-IF I HAD TO LIMIT MY ADVISE TO HEALTHIER LIVING TO JUST ONE TIP, IT WOULD BE TO LEARN TO BREATH CORRECTLY. INDIAN AND CHINESE TRADTIONAL SCHOOLS LIKE YOGA AND TAOIST HAVE EMPHASIZED VITAL ROLE OF CHI OR PRANA OR LIFE FORCE ENERGY DERIVED THROUGH BREATHING.
-As correct breathing improves oxygen supply and energy in body, it heals from asthma, chronic pain, poor digestion, depression , stress.
-Rapid & shallow breathing is root cause of many problems. Shallow breathing activates sympathetic NS which triggers message to adrenal gland that body is in fight-or-flight mode and shoots cortisols & stress hormones in blood resulting in inflammatory response and low immunity.
-HOW SHOULD WE BREATH?
BREATH DEEPLY THROUGH NOSE INTO YOUR ABDOMEN NOT JUST CHEST WHICH WILL ALWAYS BE DEEP, RELAXED, SLOW, RHYTHMIC.
