Want to feel better? Deep breathing helps to release endorphins: the feel good and natural pain killer. Moreover, these hormones can help aid you in sleeping more soundly.
There are many more advantages of deep breathing, however, one particular advantage is helping your muscles to relax. Especially after a long hard day of work. Our bodies are designed for bouts of work followed by bouts of rest. Deep breathing can provide for a big part of that rest period.
People suffering from asthma can get a breath of relief knowing that studies have shown that deep breathing exercises can help by making the muscles in and around the stomach stronger with continued deep breathing practice.
A good measure of deep breathing can be seen by the rising of the stomach, no the chest, on the breath in. A good way to measure this would be to find a quiet place where you can sit and relax for a moment. Put one hand on your chest and one hand on your stomach and be watchful of which is rising first. The Stomach should rise before the chest does.
Your breaths should be slow and long to give your body the chance to absorb as much of the oxygen as possible. Intake should be through the nose in very even draws, beginning and ending at the same speed.
Keep monitoring the stomach and chest to be sure you are doing it right, but if for some reason you don't master the concept at first, don't allow yourself to become stressed.
As with everything else, the benefits will be optimal if you practice practice practice. When practice becomes 2nd nature in a relaxed environment, branch out with the technique and use it during everyday activities.
With practice, you should be able to develop a habit of deep breathing exercises so that it becomes second nature. The more time you spend breathing properly, the less stressful your life will be. - 31856
