"When you think you're drinking from a can, you're not drinking from a can. You're drinking from a plastic bag that's inside of a can."

"And you're getting all those microplastics, those hormone disrupting chemicals, and all those negative things absorbing into your drink."

"So avoid the cans and go for glass, stainless steel or copper."

The Babinski reflex is a response that occurs when the sole of the foot is stroked, causing the big toe to move upward and the other toes to fan out. This reflex is normal in infants and typically disappears by age 2; if present in older children or adults, it may indicate a neurological issue.

Sea cave on the coast of Capri, Italy
The Blue Grotto is a sea cave on the coast of the island of Capri, southern Italy. Sunlight shining through an underwater cavity is reflected back upward through the seawater below the cavern, giving the water a blue glow that illuminates the cavern. The cave extends some 50 metres into the cliff at the surface, and is approximately 150 metres deep, with a sandy bottom

Apologies. Was compelled to post this solely for the comments, just 3 few of which are

. I used to only have 1 eye because of an accident but because of this trickI have 3 eyes now!

. I’m deaf and after doing this I was able walk again!!! Bless you❤❤❤

. My blind uncle did this. Now hes my aunt. Thank you

PS: I should also add that the exercises themselves are good for the eyes and recommended by other YouTubers, although the 12 minute claim is more than a bit doubtful

A wonderful little video! (Do see my post on the Supplements thread, in which I talk about raw cacao, readily available here in Ecuador and which in its basic form is quite a potent superfood.)
