Opening a jar can often feel like an impossible task. People with health issues including arthritis can find it especially difficult, but no doubt almost all of us have struggled at some point. Many of us can relate to the endless twisting. You can often find yourself left with sore hands and a lid that feels like it will never be moved.
Sometimes, you just have to admit defeat and pass it on to someone who has the strength to complete the job. But thankfully, one woman has shared a genius hack people have gone their whole lives without knowing – and it'll make it super easy to open those stubborn lids without enlisting help, reports the Mirror.
Author and therapist KC Davis often shares informative videos online, and recently she posted a clip of herself struggling to open a jar of pasta sauce. In the video, KC says: "I was 36 years old when I realised," after which she takes a bottle opener and places it on the side of the lid. She gently lifts it slightly up to release the pressure.
