Download or read book Breath written by James Nestor and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2020-05-26 with total page 306 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A New York Times Bestseller A Washington Post Notable Nonfiction Book of 2020 Named a Best Book of 2020 by NPR “A fascinating scientific, cultural, spiritual and evolutionary history of the way humans breathe—and how we’ve all been doing it wrong for a long, long time.” —Elizabeth Gilbert, author of Big Magic and Eat Pray Love No matter what you eat, how much you exercise, how skinny or young or wise you are, none of it matters if you’re not breathing properly. There is nothing more essential to our health and well-being than breathing: take air in, let it out, repeat twenty-five thousand times a day. Yet, as a species, humans have lost the ability to breathe correctly, with grave consequences. Journalist James Nestor travels the world to figure out what went wrong and how to fix it. The answers aren’t found in pulmonology labs, as we might expect, but in the muddy digs of ancient burial sites, secret Soviet facilities, New Jersey choir schools, and the smoggy streets of São Paulo. Nestor tracks down men and women exploring the hidden science behind ancient breathing practices like Pranayama, Sudarshan Kriya, and Tummo and teams up with pulmonary tinkerers to scientifically test long-held beliefs about how we breathe. Modern research is showing us that making even slight adjustments to the way we inhale and exhale can jump-start athletic performance; rejuvenate internal organs; halt snoring, asthma, and autoimmune disease; and even straighten scoliotic spines. None of this should be possible, and yet it is. Drawing on thousands of years of medical texts and recent cutting-edge studies in pulmonology, psychology, biochemistry, and human physiology, Breath turns the conventional wisdom of what we thought we knew about our most basic biological function on its head. You will never breathe the same again.

Download or read book Breathe written by Belisa Vranich and published by St. Martin's Griffin. This book was released on 2016-12-27 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Insomnia? Gone. Anxiety? Gone. All without medication. Unpleasant side effects from blood pressure pills? Gone. A cheap and effective way to combat cardiovascular disease, immune dysfunction, obesity, and GI disorders? Yes. Sounds too good to be true? Believe it. Contemporary science confirms what generations of healers have observed through centuries of practice: Breath awareness can turn on the body’s natural abilities to prevent and cure illness. The mental and physical stresses of modern life, such as anxiety, frustration, sexual dysfunction, insomnia, high blood pressure, digestive woes, and immune dysfunction can all be addressed through conscious control of your breath. In addition, it can increase energy, accelerate healing, improve cognitive skills, and enhance mental balance. Yet most of us stopped breathing in the anatomically “right” way, the way to take advantage of these benefits, when we were four or five years old. We now mostly breathe in a way that is anatomically incongruous and makes for more illness. Dr. Vranich shows readers how to turn back the tide of stress and illness, and improve the overall quality of their life through a daily breathing workout. In a fascinating, straightforward, jargon-free exploration of how our bodies were meant to breathe, Dr. Belisa Vranich delves into the ins and outs of proper breathing. By combining both anatomy and fitness with psychology and mindfulness, Dr. Vranich gives readers a way of solving health problems at the crux and healing themselves from the inside out. BREATHE is an easy-to-follow guide to breathing exercises that will increase energy, help lose weight, and make readers feel calmer and happier.

Download or read book Relief from Snoring and Sleep Apnea written by Tess Graham and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2014-08-28 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A simple breakthrough approach to getting silent restful sleep and increasing your health and energy. With a foreword by eminent cardiologist and bestselling author, Dr Ross Walker.The secret to getting relief from snoring and sleep apnea, more oxygen to every cell in your body and increasing your energy, lies in getting your breathing right. Breathing is the most basic and most overlooked function of your body. People who snore and have sleep apnea do not breathe correctly. No exceptions. Research shows they 'over-breathe' - breathe 2-3 times more air per minute than is normal, both when AWAKE and ASLEEP. Rapid inhalation during sleep, when the throat muscles are relaxed, causes vibration and turbulence in the throat (snoring), and may create a suction effect on the throat sufficient to obstruct breathing. This does not happen when breathing correctly - slowly and gently, in and out your nose, all day and all night. Unfortunately, checking someone's habitual breathing pattern is not part of standard medical diagnosis, so chronic over-breathing is rarely identified.This book, written by a highly qualified and experienced physiotherapist, outlines a simple, rational explanation for what is making you snore and have sleep apnea, shows you how to identify what faulty breathing patterns you have and teaches you how to change them, step-by-step, to a more normal breathing pattern. It is scientifically proven that you can 'retrain' your breathing. The first improvements are generally seen within hours. It is common for people to sleep better right from the first night.YOU CAN CHANGE THE WAY YOU BREATHE.The author, Tess Graham, has over 30 years' clinical experience in physiotherapy, with 23 years working exclusively with breathing-related disorders. She has helped thousands of sufferers of sleep-breathing disorders, many of whom had struggled to adjust to CPAP machines. Tess has been involved in medical research and is one of the few people directly accredited by the late Professor K.P. Buteyko in his method of breathing retraining. The approach she has developed is quick, gentle, highly effective and easily do-able for busy people, the highly anxious and stressed.The book contains case studies, including with pre-and post-breathing retraining sleep studies, showing the effectiveness of the breathing retraining approach with snoring and serious sleep apnea. You will find the information in this book inspiring, compelling and life changing. Visit TessGraham.com.au or BreatheAbility.com for more information including audio products.

Thorough translation charts—which provide pose names in Sanskrit script along with transliterations in Sanskrit and English—help practitioners gain an understanding of the relationship between the name and the spiritual significance of each pose. The energetic essence of each asana is unveiled through a detailed chakra chart and graphic indicators depicting the chakras activated by that pose.

Download or read book NO More Heart Disease written by Louis Ignarro and published by St. Martin's Press. This book was released on 2006-01-24 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dr. Louis Ignarro discovered "the atom" of cardiovascular health--a tiny molecule called Nitric Oxide. NO, as it is known by chemists, is a signaling molecule produced by the body, and is a vasodilator that helps control blood flow to every part of the body. Dr. Ignarro's findings led to the development of Viagra. Nitric Oxide has a beneficial effect on the cardiovascular system as well. NO relaxes and enlarges the blood vessels, prevents blood clots that trigger strokes and heart attacks, and regulates blood pressure and the accumulation of plaque in the blood vessels. Dr. Ignarro's current research indicates that Nitric Oxide may help lower cholesterol by facilitating the actions of statin drugs like Lipitor. The goal of the regimen presented in NO More Heart Disease is to age proof the cardiovascular system, keeping the vascular network clean and elastic through enhanced NO productivity. The plan is easy-to-follow without extreme lifestyle adjustments, involving taking supplements to stimulate Nitric Oxide production, incorporating NO friendly food into the diet, and a moderate exercise program.
