Asthma is an incredibly common disease that’s usually managed by treating the symptoms. But new research shows a potential way to target a root cause of the disease, with a molecule preventing structural changes in the airways of asthmatic mice and all… Continue reading New treatment for a root cause of asthma proves promising in mice tests
Scientists studying the health benefits of a form of high-resistance breathing training have published new research demonstrating how it can increase our capacity for exercise. The technique was also shown to improve certain aspects of metabolism when … Continue reading 5-minute breathing exercises found to boost tolerance for the treadmill
When experiencing anxiety, many people may feel the need to hug a squishy object such as a cushion. According to a new study, the act of doing so could actually help reduce feelings of anxiety – especially if the cushion “breathes.”Continue ReadingCate… Continue reading “Breathing” cushion shown to reduce anxiety when hugged
Imagine if you were an amateur singer or athlete in training, and you were able to “feel” the manner in which a professional breathes while they’re performing. That’s just one of the potential uses of a new “smart” fiber, which could also have medical … Continue reading OmniFiber garments record and play back wearers’ breathing patterns
Strength training is a well-established way to boost the capabilities of the body’s many muscle groups, and the same may well be true of those that facilitate breathing. A new study has provided the strongest evidence yet that a daily practice designed… Continue reading 5-minute breathing workout matches vascular benefits of exercise
Scientists have made the surprising discovery that some mammals can absorb oxygen through their intestines. The team experimented by administering oxygen enemas in a gas or liquid form to mice, rats and pigs, and found that they could survive much long… Continue reading Emergency oxygen enemas could help us “breathe” through our intestines
The anole lizard may be a popular pet, but here’s something that not many people may know: some of the things can breathe while underwater. A new study has confirmed their ability to do so, and explains what makes it possible.Continue ReadingCategory: … Continue reading Study confirms that nose bubbles allow anoles to breathe underwater
We’ve probably all given a lot of thought to breathing this year in various contexts. Though breathing is something we all must do, this simple act has become quite the troublemaker in 2020. They say the best art imitates life, and [bornach]’s Astable Exhalation certainly does that, right down to …read more
