AN INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER

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 25,000 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 S o 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.

Makes my hair so soft and healthy! BUT
Color: Biotin
I bought this obviously as a heat protectant for my hair. Most heat protectanta leave my hair with texture, like an almost sticky straw like feel to my hair. I thought that was normal. This one though leaves my hair silky, soft, smooth. It literally is so soft to run my fingers theough and takes down my flyaways/breakage from damaged hair. It has increased the quality of my hair so much it feels young and healthy again. HOWEVER, as much as I love this product , because of how soft it leaves my hair, my hair doesn't hold a curl when I use this. I wear beach waves most daysr and once I've used this my hair doesn't want to curl AT ALL. it feels equivalent to curling my hair in humidity. By the time I get to the second side, the first side has fallen out. It took me a while to realize it was how soft this product was leaving my hair that was the culprit. I've decided I don't care and am just figuring slightly different ways of styling my hair with less curl than I'm used to because I'm going to keep using this product for everything it does for me. OH! Also I bought a bottle and after like a hundred pumps nothing ever came out so I exchanged for a new one and the second did the same thing, I figured they couldn't both be broken so I just kept pumping and pumping and pumping (literally way too many times) and it finally started spraying and has been working perfectly fine. So just keep pricing that pump for what feels like forever and it'll start working for you! I highly recommend this product

Protects from heat and damage
Color: Biotin, Color: Biotin
This spray claims to protect hair from heat damage and strengthen it with biotin. I've noticed a significant reduction in frizz when using heat styling tools, and my hair feels stronger and looks healthier overall. The spray has a lightweight texture that doesn't weigh down my hair or make it greasy. It distributes evenly through damp or dry hair, making it convenient to use before styling. The scent is subtle and pleasant, not overpowering. It provides a decent level of heat protection. The spray bottle is practical and easy to use, though a lock mechanism for travel would be helpful to prevent accidental spills. I would recommend the Biotin Hair Protection Spray to anyone looking to protect their hair from heat damage and strengthen it over time.
