like the hardest thing, but apart from preventing jet lag, it'll also keep you from having to use those questionable bathrooms.
