Humans are creatures of habit. Whether we notice it or not, our routines become a part of who we are–a ‘second nature’ we often take for granted. Take the example of our breathing; always present and always central, our breathing is a vital process to maintain balance in body and mind. Yet most of us seldom pay it mind unless something uproots the routine, such as asthma or a cold. But as more and more practitioners are discovering, that passive view of breathing is often harmful to our health. Thanks to better technologies and the rising popularity of Yoga and Mindfulness, the way we look at breathing is changing. It’s becoming clearer that our breathing deserves a more active role in our health and wellness; and perceptive practitioners are taking note.
We are currently witnessing the largest change to the Earth’s electromagnetic environment that has ever taken place in human history. Given that basic household electricity, which was the first anthropogenic (man-made) electromagnetic field (EMF), only became prolific during the twentieth century, artificial EMF has barely seen one generation from cradle to grave. The use of higher frequency microwave devices such as mobile telephony, Wi-Fi and smart meters, have suddenly become commonplace, despite serious health concerns. Could this be the greatest public health disaster in human history?
The process of making a new cell in your body starts by copying the map of how to build that cell, which is contained in a package of DNA strands called a chromosome. The chromosome divides in two, giving a new set of instructions to the new cell. At the end of the chromosome is something called a telomere, which is a bit like the hard bit at the end of a shoelace. This becomes shorter with each cell copy, until it is too short and the DNA is no longer protected. This initiates rapid ageing because cells stop dividing, and hence being replaced.
