You are probably breathing TOO MUCH, which is affecting... your longevity and looks. It probably sounds counterintuitive - more breaths = better, right? No. Today, we breathe shallow, from our mouths, into our chests at a pace that is more to our detriment than otherwise. The average person takes 18-20 breaths per minute, optimal pace being 6-10. This blows out CO2 faster than the body can produce it. Less CO2 means less oxygen reaches your cells, no matter how much air you breathe in. When you chronically overbreathe, your: → Sleep collapses → Skin dulls and ages faster → Cortisol stays elevated 24/7 → Lymph backs up and the face puffs → Lips lose tone and the seal weakens → Forward head posture sets in and the jaw retracts → Tongue drops from the palate and the maxilla narrows → Cheekbones lose support and the midface collapses inward Just from breathing incorrectly. The most ideal way to breathe is: -through your nose -funnelling the air BACKWARDS (imagine directing the air into the lower back region) -in a slowly and controlled manner This is called Back Breathing and you will instantly feel a difference. Breathe less. Live longer. Look better. ⚡️show more

For a minute keep your politics aside, who you... voted for aside, whataboutery aside, farm fire vs fire crackers aside and ask yourself just one question.. don’t we need to do a lot more for a better, cleaner future not just for our children but our nation, would it be too much to ask from governments (irrespective of which party in power) to prioritise the air we breathe? Do we ask questions about the silence of the environment ministers, our senior ministers in the cabinet? Flew in from Mumbai today into Delhi and this is the difference. We need to do better.show more

Today’s #AQI is over 200. Our city has been... engulfed in polluted air since the monsoons stopped. There is no skyline visible that developers are so proud of. It is hidden in the smog. Imagine what this is doing to the lungs of our children? The rampant waste burning, industrial emissions, over 6000 construction sites continue to flout guidelines and norms. Despite repeated warnings and attempts to put checks in place. Breathing this toxic air affects every person. Our children and elderly especially. Hope the Maharashtra Pollution Control Board and माझी Mumbai, आपली BMC will do more to help us all breathe cleaner air. As citizens we will support you but WE must do more to #BeatAirPollution 🙏🏻show more

Eyes Up ✅ Eyes Down ❌ Let’s talk about... why: 👀 The Spine: Looking down bends your neck and breaks your posture. A neutral chin is a technique win! 👏 ⚡️ The Speed Illusion: Looking down feels faster, but it actually forces your body into a slower position. Keep your eyes up to run faster with less effort. ⬆️ The Awareness: Seeing obstacles 20 meters ahead vs. 2 feet in front of you gives you way more time to react and adjust. 😮‍💨 The Airway: Tucking your chin can slightly compress your airway. Keeping your head neutral keeps everything open for maximum breathing efficiency. Your homework today: Try looking down for a few strides, then look up. Notice the instant shift in your posture, breathing, and awareness? 👇show more

You Can Heal Yourself With Nature Movement - By... moving our body we give strength to our muscles, promote blood flow and lymphatic flow enhancing the delivery of nutrients and the removal of waste products. We also create a piezoelectric effect that energises the system. Breathing - The delivery of air into the body through intentional conscious breathing is one of the most powerful modalities for nervous system renewal, mental peace and the delivery of oxygen to the body and the removal of carbonic acid buildup from the system Sunshine - It’s my belief that the more sunlight we absorb without sunscreen, the healthier we will become. A tan looks good because it is healthy and every part of your body thrives when sunlight touches it delivering blood flow as well as a high frequency and energy Grounding - Existing in connection with the earth’s electrical fields resets everything about our energy, reduces inflammation and promotes the movement of proper channels such as detox - it’s a fantastic practice to be connected to nature. Green light - When sunlight moves through trees and leaves we receive Green light by which is very healing and high in near infrared light, in fact it is one of the most healing modalities to absorb in your skin particularly if you have any abrasions or wounds - even more powerful than red light . Fresh air - The first nutrient, having fresh air that is rich in oxygen is absolutely imperative to health and you should always have all of your windows open in the house if possible when not outside. Positive thinking - Whatever you think, shall become and having and cultivating a positive mindset that intentionally brings you positive energy is one of the cornerstones to great health. You can think yourself into sickness and you can think yourself into health so choose to view the world in a positive light and so it’ll be for you.show more

