I've always been a huge fan of Jen and love your tips Ben! But just FYI (as a first year med student), blood cannot be acidic! Unless something is seriously wrong, our blood is usually between 7.35-7.45 (>7 is alkaline,
As an actual doctor from Australia (hello!) I completely agree. A lot of pseudo-science going around. Eating and drinking acidic or alkaline foods get neuralised by the body so incredibly quickly. Like eating or drinking XYZ to help with 'detoxing' the body - but as long as we have a working liver and kidney, your body is so incredibly effective at detoxifying the body! I'm all for positive mindsets and breathwork and doing what you think is helpful, as long as it's ACTUALLY not harmful and wasting people's money.
Geneticist/Biochemist here. Yes! I came here specifically to comment what you did. I am glad someone is here to clear up the plethora of misinformation popular in today's society.
Our body actually produces more acid than alkali. It’s all neutralised by the bicarbonate buffer system. The 1:20 ratio of HCO3:CO3- makes the blood alkaline. Although the ph is slightly alkaline, the reactions inside the body produces more acid which is buffered. Oh! I’m a 3rd year Medical Student.
As an Australian doctor too, I just try to omit that part that precludes me from paying attention to the message behind the pseudo science. Often, due to my scientific method upbringing, I tend to shut my ears when I hear pseudoscience. This year I’ll try to listen to the message behind it 😄 With you all a great 2022
I love your enthusiasm and energy, Ben, but I'm hearing a lot of scientific misinformation in this video. I'm a clinical psychologist and some of your comments about the nervous system, blood acidity, etc. are factually inaccurate. Perhaps consider the way you communicate your ideas - for example, focusing on sharing your experiences with trying out different techniques, and encouraging your audience to do their own research re: the scientific underpinnings
First Jen and now Ben! when is Lennon going to post his own video?! lol Thank you for the positivity! I Backburn my happiness and you guys encourage me to change!
Happiness should always be our number one priority, because then everything else flows easily. Lenny already loves looking in the mirror so I think he's going to be showing off in no time!
@@HaveAGoodOne the truth! you guys get through some tough situations in life because of your values. Lennon is lucky to have the family you two made for him. hahaha aww good glad he's as charismatic as you both.
My grandmother was the first woman to swim from Denmark (where I’m from) to Sweden. Last year I got the stupid idea to follow in her footsteps and do the same. I don’t like water or swimming in particular, so this is so dumb. But I really want to push myself, and get uncomfortable in a way I haven’t before. So now I’m just putting it out there in the universe, as one of my goals/resolutions🤙🏼 Other than that, I’ve got ones you mentioned as well; breathwork, cold showers, meditation and working out 😊
These were actually great tips, I didn't know most of them!! Definitely implementing them on this new year (though I'm kind of sceptical about the cold therapy part, seems too hard!) :D Thank you Ben for sharing with us!!
I've already watched this video 3 times heheeh!! Ben, your videos feel like a comforting hug and I appreciate it so much 🥺🥺💕💕💕 I feel so supported and inspired by you!!
I appreciate everything you're saying and your energy! However, I do think we put too much emphasis on happiness and not enough on inner peace. Personally, I think when happiness is the goal it's much more noticeable when not attained and can disappoint a lot of people. Many of us need to work towards a base of contentment - but this is a great and and informative video to go above and beyond that :)
Because now we know that water reacts to thoughts and words, and we know that we are made up of 70% water, that means that 70% of our body reacts to negative and positive thoughts and words, meaning our words and thoughts are very powerful. I hope that helps, I cut some of that section to save time.
@@HaveAGoodOne Do we know that? Masaru Emoto wasn't a scientist, he was an alternative medicine "doctor" and his "experiment" was not peer reviewed or replicable. His findings were subjective and not produced in controlled conditions. I enjoyed and appreciate your video but just a bit concerned to see this idea presented as fact especially in the age of covid+climate pseudoscience and misinformation. Thank you for sharing your advice, gratitude and positive thinking is so important!
@@Bottlenosedolphin_ We shouldn't bully, but this video shows us how misleading trusting without searching scientific proof in legit journals can be. Someone without the right education( or with one) can easily believe alternative pseudo science "proofs". The right informations are out there and we can find the truth by constantly asking "why" "how" "prove it".
I feel like this is getting into pseudoscience and not really thought out. If water reacts to thoughts how do we j ow if the reaction of water has positive or negative effects on our body? Why does that mean we should drink more of it No we definitely shouldn't bully, I really appreciate Ben's style but people should always be careful about giving health advice which has no basis in science
What wonderful tips n energy n inspiration 👌😉didn’t know that deep breathing helps to alkaline our blood & expanding the veins, will def do the deep breathing from now...great tips, will try to follow except the cold therapy...I think I will catch pneumonia before going further sessions...😄TFS ✌️🎈❤️
Good video Ben! May I suggest doing your meditations sat upright? I have been following some meditation teachings and it appears that for some unknown reason, doing meditation laying down does not offer the same level of concentration and focus that sitting up straight does. So please try and consistently do it up straight. You will notice a significant improvement in your meditation sessions.
It is like you knew that I needed a video like this one today! i work in the U.K civil service and my days at work can become really stressful, so watching your video, it's the best way for a Friday evening reset! xx
Thank you for your service, Mihaela! The more stressful your working environment the more important self care is in your downtime. So hopefullt his is an extra nudge to find some time for yourself, you deserve it!
Thank you for sharing Ben! I definitely want to prioritise perseverance, it's easy to get caught up in the excitment of new goals and methods, but some things take a long time to work and I want to not give up basically! Good luck to everyone this year :)
Hey Ben. Used your link to purchase Seed couple months ago. I love it. I’ve noticed a significant difference. It’s now a staple in my morning routine. Thank you for all the positivity you put out into the world. Appreciate you and Jenn.
Thank you so much for this effort you put in this video. I am totally living the world you talk about, still i love listening more and more about that🌺
I cannot thank you enough for these tips. Some of them, I have been trying to be more purposeful with and others I haven’t thought about trying. This was the push I needed 🙏🏽 Wishing you, Jenn, and Lennon nothing but positivity and light ✨
Hi Ben! Could you talk about how you feel now that you are a new dad and what your struggles were? Since I saw Jenn's video I wonder how your situation was/is
I just wanna highlight parallels I started realizing. I wonder if Ben and Jenn know of Shenae Grimes and Josh Beech? Two Queens with British Kings!! And had newborns!
Honestly, no matter what you say it’s always so positive, I love your energy. I don’t do resolutions, but always plan no matter the time of the year it is. For me, at the beginning of this year I bought subscription for meditation app. I was already meditating before, but the fact that I’m paying now really holds me accountable. It’s been one of the best things I did for myself so far. Keep your energy Ben and your fantastic work. All the best for 2022!
I love and appreciate your positive and enthusiastic personality. It is very refreshing to see and hear and thank you for sharing your tips! Wishing you and Jenn a fantastic 2022!

