how Halo Straw™ fights against Covid-19 while supporting your overall health
Given our current health pandemic, it is crucial we protect our own health in order to protect the health of others worldwide.
This includes our mental health, which is especially challenged in times of flux, transition and/or isolation. At Halo Straw™, we are committed to safe-handling and shipping procedures.
Furthermore, breathing out through the Halo Straw™ requires a little more effort on the exhale which creates a gentle force that naturally engages the primary core muscles involved in breathing, directing the breath downward and elongating the exhale, which in turn triggers the body’s built-in relaxation response in the nervous system.
Even first-time users sense and feel the immediate calming effects of slower, deeper breathing, and enjoy a slower heart rate, clearer thinking, a more grounded body, and even better digestion.
Designed to wear around the neck for access anytime, the Halo Straw™ is both a visible and tactile reminder to promote better breathing and lasting habits through neuromuscular re-education — when the brain and body actively work together to learn a new skill. Users stay more attentive with their breath practice and with less effort!
This is especially helpful for sensory integration issues or simply those whose busy minds tend to wander during yogic Pranayama and meditation.
Lastly, one of the most differentiating components of the Halo Straw™ is the antimicrobial copper metal material that can be found on the disk placed on top of the stainless steel straw and also lined inside.
According to a Reuters’ article, Copper Takes Aim at COVID-19 with Virus-Killer Coatings, “Copper’s disinfectant powers have long been known and its antibacterial, antiviral and anti-fungal properties have been supported by scientific studies.”
In March, a study was published that found SARS-CoV-2 remained viable for up to 4 hours on copper, compared with 2 to 3 days on plastic and stainless steel.
