All living things breathe - us humans most of all. Breathing is so important and so intertwined with our bodily functions that nature hardwired our brains to control our breathing automatically.

Air, like food and water, is one of the substances that fuel life. Of course, it won't keep you alive by itself, but think about this - only 10% of our energy comes from food and water. The remaining 90% comes from - you guessed it - oxygen.

Eastern philosophies have long known the benefits of getting enough oxygen, and today even medical professionals are acknowledging it in therapies and practices. Many alternative healing proponents, myself included, point to it as the single most important health tip we could give you.

There's good reason for that. An average person can survive three weeks without food and three days without water, but can't live through three minutes without oxygen.

Accordingly, the body becomes prone to many serious diseases because of a lack of oxygen. Breathing puts oxygen in every single cell in the body, and if certain cells don't get the oxygen that they need, they become susceptible to disease.

The fact that so many of us don't know the proper way of breathing has added to the increase of medical conditions such as migraines, vertigo, obesity, and hypertension. Aside from proper breathing, other factors prevent oxygen from getting into our system, including pollution and stress, but proper breathing is the most important factor.

Here's a simple exercise. Place your hands on your lower abdomen and exhale all the air out of your lungs. Then take a deep, slow, natural breath through your nose. If you feel your midsection expand as your lungs take in air, then you're probably breathing normally.

Here's why - when you are breathing properly, it should fill the lungs to the very bottom, and as a result, our abdomen expands. When we breathe shallowly, which so many of us do, we expand our ribcages instead. Since the ribcage can only expand so much, we get less oxygen, and when we unconsciously do it over several years, can lead to possibly life-changing ailments.

Now sit back and think of your health. Do you suffer from something that won't go away anytime soon, such as hypertension or chronic migraines? Your doctors may imply certain causes and suggest certain remedies, but nothing will really make these disorders go away until you start learning to breathe properly.

Be kind to yourself and look through my list of programs. If you see any of your disease listed there, then I promise that I can help you cure those diseases for good - just as how I've done with hundreds of my customers.

I remain committed to help you breathe a little easier,
