Summary of the EATS Breathing Program (EBP)

Habitual over breathing involves breathing more air than your body requires during rest and exercise. Over breathing leads to:

• A reduction in the gas carbon dioxide in the blood
• Mouth breathing leading to underutilization of the gas nitric oxide
• Impaired release of oxygen from red blood cells (the Bohr Effect)
• Constriction of the smooth muscles in the blood vessels and airways
• Adverse effects on blood pH
• Reduced oxygenation of working muscles and organs, including the heart and brain
• Limited sports performance
• Negative effects to overall health

Benefits of the EATS Breathing Program (EBP)

• Improved sleep and energy
• Easier breathing with reduced breathlessness during exercise
• Naturally increasing the production of EPO (Erythropoietin) and red blood cells
• Improving oxygenation of working muscles and organs
• Reduction of lactic acid buildup and fatigue
• Improved running economy and VO2 max
• Improved aerobic performance
• Improved anaerobic performance
