The Breathing Expert: Breathing Through Your Mouth Can Cause ADHD, Diabetes & Child Sickness! (Must Listen): James Nestor
The Diary Of A CEO with Steven Bartlett
Proper posture is necessary for optimised breathing
The diaphragm, a muscle located underneath the lungs, is responsible for breathing by creating a vacuum that allows air to enter the lungs and pushing air out when exhaling. Sitting for extended periods in a slouched position inhibits the movement of the diaphragm, leading to shallow chest breathing instead of utilizing the full capacity of the lungs. This results in the need to take more breaths to compensate for the limited oxygen absorption. Proper posture, seen in indigenous cultures and ancient statues, with a straight but relaxed spine, promotes optimal breathing. Stress further hampers proper breathing. Therefore, being mindful of sitting posture and managing stress are crucial for optimized breathing.
