Breathing : a vital function of body

August 13th, 2008 by admin

Despite the fact that breathing is one of the most vital functions of your body it is not only a concept that is not well-understood but is also done improperly even by those who attend breathing meditation classes. It can affect the way you feel, both mentally and physically. Breathing through your mouth expands your chest, but if you breath through your nose you’ll notice how your abdomen extends. You see, nose-breathing causes the diaphragm to pull air to the bottom of your lungs. This delivers a good dose of oxygen into your bloodstream and brain. It also tends to relax you. What happens when you breathe incorrectly? Because an insufficient amount of fresh air reaches your lungs, your blood is not properly purified or oxygenated. Products that should have been removed are still in circulation, slowly poisoning your system. Digestion gets hampered.
