Breathing and Metabolism go hand in hand.

Did you know that "metabolism" is nothing but a measure of how much oxygen your body expends while making energy?

Is it not logical that the more oxygen you give your body to work with the higher your metabolism will be?

So your body needs oxygen to create energy and the rate at which your body produces energy is your metabolism.

The average person's body takes 4.8 calories to burn one litre of oxygen to create energy.

75% of the energy that is produced goes towards General Maintenance of your body.

"Metabolism" is the rate at which the body runs your brain, your heart, your liver, your kidney and even growing your fingernails.

Breathing is the key to warming and waking up your metabolism.

When you breathe more oxygen, several things happen that assist in speeding up your metabolism:

1. Heat rises in your body, our cells become more heated, they are more pliable, less rigid, they begin to open up to allow more space

for inter-cellular fluids to circulate. They become better at bringing in nutrients and carrying off toxins. Heat detoxifies the organs and

tissues and revitalizes the entire system.

Every day your body needs energy to burn through 700 billion old cells. These old cells are toxic and must be removed from your body, if not they just linger in your body demanding a lot of energy that otherwise could be used for processing food and eliminating weight.

2. By breathing deeper you promote better circulation of body fluids within your kidneys, stomach, liver and intestines.

When you don't take in enough oxygen your metabolism automatically slows down because now it moves into conservation mode. You are practically strangling your cells, depriving them of oxygen.

3. Slow metabolism also promotes sluggish blood flow. Your blood is what transports oxygen to different parts of your body so you can benefit of that energy and clarity. Without a good blood flow you will feel lethargic.

4. Another thing, your lymphatic system will not work properly, this is what takes care of all the waste, without it all the garbage starts

building up.  Only deep breathing can reactive it.
