here's why
Do any of these apply to you?
Every single cell in your body requires oxygen to function. Without enough oxygen, cells can’t perform their duties optimally- they’re constantly struggling to find the oxygen fuel to survive.
We think that breathing is automatic and flawless; that we’re either breathing or not. But, it’s not binary – it's how we breathe that impacts our health. The muscles we use, the depth of each inhale, and the rhythm of our breaths all influence whether our breathing helps or hinders our health.
Your breath is the gear shift directing your nervous system. Deep, slower breathing activates the parasympathetic, "rest and digest" system, promoting relaxation, lowering heart rate, and helping your body recover. 80% of adults are dysfunctional breathers with fast, shallow breathing, triggering a chronic feedback loop between breathing and feelings of anxiety.
Our diaphragm is a large, pizza sized muscle spanning the circumference of our entire abdomen. It sits below our lungs, above our digestive organs, and attaches to our spine- influencing all of these systems and more. If we do not use our diaphragm to breathe, the intersecting bodily structures do not function optimally.
Our nose filters, warms, and humidifies air, enhancing blood oxygenation. Chronic mouth breathing blocks the nose, dries the mouth causing bad breath, disrupts facial development in children, and contributes to poor cognition, snoring, sleep apnea, and even increased blood pressure.
