How we really should breathe with James Nestor

On average we breathe 25,000 times a day, and yet many of us are doing it completely wrong according to author and journalist, James Nestor.“The majority of the human population have respiratory problems, chronic sinusitis, sleep apnea, snoring, asthma… we have completely lost touch with our basic bodily function. We can still live by breathing poorly but that doesn’t mean that we are going to be healthy.”James has spent the last several years researching and writing the best seller Breath, a novel which explores the million-year-long history of how the human species has lost the ability to breathe properly resulting in so many maladies. He traveled the world in an attempt to figure out what went wrong and how to fix it, turning the conventional wisdom of what we thought we knew about our most basic biological function on its head.Needless to say ever since we recorded this episode we have been consciously breathing! Drawing awareness to how our breath changes from when we walk/run to when we sit to when we are on our laptops. We have been amazed with what we have found out. A fascinating conversation that will transform the way you breathe!Lots of Love,Dave & SteveTo find out more about James and his work visit his website: mrjamesnestor.comProduced by Sean Cahill and Sara Fawsitt Hosted on Acast.
