My guest today is author and journalist James Nestor. He has written for Scientific American, Outside Magazine, The New York Times, The Atlantic, National Public Radio, Surfer’s Journal, The San Francisco Chronicle, and several other publications.
James believes that the world has lost the ability to breathe properly. After spending years in laboratories and ancient burial sites, working with researchers at Stanford, University of Pennsylvania, and other institutions to figure out what went wrong with our breathing, he’s learned how to fix it.
From his discovery, James has spent the last several years working on a book called Breath: The New Science of a Lost Art. It released on May 26, 2020, and was an instant New York Times, Wall Street Journal, and Los Angeles Times, Sunday London Times Top 10 bestseller.
Breath explores how the human species has lost the ability to breathe properly over the past several hundred thousand years and is now suffering from a laundry list of maladies - snoring, sleep apnea, asthma, autoimmune disease - because of it. James Nestor has traveled the world to figure out what went wrong and how to fix it, and today, he’s sharing that knowledge with you all!
If you’re ready to learn the secrets about proper breathing techniques and how breathing will change your life, join me on Episode 1,060!

I’m 75 years old, as a baby I developed asthma & ended up in intensive care numerous times. They discovered I had an allergy to house dust, so my parents ripped up all the carpet in the house. I continued to suffer from asthma. I was administered antibiotics, steroids etc to no avail. At age 10 a lung specialist, told my mother, all these medications, were not working & effecting my immune system. In those days there were no asthma puffers, ventolin. The specialist told my mum, get a dress makers tape measure, he had one & demonstrated how to use it. He said Put it around just below your diaphragm. Each day let out all the air in your lungs, then breath deep & low, do this as many times a day & keep measuring the increase in inches. It worked & I got rid of asthma. Cheers Nik. ❤️

@Fractal-of-Venus 3 года назад

I first learned to breathe correctly as a vocalist. Babies are born breathing with their diaphragm, but as we get older, we start breathing more shallow and by the time we are elders, we are only breathing through the top of our lungs. So learning to breathe through the stomach is very helpful, I noticed how comfortable it was and that I was getting much more oxygen that way. Then when I discovered yoga and meditation techniques, I noticed how much more calming it is to breathe deep, long, breaths through the nose. I breathe through my nose and stomach without even thinking about it anymore, but notice if I'm stressed, I have to get back into that way of breathing, to steady my thoughts and release whatever negativity I'm feeling, just through breathing correctly. It is highly effective.

@phil2bfree 3 года назад

@@user-bd4bo4tb8u There are many types of yoga breathing (pranayama) & ujayi is one of those types. However, the focus of ujayi is more on slightly constricting the throat, although all breathing involves the diaphragm. There are hundreds of youtube videos on ujayi.

I study foreign languages, I speak Italian, Romanian, English and French and I can tell you that doing pronunciation exercises in another language makes you exercise your throath and tongue since you have to get used to move your tongue differently to imitate the right sound

@amsedelm 3 года назад

I can vouch for the tongue exercises helping snoring. I'm a singing coach and I kept hearing my students say they got the best night of sleep ever after their first lesson. I've attributed it to the tongue exercises I gave them. When you strengthen your tongue it tightens up and doesn't collapse into your throat when u fall asleep. Snoring stops. Strong tongue, no snoring. It will change ur life

@investigate711 3 года назад

@thehumanpractice2985 3 года назад

i wanted to share my story in this video since it's such a comprehensive look at breathing. At 17 I had reactive arthritis. At 23 I had tuberculosis, and there wasn't a year where I didn't get sick. even four times or more during one year. it wasn't rare.. Now, I've been researching and practicing breathing techniques for 2 years. Pushing through anxiety and depression while doing it, it's hard to know if you're on the right path when there's no one beside you willing to understand the place where you are, where you want to be, why you want to walk that path. Thanks to It pushing through, though (and this is how I know I've made progress), I've been able to get in touch with several areas of my body affected by trauma early in my childhood (Physical, sexual, and emotional abuse, and 1 major injury, 1 surgery, and 2 minor injuries). It's hard because it's so much stuff to work through. Unevenness in posture; tightness in muscles and tendons; abdominal, diaphragmatic, and spinal miscoordination. Some areas of my spine remain inactive, cause nervous aerophagia, shallow breathing, thoracic mobility issues, and whatnot... But breathing.... breathing has been a medicine for it all. Physical, psychological, emotional level.... the spirit, you might say, want to wake up. Thanks for sharing this.

