What happens to your body & mind when you do not breathe deeply and consciously?

The fuel that runs your body is oxygen and it creates energy.

Your body cannot function without oxygen. Even if you eat the healthiest of meals every single day for the rest of your life, your body will not function properly without oxygen.

Your lungs are the tanks that hold the oxygen. It doesn't stay there very long. As soon as you INHALE these tiny balloons that look like grapes (called alveoli) filter oxygen into your bloodstream.

They dump oxygen into your blood and suck out the carbon dioxide out of the blood and send it back to your lungs to be exhaled out into the atmosphere.

The heart is the chief in charge of delivering blood to the rest of your body.

So what happens without sufficient oxygen?

Now few people like athletes and singers can breathe in 17 pints or approx. 8 litres of oxygen with every breath. The majority (9 out 10) barely breathe in 2 to 3 pints (not even a litre) of oxygen with every breath. That is less than 20% of what your lungs can actually take in. You are operating a magnificent energy creating machine on 20% energy. (ponder!)

Your lungs are like a pyramid shape, so in the top part, the blood flow is as much as half a teacup; there is more of a flow at the bottom of the lungs.

When we shallow chest breathe like most of us do, minimal oxygen gets to the bottom part where the alveoli are and most of the power of the blood capillaries are.

Now you can appreciate that for decades you have not been providing sufficient oxygen to your "energy creating machine!"

Ok, you didn't know, but now you do! Aren't you excited?

Don't you feel more empowered? Don't you feel more appreciation? Do you feel like you have a different perspective? Do you know what all of this means?

So when your cells are only getting 20% of oxygen you can imagine how much they are struggling.

Your cells get loaded with toxins which then slows down your digestion, eventually causes cancer, heart disease and other awful things we would rather not talk about.

When you breathe, as already mentioned 70% of waste gets expelled out of your body. What is this waste? Carbon Dioxide and toxins, if not removed they turn into fat and then get stored in the body.

Your body tries to store it far away from vital organs, so it goes to the belly, thighs, arms, hips, waist and rear for as long as possible. But if it persists, obesity is inevitable. Then the body uses all the energy it has to eliminate toxins so that is why you feel so lethargic.

Adding to the problem your blood chemistry gets screwy.

Toxins are acidic which then forces you to retain water because it tries to neutralize the acidity.

Obviously this causes you to feel heavier and bloaty which then causes you to breathe more with your chest causing you to let in even less oxygen. This is a self perpetuating situation. The less you breathe, the less you breathe.

The moment you eliminate all those toxins your body can begin working at processing the food you give it effortlessly.

All you need to do is start breathing properly, eliminate those toxins and lose that weight so you can start allowing more oxygen into your lungs.
