Breathing patterns are the product of our lifestyle. When the lifestyle becomes unnatural, breathing patterns change. As a result, most modern people over-breathe. Hyperventilation<\/a> becomes a major risk factor for asthma<\/a> and any breathing difficulty, anxiety<\/a>, enlarged adenoids<\/a>, polyps, allergies, hypertension, heart diseases, chronic fatigue, and many other health issues<\/a>.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

This discovery was made sixty years ago by a renowned Russian scientist K.P. Buteyko M.D<\/a>. He realized that breathing affects health more than eating and drinking. Why? Without food, we can survive for weeks, without water \u2013 for days, without air \u2013 only a few minutes. Air is as powerful as nuclear energy; capable of destroying or restoring health very quickly. Dr. Buteyko said that everyone who over-breathes creates Chernobyl<\/a> in their own body. Learning how to breathe less reestablishes the natural balance in the body, which is called \u2018health\u2019.
