SARAH VINE reveals how breathing techniques pushed her through a difficult divorce
Daily MailWhat’s the one thing none of us can live without, not even for the shortest time? I think this was one of the reasons I was drawn to James Nestor’s book Breath: The New Science Of A Lost Art. ‘Mouth-breathing’, as he calls it, can even alter our physical appearance, causing dark shadows under the eyes, an elongated long face, a high narrow palate, gum disease and tooth decay. There’s much more to the book than that, of course — and I really do recommend it as an absolutely fascinating read, full of tantalising little nuggets of science and astonishing facts. Sarah added that James Nestor talks about how the strains of modern life can cause a form of stress apnoea; and how our habit of breathing through our mouths rather than our noses is contributing to so many of the modern ailments that plague us It’s as though there’s something pressing down on my solar plexus, a sense that the breath is being squeezed out of me.