@anonutzo1199 3 года назад

thats pretttyimpressive, when you say medicine, do you mean for pain?

@thehumanpractice2985 3 года назад

@@anonutzo1199 Yeah, and besides that.. just feeling good in general. I've discovered that to feel pain is normal, sometimes it's better to avoid it, sometimes it's better to give in and work through it. It depends. For example, if I'm feeling pain on a bone (usually I feel it sometimes in my shin), it's probably due to pressure, and I distribute weight somewhere else to avoid it. In the other hand, sometimes I feel pain on the ball of my right foot just below what would be the thumb toe, and I press harder on that and distribute the weight on the rest of the foot, because I know it's because it's been overall-y inactive and that's what that pain is telling me. Right now I have a headache, and If I breathe shallowly, 'it goes away', but at the cost of my posture, and I know it's still there, but I'm just making myself numb to it. Instead, I'm breathing deeply and I'm feeling how tension comes and goes exactly behind my eyes and left ear (this also has connections to the rest of my body, but I'll just focus on that), but by feeling that tension I feel how the headache is slowly going away, and actually improving on my posture too. Instead of making myself numb to it, I work through it.

“Use it or Loose it!” It feels good to breathe deep in through my nose. It feels like the oxygen is going directly to my brain. In Ballet Class we have to close our mouth to breathe which also helps to avoid getting thirsty. In my 1969 Jr. High Health Class the teacher instructed us to also exhale all the way and push out the “bottom junk” at the bottom of the lungs periodically to “clean out”.

I am 31 and have been practicing proper tongue posture for about six months. It has made a difference in my jaw and my teeth were sore initially just as when I had braces. In my experience it is still beneficial for adults to make this correction and may even produce results in your facial structure. I always felt like my tongue was in the way and almost like I was being suffocated by it. Ive had surgeries on my nose to help my breathing but it wasnt a permanent solution. If you can commit to the awareness and pain of shifting into proper tongue posture it is completely worth the freedom of truly breathing.

I was taught to breathe through my nose from a young age. from school and family. It is common sense. the nose is a filter against everything that is in the air especially with the current pollution. Also in the winter, doesn't matter if my nostrils were sticking together from frost, I had to breathe through my nose if I don't want to get bronchitis.

People often tell me ''You have a beautiful voice,'' and ''Your dogs are happy when you sing.'' That is dating back to 2012 when they both entered mine and my son's life. So, then, i arrive back home and one of my new fave Buddhist songs.. in further mentioned here and i am now, really humm'n. Thank you for the 'science behind' so much of what i innately felt to be true . And, a i continue to put into practice what my training and certifications have been teaching me since i was 22 and prior so on my own accord, i salute you both with a long, slow, deep intake and beautiful blessed exhale. whew. Wowwwww!

To me the big takeaway was to remember to breath through the nose when wearing mask.

I sussed this breathing problem many years ago. I was working with photocopiers for years, the fumes were the reason why I began to shallow breathe, it brought on dizzy spells, tight chest and headaches. I had gone to the state where I didn't breathe properly. Also with the elderly in 'Homes' sitting all day half asleep, and not breathing properly. That is why they become ill.

Generally I've been a conscious nose breather for about 15 yrs and its actually really easy to condition yourself to do it automatically, even when in conversation. I used to suffer with bronchial and chest related conditions frequently , particularly when it was cold and damp or humid and I had regular infections. I did my own research after being given an inhaler, thankfully I never needed to use the inhaler as consciously breathing through my nose completely eliminated all the infections that I was getting and I haven't had a single one since. When he mentioned about increasing the exhale as one of his general tips I knew he was really worth listening to. Ever had the feeling that you cant quite get a full breath into the lungs? Exhale fully .. literally when you think the breath is all gone do a snake like hiss until it really has all gone and on the next inhale you'll enjoy what will feel like a full lung of air, it'll feel amazing and the more you practice it the more you'll notice the lung capacity increase. Learn how to engage the diaphragm muscles through both inhale and exhale and you'll literally energise yourself through proper breathwork. Similar to any exercise, you need to let the diaphragm go through the full range of motion for it to become stronger and more effective.

@grahamlyons8522 3 года назад

When the jogging craze began some 50 years ago I read that to get fitter safely,* breathe only through your nose when exercising, because your body will immediately tell you when to take a 'breather'. I didn't follow that advice but now I'm 84, I will. *I know of two people who died of heart attacks overdoing it.
