Philosophical Café: Evolving versus Having Fun?
What makes us happier: evolving or having fun? Listening to an American coach recently sparked this question in me: should we strive to evolve or focus entirely on having fun and experiencing joy?

HOW TO BREATHE PROPERLY TO SUPPORT YOUR MENTAL HEALTH?
Our way of breathing has deteriorated over the course of our evolution. Indeed, our brain has grown, leaving less space for the airways. Our diet and lifestyle have also greatly influenced how we breathe.

This is due to the domino effect: improper breathing leads to sleep apnea, stress, fatigue, higher blood pressure, and so on. It can even lead to chronic insomnia, attention disorders, etc.
