James Nestor - Mark David John Evans
It’s estimated that we do this mindlessly 17,000 to 30,000 times a day. And that’s just when we are at rest! Breathing. One of the functions of the autonomic nervous system, happens without much or our attention. Is it time we start paying more attention to our breathe? Stresses of modernity have a direct effect on our breathing. Disease states effect our breathing. Emotions effect out breathing. Some evidence even shows our breathing may effect certain diseases. Come along with me as we learn why and how to improve our relationship with our breathe and how that will elevate and change our lives for the better. Sometimes it’s the simplest things that have the biggest impacts. PLUS Car's suggestion that he sees a way to control future pandemics by focusing on cities that have both busy international travel hubs plus a population dependence on mass transit is put to the test by a skilled statistician. If Carl right? PLUS The winner of the $429 BFR system is named. Was it you?
