I'm eating too many ultra-processed foods.
I think that we have become habituated to
to eat in a certain way, to sit around in offices in a certain way, to sleep in a certain way.
None of the ways in which we do these things are healthy, but they are so common because our parents did it, and their grandparents did it, and our kids are doing it.
And breathing fits right into that.
Just because you're able to take an inhale and exhale doesn't mean you're doing it in an optimum way.
You could say someone who has emphysema, who can barely get a breath in, they're still breathing, but they're not breathing in an optimum way.
Not many of us are at that far end of the spectrum, but we're usually kind of right in the middle.
How many people do you know that snore or have sleep apnea or have asthma or that have difficulty exercising, who have chronic congestion?
I can go on and on and on, and it turns out that the majority of people are breathing dysfunctionally.
They don't realize it, and the sad thing is they don't realize that a lot of the downstream issues that they're having
be it headaches or back pain or ADHD symptoms, are tied to the ways in which they're breathing, and they're breathing in a very dysfunctional way.
This is breathing wrong.
Notice my posture.
Notice I'm breathing out of my mouth.
Notice my shoulders are down.
Now just imagine if you're breathing wrong this way.
Every breath I take can't really efficiently go into my lungs because I'm hunched over, right?
So it gets stuck in my throat, in my mouth, in the bronchi, all of these different areas that don't participate in gas exchange.
So what I'm doing is I'm just using energy to bring breath into my body and exhale it, but that breath isn't used.
