You're Alive, Breathe

By: Christian Goodman All living things breathe - us humans most of all. Breathing is so important and so intertwined with our bodily functions that nature hardwired our brains to control our breathing automatically.

Air is one of the materials that make us live, much like food and water. 10% of our energy comes from food and water, and the remaining 90% comes from - you guessed it - oxygen.

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.

The reason for that is this - An average person can survive for three weeks without food, and three days without water, but without oxygen, we can't live through three minutes.

As a result, a lack of oxygen leaves the body more vulnerable to many serious ailments. Oxygen is put into every single cell of the body through breathing, and if you are not breathing properly, some cells do not get the oxygen that they need, thus making them 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 is 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 I want you to think about your health. Can you think of something that you know has been there for a long time, such as hypertension or chronic migraine? Your physicians may give you certain diagnosis and cures, but without proper breathing, these sicknesses will not go away.

Be kind to yourself and look through my list of programs. If you see any of your disease listed there, then I promise that I can help you cure those diseases for good - just as how I've done with hundreds of my customers.

I remain committed to help you breathe a little easier,

Christian Goodman
