Dr Krisda Sirampuj, director of an international anti-ageing medical centre, said a human body’s respiratory mechanism doesn’t start in the lungs, but actually in the brain, which instructs the human body to breathe. He said this brain-to-lungs connection is automatic and our bodies know not to hold the breath.

Protesters blocked the third public hearing on the National Health Security Bill in Khon Kaen in an effort to stop the activity and protest the bill.
