BRETAHING THREAD

You take more than 20.000 breathes a day but you are doing it wrong.

How to breathe correct for a healthy and long life:

- Thread - Image One important note that I won't go into too deep is:

Carbon dioxide is NOT bad.

We need a good balance between Oxygen & Carbon dioxide.

Carbon dioxide delivers oxygen to your cells.

RED LIGHT & PERFORMANCE

Red light boosts energy (ATP) production, enhances performance, improves recovery and reduces pain from injuries.

- Thread - Image Light carries energy.

Our cells need energy to function.

Cytochrome c oxidase (enzymes found in mitochondria) absorb light in some of the red and near-infrared spectrum.

They help to produce adenosine triphosphate (ATP), which is the cell’s main form of energy. Image

Red Light & Skin Health

Red light penetrates the skin and stimulates the production of collagen, smoothes the skin and reduces cell death.

- Thread - Image Red Light has a wavelength ranging from 600nm-700nm and infrared light ranging from 700nm-1400nm in length on the electromagnetic spectrum.

These wavelengths are able to pierce directly through your body tissues (skin/organs/bones) Image

Artificial blue light (from screens) messes up your circadian rhythm, blocks melatonin production, causes cell death (lysosomal) and has a premature aging effect on the skin.

- Thread - Image 1/ Light Explained

The sun emits all colors of light - red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo and violet.

Blue is high energy, short wavelength light, red/orange is lower energy, long wavelength light. Image

Grounding Thread

Skin contact with the earth has shown to decrease inflammation, improve bloodflow, speed up recovery and wound healing, regulate cortisol, and increase HRV. Image 1/ What is Grounding?

Grounding (or earthing) is simply getting in direct skin contact with the surface of the Earth through your bare feet, hands or entire body (swimming in the ocean).

Red Light (700nm-1400nm)

The wavelength that charges mitochondria, increases energy, improves skin health and strength,

- Thread - Image WHAT IS LIGHT?

Light is electromagnetic radiation that can be perceived by the human eye.

The 'white light' we perceive is actually made-up of all the colors of the light spectrum.

Each color has its own wavelength, level of energy and effect on the human body.

Sunlight

Exposure to sunlight has shown to increase serotonin levels, improve sleep, support cardiovascular health and boost your mood.

- Thread - Light is information.

Triggering visual color and non-visual responses in the retina depending on their energy and wavelength.

Once absorbed through our eyes and skin, our body interprets the (light) information and sets processes in motion accordingly. Image

Breathing controls your heart rate and nervous system.

6 techniques to change your state of mind: COHERENCE BREATHING

In coherent breathing, the goal is to breathe at a rate of 5.5 breaths per minute.

You can achieve this rate by inhaling and exhaling for a count of 5:

• Inhale for a count of 5.
• Exhale for a count of 5.
• Continue this breathing pattern for at least a few minutes.

The purpose of this type of breathing is to increase heart rate variability (HRV).
