«Si respiras, necesitas leer este libro.» Wallace Nichols «Un libro transformador que va a cambiar completamente la manera en la que pensamos en nuestro cuerpo y nuestra mente.» Joshua Foer ¿Sabías que de las 5.400 especies de mamíferos somos la única que tiene los dientes torcidos? Hace 150 años el ser humano dejó de masticar, y con ello no solo se inició un proceso de deformación de nuestras mandíbulas, sino que empezamos a respirar por la boca en lugar de por la nariz. En este apasionante libro, que ya ha seducido a millones de lectores en todo el mundo, descubriremos que los humanos llevamos cerca de dos siglos involucionando y las graves consecuencias que ello tiene en nuestra salud física y mental. Aprenderemos cómo podemos revertir esta situación y acabar para siempre con los problemas de sueño, ronquidos y dolor de espalda, reducir el estrés, disfrutar más del sexo y prevenir el envejecimiento. No importa lo que comas ni cuánto ejercicio hagas; da igual que seas joven, fuerte e inteligente. Tu salud depende esencialmente de la manera en que respiras. Y lo estás haciendo mal. No importa lo que comas ni cuánto ejercicio hagas. Tu salud depende esencialmente de la manera en que respiras. Y lo estás haciendo mal.

THE PHENOMENAL INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER AS HEARD ON STEVEN BARTLETT'S 'DIARY OF A CEO' 'Who would have thought something as simple as changing the way we breathe could be so revolutionary for our health, from snoring to allergies to immunity? A fascinating book, full of dazzling revelations' Dr Rangan Chatterjee There is nothing more essential to our health and wellbeing than breathing: take air in, let it out, repeat 25,000 times a day. Yet, as a species, humans have lost the ability to breathe correctly, with grave consequences. In Breath, journalist James Nestor travels the world to discover the hidden science behind ancient breathing practices to figure out what went wrong and how to fix it. Modern research is showing us that making even slight adjustments to the way we inhale and exhale can: - improve our exercise techniques - restore healthy sleep patterns and minimise snoring - halt allergies, asthma and even autoimmune disease Drawing on thousands of years of ancient wisdom and cutting-edge studies, Breath is full of revelations, turning what we thought we knew about our most basic biological function on its head. You will never breathe the same again.
Summary and Analysis of Breath
The New Science Of A Lost Art
A New York Times Bestseller A Washington Post Notable Nonfiction Book of 2020 "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 S�o 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.
