Do you yawn suddenly? Yawning is a natural thing that can happen at any time. You often do not realize this activity because it is an activity involuntary and regulated directly by the nerve center.

How can you prevent frequent yawning in front of a crowd?
1. Take a deep breath
Take a breath in through your nose and out through your mouth. Some researchers claim that yawning is caused by lack of oxygen. Therefore, taking a deep breath gives your body a chance to get a greater amount of oxygen.
2. Take the time to drink cold drinks
As has been explained that often yawning or yawning suddenly is the body's response to cool the brain. So, if you think you're going to yawn, drink a cool drink immediately. But if you are in a room or in conditions where you don't drink, then holding a cold water bottle can also prevent you from yawning.
3. Eat cold snacks
The concept is almost the same as drinking cold drinks. Cold foods can prevent you from yawning frequently. Try chilling some foods like fruit or yogurt, then consuming them when you feel like yawning.
4. Using a cold compress
If cold drinks and food do not prevent you from yawning frequently, then try to apply a cold compress to your head and see if your yawning habit stops or not.
From some of the tips mentioned, what you can do when in public is to take a deep breath and then exhale it through your mouth and hold a cold water bottle. But if you notice that you yawn a lot, it means you have to change your lifestyle so you don't yawn constantly, let alone yawn at inappropriate times.
Changing your lifestyle can prevent you from yawning frequently at unwanted times
First, practice breathing. This is important so that the body can get maximum oxygen. Yawning occurs because the body doesn't get enough oxygen. All you have to do is:
- Find a comfortable position to practice in, then place one hand on your chest and the other on your stomach.
- Then take a deep breath. When you inhale, you need to make sure that the hand on the abdomen will automatically move upward with the abdominal muscles, while the hand on the chest is fixed and motionless.
- Repeat this five to ten times and do it every day.
Second, sleep on a regular schedule. Get in the habit of getting 7-8 hours of sleep per night, then schedule when you should go to bed and wake up each day. This will allow the body to have its own schedule.
Third, exercise regularly. Sedentary lifestyle - no activity at all - actually increases fatigue in the body. get used to doing exercise 30 minutes a day.
Fourth, eat healthy food. Food affects the amount of energy in the body. Too little or too much eating will make the body lack energy and then become tired. This of course will make you yawn a lot.
