"breathe is to live, to live is to breathe. Learning to breathe is to live more years in health ". are born to life when the first inspiration is effected by the lungs. Live while they continue to function and perish when to stop working last breath. From first to last breath, our life is a continuous series of breaths.
eat to feed and breathe to oxygenate our bodies, but even without food we can reach survive 40 days or more, 3 days without drinking, without breathing, could not live more than a few minutes.
The Respiratory System is an integral unit which runs from the nose to the finer bronchi and alveoli, located in the distal parts of the airway. Part of the Respiratory having direct contact with the air breathed is a thin layer called respiratory mucosa, which lines the entire respiratory system seamlessly, from the nose to the bronchi finest.
The nose has two very important and tortuous narrow channels, the nostrils, which contain numerous hairs and are lined with mucous membrane and hot. These features, gives a number of important functions in respiration:
- acts as a filter, purifying the air and wiping of particles, micro-organisms and allergens. These impurities retained, thrown with exhalation and in case you have accumulated too rapidly or have managed to enter the forbidden regions, nature protects us by producing sneezing violently ejecting foreign matter.
- Warm air, cold from reaching the lower respiratory tract.
- Provides adequate breathing air moisture.
The Respiratory System, is made so that both can breathe through your mouth as the nasal tubes, but in terms of where to breathe, depend on the health and strength and weakness or illness.
Many of the diseases are contracted because of the habit of breathing through the mouth as well as colds and catarrhal conditions.
When you breathe through your mouth there is nothing from there to the lungs to filter the air or to stop any dust or other foreign matter. Furthermore, this incorrect breathing cold air will pass through the organs, adversely affected.
A person who breathes through his mouth all night, always wakes with a feeling dryness in the mouth and throat may also be suffering from snoring and sleep apnea.
air as it enters the lungs, is very different from outdoor air and distilled water is water from the tank. If you breathe normally through your nose, nostrils not be charged impurities.
To keep clean the nostrils, in addition to always breathe through your nose, you can:
- Take up the nose a little water to which it will have added a little sea salt, which is passed down the throat and throws it through the mouth (this is a method used in the East).
- Stand in front of an open window and breathe freely taking sure to close one nostril with thumb and forefinger or breathe the air that is open, repeating the same operation alternately with one and other nostril. Thus, we can clear the nose. If the trouble is caused by cold, to apply a little vaseline camphor or other similar preparation.
The thorax is that portion of the trunk between the neck and abdomen, whose cavity, known as the thoracic cavity, is mainly occupied by the heart and lungs.
is limited by the spine in the back, the ribs with their cartilages on the sides, the sternum in the anterior and below the diaphragm (commonly called the chest).
The ribs are twenty-four, twelve on each side of the spine, where they exit. The top seven pairs (true ribs) are attached to the sternum directly, not so with the five lower pairs (false or floating ribs), of which the two upper pairs are attached by cartilage to the other ribs, and remaining lack of them, are free anteriorly.
In respiration, ribs are moved by two superficial muscular layers, known as intercostal muscles, diaphragm separates the chest box from the abdominal cavity.
In the event of inhalation, muscles expand the lungs, creating a gap where air rushes under the famous law of physics. The whole process of breathing depends on the respiratory muscles, because they allow us to get as much lung expansion and therefore absorb most of the vital properties of air.
All parts of the Respiratory work in a coordinated manner in order to achieve proper and effective breathing, but breathing can be used to regulate the balance of our autonomous system and consequently the body manage stress and reactions emotional mind.
influence respiration, reflecting the fluctuation of the pulse. We can see that the pulse begins to accelerate when we breathe and slow down when you exhale. Inhalation, reflects and stimulates the sympathetic activity which, in turn, accelerates the heartbeat, while exhalation reflects and stimulates the parasympathetic activity which, in turn, slows the heartbeat.
form of respiration.
There are three ways of breathing, abdominal, thoracic and clavicular.
The complete breath is a combination of all three into one.
can practice with the body upright, sitting or lying down.
At the beginning, it has to expel the air that we gently nose, and then continue with the steps of implementation.
1 .- Breathing high or higher (clavicular breathing).
Execution: consciousness is directed toward the top of your lungs. The central part of the chest and abdomen freezes.
1 .- Inhale air through the nose, slowly raising the collarbone and shoulders, filling the upper portion of the lungs. 2 .-
exhale the air through the nose, slowly lowering your shoulders.
It uses only the upper chest and lungs, therefore, only go a small amount of air in the top of your lungs.
Using this type of breathing normally, hoarse voices and can produce unpleasant. It is the worst form of breathing. In the end, just breathing through your mouth.
2 .- Breath average (chest breathing or intercostal).
