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.
