Science & the Old Wives Diving Reflex
Many of you have seen this video, where the guy says if you're feeling anxious, agitated, uncomfortable, or scared, spalsh cold water on your face. It triggers the mammalian diving reflex which instantly lowers your heart rate and respiration. He's not wrong. It turns out, science is behind something my Mom always told me, something I thought was just an "Old Wives' Tale." It got me wondering...what else did the Old Wives know? Join me every Saturday for my new video series: "Science and the Old Wives."
