If nothing else sticks with me from this book, I know that the importance of nose breathing (and dangers of mouth breathing!) as well as the perfect 5.5 breath will. Breathing is a topic I love reading about and it ties in deeply with my devotion to yoga and meditation and mindfulness. Nestor is an expert storyteller and while this isn’t a medical text, it is hefty enough to at least lead to more research into breathing treatments for sufferers of common ailments of modern society.

50.36% "Okay, so now I have also tried taping my mouth shut while I sleep - only to realize I already breathe through my nose then so that’s a nonissue for me. Also am convinced I need to chew gum for hours a day to build up my chewing muscles to change the bone structure of my head 🤷🏼‍♀� If nothing else, Nestor can sell me, the biggest skeptic on earth, literally ANYTHING."
