OXYGEN & BREATHWORK

You Have Forgotten How to Breathe. It Is Killing You.

The vast majority of modern humans chronically over-breathe — a pattern that paradoxically reduces cellular oxygen delivery by suppressing the Bohr Effect, the mechanism by which CO2 enables haemoglobin to release oxygen into tissues. The Buteyko method and other functional breathing approaches address this hidden epidemic of dysfunctional breathing that drives anxiety, sleep apnoea, poor athletic performance, chronic fatigue, and cardiovascular disease. Nasal breathing — stimulating nitric oxide production in the sinuses — is demonstrably superior to mouth breathing for every aspect of human physiology.
