Dr. Artour Rakhimov joined us today to talk about how breathing affects our health, our energy levels, our hormones and the ability to prevent disease.

It’s really interesting because sometimes the easiest and most simply things are the very things we ignore when it comes to our health. Oftentimes we’re concerned with getting medicinal mushrooms, doing high dose vitamin c or sitting FAR Infrared saunas.

But the most important things are the very things we overlook like getting a good sleep, eating whole fresh food, drinking enough water, breathing correctly and moving our body in the right way.

Being healthy and living an optimized life is really simple but we need to get back to basics.

What I love about Dr. Artour Rakhimov is that his work is essentially free. You can learn all of this wonderful information about breathing online and start to adapt it to your own life.

And the coolest thing is that once you retrain your body how to breathe properly, you can reap the benefits of it for the rest of your life without even trying.

For those that don’t know Dr. Artour Rakhimov is the author of such books as Breathing Slower and Less, Amazing DIY Breathing Device, Advanced Buteyko Breathing Exercises, Sleep Better and Less – Naturally and Crohn’s Disease and Colitis: Hidden Triggers and Symptoms.

We talked a lot about the Buteyko breathing technique which allows less air to come into the lungs but more oxygen. So it’s a slower breath where the oxygen penetrates deeper into the lungs but it’s not a deep breath in the chest. It’s a way of breathing deeply into your diaphragm but not necessarily breathing in lots of air.

During the show I mentioned Rickson Gracie doing pranayama breathing as seen below. Just fast forward until 2:57 seconds to see it. 🙂

It’s a very interesting concept.
