Good Breathing Essential to Health

No matter what you eat, how much training you do, how weak or young you are: none of this matters, if you don't breathe properly, this is the main message that comes from the book “The Art of Breathing” of science journalist and writer James Nestor.

The “would look almost irrelevant, however, as a species, people have lost the ability to breathe properly, thus endangering health”, writes Nestor.

“One of the main reasons? People breathe more and more with their mouth than with their nose, losing 40 percent moisture, not using oxygen in the best way possible, and disrupting the function of certain brain areas associated with decision making and logic”, he adds, KP writes.

According to Nestor, even in the mask, because of our pandemic, we should remember to breathe with our nose, not fearing that its wearing reduces oxygen.

Between science, fiction, and anecdotes, and relying on lung experts to test the most popular beliefs in breath, the author also reveals that diseases such as asthma, anxiety, lack of attention disorder, psoriase, can be alleviated by changing the way of breathing.
