| breathing exercises for hypertension: Breath James Nestor, 2020-05-26 A New York Times Bestseller A Washington Post Notable Nonfiction Book of 2020 Named a Best Book of 2020 by NPR “A fascinating scientific, cultural, spiritual and evolutionary history of the way humans breathe—and how we’ve all been doing it wrong for a long, long time.” —Elizabeth Gilbert, author of Big Magic and Eat Pray Love No matter what you eat, how much you exercise, how skinny or young or wise you are, none of it matters if you’re not breathing properly. There is nothing more essential to our health and well-being than breathing: take air in, let it out, repeat twenty-five thousand times a day. Yet, as a species, humans have lost the ability to breathe correctly, with grave consequences. Journalist James Nestor travels the world to figure out what went wrong and how to fix it. The answers aren’t found in pulmonology labs, as we might expect, but in the muddy digs of ancient burial sites, secret Soviet facilities, New Jersey choir schools, and the smoggy streets of São Paulo. Nestor tracks down men and women exploring the hidden science behind ancient breathing practices like Pranayama, Sudarshan Kriya, and Tummo and teams up with pulmonary tinkerers to scientifically test long-held beliefs about how we breathe. Modern research is showing us that making even slight adjustments to the way we inhale and exhale can jump-start athletic performance; rejuvenate internal organs; halt snoring, asthma, and autoimmune disease; and even straighten scoliotic spines. None of this should be possible, and yet it is. Drawing on thousands of years of medical texts and recent cutting-edge studies in pulmonology, psychology, biochemistry, and human physiology, Breath turns the conventional wisdom of what we thought we knew about our most basic biological function on its head. You will never breathe the same again. |

| breathing exercises for hypertension: The Oxygen Advantage Patrick McKeown, 2015-09-15 A simple yet revolutionary approach to improving your body’s oxygen use, increasing your health, weight loss, and sports performance—whether you’re a recovering couch potato or an Ironman triathlon champion. With a foreword by New York Times bestselling author Dr. Joseph Mercola. Achieve more with less effort: The secret to weight loss, fitness, and wellness lies in the most basic and most overlooked function of your body—how you breathe. One of the biggest obstacles to better health and fitness is a rarely identified problem: chronic over-breathing. We often take many more breaths than we need—without realizing it—contributing to poor health and fitness, including a host of disorders, from anxiety and asthma to insomnia and heart problems. In The Oxygen Advantage, the man who has trained over 5,000 people—including Olympic and professional athletes—in reduced breathing exercises now shares his scientifically validated techniques to help you breathe more efficiently. Patrick McKeown teaches you the fundamental relationship between oxygen and the body, then gets you started with a Body Oxygen Level Test (BOLT) to determine how efficiently your body uses oxygen. He then shows you how to increase your BOLT score by using light breathing exercises and learning how to simulate high altitude training, a technique used by Navy SEALs and professional athletes to help increase endurance, weight loss, and vital red blood cells to dramatically improve cardio-fitness. Following his program, even the most out-of-shape person (including those with chronic respiratory conditions such as asthma) can climb stairs, run for a bus, or play soccer without gasping for air, and everyone can achieve: Easy weight loss and weight maintenance Improved sleep and energy Increased concentration Reduced breathlessness during exercise Heightened athletic performance Improved cardiovascular health Elimination of asthmatic symptoms, and more. With The Oxygen Advantage, you can look better, feel better, and do more—it’s as easy as breathing. |

| breathing exercises for hypertension: Advanced Buteyko Breathing Exercises Artour Rakhimov, 2023-06-06 This book could be used in order to learn the Buteyko breathing method exercises even by people with poor results for the body oxygen test or the Buteyko CP test (less than 15 s). However, the best results, in cases of self-learning (or DIY methods), are achieved when the learner already has at least 25 s for the body oxygen test. This Kindle and PDF book is advanced, in comparison with other descriptions of Buteyko breathing exercises, in the following areas: The book describes relaxed breathing exercises for people with hypertension and panic attacks. These groups of learners are often unable to safely do breath holds and practice ordinary Buteyko reduced breathing exercises. Air hunger can worsen their symptoms. The book explains how to proceed from easy Buteyko breathing exercises to its more advanced types. This relates to breathing exercises with a moderate and strong degree of air hunger. Chapter 4 of this book provides practical scripts for the use of visualization and imagery during Buteyko breathing exercises. The book explains optimum and maximum durations for Buteyko breathing sessions. It also describes the phenomenon of overtraining due to Buteyko breathing exercises and steps that are necessary in order to solve this problem. Chapter 5 explains the phenomenon of a lost CO2 sensitivity, which should not be confused with the blunted CO2 sensitivity. The book provides practical step-by-step instructions how to overcome both of these health challenges using lifestyle changes and other special methods. The book describes instructions for application of Buteyko breathing exercises during physical activity. Chapter 6 describes the click effect that leads to nearly instantaneous transition to much better results for the body oxygen test (the CP test). For some (lucky) students, the click effect helps them to quickly break through 40 s threshold for the morning CP and achieve astonishing health benefits. These health effects include natural cravings for physical exercise and raw foods, sleep that is no longer than 4.5 hours (without trying), amazing clarity of mind, very high energy levels and other natural changes. The book does not include description of those lifestyle changes (related to sleep, physical exercise, diet and so forth) that lead to increased body oxygenation. It focuses on practice and progress related to the Buteyko breathing exercises. |

