There are many benefits to learn how to breath correctly. The most important one is also the most obvious one. If breathing is correct, lungs will be completely saturated with oxygen, leaving plenty to be carried via the blood to the most remote areas of your body. Below I will describe proper Diaphragmatic a.k.a. Abdominal Breathing.
Breathing Exercises
Breathing exercises are useful in reducing generalized anxiety disorders, panic attacks, agoraphobia, depression, irritability, muscle tension, headaches, and fatigue. They are successfully implemented in the treatment and prevention of breath holding, hyperventilation, shallow breathing, and cold hands and feet.
Breathing to increase Awareness and Relaxation: A Primer
Think consciously for a moment about the breathing process. If you cut off the oxygen flow you will die. Would it not make sense to establish a connection between proper breathing, and overall health? With every breath you take in nourishment in the form of oxygen, which is distributed to the smallest parts of your body. With every out cycle you rid the body of waste products in the form of carbon dioxide.
