The Advantages of Deep Breathing

Maybe you don’t pay that much attention to the way you breathe, but deep breathing can help you live longer and be happier. Try to breathe deeply into your abdomen through the nose, not the mouth.

Breathe in 3 to 5 seconds and out 3 to 5 seconds. Even if you repeat a 10 minute session 2 or 3 times a day it has a great impact on your body. In time, you will start to do it without having to think about it, because it will become a normal part of your day.

The best way to do deep breathing is by lying down on your back, without any distraction around. Relax your muscles and place your hands on your abdomen. Fill your lungs with air by inhaling deeply through your nose. As you inhale, count to 5. Then count to 3 while you hold the air. Count to 5 as you exhale slowly the air and release any tension from your muscles.

Continue this exercise for 5 to 10 minutes and repeat every morning and before going to bed.

You can also perform this exercise while sitting. If you repeat at the same time every day, you can establish a habit and you won’t need to think about it anymore.

Deep breathing will make you more productive, energetic and happier. Pay attention to the little habits that can help you have a better life.
