On today’s Broken Brain Podcast, our host Dhru talks to James Nestor, an author and journalist who has written for Scientific American, Outside, The New York Times, and more. His latest book, Breath: The New Science of a Lost Art, explores how the human species has lost the ability to breathe properly—and how to get it back. James has appeared on dozens of national television shows, including ABC’s Nightline and CBS’s Morning News, and on NPR. In this episode, Dhru and James talk about how breathing isn’t just a biological function that we depend on to survive. It’s also a very useful tool for healing the body and focusing the mind. They discuss the problems associated with mouth breathing and how it can cause neurological issues, respiratory issues, high blood pressure and more. James also shares how he enlisted in a Stanford University experiment to have his nasal cavities plugged, and was forced to breathe only through his mouth in an effort to test how the pathways through whi...

We do it as long as we live but mostly aren't aware of it: breathing. In his talk Lucas breaks down the fundamentals of yoga breathing in a way that you can easily remember and apply to your practice.

Thanks to Oxygen Advantage Blog in South Africa Hemoglobin carries Oxygen Breathing correctly is important to the oxygen (O2) transfer from our blood to our muscles and organs. Hemoglobin is the protein molecule in red blood cells that carries oxygen from the lungs to the body’s tissues and returns carbon dioxide from the tissues back to the lungs The air we breathe contains 21% oxygen. The O2 saturation (SpO2) in the blood of a healthy individual, which is the % of the hemoglobin that is carrying O2, is between 95 and 99%. Of importance to athletes and active individuals, is how the oxygen attaches and detaches itself from the hemoglobin that is transporting it through the body as we exercise. Endurance athletes rely heavily on oxygen to release the energy of the fat reserves in the body and therefore the more efficient the O2 transfer to the muscle, the better the athlete can harness that energy. During inhalation, the O2 molecule attaches itself to the hemoglobin ...
