Most of us are chest breathers and are not aware of the signi鍖cant bene鍖ts of breathing diaphragmatically. It has been said that poor breathing plays a role in about 75% of the ills that cause individuals to see their doctor, says Jonathon Sears, CHEK Practitioner. This important role is acknowledged in many eastern practices like Yoga, Tai Chi, Qi Gong and even in different martial arts, and is becoming increasingly more acknowledged in high performance areas of sport. So why is breathing important? Without breathing, we may be in trouble! I am unsure of anything else that is as important to human life. At a basic level, breathing provides oxygen to our cells, energy and life. But its impact is greater than this. According to Functional Medicine, the body is not comprised of separate systems but rather interdependent systems reliant on each other. As an example, diaphragmatic breathing massages the stomach, gallbladder, small and large intestines (digestive system) via peristaltic (worm like) movements, liver and spleen (immune system), bladder and colon (excretory system). It helps different pumps in the body, like the cerebral spinal 鍖uid, to nourish and remove waste from the central nervous system. It also has connection to the heart (cardiovascular system) via its fascia and vena cava (main artery to the heart). of oxygen, as opposed to diaphragmatic breathing. The greatest transfer of oxygen happens in the lower parts of the lung where the highest densities of blood capillaries are located around the alveoli. With chest breathing, less oxygen exchange occurs and this results in an increased work load with a higher number of breaths. With approximately 22 000 chest breaths per day, we establish an incorrect muscle pattern rather than using the most important respiratory muscle the diaphragm. The overworking of accessory muscles leads to shortening and tightness, predominately in the neck and chest, which can lead to increased stress, headaches and musculoskeletal problems. It also can lead to lengthening and weakness of the opposing muscles like the trapezius and rhomboid, which are important for optimal posture. So to establish a new correct muscle pattern, I suggest taking as little as 10 minutes a day to focus on your breathing. This can improve your energy levels, posture, digestion, immune response, FITNESS and HEALTH with Cameron Corish Out of breath? Correct breathing can improve 鍖tness and wellbeing stress levels, sleep quality, and reduce muscle tightness and pain. Heres the breathing exercise I recommend my clients. Good luck this can be harder than your think! Breathing exercise Start in a lying down position facing up. Place your hands on your abdomen near your belly button. Slowly inhale for 5 seconds through your nose and feel your belly raising. Pause for a count of 5 seconds. Slowly exhale for 5 seconds through your nose or mouth and feel your hands dropping. Pause again for 5 seconds. Repeat for 10 minutes. Wishing you the best in 鍖tness, health and happiness.
