Breathing is an important process in the sustainability of our lives. This is because it’s the way through which our internal organs are supplied with the oxygen necessary for cell physiology. In fact, our brain consumes more than 20% of all the oxygen we inhale. Without breathing, brain and organ damage would be prevalent and we would die within minutes.

The reality is that most of us have no idea of the correct method by which to breathe. As funny as it may sound, you’ve probably been breathing wrongly all your life. This has a lot to do with the change to a more sedentary lifestyle due to technology taking over difficult tasks such as transport.

Shallow breathing is the main reason to oxygen insufficiency because our lungs do not exercise enough to increase their holding capacity. Without oxygen, we become fatigued and there is little circulation of nourishing blood to the body. The result is an excessive build up of toxins, and what’s next is a slippery slope to ill health and frequent diseases. Oxygen deprivation also results in premature aging, weaker immune system, and a reduction in vitality.
