Some like it Hot – The Effect of Temperature
We spoke earlier about the daily body rhythm but did know our body temperature also changes throughout the day? When we wake up our body temperature slowly rises and peaks around 4-6pm.

Erector Spinae - The key to stabilising our spine
The erector spinae muscles are deep back muscles that surrounds your spine. Together they straighten your back, pull your head back, and arch your back backward.

However research shows that increased ventilation can improve our performance. Breezes help bring fresh air inside, help cool us, and stimulate our sense of touch. How can you include better ventilation in your house.
