You will no longer be able to breathe as before! It doesn't matter what you eat or if you exercise. Your physique and intelligence level are irrelevant if you don't know how to breathe correctly. For health and well-being, there is nothing more important than breathing. It seems like a simple process: inhale-exhale, repeated 25 thousand times a day. But as a biological species, humans have lost the ability to breathe correctly, and this has detrimental consequences for us. Journalist James Nestor travels the world to find out what went wrong and how it can be corrected. He seeks answers not in pulmonology labs, but in dusty excavations of ancient burials, in secret Soviet research institutes, in choir groups in New Jersey, and in smog-filled streets of San Paulo. Nestor meets people who possess secret knowledge based on ancient breathing practices like pranayama, sudarshan kriya, and tummo, and together with them, he subjects established beliefs about breathing to scientific scrutiny. Modern research shows that even small changes we make in the inhalation or exhalation process can significantly improve athletic performance, rejuvenate internal organs, eliminate snoring, asthma, autoimmune diseases, and even straighten a scoliotic spine. Turning to ancient medical texts dating back thousands of years and the latest research in pulmonology, psychology, biochemistry, and human physiology overturns our conventional understanding of breathing as a basic biological function.
