Breath by James Nestor continues to deliver mind blowing scientific facts that need to be told and shared.

If you have crooked teeth, or your child, no matter the your or your child's age, you can grow more bone by stimulating stem cells in the face by simply chewing.

Who thought chewing gum would have such a great use?! ;)

This book has shown me that the health conditions my family and millions of others around the world, the human race, have come about because of our terrible soft western diets.

We are not chewing enough roughage. (Chewy steak or Raw vege anyone?). ;)

This is but one cause of a small mouth cavity....
..which leads onto mouth breathing......which leads onto poor sleep (insomnia), heart problems from poor sleep, respiratory conditions -

all because we have changed our diets, and in a lot of cases were not breastfed and given pureé foods.

Besides being a huge breastfeeding advocate, this old-but-new-to-me research shows me how much better baby led weaning is because the baby chomps and sucks food with gums which then sets them up for good mouth muscles, which leads to less mouth breathing which leads to better sleep, less respiratory problems....

And when you think about it, baby led weaning was the way humans would have eaten many many years ago.

And look at how the author of this book grew more bone in his face!!!! 😲

Breath by James Nestor is a book everyone should read.

I don't usually go on about this topic but...

I am a huge advocate for supporting mums to breastfeed.

And making them realise how important it is to push on and keep trying to do this miraculous thing for their babies.

Besides the plethora of lifelong benefits and how formula is just nothing like breastmilk for immune protection and SOO much - and not knocking anyone who chooses not to breastfeed here!

But my goodness, I had no idea breastfeeding also helps like this!

Mind blowing book I highly recommend everyone should read to improve the quality of life.

Whether you have breathing difficulties or not.

Isn't it amazing how much information the human civilization knew back then.

Perhaps it was because there were no major corporations hiding the truth that was often freely available. 🤔🤷🏼

Quick fixes are appealing — especially when you’re tired and frustrated.

But lasting metabolic and hormonal health doesn’t happen in a few weeks.

It comes from understanding your body, supporting it consistently, and making changes that evolve as you do.

Long-term care isn’t about being perfect.

It’s about being supported.

Many women I speak to believe their struggles with weight gain are a willpower problem, that they need to starve themselves, or commit to hectic exercise regimes.

In reality, after 35, a woman's body is at the very beginning of perimenopausal hormonal fluctuations which affects how her body responds differently to food, stress, and exercise.

That's why eating less and pushing harder often makes things worse, not better.

Understanding metabolism and hormonal shifts changes the conversation completely — from blame to clarity.

And that’s where real, sustainable change begins.

My Weekly challenge - will you try it, too?

Only speak and think positive things.

If you catch yourself saying or thinking anything negative, STOP!

Chemical messengers get fired up in your body - they respond to your thinking or saying negative (or positive) things.

They affect your health and become part of your physical body.

So make sure it's positive (not negative) things you think and say!

The technical term is: Psychoneuroimmunology.
