Improve your body's oxygen use and increase your health, weight loss, and sports performance--whether you're a recovering couch potato or an Ironman triathlon champion.
One of the biggest obstacles to better health and fitness is a rarely identified problem: chronic over-breathing. We often take many more breaths than we need--without realizing it--contributing to poor health and fitness, including a host of disorders, from anxiety and asthma to insomnia and heart problems.
In The Oxygen Advantage, the man who has trained over 5,000 people--including Olympic and professional athletes--in reduced breathing exercises now shares his scientifically validated techniques to help you breathe more efficiently. Patrick McKeown teaches you the fundamental relationship between oxygen and the body, then gets you started with a Body Oxygen Level Test (BOLT) to determine how efficiently your body uses oxygen. He then shows you how to increase your BOLT score by using light breathing exercises and learning how to simulate high altitude training, a technique used by Navy SEALs and professional athletes to help increase endurance, weight loss, and vital red blood cells to dramatically improve cardio-fitness.
Following his program, even the most out-of-shape person (including those with chronic respiratory conditions such as asthma) can climb stairs, run for a bus, or play soccer without gasping for air, and everyone can achieve:
With The Oxygen Advantage, you can look better, feel better, and do more--it's as easy as breathing.
NOSES ARE FOR BREATHING, MOUTHS ARE FOR EATING

USE THE BUTEYKO BREATHING METHOD TO SLEEP SOUNDLY AND WAKE UP FRESH
In as little as seven days, experience better quality sleep, wake up more alert and benefit from improved day time energy levels.
Both snoring and sleep apnea are forms of sleep-disordered breathing, and can be improved and corrected by practicing simple breathing exercises designed to change breathing habits both day and night.
The manner in which we breathe during the day determines how we breathe during sleep. If we have developed bad habits, such as breathing through the mouth, periodic sighing, or have noticeable breathing during rest, then this will translate into more intense breathing during sleep.
Good breathing during rest should be light, gentle, calm and through the nose. Snoring and sleep apnea is unlikely to occur when breathing is through the nose and light during sleep.
Sleep with Buteyko--Physician developed breathing re-education to reduce snoring and obstructive sleep apnea. Easy to apply and noticeable results within seven days:
