In this episode, we explore the profound impact of our breathing on health and well-being 🌬️. Did you know we breathe over 20,000 times a day? Each breath not only keeps us alive but also significantly influences our sleep patterns, focus, energy levels, and even long-term health risks.
In the modern world, many of us are struggling to breathe effectively. Factors like hunching over laptops, constant connectivity, and a diet of softer foods have led to increased mouth breathing, particularly at night.
The guest for this episode is James Nestor, an award-winning science journalist and the author of the bestseller “Breath”. He has traveled the globe to better understand how our breathing has evolved and what practical steps we can adopt to enhance it.
James discusses:
– The dangers associated with mouth breathing and insights from his own 10-day experiment
– The benefits of nasal breathing
– Strategies for dealing with a blocked nose or deviated septum
– Techniques for training your diaphragm for improved breathing
– The effects of modern soft diets on our airways
This enlightening conversation led to genuine shifts for my team and me. It aims to inspire small changes that can lead to big benefits. If you know a dedicated mouth breather, make sure to share this episode with them!