Today, we’re pulling back more of the curtain on... the in-house teams and technology that will bring the Ford Universal Electric Vehicle to life. More than half of our aero team came from the Formula 1 world, where air is either your greatest ally or most punishing enemy - and every curve matters. From the sculpted roofline to the underbody, our teams are chasing physics in search of longer range and lower cost for our customers. Our new mid-size electric truck’s aerodynamic efficiency is more than 15% better than any other pickup truck on the market today. “To the air, it’s no longer a truck”. From a zonal architecture and 48V low-voltage system, to the new in-house E-Box, and smaller and lighter wire harnesses, the team is obsessing over every detail with UEV. Our aim is to have a family of vehicles that we expect to compete on price with the best in the world, including gas vehicles. And they will be FUN to drive!show more

The importance of pointing the AirFanta Wear personal air... purifier accurately. You need to point the center of the Wear's airflow at your breathing zone. Otherwise you won't get any benefit from the device. This is just a visualization using the mist from an ultrasonic nebulizer to stand in for unfiltered ambient air. In the demonstration the air is not completely still due to the output of the nebulizer. But the air flow may be similar to cross currents that might be found in indoor settings. AirFanta has shown a number of different ways to position the Wear, but hasn't given exact numbers for distance as far as I know. I'm using a distance of 2 inches or less as a rule of thumb, with the center of the device pointed at my breathing zone. The 3/4 position feels like it's one that people may be the most interested in because it can let you eat while at the same time maintaining a close proximity to the output. The Wear is not meant as a one-to-one replacement for a respirator grade mask. It's best for situations where you were not going to be wearing a mask at all, but would still like to breathe cleaner air. Avoid risk compensation, which is where you take on more risk because you think you are more protected than you actually are. For instance, visiting a nephew sick with measles without an N95 mask because you think the Wear will give you equal protection. Maintaining the correct distance and orientation between the Wear and your breathing zone requires conscious effort. The Wear can reduce your overall exposure to airborne contaminants, but it needs to be used very close to breathing zone and needs to be very accurately centered.show more

Ancient yogis trained kumbhaka long before modern science had... words for it. Today we’d call this a controlled CO₂ tolerance drill. When you safely practice breath retention, you train the body to stay calmer under rising air hunger. That can improve breath control, focus, diaphragm awareness, and your ability to handle stress without instantly tensing or panicking. Steps Close the nostrils with your thumbs Inhale deeply through the mouth Tilt the head slightly forward Blow out the cheeks Hold the breath as long as possible Recover slowly and calmly Old practice. Modern use. Less panic. More control. Comment BREATHE if you want more ancient-meets-science breathwork.show more

Thumbpulling™ will change your face. And the reason why... is something NOBODY talks about. The follow-up after every set is a Pandiculation. Pandiculation is the stretch every human and animal instinctively does. It's why cats arch their backs after waking up. It's why dogs stretch their front legs out before they move. It's why you yawn and stretch the second you wake. It's the body's built-in fascial reset. The nervous system uses it to: -recalibrate posture -rehydrate the fascia -release stored tension -update the resting tone of muscles -rewire the set point of the entire system Thumbpulling™ does exactly this - it forces a pandiculation which loosens the sutures, releases the fascia (you can hear creaking sounds of this happening) This allows your face to be more mobile - allowing your tongue to expand the palate and maxilla. This is exactly what people in my community have been integrating into their daily routines to improve their appearance. Everyone will be Thumbpulling eventually ⚡️show more

Hills I will die on as someone who has... coached high school football for over 29 years: 1. If you are not PASSIONATE about blessing, serving, and empowering those you are blessed to coach, this profession is not for you. 2. As much as we need to know our trade, getting to know (and to love), our players is far more important. 3. This is an INTENSE game, and it’ll never be “just a game”, but it IS a game. Remember that when you’re with your team, and more importantly, remember that when you’re with your family. 4. Just as we teach our athletes to “leave things better than they found them”, we need to leave our athletes better than they were when they first entered into our program. Never let a day pass without pouring into each and every individual. 5. Life is complicated enough, let’s not complicate the game in such a way that we take the joy of it away from others. In other words… Keep it simple. 6. Our words carry little (or NO), value, if we don’t practice what we preach. WE as coaches should be learning and growing each and every day, just as we expect our athletes to. 7. As much as we all want to win those championship rings for our athletes, make sure you don’t lose your wedding ring in the process. 8. The athlete that may be “difficult to reach/teach” (the one who may get on your last nerve more than you could ever imagine), is someone’s EVERYTHING. Get to know them as human beings, find out what motivates them, and do everything you can to help them to thrive. 9. Be where your feet are. Don’t fall into the trap of chasing logos and thinking that a higher division, a bigger school, or going from HS to college, or even college to the pros, is going to be more rewarding or fulfilling. 10. The legacy you leave as a coach will never be determined by your wins and losses, but by the lives you were able to change for the better!show more

