It is a proven fact that breathing promotes wellness, try not breathing and you’ll probably not last too long. Seriously though, our society today is like a race. Everybody is going at a very fast pace and stress cases have increased leading to illnesses and ailments. Most people are in a rush and have had no time to relax and unwind.
Some down time each day can help so much in decreasing bouts with stress, the leading cause of nervous breakdowns and depression. What you need to do is learn how to breathe properly and to just stop what you are doing, relax and take deep breaths periodically every day. By doing so, you will be able to avoid stress and promote wellness.
- Learn how to breathe using your lower lungs. Breathing comes naturally, but, most people breathe using their upper longs. When we were born, we first used our lower lungs to breath, that’s why when you look at infants, when they breathe, you will see that their bellies are the ones that expand when they inhale.
Using our lower lungs allows us to take in more air, thus letting in more oxygen to be delivered to our organs, especially the brain.
- Do not rush your intake and exhalation. Inhale deeply and allow the air to fill in your lungs. As you continue to do so, there will be more oxygen delivered to your heart, muscles and brain allowing it to relax.
Do this as many times as you can each day for about five minutes or so.
