We sometimes look for complicated solutions to bring ease into ourself , while deep breathing is one of the most efficient healing tools available to us at any moment.
BREATHE DEEPLY.
Here is why 🔻
💚Improves blood circulation.
With deep breaths, the upward and downward movement of the diaphragm helps remove the toxins from the body promoting better blood flow.
Due to increased blood flow, we get more oxygen into our blood. Increased oxygen results in increased energy levels.
💚Improves posture
When you fill your lungs with air, this automatically encourages you to straighten up your spine.
💚Reduces inflammation
A lot is said that diseases like cancer only thrive in bodies that are acidic in nature. Deep breathing is said to reduce the acidity in your body, thereby making it alkaline. Stress also increases acidity level in the body. Breathing also reduces stress and thus the acidity.
💚Detoxifies the body
Carbon dioxide is a natural toxic waste that comes out from our body only through breathing. But when our lungs are compromised by shallow breathing the other detoxification system starts working harder to expel this waste.
As our breathing is what moves the lymph, shallow breathing can lead to a sluggish lymphatic system which will not detoxify properly. Deep breathing will help you get the lymph flowing properly so that your body can work more efficiently.
💚Improves digestion
Breathing deep supplies more oxygen to all our body parts including our digestive system, thus making it work more efficiently. The increased blood flow due to deep breathing also encourages intestinal action which further improves your overall digestion.
💚Relaxes mind and body
When you are angry, tensed or scared, your muscles are tightened and your breathing becomes shallow. At this time your body is not getting the amount of oxygen it requires. Long deep breathing reverses this process, allowing your body (and mind) to become calmer.
