Breathing is classed as one of our bodies involuntary processes and is therefore created at birth, and whilst it may sound like an unusual concept, "how can it be that people sometimes breathe incorrectly"!
The answer is quite simple. breathing is not just involuntary. There are many factors that can cause us to breathe more and less, including stress, stop passive smoke, panic, emotion and most importantly habit. alt=balanced oxygen | carbon dioxide, graphic
Most people tend to
breathe
incorrectly out of habit! there are many reasons why this occurs . We are literally
trained to over-breathe or mouth breathe and we are lead to believe that deep breathing is
healthy. In times of stress, deliberation and emotion we are encouraged to "take
deep breaths" and we understand that with every breathing motion we inhale
healthy oxygen (O and exhale toxic gas carbon Dioxide(CO2).
Wearing Filters
Deep breathing fresh air provides our lungs with masses of essential oxygen; whilst exhaling releases poison carbon dioxide. Oxygen is gas of life, while carbon Dioxide is waste gas! Therein lies the problem.
Carbon dioxide is not waste gas. It is one of our most important chemical regulators of human bodies, and it is essential to ensure continued activity of our hearts, blood vessels and respiratory systems. Carbon dioxide enables oxygen to do its work and, in reality, we need more balanced carbon dioxide levels than we do balanced oxygen.
Carbon dioxide is an important part of proper respiration and body function. It dissolves in the blood, forming carbonic acid, and is important in stimulating respiration, strengthening immune system, maintaining proper acid-base balance, and has a calming affect on nerve cells.
When we over breathe, that is breathe more than the physio-logical norm, we are actually getting less oxygen, not more! This occurs because our bodies need to maintain minimum levels 6.5% carbon dioxide in our blood in order for the red blood cells to release oxygen we need. When we over breathe the fine balance between carbon dioxide and oxygen in our bloodstream is upset.
We may be taking in more oxygen media, into our respiratory system but we are also breathing out more carbon dioxide, and without this carbon dioxide, our bodies cannot use the oxygen we inhale leading to low energy levels. We need certain levels of carbon dioxide in our bodies to ensure they function correctly. When those levels are to low, chemical bonds between oxygen and hemoglobin (which carries oxygen through our blood) increases.
In real terms that means hemoglobin will not readily release the oxygen it is carrying, which in turn makes it difficult for cells in our brains, hearts, kidneys, muscles and other organs to get oxygen they need. Result, Deeper we breathe less oxygen our bodies absorb. our breathing should be based on quality not quantity with controlled slow diaphragmatic breathing.
Diaphragmatic breathing or deep breathing through the nose, heals the body, clears the mind, strengthens the immune system and helps you to relax. Practice as follows:
Fully exhale | inhale fully and slowly through the nose for the count of five | hold for the count of five | exhale slowly and fully for the count of five | hold out for the count of five | then repeat this five times. as you improve increase your count to seven which equals perfect number of heartbeats for breathing rhythm. When inhaling make sure that you breathe right down to the bottom of your lungs chest cavities and abdomen where you gain full benefit from the oxygen/carbon dioxide balance. If you choose to exhale through the mouth purse your lips to slow the airflow and create a slight back pressure which in turn assists the carbon dioxide balance and Nitric Oxide to form within the blood circulatory system.
Breathe easy as gentle slow breathing is a reassuring sign of peace and healthy rest. most of us consider the calm rise and fall of the chest, soft steady rhythms of breathing itself, to be evidence of good health, indeed the physical act of breathing right for balanced breathing indicates that we are alive and well, it is not surprising therefore that people find it difficult to understand concepts that, breathing shouldn't be an obvious function. When we breathe right, our chests do not expand and sink. Healthy breathing is quiet and shallow, with barely any chest movement.
.Mouth Breathing vs. Nose Breathing
Second hand Smoke/Passive smoke.
Use nasal filters to keep bush fire smoke,second hand smoke, and passive smoke, away from your lungs.As a passive smoker you are more vulnerable than the person smoking in that you have not built any resistance to counteract this type of airborne pollution. ( One hour exposed to second hand smoke is equivalent to smoking 4 cigarettes to the non smoker) Wood smoke contains many different chemicals, some of which are toxic to humans. When these chemicals are inhaled they cause health problems in young children and the elderly, particularly those with respiratory (breathing) and cardiovascular (heart) illnesses
Pregnant mothers in particular should protect there embryo from second hand smoke to avoid complications with their new born baby. See our page on Healthy Pregnancy for more details.
