I talked about other methods for How to Stop Hiccups (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/how-to-stop-hiccups) in my last video and touched on Heart Rate Variability before.
Slowing our pulse down in general may also have beneficial effects. See Finger on the Pulse of Longevity (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/finger-pulse-longevity/) and Slow Your Beating Heart: Beans vs. Exercise (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/slow-beating-heart-beans-vs-exercise/).
