                                    Thoughts & Insights of a Wellness Expert

Are you living like a video that keeps buffering trying to play?

                                                      Breathe , I say.
                 Of course I'm breathing you say, I would be dead if I wasn't, Dummy!


We can survive for around 3 weeks without food or 3 days without water. We cannot survive more than 5 - 6 minutes without breathing!

                          Did you know that the ‘simple’ act of breathing properly
                                      immediately boosts the immune system!


When you breathe unconsciously its like watching a video that keeps buffering, it doesn't flow, the quality is poor and you have to keep pausing it to try to get it to play well. A similar thing happens in your body when you do not breathe properly. Your body doesn't get enough oxygen and doesn't release the carbon dioxide waste so as it all builds up you have less energy and the body becomes out of balance leading to dis-ease.

Transform your breathing , transform your health!
Breathing not only supplies our organs with oxygen, it also rids the body of waste products and toxins.

When we are in pain, stressed or anxious we have a tendency to hold our breath or breathe shallow breathes. This sends a distress signal to our brain and can make the situation worse.
By using breathing exercises we can avoid this and improve our health.Sound good? 
So let´s have a look!


Are you a chest breather? or a belly breather?
Place your right hand on your chest and your left hand on your belly. Breathe in , which hand moves higher. If your right hand is higher, you are a chest breather. If your left hand is higher, you are an belly breather.

When you are chest breathing it is inefficient because then the greatest amount of blood flow occurs in the lower lobes of the lungs, areas that have limited air expansion in chest breathers. Rapid, shallow, chest breathing results in less oxygen transfer to the blood and subsequent poor delivery of nutrients to the tissues as well as retained carbon dioxide in the body. This is a learned habit, so therefore, like when you  learn to drive, you can train the body to improve its breathing technique.
If you do this consciously and regularly you will breathe from the belly most of the time, even while asleep.

Daily exercises

Breathing exercises should be done at least twice a day, when you wake up and before you go to sleep.It is also beneficial to do them if you feel stressed, anxious or are in pain.
  • Breathe in, through your nose, feeling your belly expand higher than your chest, this fills the base of the lungs with oxygen.. (if it helps you can count as you breathe in.....1..2..3..4..)
  • Hold this breath for a few seconds, not uncomfortably long just pause,  and then exhale slowly, through your mouth, (4...3...2...1....)
  •  As you exhale feel the breath move through your body releasing all tension
  •  Remember to exhale completely, contract the belly muscles, completely emptying the lungs.
  • Repeat this so that you do 5 breathes in and out.
  • Repeat at least twice a day but you can also do these exercises while watching television, standing in a queue or at other times throughout the day. If you feel at all stressed or tense , take a step back and breathe. The more often you do them the quicker you will breathe like this automatically.
  • As you learn to breathe consciously exhaling properly exhale through your nose.Only exhale through your mouth to practice full exhalation.
