Summary "No importa lo que comas ni cùnto ejercicio hagas. Tu salud depende esencialmente de la manera en que respiras. Y lo es̀ts haciendo mal. ¿Sa̕bas que de las 5.400 especies de ma̕mferos somos la nica que tiene los dientes torcidos? Hace 150 ąos el ser humano de̤j de masticar, y con ello no solo se inic̤i un proceso de deformac̤in de nuestras man̕dbulas, sino que empezamos a respirar por la boca en lugar de por la nariz. En este apasionante libro, que ya ha seducido a millones de lectores en todo el mundo, descubriremos que los humanos llevamos cerca de dos siglos involucionando y las graves consecuencias que ello tiene en nuestra salud ̕fsica y mental. Aprenderemos ̤cmo podemos revertir esta situac̤in y acabar para siempre con los problemas de suęo, ronquidos y dolor de espalda, reducir el estřs, disfrutar ̀ms del sexo y prevenir el envejecimiento." -- Back cover
"No matter what you eat, how much you exercise, how skinny or young or wise you are, none of it matters if you're not breathing properly. ... as a species, humans have lost the ability to breathe correctly, with grave consequences. Journalist James Nestor travels the world to figure out what went wrong and how to fix it. The answers are found in the muddy digs of ancient burial sites, secret Soviet facilities, New Jersey choir schools, and the smoggy streets of São Paulo. Nestor tracks down men and women exploring the hidden science behind ancient breathing practices like Pranayama, Sudarshan Kriya, and Tummo and teams up with pulmonary tinkerers to scientifically test long-held beliefs about how we breathe.... You will never breathe the same again." -- Cataloger's abridgment of a synopsis from goodreads.com
