If everyone was to self-impose “JUNK FOOD distancing” alone there would be a dramatic improvement of health stats.
Imagine if on top of that everyone was to go move outside in nature every day, getting sunlight?
“You may say I’m a dreamer, but I’m not the only one...”
And the list of healthy “things” you can do to make and keep yourself healthy doesn’t stop there obviously...sleeping solid nights, meditating to lower stress, etc etc...that’s true health care, the kind that doesn’t come with big bills, the kind that’s in everyone’s hands.
The kind that Big Pharma hates because it goes against their massive profits, the kind that governments will never support because they’re all sold out to the private interests of Big Pharma.
Our collective ignorance and disempowerment represents TRILLIONS of dollars. Get it?
oh, also...
YOU KNOW WHAT TO DO.

“Intermittent Hypoxic Training as an Effective Tool for Increasing the Adaptive Potential, Endurance and Working Capacity of the Brain” by Rybnikova et al. (2022) provides a comprehensive review of intermittent hypoxic training* (IHT) and its potential benefits.

Historical Context:
The review traces the evolution of hypoxia research, noting its initial association with pathological conditions and its later recognition for adaptive and therapeutic potentials.
Physiological Mechanisms:
IHT induces systemic adaptations, including enhanced lung ventilation, improved cardiovascular function, and optimized tissue oxygen. utilization.
Today I broke the US 🇺🇸 static breath-holding national record I already held (under the CMAS rules) by an extra 24 seconds…but this time in the “Master” category (+50 years old).
The 7 minutes 8 seconds record was validated by the US Freediving Federation.
I’m happy yet not satisfied because the water and weather conditions caused me to get cold early. Fighting the cold takes a lot of energy, causes tension and mild shivering, which costs significant oxygen and shortens the time you can hold your breath.
That’s especially the case because maximum breath hold attempts are done on a fasted state (18 hours fast or so) which makes you sensitive to cold, and obviously breathing cannot be used for internal regulation.
