Vagal maneuvers are used to try to slow an episode of fast heart rate. These simple maneuvers stimulate the vagus nerve, sometimes resulting in slowed conduction of electrical impulses through the atrioventricular (AV) node of the heart. Be sure to talk to your doctor before trying these. Vagal maneuvers that you can try to slow your fast heart rate include: Gagging. Holding your breath and bearing down (Valsalva maneuver). Immersing your face in ice-cold water (diving reflex).
Some examples of renewable energy sources are solar energy, wind energy, hydropower, geothermal energy, and biomass energy. These types of energy sources are different from fossil fuels, such as coal, oil, and natural gas.
Renewable energy allows you to tap into natural resources that are replenished as part of the normal life cycle. Cut a tree down to burn for heat, and that tree is gone forever. Tap into the wind with a turbine to generate electricity, and the wind continues to blow. The Union of Concerned Scientists suggests the following clean renewable energy sources: Wind Power. The U.S. can produce more than 10 times its energy needs through wind power, one of the fastest-growing energy sources. Turbines use wind to generate electricity without creating pollutants. Currently, this is one of the least expensive alternative fuel sources available.
