Before a high-stakes call and your heart's racing?

Full transcript
Before a high-stakes call and your heart's racing? Fill a bowl with cold water — ten to fifteen degrees — hold your breath, and put your face in for fifteen seconds. It triggers the mammalian dive reflex: your heart rate drops and the panic dials down, fast. It's a rescue tool, not a daily habit — skip it if you have a heart-rhythm condition. Fifteen seconds, one bowl, back in control. agegen.ai. Generate your prime age! ~~ Mr. Age
