Breathing.
Our lives depend on it.
And we know this. Yet we don't really know it.
New research is highlighting the total significance that Whole Chest Breathing can have for our entire well being.
Dr. Libby, well known in Australia and New Zealand, sees that breathing is one of the key factors in bringing us peace and optimal body functionality.
Often we understand that deep breathing will bring calm, and support us to travel through stressful situations more easily. Dr. Libby sees that breathing shapes our cortisol production, and so in that way, breathing will support our metabolism to function in an optimal fashion.
Plainly said, shallow breathing will make us stressed. And fight our body's efforts to keep us a healthy weight.
Dr. Libby advocates using our phones to schedule time on every day for relaxed breathing. For 17 cycles of whole body breathing. Enough to take our body out of an Autonomic Nervous System and into the Parasympathetic Nervous System, or our Rest and Repair mode.
We schedule all manner of appointments. How about one for breathing?!
Schedule a session for 2pm. After lunch, to support good digestion, and before the afternoon rush of the end of the day.
Lock it in!!!!!
