Properly breathing decreases the risk of disease & improves immune system strength!
Many people are “shallow breathers” as a reaction to environmental stressors. Breathing in a shallow way keeps the body in a cyclical state of stress; stress causing shallow breathing and shallow breathing causing stress. This activates the sympathetic nervous system which keeps the body in constant “fight or flight” mode.
Long term shallow breathing can have serious health consequences. Working on proper breathing techniques will calm the sympathetic nervous system and keep you less susceptible to illness and disease.
Not only that but other benefits of bringing attention to your breathing include:
✅Reduce stress levels in your body
✅Lower your heart rate
✅Lower your blood pressure
✅Improve diabetic symptoms
✅Reduce depression
✅Better manage chronic pain
✅Better regulate your body’s reaction to stress and fatigue
