Nestor promoted the book with appearances on The Joe Rogan Experience and CBS This Morning.
Publication and promotion īreath was published by Riverhead Books on May 26, 2020. Nestor wrote the book after ten years of researching the subject. He also worked with scientists at Stanford University whose research suggests that returning to a state of nasal breathing will improve an individual's health. It includes Nestor's first-person experiences with breathing. Nestor explores research that argues that this shift (due to the increased consumption of processed foods) has led to a rise in snoring, sleep apnea, asthma, autoimmune disease, and allergies. It investigates the history of how humans shifted from the natural state of nasal breathing to chronic mouth breathing.
The book examines the history, science, and culture of breathing and its impacts on human health. The book became an international bestseller, selling over two million copies worldwide. The book provides a historical, scientific and personal examination of breathing, with a specific interest in contrasting the differences between mouth breathing and nasal breathing. The sea covers seventy per cent of Earth's surface, and still contains answers to questions about the world we are only beginning to ask: Deep blends science and adventure to uncover its amazing secrets.Breath: The New Science of a Lost Art is a 2020 popular science book by science journalist James Nestor. And on the way down, he learnt about the amazing amphibious reflexes activated in the human body under deep-water conditions, why dolphins were injected with LSD in an attempt to teach them to talk, and why sharks like AC/DC. Soon he was visiting the scientists who live 60ft underwater (and are permanently high on nitrous dioxide), swimming with the notorious man-eating sharks of Reunion and descending thousands of feet in a homemade submarine. The free divers were Nestor's way into an exhilarating and dangerous world of deep-sea pioneers, underwater athletes, scientists, spear fishermen, billionaires and ordinary men and women who are poised on the brink of some amazing discoveries about the ocean. Sometimes they emerge unconscious, or bleeding from the nose and ears, and sometimes they don't come up at all. He had stumbled on one of the most extreme sports in existence: a quest to extend the frontiers of human experience, in which divers descend without breathing equipment, for hundreds of feet below the water, for minutes after they should have died from lack of oxygen. Covering a diving championship in Greece on a hot and sticky assignment for Outside magazine, James Nestor discovered free diving.
