How Changing How Your Breathe Can Change Your Life - James Nestor - The Genius Life Podcast

James Nestor is a journalist and bestselling author of Deep: Freediving, Renegade Science, and What the Ocean Tells Us About Ourselves. His latest book, Breath: The New Science of a Lost Art, 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.
What you'll learn from this episode:
The many research-backed benefits of nasal breathing over the habitual mouth breathing practiced by a staggering 25 to 50 percent of the population.
How nasal breathing gives us a sixfold increase in nitric oxide, a crucial component to our cardiovascular, neurological, and sexual well-being—and humming increases it by 15 times!
Why taping your mouth shut before bedtime might sound like something a serial killer would do, but it can help ensure you're reaping the benefits of nasal breathing while you sleep (unlike possibly 70 percent of the population).
The surprising quickness with which the body responds to a change from mouth breathing to nasal breathing (and vice versa).
Why, if you have a deviated septum (along with 75 percent of the population), you should see what changes can be made by practicing nasal breathing before taking more extreme measures like septoplasty.
And much more!
