Patrick McKeown's "The Breathing Cure" is considered a definitive guide to Buteyko breathing methods, offering a comprehensive approach to respiratory health and well-being. The book details the science behind inefficient breathing and its impact on various health conditions. McKeown provides step-by-step instructions and practical exercises to help readers retrain their breathing patterns and improve their carbon dioxide tolerance. The book emphasizes the importance of nasal breathing and controlled breathing rates for optimal health. It's a valuable resource for individuals seeking to address respiratory issues and improve their overall health through conscious breathing techniques.
In 'Breath: The New Science of a Lost Art,' James Nestor delves into the history and science of breathing, revealing how modern humans have lost the ability to breathe correctly. The book takes readers on a global journey to ancient burial sites, secret Soviet facilities, and other unusual locations to uncover the hidden science behind ancient breathing practices like Pranayama, Sudarshan Kriya, and Tummo. Nestor collaborates with pulmonary experts to test long-held beliefs about breathing and presents evidence that slight adjustments in breathing can significantly improve athletic performance, rejuvenate internal organs, and alleviate various health issues such as snoring, asthma, and autoimmune diseases.
IN THIS EPISODE OF THE HUMAN UPGRADE™...
… you’ll learn why every breath you take makes a difference in how your entire body functions. The way you breathe affects the quality of your life and every one of your body systems. Full stop. This goes for adults and kids alike.
In this special edition, breathing experts Patrick McKeown (“THE BREATHING CURE: Develop New Habits for a Healthier, Happier, and Longer Life”) and James Nestor (“Breath: The New Science of a Lost Art”) approach the topic from diverse perspectives, but agree on a lot. Especially the benefits of nose breathing and the detriment of mouth breathing.
They explain the biochemical, biomechanics and psychological components of how you breathe. They also present exciting new research in pulmonology, psychology, biochemistry and human physiology that shows how making even slight adjustments to the way you inhale dramatically influences things like:
- sleep and snoring
- fitness and athletic performance
- brain function
- focus and concentration
- oxygen intake
- heart rate and blood pressure
- blood sugar
- internal organ function
- nervous system
- respiratory health
- asthma and allergies
- autoimmune disease
- sex
- female hormones
- pain
- stress and anxiety
That's just the start of what you can change when you change your breathing. Big claims, yes. All true. And even bigger benefits for you.
Breathing can nurture your body, center you, and rebalance you. When you start harnessing the power of your breath, you're going to feel incredibly better than you do right now.
