Everyone has heard of some odd things that the body can do. Some of them are even weirder than others.

Migraine sufferers may have an ability to sense extreme weather before the weatherman.

The weather changes can cause chemical imbalances in the brain. One of these chemicals is serotonin, which helps in sleep patterns. The pain in the head could also be a way to prompt the person to seek shelter during harsh weather patterns.

Do not ignore the growling of your stomach.

Thought you would like it but found it to be horrible for one reason or another? That’s because your taste buds are much more sensitive to room temperature food than too hot food. The aroma of the food can also change when it’s piping hot – such as making the food you hate to smell like something you love or vice versa. Hot coffee may smell less bitter and, therefore, taste less bitter than room temperature coffee.
