Less Stress
Breathing is a unique physiological function as it is both voluntary and automatic. By modifying one's breathing, taking slower, deeper breaths one has the ability to help control the nervous system. Ultimately, breathing slowly can induce a state of relaxation, focus, and calmness.
Better Circulation
When we breathe only using the chest, our breathing becomes rapid and shallow. This kind of chest breathing doesn't fully expand the lungs and leaves static air in parts of the lungs. Expanding only parts of the lungs increases the likelihood of poor blood circulation, which impairs the functioning of the organs and can lead to infection or other health problems. Deep breathing stimulates and allows your lymph system to work better and thus, avoid circulatory problems. Pumped from the heart, blood circulates oxygen to the arteries and capillaries. Cells in our bodies take oxygen for their health and excrete toxins.Cells depend on the lymphatic as the only way to expel toxins.
