#S06 Special Episode - An In Depth Look on Breathing Physiology: Part 2 with Helene Cousin & Dominique Alfandari

The goal of the “In-Depth Look” series of videos is to explore these subjects in more detail — examining the relevance, efficacy, and methods of incorporating these work and life experiences into budo practice, budo teaching, and community building. This episode is Part 2 of our discussion with Dr. Cousin and Dr. Alfandari, as we continue to explore the physiological mechanics of breathing. Helene Cousin, Ph.D and Dominique Alfandari, Ph.D both teach and conduct research at the University of Massachusetts, Amherst in the Department of Veterinary & Animal Sciences.  QUESTIONS COVERED: 1) What is the role of nose breathing when it comes to humidification, filtration, and warmth? 2) Is there an optimal timing for the length of inhale and exhale when breathing? 3) How does breathing impact weight gain and weight loss? 4) What is the nitric oxide impact on intubated people compared to healthy individuals? 5) How are plants and animals linked in a closed loop through breath?
