We don’t think about breathing but we should! It’s at the core of our being. Breath constituted the life God gave to Adam. We breathe every moment of our lives; in fact it is the key to optimal health!
It may seem humorous, but you can actually have a breathing deficiency, that is a deficiency of oxygen due to improper breathing. If you have found yourself out of breathe during a stressful situation and not realizing it. This causes even more stress to your cells! This of course disturbs the flow of oxygen to the body.
Holding your breath or shallow breathing also causes imbalance of carbon dioxide in the blood, which interferes with optimal delivery of oxygen to cells. The result is poor blood flow, increased acidity and increased free radical activity in mitochondria, which is the same toxic outcome as a poor diet, lack of exercise or dehydration. Given an optimal diet, breathing can be the most important means of eliminating waste. Optimal breathing will eliminate 70% of the body’s metabolic waste, while defecating, urination and sweating combined eliminate the remaining 30%.
While deficient breathing contributes to toxicity, deep breathing reverses the trend. Deep breathing releases tension, increases oxygen intake, helps digestion and lowers blood pressure. It also helps increase blood flow which has a positive effect in your lymphatic system.
