LipZip: Breathe Better to Live Better

by Trisha O’Hehir, Timothy Ives

This book is written for everyone who is currently breathing!

Did you know that obstructive sleep apnea, restless sleep, brain fog, afternoon sleepiness, waking up tired, tooth decay, gum disease, bad breath, enlarged tonsils, long face syndrome, high vaulted palate, crowded teeth, bed wetting, snoring and in many cases, ADHD all have one thing in common—mouth breathing.

Many people are simply unaware of how they breathe, how to breathe correctly and the importance of breathing correctly. Many mouth breathers, for various reasons, are convinced they are unable to breathe through their nose. The vast majority of them, with some good advice and guidance, can learn to breathe correctly by making a few simple changes. Changing from mouth breathing to nose breathing will significantly impact the quality of life.

Babies are born breathing correctly through their noses. There are many reasons people switch from nose to mouth breathing, from thumb sucking to allergies. The key is to spot these shifts early and deal with them before mouth breathing becomes an ingrained habit, especially in young children. Incorrect breathing as a child can affect facial, sinus and airway development, leading to many problems in adult life.

The stories in this book represent real people whose names, professions and geographic locations have been changed in order to protect their privacy. Their signs and symptoms and life stories remain the same. Also included are the author’s stories, of how each of them switched from mouth breathing to nose breathing and the impact it had on their lives.

Within each story is a list of that person’s signs and symptoms and a final chapter presents the science explaining each case, if you want to geek out. At the end of the book a complete list of references is available, if you wish to delve deeper into specific subject areas.
