BREATHING

Here is a very short post on breathing. It’s well worth the effort to re-learn how to breathe. I say re-learn because we are all born with the ability to breathe properly using the diaphragm. Have you ever watched a baby breathing while she’s asleep, you can see her stomach rising and falling. This is caused by the diaphragm pushing up and down like a bellows. Every single cell in the body needs a supply of oxygen to live. Deep diaphragm breaths brings in more oxygen for metabolising fats and a great side effect is an increase in energy. Try it now. Did you feel a bit light headed – that’’s the effect of oxygen.



The other benefit is the removal of carbon dioxide, the bi-product of metabolism.

Here’s another post, which goes into another benefit when you breathe properly – how to stop anxiety.
