You're Alive, Breathe

by Christian Goodman

All living things breathe - most especially us humans. Nature hardwired our brains to control our breathing automatically because it is so important and so connected with our bodily functions.

Air, food, and water are the substances that fuel life. The most important is air, because only 10% of our energy comes from food and water, and the remaining 90% comes from oxygen, which we get from air.

The eastern world has long known the importance of oxygen in our bodies, and today even the medical community is acknowledging it in therapies and practices. As an alternative healing advocate, I can say that it is the single most important health tip that I can give you.

There's good reason for that. An average person can survive three weeks without food and three days without water, but can't live through three minutes without oxygen.

Consequently, it's the lack of oxygen that leaves the body susceptible to many serious diseases. Breathing oxygenates every cell in the body (yes, every single one), and if certain cells don't get the oxygen they need, they're more prone to develop afflictions.

The fact that so many of us don't know how to breathe properly has contributed greatly to the rise of medical conditions such as migraines, vertigo, obesity, and hypertension. Several other factors also contribute to the lack of oxygen getting into our systems, such as pollution and stress, but none of these factors are as serious as not breathing properly.

Here's a simple exercise. Place your hands on your lower abdomen and exhale all the air out of your lungs. Then take a deep, slow, natural breath through your nose. If you feel your midsection expand as your lungs take in air, then you're probably breathing normally.

Here's why - when you are breathing properly, it should fill the lungs to the very bottom, and as a result, our abdomen expands. When we breathe shallowly, which so many of us do, we expand our ribcages instead. Since the ribcage can only expand so much, we get less oxygen, and when we unconsciously do it over several years, can lead to possibly life-changing ailments.

Now sit back and think of your health. Do you suffer from something that won't go away anytime soon, such as hypertension or chronic migraines? Your doctors may imply certain causes and suggest certain remedies, but nothing will really make these disorders go away until you start learning to breathe properly.

Do yourself a favor and look through my list of programs. If you are suffering from any of the disease listed there, then I personally guarantee that I can assist you in wiping out those diseases - just like I've done with hundreds of my satisfied customers.

I remain committed to help you breathe a little easier,

Christian Goodman
