Breath: The New Science of a Lost Art by James Nestor. Did you ever consider you are breathing incorrectly? I never would have considered this myself. On the surface, most would certainly cast aside the notion that we breath incorrectly. Yet, this book could change your life.
For example, we take 670 million breaths over the span of our life. Breathing is certainly finite. Yet how you breath unquestionably impacts how many breaths you have left.
Do you consider yourself healthy? Then consider this book for your loved ones: parents, family, friends, and coworkers. Do you know anyone afflicted with ailments such as scoliosis, rheumatoid arthritis, multiple sclerosis, or type 1 diabetes? Those conditions certainly impact not only how well anyone can breath, but also impacts how they perform daily basic tasks.
Part One – The Experiment
James is effective in communicating how since the dawn of time tribes around the globe have been focusing on breathing to increase their life, cure ailments, and even keep straight teeth. On the other hand, in American today sleep apnea, diabetes, high blood pressure and more ailments may be slowed, reversed or greatly reduced by simply breathing correctly.
For this purpose, Swedish researcher Anders Olsson joined James for a fascinating breathing study. Jayakar V. Nayak, MD, PhD tested their breathing over two, ten-day experiments. In just ten days of incorrectly breathing directly impacts your health. At the same time, lingering health issues can further deteriorate.
