A DIY Face Mask (no sewing)

Washing your hands, staying at home, and practicing good social distancing are all measures you can take to protect yourself and others from the spread of COVID-19. But now the U.S. is expected to add an additional recommendation to those guidelines: wearing a face mask. Those other preventative measures, can help reduce the rate of infection. And you don’t even need a sewing needle.
You can simply use a square handkerchief or a piece of fabric: Studies have shown that cotton is the most effective household material for catching microbes. To secure it, use two hair ties. If you don’t have those or they feel too tight on your ears, you can also cut the top of a pair of socks to create two soft, stretchy loops. Here’s how to assemble the mask step-by-step—I followed the instructions from the blog Japanese Creations:

Lay the handkerchief, bandana, or piece of fabric flat. Fold the bottom inward, then the top.

Flip it over. Fold the bottom in again, then the top.

Slide a hair tie or sock loop onto each side, and fold the ends of the fabric inward—this is the side that will directly cover your nose and mouth. Put the mask on by pulling the hair ties or loops over each ear and adjusting the fabric to fully cover your chin to your nose. Be sure to clean the mask after each use and keep washing those hands. ~Tiffany

Hi BodyRockers, . Face it you are weird. In today’s world if you train like a warrior, flex your discipline when it comes to your diet, and pass on grazing on donuts in the break room at work chances are you are chided on some level by those around as being weird. Get used to it. Embrace the smell of your sweaty socks. Not many people make a daily practice out of pushing themselves beyond their comfort zones for one workout a day. Not many people step out of what is comfortable for themselves period. This is a niche movement. Not everyone will get why you train this way or why you train at all. Thankfully we don’t need anyones permission or approval, and if we are looking for support we have a place to go where people get it. Being weird requires a good measure of independ

How Air Pollution Is Damaging Your Health

Image
Exposure to air pollution is associated with numerous effects on human health, including pulmonary, cardiac, vascular, and neurological impairments. The health effects vary greatly from person to person. High-risk groups such as the elderly, infants, pregnant women, and sufferers from chronic heart and lung diseases are more susceptible to air pollution. Children are at greater risk because they are generally more active outdoors and their lungs are still developing. Exposure to air pollution can cause both acute (short-term) and chronic (long-term) health effects. The health of our lungs and entire respiratory system is affected by the quality of the air we breathe. In addition to oxygen, this air contains other substances
