Breath For Good Health

Breathing gives a lot of beneficial things. When we are stressed out, it is suggested that we take some deep breaths to relieve ourselves. It is very good for our lungs, and breathing brings forth goodness for our bodies.

It is also good if we breath from the abdomen, instead of from the chest. In that way, we would be able to take in more oxygen which is essentially absorbed through our bloodstreams. Shallow breathing is not advisable because it does not completely eliminate the carbon dioxide within the body.

It is good for cell metabolism and respiration, as well as proper brain function. Proper breathing increases energy levels and lung capacity.

So, how do we breath deeply? Here are some ways:

• Slowly breath in through nose and from the abdomen as deeply as you can. Hold your breath for about 10-12 seconds.
• Place your tongue between your front teeth and the roof of your mouth. Then slowly breath out through your mouth.

As easy as that. So breath now for good health!
