The Breathing Expert: Mouth Breathing Linked To ADHD, Diabetes & Child Sickness!

Indoor Air

The quality of indoor air significantly affects our cognitive performance and overall health. James Nestor highlights the dangers of high CO2 levels in enclosed spaces, which can lead to decreased cognitive function and physical health issues 1. He shares alarming statistics, noting that CO2 levels above 800 parts per million can cause a 20% decline in test results, while levels above 1000 can lead to eye irritation and sore throats 2.

There are over 18 studies that show levels over 800 into 1000 can potentially cause problems with bone, demineralization, kidney calcification and chronic inflammation.

Steven Bartlett reflects on the impact of recycled air in his studio, questioning how improved ventilation could enhance cognitive performance 3.

   

Lifestyle Impact

Modern lifestyle factors, such as posture and diet, have a profound impact on our breathing efficiency and health. James Nestor explains how sitting for extended periods inhibits proper diaphragmatic breathing, leading to shallow chest breathing and reduced oxygen intake 4. This improper breathing can contribute to various health issues, including metabolic and autoimmune disorders 5.

If you are not breathing right, you will always be sick.

He emphasizes that our modern environment, with its pollution and sedentary habits, conspires against our natural ability to breathe efficiently, leading to widespread health problems 5.
