By breathing in this slow way, we can reconnect those emotional centers, the hippocampus amygdala, with that frontal cortex and allow ourselves to make more reasoned decisions instead of these rash, irate, angry emotional outbursts.
Have you ever considered that the way you breathe could transform your health? In this enlightening episode of 'The One You Feed', host Eric Zimmer chats with James Nestor, the acclaimed author of 'Breath: The New Science of a Lost Art'. Nestor dives deep into the often-overlooked science of breathing, revealing how something as simple as switching from mouth to nasal breathing can bring about remarkable health benefits.
From reducing high blood pressure and sleep apnea to improving overall physical and mental well-being, Nestor breaks down the crucial role of CO2 and nitric oxide in our breathing process. He also shares his eye-opening experience of a study where he only breathed through his mouth for ten days, highlighting the detrimental effects it had on his health. This episode is packed with practical breathing techniques and insights into the future of breathing research.
Perfect for anyone looking to enhance their well-being through the power of breath, this conversation promises to leave you with a new appreciation for something you do every day.
