Science of Breathing

[David Dalton]

From CBC Radio One’s The Sunday Magazine with host
Piya Chattopadhyay, the January 17, 2021 edition:

"The lost science and art of breathing rediscovered: We do it 25,000
times a day … and barely even think about it. But there's a lost
science and art to breathing, and rediscovering it can do wonders
for your physical health, and overall well-being. That's what
journalist James Nestor discovered in his deep dive into the
science and history of breathing. He talks to Chattopadhyay all
about breathing and shares some simple ways to improveyours
— a subject that's become even more relevant in the age of COVID-19."

Evidently Nestor’s and others’ research confirms some ancient
lore from yoga and Taoism and other sources. His main
points were to breathe through the nose and not the mouth
(except in the case of certain exercises) and to avoid overbreathing.
Nestor’s latest book is entitled Breath: The New Science of a Lost Art.

When I was standing and listening to the program, I thought
that I am doing fine, I almost always breathe through my nose,
but then a few minutes ago I noticed I was hunching a bit
on this computer chair and breathing shallowly through
my mouth, so I will have to watch myself.

I think by overbreathing he means breathing too rapidly,
not too deeply.

Also I think he said that some people, while they breathe through
their nose when they are awake, they have the bad habit of
breathing through their mouth while they are asleep, and
that can lead to health problems.

He did a test where he and others plugged their noses for
I think ten days and it led to all sorts of health problems.

If you get out and walk briskly for an hour every day you will get all
the proper breathing you need. None of this pop medicine matters.
"Journalists" and "researchers" told us lies like "eggs are bad" and
"butter is bad" and "fat is bad" and it all turned out to be bogus.

They told us to give up butter and eat vegetable soap (margarine).

Cutting fat and micronutrients out of your diet is a sure way to chronic
health in later years. Failing to exercise is the real breathing
problem. I don't expect much from "journalists" and "researchers." I
wish they would actually work for a living instead of pretending they
are swamis or oracles of wisdom.

Journalists are trash but consciously breathing from the belly instead of
the hollow top of the chest breathing most people do unconsciously does
help with digestion, increasing the peristaltic motion, as well as helping
with blood and lymphatic circulation. In general I agree though, a bit of
walking is great.
