Summary of Anders Olsson's Conscious Breathing

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview:

#1 Poor breathing is the underlying cause of many health problems, and it can be improved by simply learning how to breathe correctly. When we repeat an action often enough, it becomes a habit. Once we have established incorrect breathing patterns, we risk them becoming permanent.

#2 Inefficient breathing reduces our ability to utilize the oxygen we inhale effectively. It will also result in us using more muscle power and effort to move the air in and out of our lungs.

#3 There are nine major negative effects of impaired respiration on the body, all of which prevent vital oxygen from reaching our working muscles and organs. The oxygen is not released to the tissues, and instead remains in the blood tightly bound to hemoglobin until we exhale it.

#4 Poor breathing can lead to being overweight. It can also affect our nervous system, which can lead to being overweight. Our heart has to work harder because it is not receiving the oxygen it needs.

#1

Poor breathing is the underlying cause of many health problems, and it can be improved by simply learning how to breathe correctly. When we repeat an action often enough, it becomes a habit. Once we have established incorrect breathing patterns, we risk them becoming permanent.

#2

Inefficient breathing reduces our ability to utilize the oxygen we inhale effectively. It will also result in us using more muscle power and effort to move the air in and out of our lungs.

#3

There are nine major negative effects of impaired respiration on the body, all of which prevent vital oxygen from reaching our working muscles and organs. The oxygen is not released to the tissues, and instead remains in the blood tightly bound to hemoglobin until we exhale it.

#4

Poor breathing can lead to being overweight. It can also affect our nervous system, which can lead to being overweight. Our heart has to work harder because it is not receiving the oxygen it needs.

#5

Impaired breathing also affects our 60,000 miles of blood vessels in a negative way. When we have lowered the carbon dioxide levels in our blood, because of over-breathing and/or physical inactivity, it affects the ability to open and dilate the blood vessels effectively.

#6

The muscles in the tongue, cheeks, and lips determine the position of our teeth in both the upper and lower jaws. When we breathe through the mouth, the tongue doesn’t rest in the roof of the mouth the way it should, but instead moves downward toward the center or the floor of the mouth.

#7

Airways become narrower when we breathe through the mouth, which allows cold, dry, unfiltered air to pass through our throat. This is a major contributing factor to the narrowing of the bronchial tubes.

#8

Shallow breathing can be likened to breathing through a snorkel that is too long, since the air only reaches