MR. POOL WHAT ACTUALLY HAPPENS INSIDE YOUR BODY WHEN... YOU LIE ON A MEDBED MAT? You don't feel it happening. But at a microscopic level, a massive biological shift is taking place. When you lie down on the MedBed Home Therapy Mat, three specific frequencies penetrate your skin, bypass your bones, and enter your cells. Here is exactly what happens in the next 20 minutes: MINUTE 1-5: THE MITOCHONDRIA REBOOT The 660nm Red Light hits the mitochondria (the engine of your cells). If your cells are damaged or aging, they are struggling to produce energy. The red light forces them to instantly produce ATP (pure cellular energy). Your cells wake up. MINUTE 5-10: THE INFLAMMATION PURGE The 850nm Near-Infrared light goes deeper. It penetrates up to 8mm into your tissue, reaching muscles, joints, and organs. It triggers the release of nitric oxide, which dilates your blood vessels. Blood flow surges. Deep-tissue inflammation is flushed out. MINUTE 10-20: THE VOLTAGE SPIKE The PEMF (Pulsed Electromagnetic Field) activates. Healthy cells operate at 70mV. Sick, inflamed cells operate at 20mV. The PEMF recharges the electrical membrane of every cell in your body, spiking the voltage back to 70mV. At 70mV, your body stops surviving and starts regenerating. You don't swallow a pill. You don't inject a chemical. You just give your body the exact frequencies it needs to repair itself. Day 1: Sleep architecture deepens. Day 7: Joint stiffness and brain fog begin to clear. Day 14: Cellular regeneration is in full effect. Your body is a self-healing machine. It just lost its power source. Plug it back in. 📷📷📷 📷show more

The role of sleep and nutrition in the hypertrophy... process is vastly overstated.⠀ ⠀ Not completely. You can absolutely sabotage your growth by sleeping three hours a night and eating like a committed pacifist. Nobody is disputing that.⠀ ⠀ But the idea that you need to optimise beyond a healthy, self-respecting human baseline, that blackout curtains and protein timing and sleep tracking apps and a meal prep schedule calibrated to the gram will unlock some extra tier of growth that a normal person sleeping normally and eating normally cannot access, is an industry talking point dressed up as physiology.⠀ ⠀ If you are not recovering session to session, the suspects are in the gym, not the bedroom.⠀ ⠀ - Too much volume.⠀ - Less than two rest days a week.⠀ - Lengthened position movements that torch the muscle at its longest point.⠀ - Slow eccentrics, which cause extraordinary amounts of muscle damage for the stimulus they produce.⠀ - Drop sets.⠀ - Supersets.⠀ - Short rest periods that mean your next set starts before your last set has finished paying off.⠀ - Training to absolute failure consistently, which is a fast way to dig a recovery hole you are not equipped to climb out of.⠀ ⠀ Pull back on those and you will make more progress than you would by mastering your sleep hygiene protocol.⠀ ⠀ The bedroom is not where the problem lives.⠀ ⠀ The gym is where the problem lives.⠀ ⠀ Go back in. Do less. Rest longer. Get more.show more

I often teach the 4-7-8 breathing technique because it’s... a simple, powerful way to calm the nervous system and reset your stress response. Inhale for four seconds, hold for seven, then exhale for eight — no equipment, no special setting, and you can do it almost anywhere. Practicing this regularly can help reduce anxiety, support better sleep, and bring a sense of calm in just a few breaths. Link in bio to watch the full demonstration and learn how to make it part of your routine. #BreathingTechniques #MindfulnessPractice #StressReliefshow more

