Deep breathing protects, improves good health

When was the last time you took a deep breath? More importantly, are you conscious of your breathing throughout the day? Research and continued medical studies have shown how deep breathing can improve everything from stress, sleep, and weight loss.  In fact, our body systems all work in a manner that they protect us from different problems and ailments. The consensus – deep breathing should be a part of our everyday life.

It's been medically proven that deep breathing can lengthen the years we live. During our busy and hectic routine life, we breathe shallowly instead of deep and long breathe. But if we make it our habit then we can unconsciously take deep breathe during our daily and busy life.

Doctors and medical specialists recommend spending some time each day in a way in which you can take breathe deeply and consciously, allowing fresh air down deeper into your lungs. It is considered as a simple trick and exercise that provides the body more energy. When air gets in through deep breathing, it expands our lungs and this thing is so much healthier and beneficial for all of our body’s processes, systems and organs. The process of deep breathing allows more oxygen to come in and also helps in cleansing the blood.

A lesson in deep breathing...

Research studies suggest that each breath should last three to four seconds. It is the system of nature that when you breathe deeply your diaphragm muscle pulls your lungs down, so that they expand and so that you can really circulate oxygen down into the whole lung.

When your lungs are full with air, and then try to exhale slowly and pull your belly button back. If you make this thing your permanent habit, then this will help a lot in releasing the stress and you will also feel happier. Every morning, after waking up from the bed, take at least 10 deep breaths. This exercise will also help in removing the bad particles from your body.
