How To Breathe Properly For Good Health
Breathing
is such a primary function for our survival that can be used to
reduce stress and stimulate good health. Notice that your breath is
fast, short and shallow when u are angry, fearful or under stress and
how you naturally take deeper, slower and longer breaths when you are
in peaceful and relaxed state. This is to say that breath awareness
and conscious relaxation, you can enhance your ability to cope with
life’s increasing pace and take control of all aspects of your
health in general. Besides, deep breathing also enhances
concentration and eases pain. Research have even shown that breathing
correct helps to burn fat, make your skin glow and correct hormone
imbalances in addition to lowering blood pressure, improving
digestion and increases blood circulation throughout the body and
decreases overall anxiety.
However,
many have adopted bad breathing habits and shollow breathe with out
chest instead of with out diaphragms. By changing breathing patterns
and consciously breathing deeply into the abdomen, you can create a
calm relaxed state from a stressful one. Deep breathing calms both
the body and mind by slowing down heart rate and easing the nervous
system. However, many people rush around, shallow-breathing their way
through life and wondering why they always feel stressed, unwell and
out of breath.
By
learning simple breathing exercises and by becoming more mindful of
the art as well as the act of breathing, you can do a power of good
for your mind and body. It is recommended that you practice twice
daily for a minimum of five uninterrupted minutes using the following
steps:
- Sit in a chair, with your back straight but not rigid.
- Relax your shoulders and place your palms on either side of the abdomen
- Inhale slowly through the nose, drawing air into the abdomen to fill and expand it and then up through your middle and finally expanding the chest.
- Repeat 2-3 times.
