Description

Breath: The New Science of a Lost Art by James Nestor The way we breathe is essential to our health and wellbeing, yet as a species, humans have lost the ability to breathe correctly, with grave consequences. Journalist James Nestor travels the world to discover the hidden science behind ancient breathing practices to figure out what went wrong and how to fix it. Modern research is showing us that making even slight adjustments to the way we inhale and exhale can have a significant impact on our health. From athletic performance to internal organ rejuvenation, and even the treatment of snoring, allergies, and autoimmune disease, the benefits of correct breathing are being revealed. Drawing on thousands of years of ancient wisdom and cutting-edge studies in pulmonology, psychology, biochemistry, and human physiology, Breath turns the conventional wisdom of what we thought we knew about our most basic biological function on its head.