FEATURED CUSTOMER REVIEW I want to start out by saying thank you for changing my life in a positive way. Back in 2005 my mother passed away, and I was having a difficult time sleeping. At that time, I saw in our local paper an article on the Benefits of Proper Breathing to our Health, which mentioned a few resources, one of which was your Breathing Box. After purchasing it and trying your exercises while watching the DVD, I found myself sleeping much better than I ever did. This technique I learned from you did not give me these results overnight. It took probably several weeks for me to master the breathing techniques. For the last couple years, I have incorporated this type of breathing in my daily life with wonderful results. I can't thank you enough for how helpful this is to me. I have been meaning to write this testimonial to you much earlier. As you know, methodical deep breathing lowers your blood pressure and relaxes you—always helpful in this world we live in. I know that deep breathing is a time-tested and proven method, and it's only carried out by a few people, with me being one of them, thanks to you.—William Ruth |

| breathing exercises for hypertension: Home Blood Pressure Monitoring George S. Stergiou, Gianfranco Parati, Giuseppe Mancia, 2019-10-31 Hypertension remains a leading cause of disability and death worldwide. Self-monitoring of blood pressure by patients at home is currently recommended as a valuable tool for the diagnosis and management of hypertension. Unfortunately, in clinical practice, home blood pressure monitoring is often inadequately implemented, mostly due to the use of inaccurate devices and inappropriate methodologies. Thus, the potential of the method to improve the management of hypertension and cardiovascular disease prevention has not yet been exhausted. This volume presents the available evidence on home blood pressure monitoring, discusses its strengths and limitations, and presents strategies for its optimal implementation in clinical practice. Written by distinguished international experts, it offers a complete source of information and guide for practitioners and researchers dealing with the management of hypertension. |
| breathing exercises for hypertension: Deep Listening Oscar Trimboli, 2017-06-10 Over 55% of your day is spent listening; yet only 2% of us have been trained in how to listen. What is poor listening costing you? Do you rush from meeting to meeting, your head buried in the last conversation you had, without time to think of the next? Or feel frustrated with unproductive discussions where the loudest in the room adds limited insight and drowns out everyone else? We usually think of these situations as communication problems; that we have not spoken our needs correctly or clearly. Yet, conflict, chaos and confusion are the costs of not listening. Many communication and listening books say the most important person in a conversation is the speaker - not true! This pocket-sized guide will help you to reconnect with your innate gift of deep listening, to create the right space to listen to yourself before you listen to others. You'll learn to listen beyond the words that are spoken, to add context and meaning and listen in to what's not being said. Deep Listening will help you move from confusion and conflict to thoughtful, insightful and powerful discussions that will transform not just your work, but your whole life. |

| breathing exercises for hypertension: Pranayama for Enhancing Respiratory and Cardiovascular Function Dr. Vishwajit Thakare, 2021-11-16 Circulo-respiratory function is considered as most important fitness component in human. It helps to deliver essential nutrients, especially oxygen, to the working muscles of the body and to remove waste products during prolonged physical exertion. It involves the efficient functioning of the heart, blood vessels, and lungs. If a person is having low levels of cardiovascular efficiency, the heart has to work very hard during normal daily activities and may not be able to work hard enough to sustain high-intensity physical activity in an emergency or in some of the sports events. As cardiorespiratory fitness improves, the heart begins to function more efficiently. It doesn’t have to work as hard at rest or during low levels of exercise. The heart pumps more blood per heartbeat, resting heart rate slows down, blood volume increases, blood supply to the tissues improves, the body is better able to cool itself, and resting blood pressure decreases. A healthy heart can better withstand the strains of everyday life, the stress of occasional emergencies, and the wear and tear of time. Cardiorespiratory endurance training also improves the functioning of the muscles and liver which enhances the body’s ability to use energy supplied by food. |
