Transform Your Health: The Power of Nasal Breathing

This episode discusses the common issue of incorrect breathing techniques and emphasizes the importance of nasal breathing for overall health. We explore how mouth breathing can impede healing by signaling stress to the body, while nasal breathing helps achieve a parasympathetic state necessary for healing. Practical advice, such as mouth taping during sleep and being mindful of breathing patterns, is covered. Additionally, the episode highlights the concept of resonance breathing—breathing at a rhythm of 0.1 Hertz (five-second inhales and exhales)—and its impact on physiological regulation, including blood pressure, heart rate variability, and brain function.
