Every Breath You Take...

...can be life-giving and life-renewing.

Did you know that taking just 5-10 minutes a day to take a "deep breathing break" can have long-term and significant health benefits?

Benefits include:
  • releasing tension from the body and mind
  • reduction of pain
  • aids digestion
  • strengthens the lungs and immune system
  • boosts energy
  • improves mental clarity
  • reduces tension


to name but a few of the many, many pluses of committing a small amount of time every day to really focus and breathe correctly and fully.


I am adding a couple of 5-10 minute breaks for deep/full breathing in addition to my exercise breaks. I spend a LOT of time in front of my computer most days (can you relate?). I know that I need to do more in terms of daily exercise. Now I also realise that "breath breaks" can be very beneficial too.


And, as this informative article explains, it doesn't have to be anything complicated or time-consuming to work. Only a few minutes each day can add up to lifelong health rewards. Included at the end of this article is a simple breathing exercise that only takes minutes to complete. I hope you will find it helpful too.