Apparently, I saw this video online and I decided... to share. What this worker is applying is called bitumen, or what many of us know as bituminous coating. Most people think a wall is a solid, impenetrable block, but in reality, it is more like a sponge. Concrete and blocks have microscopic pores that pull water from the earth through a process we call capillary action. This thick black substance is the shield that stops that water from climbing up into the house. It is not about making the wall look good because this part will be buried under the dirt forever. It is about creating a skin that water cannot breathe through. When do you need to do this? The need for this arises because the soil is a very aggressive environment. Water is not your only enemy.. The ground also contains salts and sulfates that want to eat away at the cement. If this moisture finds its way to the steel bars inside the columns, those bars will start to rust. And when steel rusts, it expands, and that expansion is what cracks the concrete from the inside out. This coating is the only thing standing between your foundation and that kind of slow destruction. Thats is why if you see wet patches at the bottom of your walls inside your house, it usually means someone skipped this step or did it poorly during construction. You can apply this anytime you are building parts of a structure that will stay in contact with the ground. It is common in areas where the water table is high or where the soil stays damp for most of the year. This is a one-shot opportunity. Once you backfill the soil, you can never go back to fix it without a lot of expense and a lot of digging. It is about having the foresight to protect the heart of the building while it is still exposed. Please don’t ignore this if you need to. If you ignore it now to save a bit of money, you will be funding the future decay of your own home. I hope this helps.show more

Here is a drill to help you learn what... it feels like to use the ground and start to sequence effectively. Notice how the club is setup in the video between my feet. Get to your back swing and jump favoring your lead foot left and laterally like I am. With that feeling step in and hit one. Not where you are pushing off from when you swing and try and get that into a feeling that makes sense to you. This is how power is created in the golf swing. This is also where physical limitations can show up.show more

Maybe some coaches will chime in on this…. But... this is how I’m seeing it right now. I think you’re going to see more and more two way guys coming on the scene in college baseball. Here is why. The rosters are going down to 34 man rosters. You will be needing 2-4 guys who can eat up an inning or two and be able to produce in the field and at the plate. Those numbers may be even higher than that. Years ago when a college told you- you can two way, it typically meant we are brining you in, youll have a short leash and your most likely going to be a PO. Now it’s a legit thing. Schools will need much more versatility- If you can pitch and hit AND play multiple spots on the field. Your stock will rise this year and years beyond. It’s just a matter of can you develop both and do both safely with the load on the arm. Bobcats open on the 13th at home!!! #slammarcos #baseball #twowayplayer #beisbol #pitchershow more

🇮🇷🇮🇱| The Iranian Handala Hackers have trolled a Zionist... nuclear scientist They left him a bouquet of flowers inside his own car and said: “Yesterday, you received our bouquet. A harmless object, at first glance. But you noticed the weight of it, didn’t you? You felt the presence behind it, the hands that carried it, the footsteps that faded just before you opened the door. Tell us, Dr. Isaac Gertz… how is your car? Did you hear the soft click when you touched the door handle? Did it feel… unfamiliar? We walk in your streets. We breathe your air. We stand in places you believed were inaccessible. Your regime’s illusion of security has already collapsed, silently, without alarm, without announcement. Tell your Prime Minister this: He should worry less about controlling the people and more about feeding them. The hunger rising beneath his feet grows louder each hour.” It is unclear whether Handala has done anything to this nuclear scientist’s car or not. But this shows that he probably got a message.show more

Would you knowingly drink a glass of water filled... with dangerous pathogens, bacteria, and pollutants? More than a century ago, water treatment and sewer systems transformed public health and saved countless lives. But we still have not done the same for the indoor air we breathe, where Americans spend roughly 90 percent of their time. Whether it is a school, office, hospital, or home, we often have no idea if the air around us contains harmful invisible particles that could be affecting our health. ARPA-H’s BREATHE program is working to change that by building technologies and systems that can monitor indoor air quality, detect potential health threats early, and help make indoor spaces healthier and safer. On this Asthma and Allergy Awareness Month and beyond, ARPA-H is working to make cleaner indoor air a standard of modern public health. Learn more about BREATHE: Mayo Clinic Virginia Techshow more

More and more Americans are leaving the United States... right now. Leaving the U.S. wasn’t “running away.” It was choosing our kids’ future. I’m done pretending it’s normal to: • budget healthcare like a luxury • rehearse school safety fears in your head • live one layoff away from panic • grind so hard you don’t recognize your own life And I’m done pretending the direction of democracy, rule of law, and human rights is “just politics” — it’s the air our kids grow up breathing. We moved LA → the Netherlands because we wanted a calmer baseline — one that’s built to support families, not exhaust them. Be honest — how close are you to leaving?
