About
In this episode we get to meet Jane Tarrant - a breathing re-trainer and awareness coach; founder of LiNK BREATHING.
On average, a human being will take 670 million breaths in our lifetime. That’s roughly 25,000 inhales and exhales a day. Research shows that asthma, anxiety, ADHD and other modern maladies could be reduced or reversed by simply changing the way we inhale or exhale.
We explore how our diet has played a major role in changing the shape of our faces and our breathing and why many of us have become a nation of mouth breathers and over-breathers.
We explore why breathing has become a lost art, despite being an integral part of most major religions and practices including Buddhism, Christianity and Hinduism but it is only recently that we have learnt how breathing can reduce blood pressure, boost performance and balance the nervous system.
A researcher from Yale called Yandell Henderson said "carbon dioxide is the chief hormone of the entire body. It is more fundamental component of living matter than oxygen " - we talk about what is so important about carbon dioxide and the benefits in can bring.
With hormones in mind we explore how breathing can help manage physical and psychological effects of perimenopause and Jane shares some tips for re-gaining control and confidence during a hot flash and tells us about the courses that she runs for perimenopause and anxiety.
