You may be breathing wrong. Here's how to fix it.
At times, self-improvement can seem like a never-ending hallway filled with limitless shame and insufficiency. So when something as simple as the breath falls into this category, it seems only natural to meet that news with some resistance. Our guest today, James Nestor, argues that many of us, of all things, are breathing incorrectly but that by fixing our breathing, it can help with both physical and psychological ailments.
Nestor is a science journalist who wrote a book called, Breath: The New Science of a Lost Art , which spent 18 weeks on the New York Times bestseller list and was translated into more than 35 languages.
In this episode we talk about:
How Nestor got interested in breathing in the first place
Why we are the worst breathers in the animal kingdom
The importance of posture
The deleterious effects of mouth breathing
Why we need to chew more
The relationship between breathing and anxiety
The relationship between breathing and sleep
And we dive into a variety of breathing exercises
