There is no more simple and powerful daily practise to improve your physical and mental health and wellbeing than correcting your breathing. If we had to give just one tip on healthier living, it would simply be to learn how to breathe correctly.
Our breathing is intimately linked with our nervous system. Our nervous system has a powerful influence on all our other body systems including our hormones and immune system. Therefore how we breathe determines our health. Improper breathing is a common cause of illness.

Are you breathing too much?Deep breathing is not the same as big breathing. Something seems to have been lost in translation when people think of them as the same. Big breathing is taking in bigger than necessary breaths. For optimal deep breathing we want the breath to be controlled and subtle. Signs you are over-breathing include: breathing through your mouth, feeling of breathlessness, fast heart rate, regular yawning or sighing, nasal congestion, dizziness, fatigue, restlessness, brain fog or concentration problems, anxiety, unrestful sleep, insomnia, digestive problems to name a few.

The way we breathe influences functioning of airways, blood circulation and oxygen release to the cells. Common conditions including asthma, hay fever, snoring, sleep apnea and anxiety can be significantly helped by simply correcting the way you breathe.

Breathing to Heal from AsthmaIt is well documented in research that a child or adult with asthma habitually breathes more air than a person without asthma. This can be recognised by the bad habits of mouth breathing, upper chest breathing, audible breathing and noticeable breathing at rest. The habit of over-breathing causes a disturbance of blood gases, as well as cooling and drying of the airways resulting in symptoms such as coughing, wheezing and breathlessness.
