external respiration is important . There ’s really no disputing that . But when Apple denote its new breathing app at WWDC 2016 today , it included an indorsement from one of the large spewers of feel - good pseudo - scientific refuse , Deepak Chopra .
The novel app , Breathe , is part of WatchOS 3 , and will serve direct you through meditation and breathing practice session on your Apple Watch . That ’ll yield long - term health benefits , concord to this quote from Chopra displayed during the WWDC tonic :
Well , yes , breathing is a sound idea , one might say it is vital for stay on alive . But when it come to your “ body - judgment ” ? Hmmm . We ’ve looked in profoundness at Chopra’squestionable aesculapian advice , which , thanks to his active social media presence , has really helped scatter misinformation . Like the fact that your consistency canhear bacterium . Hey Apple , where ’s the app for that ! ?

Again , this is not to say there is anything wrong with breathing — you should absolutely do it . Gizmodo 100 percentage urge . But using Chopra ’s “ authority ” as an argument for Apple Watch users to download this app is not the most medically sound way to make that argument .
