What is overbreathing?
You’ll be familiar with the problem of overbreating but few people know about overbreathing. Nine out of ten people are thought to overbreathe. Surely, the more oxygen you get the better? Well, not quite. Overbreathing actually reduces the oxygen supply to your brain. Just one minute of overbreathing triggers up to a 40 per cent loss of oxygen to your brain.
Why is overbreathing harmful?
Over 30 years of medical research shows the link between overbreathing and a host of medical symptoms, such as: sleepless nights, tension headaches, palpitations, hypertension, irritable bowel syndrome, muscle pains, fatigue, sleep apnea, asthma, breathlessness, chest pain, sexual dysfunction, allergic responses, and anxiety.
Overbreathing can make you so nervous that you flunk out at public speaking, romantic encounters, interviews, artistic performances, social events, competitive sports events or exams.
