From CBC Radio One’s The Sunday Magazine with host
Piya Chattopadhyay, the January 17, 2021 edition:

"The lost science and art of breathing rediscovered: We do it 25,000
times a day … and barely even think about it. But there's a lost
science and art to breathing, and rediscovering it can do wonders
for your physical health, and overall well-being. That's what
journalist James Nestor discovered in his deep dive into the
science and history of breathing. He talks to Chattopadhyay all
about breathing and shares some simple ways to improveyours
— a subject that's become even more relevant in the age of COVID-19."

Evidently Nestor’s and others’ research confirms some ancient
lore from yoga and Taoism and other sources. His main
points were to breathe through the nose and not the mouth
(except in the case of certain exercises) and to avoid overbreathing. Nestor’s latest book is entitled Breath: The New Science of a Lost Art.

When I was standing and listening to the program, I thought
that I am doing fine, I almost always breathe through my nose,
but then a few minutes ago I noticed I was hunching a bit
on this computer chair and breathing shallowly through
my mouth, so I will have to watch myself.

Also I think he said that some people, while they breathe through
their nose when they are awake, they have the bad habit of
breathing through their mouth while they are asleep.

I think by overbreathing he means breathing too rapidly,
not too deeply.
