Start paying attention to the way you breathe: Are you breathing deeply enough?
Most of us do not breathe deeply; this fast-paced life has created a nation full of shallow breathers.
Shallow breathing adversely affected my health and incapacitated me in life. As a young person, I did not realize it was my breathing that caused my frequent stomach aches. During my teens I was treated for my upset stomach with little yellow pills . The pain–just like my shallow breathing–grew worse when I became stressed.
Learning how to breathe into my belly changed my life! You can read below my whole story and the many ways it can help you.
1. Respiratory System Works Better
Respiratory difficulties such as asthma, bronchitis and even chest pain can subside.
2. Digestive System Does Its Job
What I have learned through my health-coaching is that constipation is very common and is often due to shallow breathing. When people learn to breathe into their lower abdomen they begin to have regular bowel movements right away.
Breathing into the gut massages the internal organs to function well. It calms the emotions which directly affects the digestion system. There are other ways to improve digestion but this is an easy one.
