The article suggests the way how to exercise with maximum health benefits, even if you are not fit or sick with a chronic condition.
If you observe exercising people, you may notice that more than 90% of them are breathing through the mouth. At the same time, during nasal breathing we utilize nitric oxide generated in the nasal passages and in addition, the breathing centre located in medulla oblongata of the brain adapts to high CO2 concentrations and that make our breathing after exercise light and easy.
However, many modern people have about 20 seconds of oxygen in their bodies or less. They breathe about 2 times more air than the medical norm. In such conditions, the aerobic metabolism of muscle cells is hampered by hypoxia. The citric acid cycle (or Krebb cycle) of the human body becomes reversed and mitochondria starts to produce energy anaerobically without oxygen and with excessive accumulation of lactic acid, the main factor of chronic fatigue.
Therefore, what is noticed practically, if a person has less than 20 seconds of oxygen in the body, they cannot rigorously exercise, e.g., running, playing games, with nasal breathing is impossible. If this is the case, the best exercise for such people is walking with nasal breathing all the time. As father of medicine, Hypocrites, wrote about 2500 years ago, “Walking is the best medicine”.
Those people who have more than 20 seconds of oxygen are able to run with nasal breathing.
If breathing is very light and people have 40-60 seconds of oxygen or more, they experience joy of physical activity and they can literally fly above the ground when running with light nasal breathing. Why? If a person breaths much less already at rest, then this person’s breathing will be correspondingly lighter during exercise. Exceptionally healthy people can breathe only 2 litres of air per minute, whereas, sick people with asthma, heart disease, diabetes, cancer, etc., usually have about 15 litres of air for minute ventilation. Hence, when metabolism is about ten times more intensive, sick people breathe (during exercise) about 150 litres per minute, which is an absurd maximum for an ordinary person for breathing. An exceptionally healthy person would breathe during the same intensity of exercise only 20 litres of air per minute. This is about the same as how sick people breathe at rest.
All these observations have been discovered by breathing doctors and teachers who practice the Buteyko breathing method. This therapy is used by over 200 Russian medical professionals and numerous Western practitioners.

The Key Cause of Coughing is Discovered
Clinical experience and numerous medical trials have revealed that breathing training eliminates symptoms in asthmatics. Cough is the most prominent symptom in asthma. Hence, breathing abnormalities are responsible for the urge-to-cough reflex. This article explains the mechanism of coughing and its only cause: chronic hyperventilation.
World Wide Web Lies about Best Sleep Positions
Modern internet sites and articles suggest sleeping on one's back (supine sleep) as the best sleeping option. Meanwhile, medical research has totally the opposite opinion. Furthermore, other medical studies have found that supine sleep is among the leading causes of mortality in the severely sick due to acute states or exacerbations of asthma, heart disease, epilepsy, COPD, and many other conditions since early morning hours have highest mortality rates.
The Covert Connection: Sleep Deprivation and GI Distress as Tools in Intelligence Operations
Sleep deprivation and gastrointestinal (GI) issues are not just common health problems; they are also reportedly used as subtle techniques by intelligence agencies like the Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS) to incapacitate individuals subtly and covertly. These methods, which leave minimal trace and are difficult to attribute directly to foul play, are part of a broader strategy to manipulate and undermine targets without the need for violent or easily traceable actions.
