In preparation for this Winter Season, and all of the illness being spread/shed all around…

PLEASE start breathing. By the age of 50 most of us have decreased our lung capacity. High chest breathers are more susceptible to viruses affecting the lungs. Open mouth breathers have reduced use of lungs. We used to see this open mouth breathing in elders, but now we see it in younger people. Trauma breathers. This open mouth breathing also spreads more germs.

• Do core strength int exercises.

• Breathe DEEPLY. I teach people an 8-5-8 breath count.

  - 8 seconds in through nose, deep into stomach or lungs.

  - 5 seconds, hold air in and visualize a balloon being expanded that you are filling it up.

  - 8 seconds of a slow release through a relaxed mouth like your fogging a mirror.

• Walk briskly concentrating on tightening your abdomen and deep breathing

• Spend time outside or with windows open.

If you have already decreased your lung capacity you can order a lung exerciser on Amazon to measure and build capacity.

Don’t wait until your sick!

Preemptively ACT.
