Commercial Sauna Vs Home Sauna.

The last year has turned all our worlds upside down.
Even if we had our diet, exercise and sauna routine locked down before, suddenly all the venues were closed, or we did not feel comfortable visiting them as they were too crowded and too enclosed.

But we can sauna at home these days, and it is relatively affordable, but are they as good as the commercial saunas we had been using?
Are sauna tents worth the money?
Are portable steam saunas, and infrared saunas as good as the professionally installed home saunas that cost a fortune, and are either of them as good as the ones we used to visit that are run commercially as established premises with all the benefits they offer?

Well, in an attempt to answer these questions, I have looked at all the pros and cons of both and dissected them to try and help you make that decision.

Whether you are rich or poor, I have considered your options and attempted to answer those questions.

So follow me, as we take a stroll into the wonderful world of getting a bit sweaty… and all so we can live longer and healthier.

Sirtuins Anti Aging. Revisited. What they are. Why you should care.

Good day to you all.

Sirtuins are once again, making headlines. From a longer lifespan, again, through to helping old and dormant hair follicles to grow new hair, and of course a discourse between certain personalities on twitter, they continue to stimulate the interest and promise so much…

So I have decided to follow up my last sirtuins video with this one, Sirtuins revisited.

Here I look at them all from 1 to 7, to see what is being claimed for each one, and then I look at all the ways we can try to bring them all up to optimum so that we can live long, healthy lives, free from the maladies of old age.

I look at lifestyle interventions from exercise, saunas, cold therapies and more, through to diet choices and then finally on to supplements that are available to boost them all further.

So I hope you find it of use and enjoyable, and have a great weekend.


Sirtuins Anti Aging. Revisited.

Following up on my last sirtuins video I have added more information and an extensive list of what each sirtuin does, and what you can do to optimise yourself, and who you should be bothering.

From 3 Day Weekends Through To A Life Of Leisure.

From 3 day weekends to a future where all the jobs you do not want to do are automated, leaving you to spend your time as you desire.
Learning and research.
Sport and recreation.
Tourism and adventure.
Or whatever takes your fancy…

Well 4 day working weeks are already arriving, and I then show the rate of break throughs in Artificial Intelligence in just the last decade, which are removing the repetition and boredom from our jobs, so we can spend more time on the bits that matter and that are of interest.

What do you think?

Let us know your thoughts in the comments.

It appears your susceptibility to a virus, and also the intensity of the viral load that goes on to attack if your defences are breached, are inextricably linked to your sleep quality and circadian clock.

Attention Span Is Decreasing. How Social Media Affects Us https://spanish.lifeboat.com/blog/2021/06/attention-span-is-decreasing-how-social-media-affects-us https://spanish.lifeboat.com/blog/2021/06/attention-span-is-decreasing-how-social-media-affects-us#respond Sat, 26 Jun 2021 09:23:20 +0000 https://lifeboat.com/blog/2021/06/attention-span-is-decreasing-how-social-media-affects-us

Exercise and supplements are both great, but if you are constantly feeding your system with home made stimulants that your body produces, you may be fighting an uphill battle. I experienced just that recently, I seemed to be forever on one social media platform or another constantly, under the excuse of promoting my videos, and it really took its toll. So, I just had a few weeks off, reading, exercising, relaxing outside, when the sun was out that is, and going for walks in nature…and now it is your turn. In Attention Span Is Decreasing, I look at how our modern lifestyles, with all their trappings and perks, can have the opposite effect to the one we are after, and how you can start to take back control. Mute alerts, use the flight mode, stick it in a drawer and embrace the 20–5-3 rule, to live not just longer, but happier, and healthier, both in body and mind, because they are inextricably linked. And if you want to know it all in a bit more depth, check out this video on my channel.


In Attention Span Is Decreasing, we will learn how our modern lifestyles, with all their trappings and perks, can have the opposite effect to the one we are…

Have you seen those plant trees instead of go to space memes recently? Well, aside from believing we can do both, I wanted to remind people what great things we use everyday due to the technological developments that the space race has spawned. Not least, the monitoring of illegal deforestation, but right through to better baby food, cleaner water and incredible digital cameras!! But that is not all, so here is my Top 10 technologies, that we have the space industry to thank for…
