"Breathe: The Simple, Revolutionary 14-Day Program to Improve Your Mental and Physical Health," by Dr. Belisa Vranich, takes a look at how breathing affects your health.
I picked up this book because I noticed that indeed I was a shallow breather and, in some cases, a person who tends to hold my breath when reading an email or listening to something that captures my interest.
Vranich explains in depth why this is a bad thing and how retraining our breathing can remedy so many things such as anxiety, digestive problems, and high blood pressure.
