Here are 5 of my favorite Big Ideas from Breath by James Nestor. Hope you enjoy! Breath. It's the missing pillar in health. We've been talking about this for years and we've included breathing among our fundamentals since I first read Patrick McKeown's The Oxygen Advantage. And, I just LOVE the way James captures the importance of breathing in this book. The first words on the inside flap of the book deliver the point with a sledgehammer: "No matter what you eat, how much you exercise, how skinny or young or strong you are, none of it matters if you're not breathing properly." Big Ideas we explore include how to breathe optimally and why it's so important, the #1 tip, oral posture (how's yours?) and the perfect breath (think 5.5 + 5.5 for 5.5!).
