Your breathing patterns are the result of your lifestyle. Most of us spend hours sitting indoors in front of electronic devices when our ancestors spent most of their time outside being physically active. When the lifestyle becomes unnatural, breathing patterns become unhealthy, encouraging excessive air intake. Most modern people over-breathe to various degrees because they don’t live as our ancestors did.
According to Dr. Buteyko, over-breathing or hyperventilation represents a major risk factor for many health problems. To restore the body’s natural balance, wholesome respiration restored via the Buteyko method is a must. It should result in the normal level of CO2 concentration in the lungs (also known as prana, the breath of life, our vital energy, etc.)
