A short YouTube interview (James Laughlin with a guest) highlighting the health consequences of poor breathing technique. The speakers claim chronic respiratory problems (anxiety, panic, asthma, snoring, sleep apnea) are widespread and note that three of the top ten global killers are respiratory-related; they emphasize breathing declines in midlife and the wear it causes on the body.
What are the costs or the consequences of neglecting a healthy breathing technique?
Well, just look around, right? How many people have anxiety? How many people have panic? How many people have asthma? How many people snore, have sleep apnea? I mean, these chronic respiratory conditions are just all over the planet right now. And in the top 10 killers in the world, the top 10 things that take the most lives, three of them are respiratory oriented. So we have to start paying attention to how we breathe. And this is especially important once we get into midlife and older age, because our breathing really takes a hit. If your breathing takes a hit, it's going to be a struggle. And if you're struggling all day to do anything, it's going to wear your body down. That's exactly what's happened to so many of us.
