Be careful with sauna daily. I saw an observational study a while back that showed that while sauna use was correlated with lower disease, that was only seen at around 3-4 times a week, and up to a certain temperature. More than that (frequency and temperature) and you no longer saw sauna benefits. I will see if I can find the paper later.
Yeah, I think I read the paper. No negative effects were seen, but there was a ceiling to dose dependent benefits. It was roughly 30m a session, at 4+ times per week.
Tell me more about your eye exercises - that sounds interesting!
One of my friends aunt's runs a new age hippy eye clinic...they insisted I get my near sighted ass over there and try it out. Wikipedia is not kind to eye improvement methods. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vision_therapy
I checked with my opthalmologist and they said it couldn't hurt.. so I tried out the hippie approach to vision restoration.
It's a weird mix of indian meditation, massage, resting, eye exercises, motion exercises, focus exercises.... I'm very incredulous, but I wanted to give it a fair shake.. so like a asshole I'm tracing the imagined shape of a intricate pattern with my chin and eyes closed...... And other things. After about a month I had to reduce the strength of my glasses a bit... And another month reduce a bit more.
It could be placebo, it could be my nerdy lifestyle was holding me back and this program changed my environment... But I'll take it.
Is bum gun a portable bidet?
Typically they are fixed installations. I've seen some online devices for a portable spray bottle.
So often at work I reach for the bidet and I realize it's not there. :(
It's uncivilized for a office not to have spray guns!
I live in a country of barbarians.