Execution: consciousness is directed towards the rib cage. The belly and shoulders remain stationary. 1 .-
Inhale slowly through your nose, while we expand the ribs on both sides. The diaphragm rises, the abdomen contracts, the ribs are raised slightly and expands the chest part. 2 .-
exhale the air through the nose, gently ribs shrinking.
is filled with air, the middle and upper lungs.
breathing is better than high.
3 .- Shallow breathing (abdominal breathing, deep diaphragmatic ...)
Execution: Consciousness, goes to the umbilical area. 1 .-
Inhale slowly through your nose, while making the diaphragm down (you'll notice how the hand of the abdomen, chest rises and stands still).
2 .- exhale the air sinking stomach, contracting the abdominal wall inward, forcing the expulsion of air through the nose (notice that the hand of the abdomen, low, and the chest still does not move) .
Fill the bottom half of the lungs and air. Much better than before. 4 .-
complete breathing.
Execution: Through concentration of consciousness, we encourage the entire body, always a rocker base effect of aspiration and expiration, achieving a perfect balance. 1 .-
Inhale slowly through your nose, counting to eight and then we make abdominal breathing, middle and upper abdomen trying to delay first, then the ribs and finally raise the clavicles. 2 .-
Exhale slowly through your nose, while, first retract the wall of the womb, then contract the chest and shoulders down is completed.
3 .- Among the inhalation and exhalation We can hold your breath as long as we can, without forcing.
TIPS.
- Breathing, when agitated, mixed and choppy, making the body work in the midst of anxiety, whereas when the breath is uniform, fair and peaceful, the body works in an environment of peace, rest and harmony.
- There should be no noisy breathing. It is essential to breathe silently. Both inhalation and exhalation are silent, slow, continuous and comfortable, without ever forcing.
- When inhalation and exhalation are superficial, it's like our rib cage, became a kind tight corset prevents us fill our lungs full of oxygen, which usually facilitates entry into states of anxiety, panic, anger or rage.
- All attention has to be conscious in the act of breathing, so that the three movements of the full breath are clearly discernible, but harmony chains.
- This breathing or not cause discomfort or fatigue.
- You can exercise as much as you want, at any time.
FULL BENEFITS OF BREATHING
- An increase in the amount of blood due to its increased oxygenation in the lungs. This helps to eliminate toxins from the system.
- Better body's ability to manage and absorb food. The digestive organs such as the stomach receive more oxygen and therefore, its operation is more efficient. The fact that the food itself are also more oxygenated even more help to better digestion of them.
- An improvement in the state of the nervous system, including the brain, spine, nerve centers and nerves. Again, this improvement is due to increased oxygenation, and therefore power, nervous system, which serves to promote the health of the whole body, because it communicates with all parts.
- A rejuvenation of the glands, especially the pituitary and pineal. The brain is especially beneficial for oxygen, requiring three times more than the rest of the body. This has a fundamental impact on our wellbeing.
- A skin rejuvenation. The skin becomes smoother and reduces the appearance of facial wrinkles.
- Through the movement of the diaphragm during deep breathing exercises, abdominal organs, stomach, intestine, liver and pancreas, get a massage. In addition, the movement of upper diaphragm provides another heart massage. This massage stimulates blood circulation to these organs.
- The lungs are able to be healthy and strong, assuming a good insurance against future problems breathing.
- The Complete Breath slowly and deeply, reduce the workload of the heart. This produces a more efficient heart and stronger, that works better and lasts longer. It also results in reduced blood pressure, and less likely to suffer heart disease. Breathing exercises, they can reduce the heart's work in two ways:
- First, a deep breathing creates a more efficient lungs, more oxygen comes in contact with blood sent from the heart to the lungs. This means that the heart not have to work so hard to send oxygen to the tissues.
- Second, deep breathing causes a major difference in pulmonary pressure and this in turn produces an increase in blood circulation, which allows the heart to rest.
- slow, deep breathing helps to control weight. If you are overweight, the extra supply of oxygen helps burn fat. If, however, there is insufficient weight, the oxygen fed to the tissues and glands.
- mental and physical relaxation. Breathing slow, deep and rhythmic causes a reflex stimulation of the parasympathetic nervous system. This produces a reduction in heart rate and relaxing the muscles. Since the state of mind and body are closely interrelated, these two factors is in turn a reflection of relaxation of the mind. Furthermore, increased oxygenation of the brain tends to normalize brain function, reducing excessive levels of anxiety.
- complete breathing exercises cause an increase in the elasticity of the lungs and chest. This creates an increased breathing capacity all day, not only during exercise. Therefore, all those profits remain throughout the day.
Exposed above, is a good reason for taking a few minutes a day, to control our breath and relax as much therefore our body.
I suggest you take advantage of the benefits of air in the countryside. If you have a chance, practice this form of full breath in a healthy and pure, uncontaminated. The beach and nature, whether in the mountains or in a park that are closest, or simply a place where you can receive the sun's heat, or just in your home with soothing music.
Your body will thank you. Your health will improve. Breathe Life.
