Autumn is sweeping in and it’s that time again to turn our attention to our breath. To ensure we are breathing fully and deeply. Not all the time as when we are busy running around during the day no doubt our breath is more rapid and shallow .
BUT to support our health and IMMUNE system we must be breathing fully as much as possible.
Studies have shown that deep ( diaphragmatic breath) can lower inflammatory markers in the body. We all know that inflammation in the body can then trigger illness.
Deep breathing lowers heart rate, blood pressure and cortisol levels, calms the mind and body, Increases energy levels … .. the list goes on.
How Diaphragmatic breath ( deep breathing ) works:-
Sitting in an up right position so spine is straight and longs can move freely
Place one hand on tummy and one on chest
Breathe in through your nose and let the air fill your tummy while the one on your chest stays still.
As you exhale draw your belly button in towards your spine.
repeat ….
It’s easy and it’s free ! My go to big health tip for the Autumn season ###
