Suggestion: an episode on High Blood Pressure and its effects
especially in younger people. I have HPB and am on medication since I am 30 and my GP says is idiopathic. But I feel a bit left alone when it comes to what I can do to get a healthier HPB and it would be awesome to learn more
Deliberate cold exposure
From my understanding the use of deliberate cold exposure is among other things meant to work as a stressor to the body to spike Adrenalin and get an acute stress reaction which in the long term leads to making the body more resilient when getting stressed. When I do the cold exposure my general and spontanous reaction is some kind of hyperventilation, what makes my body be even more stressed, whereas when I concentrate on doing a calm breathing with a double inhale and long exhale my body feels much less stressed (as you would probably expect). My question now is: what breathing pattern would you reccomend when doing the cold exposure? Can the double inhale and long exhale from your point of view reduce the stress reaction (and adrenalin spike) and therefor maybe weaken the effect of getting more stress resilient?
