Description

Breath: The New Science of a Lost Art Our health and wellbeing depend on breathing properly, yet as a species, humans have lost the ability to breathe correctly. Science journalist James Nestor explores the science behind ancient breathing practices and their potential to improve our health. He travels the world to uncover the answers, from ancient burial sites to secret Soviet facilities, and teams up with experts to scientifically test long-held beliefs about how we breathe. Modern research is showing that changing our breathing habits can have a significant impact on our athletic performance, snoring, and overall health. By examining thousands of years of medical texts and recent cutting-edge studies in pulmonology, psychology, biochemistry, and human physiology, Breath turns our understanding of breathing on its head.
