Breathing is one of the most neglected topics in terms of health and physical performance. This is despite the fact we take a breath several times a minute. We take it for granted and don’t seem to question it in any way. But more and more people stop nasal breathing and switch to constant mouth breathing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
