Nose breathing science vs. snake oil


Listen Later

“Nasal breathing” and other breathing techniques have become a massively hyped topic in health and fitness.

Proponents say nasal breathing can boost heart health, fitness performance, sleep, and immunity while also reducing our reduce stress—and much more.

These people even say you’re breathing “wrong” if you breathe through your mouth.

We spoke to scientists and read the research to separate what’s helpful from what’s hype in the breathing world.

The result: A no-BS guide to breathing. It’ll help you focus your time and energy on what actually works so you can improve your health and fitness in less time.

You’ll learn:

* Why humans are unique in how we breathe through our nose.

* How breathing through your nose versus your mouth impacts your health and performance.

* Where we tipped into insanity around nasal breathing.

* How to use nasal breathing in three exercise scenarios: during strength, interval, or cardio workouts.

* On Wednesday, we have a super helpful post explaining how I use this information in my own life (my favorite breathing trick).
