210: Daily Steps to Reduce Inflammation and Stop Getting Sick | Wim Hof

COVID or any other disease, actually, is much based on acidity—a sore biochemistry in the body—and by which viruses are able to latch into the cell with that soreness, with that acidity on the cell skins, much better. Now, if you do breathing, deep breathing exercises, the pH levels go up, and they stay up.

Last year... 5 million people died of COVID. But, every year, 60-70 million people die of inflammation-related diseases. And we showed in 2014 with breathing exercises in the university, being injected with the bacteria, that the bacteria had no chance...

I was the first one to show that we are able to, with breathing techniques... alter the blood chemistry inside so much that we produce spiking adrenaline twice as much, just lying on the ground or on a sofa doing breathing exercises, twice as much a spike of adrenaline than somebody who goes goes in fear into his first bungee jump.

We are able to bring down the cause and effect of disease, which is inflammation. It is not only the E. coli, we are actually talking inflammation ... The damaging factor of COVID is inflammation. And now is the question, can we bring that down? I say yes, but it doesn't make money.

Just be happy, strong, and healthy. The rest is bullshit.

There is no excuse. You can train your mind anytime, because, in the end, that will make the difference. Your mind is the captain of your own ship. Your will is in connection with the rest of the neurology of your body.

There is nothing that makes your mind so ready as going into the cold in the cold plunge.

You can't find it by thinking, by pondering about it. You have to dive, literally, into the cold dark water—and that means into the dark mess of yourself, your dark side of yourself ... Don't be afraid.

It is amazing what a cold shower does, fully underestimated. People should do this all over the world.
