The Breathing Expert: Mouth Breathing Linked To ADHD, Diabetes & Child Sickness!

TL;DR

The modern environment (posture, sitting, soft/processed food, indoor CO₂) causes 95–99% of people to breathe dysfunctionally, primarily through the mouth. Mouth breathing at night is linked to ADHD, diabetes, asthma, autoimmune issues, and cognitive decline, while nasal breathing – using the diaphragm with proper posture – can prevent or reverse these conditions.

• Ninety-five to ninety-nine percent of people breathe dysfunctionally, ranging from mild (athletes pushing through pain) to severe (asthmatics with panic attacks).
