So we are requiring our bodies to do so much more to get so much less.
And that is dysfunctional breathing.
So over millions of years, the human body developed and evolved to be in an environment in which we were moving.
In which we were gathering food all day, in which we were outside and not inside.
So all of these changes to our skeleture, musculature, everything happened over a very long time to accommodate that environment.
That's why we're around today, because we were able to adapt.
In the past few hundred years, we've gone from that to spending 90% of our time indoors and almost all of that for many people in chairs.
So our bodies have not been able to adapt to this sudden shift of
of our environment.
You can ask any chiropractor, physio, whoever you wanna talk to, what this has done to our backs, what this has done to our eyesight.
90% of kids now in some countries have myopia.
That didn't suddenly happen randomly.
That happened as a result of this mismatch between how their bodies were evolved to one environment and why their bodies are now stuck in another environment.
So that has also affected our breathing.
where we sit around all day long in many of us in chairs that are not ergonomical, right?
And we are forced to hunch over like this all day long.
So you can get by breathing this way, right?
You can stay alive just like you can get by eating 10 donuts a day.
You probably have enough calories.
You could buy for a few years doing that.
