Carl Stough was a choral teacher who developed breathing techniques to help singers sing better. His therapies, it turned out, were even more effective for emphysemics. He healed thousands of them of "incurable" emphysema. #breathwork #breath #breathing #riverheadbooks

Almost every skull pre-1500s had straight teeth, huge jaws, and wide sinuses. Meanwhile, modern skulls (+/- 90%, which means you, me, and almost every you know) have mouths so small that teeth no longer fit: they grow in crooked. Small mouth/sinuses=less room to breathe. #breath

“More than sixty years of research on living systems has convinced me that our body is much more nearly perfect than the endless list of ailments suggests. Its shortcomings are due less to its inborn imperfections than to our abusing it.” Albert Szent-Györgyi, 1937 Nobel winner

Breath: The New Science of a Lost Art (Riverhead | Penguin Random House) released today--at long, bloody last. It's a surreal thing to work four years on something that ends up being 17 ounces of wood pulp and ink. But I loved the respiratorical ride: mrjamesnestor.com/breath

Friends: I'll be on Fresh Air with Terry Gross today talking about things Breath. And, yes, she's really as insanely pleasant and cool as she sounds. For Friscaniscos, that's 1pm on KQED (for others, that's other times on other NPR affiliates). #breath #lostart #riverheadbooks

Breath releases across the pond today in the United Kingdom today. At 8:30am London Time, I'll be on the Chris Evans Breakfast Show (which will be a midnight snack for me here in Pacific Time, which is also why I'm up at this ungodly hour). #lostart #breath #breathwork

Breathing through the nose has innumerable benefits: more oxygen, lowers heart rate, protects us from pathogens. But should we *exhale* through the nose as well? I've been asked this question loads since the release of Breath. (Answer: YES!) youtu.be/PhYt2P80BSA

More babies are being born without wisdom teeth and with much less powerful jaws amidst the “fastest rate of evolution” recorded in the past 250 years. Sounds more like Lieberman's term (Harvard) "dysevolution" to me. In other words, we're hosed. independent.co.uk/news/science/w…
