The blood needs oxygen, and the one way to obtain it is through breathing in plenty of air. The function of the lungs is to supply this need, so use them. Expand them, and by all means breathe deeply. Respiration is the act of breathing, and it consists of both inhaling and exhaling. This act should be reduced to 12 times per minute in order to get the full effect of deep breathing. Time yourself and see how fast you are breathing. A quick breather is a shallow breather. A slow breather is a deep breather. Train yourself to breathe deeply and fully many, many times during the day. Deep breathing exercises the lungs, purifies the blood, strengthens the diaphragm, and helps you to relax. The ele- ments of the air are vital; they help nourish and sustain every form of life. The blood needs them, and the body will suffocate without them. Air is free. Breathe it. It will re-energize the entire body. |
