1 小时 4 分钟A large percentage of the population, I would beg to say half of it or more, has problems breathing through their nose.
We've lost this ability.
Some of it's due to evolution and some of it's due to the environment.
But I think one of the most important health hacks that everyone should do all the time is breathe through your nose.
And the science certainly backs that up.
Okay, the last time I checked, we all breathe.
It just happens.
But what if the way you breathe made a massive difference in everything from your risk of debilitating illness to your depth and quality of sleep and energy and creativity and performance?
Well, it turns out it does.
Breathing is maybe the single most effective and accessible switch we can throw to radically transform and take control of the way we feel and live.
And by the way, when we leave it to chance, as most of us do, our breathing often defaults into a mode that sends us spiraling into poorer physical and mental health and underperformance in all parts of life.
Which is why I was so excited to sit down with James Nestor for this best of conversation.
So James is a science writer who has written for outside Scientific American, the Atlantic, dwell, New York Times, and so many others.
His award winning book deep freediving renegade science and what the ocean tells us about ourselves, it was a revelation, and in no small part kicked off this science writer's fascination with breath that led to a years long immersive quest to understand this often ignored key to both human potential and all forms of peril.
And it led to his blockbuster book, breathing the new science of a lost Art, which is a myth busting and paradigm shifting.
Look at how we breathe and what it does to us and how to harness breathing to transform our health and lives.
So excited to share this best of conversation with you.
I'm Jonathan Fields, and this is good life project.
It sounds like the common theme in your life really has been a fierce obsession with kind of two things, how things work and also the water.
Just a lifelong attraction to the water.
