"Poor breathing is what you see when you look at 90% of the population," science journalist James Nestor told Zomorodi. "It includes breathing through the mouth, breathing up into the chest, unconsciously holding your breath, snoring, sleep apnea, asthma, on and on and on."

Nestor is the author of the bestselling book Breath: The New Science of a Lost Art, which chronicles his investigation into the power of breath. He explained that over the course of hundreds of years, humans have lost touch with natural breathing patterns as our posture has declined and we spend much of the day hunched over our screens and devices.

"If you are hunched over, you can't extend your belly. You can't take that soft, slow, deep breath," Nestor said.

This results in shallow chest breathing, which means we end up breathing more, which sends stress signals to the brain.

Breathing properly has an immense positive impact on our health and well-being. Slow breathing lowers our stress levels, increases focus, regulates our emotions and even helps us make better decisions. Luckily, Nestor feels confident that it's possible to retrain your body to breathe well. "I think you can absolutely be a healthy breather looking at a screen, without a doubt," he said.
