Breath. It is the missing pillar of health. No matter what we eat, how much we exercise, how strong we are, none of it matters if you’re not breathing properly. Lung capacity is one of the greatest predictors of longevity and can be developed through proper breathing.
90% of us are breathing incorrectly and this is potentially causing or aggravating modern diseases. Breathing allows us to hack into our own nervous system, control our immune response and restore our health.
Optimal breathing isn’t about oxygen per se. All healthy bodies are properly saturated with more than enough oxygen. It’s about carbon dioxide that needs to be present to push the oxygen out of the haemoglobin into the cells that need it.
