  • Breathing Through Your Nose

    I have long contended that breathing through your nose gets oxygen to your brain the quickest, though I’ve never found scientific data to support my claim. Logic would have it that since the sinuses are so close to the brain, breathing deeply in through the nose helps to clear one’s head and calm one down.… Read more

  • Remembering the Date (9/11)
