00:00 The Filipino-American vlogger and TV personality Will Dasovich
00:06 bravely entered the literal "stop breathing" competition.
00:11 His static app is the stop of breathing under water.
00:20 The current national record is 5 minutes and 28 seconds.
00:29 He can hold his breath for 5 minutes and 28 seconds.
00:36 That's tough to beat.
00:41 Will's will to break the new national record will be enough?
00:49 Take a deep breath.
00:52 Breathe in. Breathe in. Breathe in.
00:58 Good morning, Philippines!
01:01 Will is known as an adventurous person who can be seen in his vlogs.
01:07 Even though he has a good body, his stomach is weak.
01:14 My stomach is really weak.
01:20 Before I began training, I was just a normal person.
01:27 What caught Will's attention was his static app.
01:30 This is the training that freedivers do to stop breathing under water.
01:37 But to do this, he needs to strengthen his stomach.
01:43 I know this is my opportunity to break national records.
01:49 This is what I've been training for all year.
01:51 Even though he's physically fit, Will had a hard time with his training.
01:57 Breathe in.
01:58 That's why Will is trying to stop breathing under water.
02:07 One of the ways I'm trying to train is even on an airplane or in an airport, I'm always holding my breath.
02:15 I'm teaching my biology to become adapted to not having oxygen.
02:26 So, my face is like this on an airplane.
02:30 I do breathing exercises everywhere.
02:37 In the grocery store. I'm just always doing it throughout the day.
02:41 At this point in my life, my friends know that I'm a little weird.
02:48 I'm a little off.
02:49 But I'm weird with a purpose.
02:52 All my weirdness has a point.
02:55 So, they're all used to it.
02:58 He trained for more than 4 months to stop breathing.
03:07 Under the guidance of his coach, he can stop breathing.
03:13 Just like full lung stretching.
03:19 There are other exercises that I do. I use an exercise ball where I'm stretching my torso.
03:26 And as I'm stretching, I'm holding my breath as well.
03:33 And empty lung stretching.
03:37 There are empty lung stretching as well.
03:40 Where you're stretching, you exhale all the air.
03:45 So, you have to do full lung stretching, empty lung stretching, and then on top of that, I also do yoga.
03:50 Yoga helped him calm his mind.
03:56 When you're holding your breath, everything has to be calm.
04:02 There should be no pain, no discomfort in your body.
04:07 This is 80% mental, this sport of freediving. 20% physical, I would say.
04:14 Until this month of August,
04:17 Will joined an international association for the development of his app in Batangas.
04:26 He accompanied various professional freedivers in the country.
04:31 Slowly hands on the wall, Will.
04:34 Slowly hands on the wall, Will.
04:36 We are almost there, Will. Stretch your body.
04:40 5-6 inch. Very good, good job. Foot on the ground, Will.
04:43 Will's new national record was set?
04:46 Stay tuned for more!
04:48 Meanwhile, is this type of exercise safe?
04:56 According to Doc April Calleja, an internist and pulmonologist,
05:01 breathing exercise is safe as long as your body can do it.
05:08 It helps strengthen the lungs, just like what Will does.
05:12 When you're taught to hold your breath, you're also taught to meditate.
05:18 When you meditate, you're taught to breathe properly.
05:23 At the same time, our diaphragm is our major muscle for breathing.
05:28 It's like it's also teaching you to breathe, it's also conditioning you.
05:32 But remember, Doc, don't force it if your body can't do it.
05:37 If you force it, the oxygen flow may drop in the brain of a person
05:42 so that it will lose consciousness or it may have permanent brain damage.
05:48 What we don't like with breath holding is when the point comes where your body can't take it anymore,
05:55 our body becomes anoxic, right?
05:57 So our oxygen saturation drops, it may lead to collapse,
06:01 or sometimes we have people who die if we call them.
06:05 Because we're not breathing, we're basically holding it,
06:08 there's no oxygen that can go in, which we need for us to oxygenate the body.
06:12 So inhale, that heart needs it, and other internal organs.
06:16 Physical exercises are said to help our lungs be healthy.
06:21 We start off with cardio first because if your heart rate is higher,
06:25 it's better for the body, right?
06:27 So we want to condition our body first
06:32 so that we can have intensive exercises.
06:35 But Doc, why are there some people who breathe quickly?
06:40 It depends on whether we're overweight.
06:42 If we're on the heavier side, we can breathe quickly with just a little movement.
06:46 Second, do we have an underlying problem?
06:49 If we often breathe for no reason,
06:52 it means we're not jogging, we're not lifting heavy weights.
06:58 If we're just walking normally but we're breathing heavily, I suggest you consult your doctor immediately.
07:02 Just for them to work you up on the diseases.
07:06 Because later, we might be surprised that we still have it.
07:08 Avoid vices like smoking.
07:12 There's a myth that smoking is not the same as vaping.
07:15 Well, I'm here to debunk that myth.
07:18 So vaping is as bad as smoking.
07:21 Without nicotine, it's still bad for the liver.
07:25 Meanwhile...
07:27 We can do this a lot of times.
07:29 You are completely okay.
07:32 Keep an okay sign with your left hand.
07:35 530, we are almost there.
07:38 You are stronger than this.
07:41 Keep an okay sign with your right hand.
07:44 Now breathe!
07:46 Hold! Inhale, hold!
07:48 Okay, sir?
07:50 Okay, okay, sir. Now say it.
07:53 I'm okay.
07:55 Okay, now?
07:56 Will Will be able to beat the time to beat?
07:59 Congrats, Will!
08:02 Will took 5 minutes and 44 seconds in the breathe-holding.
08:13 A new national record for the longest pause in breathing.
08:18 New national record.
08:20 New national record.
08:21 Boom! It's done.
08:30 White card is you win. You got it.
08:32 But red card, no.
08:34 That moment was one of the best moments of my life.
08:40 Aside from the new record, Will's lung is also stronger.
08:46 When you learn how to hold your breath and utilize oxygen better,
08:50 it translates to all the other parts of your life.
08:54 For a healthy and longer life,
08:57 we should take care of our health, including our lungs.
09:01 Because every breath is considered a blessing.
09:06 I am.
09:07 I am.
09:09 I am.