With pH level below 7,2 you actually need to be hospitalised and most likely you are already in coma

@@fatine thank you! 😭 and yea, she really was!
Putting so much positivity into the world! Thank you 🙏
Hi Ben, loved the tips you included especially the cold therapy technique 🥶 I would love to see a video talking on maturity since becoming a dad now!
These were actually great tips, I didn't know most of them!! Definitely implementing them on this new year (though I'm kind of sceptical about the cold therapy part, seems too hard!) :D
Thank you Ben for sharing with us!!
Love to hear it, Mica! You got this! Especially the cold therapy, you quickly start looking forward to it because it makes you feel THAT good!! X
I've already watched this video 3 times heheeh!! Ben, your videos feel like a comforting hug and I appreciate it so much 🥺🥺💕💕💕 I feel so supported and inspired by you!!
This video is so helpful!! Needed this!
Jenn and you have convinced me to finally try cold therapy. Curious to see the results!
I appreciate everything you're saying and your energy! However, I do think we put too much emphasis on happiness and not enough on inner peace. Personally, I think when happiness is the goal it's much more noticeable when not attained and can disappoint a lot of people.

Seeing you being inspired by your own well-being inspires me so much, I just have 2 words for you, thank you!!! 🙏
Thank you so much for sharing these habits! Love that they are all pretty doable & applicable for my own lifestyle 🤍
Your videos and cheerful attitude always put me in a great mood, Ben! Here's to a great year!
