backs picking your nose and eating it (Deutsch unten)
Picking your nose and eating it is one of the best ways
to stay healthy,
according to a top Austrian doctor.
Innsbruck-based lung specialist Prof Dr Friedrich
Bischinger said people who
pick their noses with their fingers were healthy, happier and probably better
in tune
with their bodies.
He says society should adopt a new approach to nose-picking and encourage
children to take
it up.
Dr Bischinger said: \"With the finger you can get to places you just can\'t
reach with a
handkerchief, keeping your nose far cleaner.
\"And eating the dry remains of what you pull out is a great way of
strengthening the body\'s immune system.
\"Medically it makes great sense and is a perfectly natural thing
to do. In
terms of the immune system the nose is a filter in which a great deal of
bacteria are collected, and
when this mixture arrives in the intestines it works just
like a medicine.
\"Modern medicine is constantly
trying to do the same thing through far more
complicated methods, people who pick their nose and eat it get a
natural boost
to their immune system for free.\"
He pointed out that children happily pick their noses, yet by
the time they
have become adults they have stopped under pressure from a society that has
branded it disgusting
and anti social.
He said: \"I would recommend a new approach where children are encouraged to
pick their nose.
It is a completely natural response and medically a good idea
as well.\"
And he pointed out that if anyone was
really worried about what their
neighbor was thinking, they could still enjoy picking their nose in private if
they
still wanted to get the benefits it offered.
