"No matter what you eat, how much you exercise, how skinny or young or wise you are, none of it matters if you're not breathing properly.
As a species, humans have lost the ability to breathe correctly, with grave consequences.
Journalist James Nestor travels the world to figure out what went wrong and how to fix it. The answers aren't found in pulmonology labs, as we might expect, but in the muddy digs of ancient burial sites, secret Soviet facilities, New Jersey choir schools, and the smoggy streets of Sao Paulo.
Modern research is showing us that making even slight adjustments to the way we inhale and exhale can jump-start athletic performance; rejuvenate internal organs; halt snoring, asthma, and autoimmune disease; and even straighten scoliotic spines. None of this should be possible, and yet it is."
This is one of the most important and fascinating books I have read in a long time! The research from this book is applicable to everyone; I have numerous clients, family and friends that have now read it and feel the benefits of breathing better already!
