Frank & Luke: Mind.Body.Soul

Episode 9: The Power of Breath.

A human can survive with no food for months/years, with no water for days/weeks but with no breath for only minutes! We all know the importance of eating healthy and staying hydrated BUT are you aware of the significant health benefits provided by breathing correctly? 

Are you a nasal breather or a mouth breather? Do you breathe with your belly or your chest? Are you over-breathing (breathing too much)? Your answers to these 3 questions may be one of the biggest indicators of your physical and mental health.

Breathing correctly results in many proven benefits such as reduced stress and anxiety, improved focus, better sleep, increased energy, improved immune function, increased athletic performance, improved digestion, weight loss and lower blood pressure. 

In this episode we summarise our extensive study of this topic to provide you with the most important information and our top tips to unlock the power of the breath!
