Our bodies are constantly using oxygen to perform the necessary processes we need to live. From digestion to heart rate to the brain’s messaging system, our breath gives our most basic cells the ability to perform. Learning how to hone in and control the breath is the key to taking control of your health.
Sadly, nearly every patient I work with is a stressed-out, inefficient breather! I believe this is partly due to our modern lives of endless technology, instant gratification, and less and less human social contact. We have innately lost the ability to be self-aware and comfortable in our own skin. (Including myself!)
The good news is that we can take back control of our breath - and our health - and make radical changes with some easy steps and habits.
