Sometimes, health benefits can be achieved by doing something incredibly simple, perhaps even obvious. Breathing deeply can qualify as one of these things and you might be surprised of the positive impact it can have on your body and wellbeing.
One of the most essential components of a healthy body is a healthy blood-stream, and the work that the blood-stream carries out on a day-to-day, minute-by-minute, second-by-second basis is remarkable and essential. The blood-stream transports oxygen and nutrients to the body’s cells as means of nurturing the circulation system so the body can resist illness and disease, and the engine which powers this is breathing.
Breathing helps to power the lymphatic system, which is also crucial to health and primarily helps to reduce of the impact of harmful materials in the body, by: staving off invasion from bacteria, viruses and fungi, recycling plasma proteins and expelling waste from lymph fluid.
Whilst, deep breathing is essential to these processes, it must be done in a highly systematic manner, for it to be truly effective. In order to breathe deeply in a productive manner you should, breathe in for one count, hold this breath for two counts and then exhale for two counts. With the application of this process, you are enabling time for cells to become fully oxygenated with blood, and for toxins to be expelled. In order to make the best of this process, it’s advisable to complete 10 cycles on a daily basis, which can serve as a means of improving your wellness without too much effort.
