Breath: The New Science of a Lost Art

Breath through your nose as far as possible.
Practice breathing gently while allowing your diaphragm to inflate for five and half seconds, followed by a steady five and a half second exhale.
Advice that anyone with COVID or long COVID symptoms may recognise and easily the part of the book I found to be simultaneously most interesting and most credible.
It is probably a reasonable rule of thumb that any book which spends pages setting out how the ancients (of various vintages) knew far more than the blinkered scientific experts of today is unlikely to be entirely convincing. And when some of the featured “experts” who clearly know better than all their peers turn out on Googling to have a cult like Incel following it kind of confirms the view.
