Absolutely.

So I want to go back to this study.

So they did 20 minutes of...

this controlled breathing.

At the end of either 20 or 30 rounds of breath, they did a prolonged breath hold.

And it was during this breath hold that the CO2 was building up.

They felt fine.

CO2 is the main vasodilator in the body.

It's dilating the microvasculature, which by the way, our heart is only circulating 30% of the blood in our body.

70% of the blood in our body is circulated by vasomotor activity.

So there's no pressure in those vessels.

So if we can dilate and relax them,

Think about the amount of blood flow that's going to tissues that previously were not getting any nutrients, any oxygen.

We were trapping inflammation in there and not getting it out.

So they would do this 20 or 30 minutes of controlled breathing.

And then would they go into cold water?

They would do cold water immersion?

Yes.

Cold showers and once a week coming together.

As you mentioned in the beginning, we are over individualized in this society.
